is that these new products are actually going to reduce these cigarettes or making the tobacco with a wish to when to far less be frank in violation of old international obligations and common sense they chose to escalate this situation. russia is foreign minister does not hold back during his annual press conference with one topic dominating thought nato expansion to regular roth once again outline moscow's red line also ahead in the program. but the i was reportedly being training a lead ukrainian special operations teams on us, her a trait up the mid month thing engines with russia, and yet more twists. in the survey involving tennis superstar novak brokovich, the world number one visa is revoked. once again, bias trillion,

meaning he could face a 3 year end pre bond, but it's still scheduled to play in the australian open grants from event on monday . with accounting from moscow to the world. this is archie pleasure to have your company today. my name's unit on the west went too far. those were the strong words of the russian foreign minister today when talking about international security issues of his annual press conference. so again, left off also slammed the u. s. sound, its allies for hypocrisy. when it comes to human rights violations, rural, so the west, when to far less be frank in violation of all international obligations and common sense they chose to escalate this situation. well, you see the west condemns violent actions against civilians. they condemn human rights violations. but when bloody cause a carried out by those who swear their allegiance to the west,

the west embraces them. this is what happened with the ukrainian qu. many people died there, including at the hands of provocateurs and his crew was approved by the united states and the europeans just accepted that as fact. and no one is going to investigate the my down atrocities was up a brewster. there's a cause. i stood outside rushes for admin. if you hear where the press conference or with brushes, foreign minister said oliver wrapped up a few hours ago and it did go on for quite a few hours. because leverage, as you heard, they're pulling no punches over the worst in the u. s. and situate the 10 situation around ukraine at the moment. and now the presser came at an important time, of course, as regards the situation in ukraine, as talks with nato, and talked to the u. s. in geneva, and in brussels earlier this week, let's you, pretty much a dead end. the us not bending on moscow's demands to provide security, or when guarantees over that situation with ukraine. of course,

the question on everyone's lips has been whether there will be a so called a invasion in ukraine or by russia. of course, the worst accusing russia and strengthening his forces on the border and ukraine as nato expands eastward. russia says it has every right to defend its borders. now that question was raised at the very start of the press conference, and we can get circ a lab rose, answer to it right here. american nato seem to have made it very clear. they're not going to, it's a give you the security guarantee. if you don't get the guarantees you've said that you need, that there will be a military response. what does a military response actually mean? could you, could you lay that out? are you ready to use military force to ensure that ukraine never joins major? that's just mccarthy. now only western colleagues, guess using tea leaves, they mediately grab the sanctions baton as we are for everything being decided on

the basis of mutual respect. and a balance of interest is the position of russia presented by nato is based precisely on the balance of interest and is aimed at the security of europe as a whole, including russia. nato wants to create military footholds around the russian federation to dominate urine. and so we are deal now lover, i've also said that even if ukraine isn't dragged into nato as it were, any appearance of nato forces on his borders will be seen as a will constitute a red line. of course, red lines was a buzz words for the geopolitical situation. in the past few months. he said that is not acceptable. russia will not accept that. neither will it accept us building military bases or placing a strike missiles anywhere in a sea of as of that also constitutes a red line. he outlines those red lines in the press conference and we can hear just how they constitute a red line for russia in this graph. here, me, oh,

good to go. dish q. you put a u m. we categorically do not accept the appearance of nato on our borders upland . it's a red line. they know it. even if ukraine remains outside nato, there is still a possibility of ukraine in agreement with the u. s. the u. k. and other western countries that a building military facilities and bases on the see of as of there, this is also an acceptable to us for us. this is another red line. now the folks over the past week have also said as a marker of the tensions between us and russia. of course, the u. s. are not bending on any of russia's demands. it seems as i also was lucky enough to ask a sec, i love rob about the words of the u. s. secretary of state, anthony lincoln, who said that all president putin has done in the past 2 years or so is a to facilitate what he wanted to present or prevents or rather,

and those are kind of strong words from the us size. oliver said that really isn't the case, said he was surprised at those words by blinking gossip. latasha anthony b. u. s. secretary of state blinking argues that what present putting has done over the past couple of years has only speeded up everything that wouldn't would like to prevent on which basis does blink and make such comments. do you think we present putting putin has been devoting all the last years to strengthen russian sovereignty, which is constantly under attack by the west. those are attacks on all fronts. direct military to terrance information attack, soft power mechanism. and others is a shame that someone thinks that russia is in the pocket of the west. much of what is being said, today's connected with escalating tensions around the russian federation. does you see that sig, i love any press office today, pulling absolutely no punches. as regards the west and nato, he's pulled out the hypocrisy, nate, so reporting to standup full human rights. however, then supporting

a bloody cruise and pull the revolutions as it were. as regards what happened in ukraine, and just instead of calling it acute, pulling it instead a diplomatic processor. but he also said he said to the west, now it's up to the us. he has written to washington as regards those guarantees on safety and security and isn't to them now the pool is very much in the u. s. school to find a peaceful resolution to little. now another story we're across to day, the cia is reported to help in training, ukrainian special operations teams and mid tensions with russia. the program is believed to have launch 6 years ago. ortiz don quarter can tell us more about the revelations. according to a recent yahoo news article, basically the cia is training ukrainian special forces units on american soil. and this is to fight in case of an apparent russian invasion of ukraine. again, we said many times in this channel. moscow has said many times this is basically

just nonsense, but nevertheless, ukrainian troops are apparently getting some state of the art training from the you know, you, us government. the program has involve very specific training on skills that would enhance the ukrainians ability to push back against the russians. said the former senior intelligence official, us base ca program has included training and firearms camouflage techniques, land navigation tactics like cover and move intelligence and other areas. yahoo news of course was not specific about the actual names, but it says that 5 former intelligence and national security officials pass this information along to them. apparently these training programs involve camouflage exercises, land navigation exercises and the like. but all the while washington, the saying that these are not offensively oriented exercises, us officials claim that they're just centered around intelligence gathering us officials deny that the ca, training program is war, was ever offensively oriented. but just what intelligence support entails in the

paramilitary contexts can be ambiguous and how this training will be applied by the ukrainians may change rapidly with facts on the ground. now what is exactly intelligence gathering mean? i mean, well, in the context of power, military operations, we don't really know because we don't know what these ukranian special forces are going to be doing with the training they've received on american soil in the future . we at least know that the u. s. military advisors were training ukrainians, ukrainian forces, specifically after the events of euro. my don in 2014, but that was all. busy on ukrainian soil, we also, we for marcia executive said that going back decades, the ca has provided limited training to ukrainian intelligence units to try and shore up, you know, and i suppose it independent kiev and prevent russian subversion as i saw it. but that cooperation specifically was ramped up after the crimea became a part of russia. now we did reach out to the cia and the defense,

the defense department of the united states for comments. so of course we'll bring our viewers any response. we get another a headline story today, a strictly as agreed to delay the deportation of tennis superstar nova ciocca bitch . it comes after the countries immigration minister on friday revoked his visa for a 2nd time to day. i exercised my power to cancel the visa held by mister novak joke of h on health and good order grounds on the basis that it was in the public interest to do so. oh, salia has again revoked the lodging. a pale, isn't it a late night co tearing, go straight home on the health and good order grounds. now his lawyers are all ready lodging a pail, isn't it? a late night, co tearing australia have agreed not to deport him just yet. if they do go ahead and to port him, of course he will face a 3 year ban on re entering the country. needless to say, it time is of the essence now is to 3 days until the australian open starts.

therefore jock of inches, sight of said, they want the full herring to take place on sunday morning, said that the result will be heard by monday morning and time if will good. the duke of h to stop competing in this tournament said there is a glimmer of hope that that it's really been nonstop drama since ciocca, which landed on australian soil on the 6th of january. his visa was revoked to upon arrival it few days later, it was then reinstated. but since then, questions had been raised about how he flouted isolation while he was covey, positive and also inaccuracies on his travel form. he's put all of these things down to human error. my agent sincerely apologizes for the administrative mistake and ticking the incorrect box about my previous travel before coming to australia. this was a human error and certainly not deliberate. the house saw guys divided opinion across the world for his fans. of course a, it's a different story. this, that is so angry at the unprecedented nature of australia's decision and also so

upset that they see the apparent encroachment of politics into sports. we actually spoke to a few people, some of novak jock of it, his fellow serves on the streets of bow grade to get their opinion of all i am revolted and angry because i did not expect they would treat the world's best tennis player like this. but he did not deserve this is or was there. so i'm all with nobody's going through is the frustration of our entire nation disorder. or if they had said from the beginning that only vaccinated people can participate, it would be all right, look. but at one point they tell him one thing, another time, something else. i just the funny thing. this is pure politics. the issue here are the principles we live for. at least us european freedom, fraternity and quality for you. i think it's fair to say we might also see angus spill out onto the streets of melbourne once the gang just like it did after his visa was revoked for the 1st time. ah.

so what's next for? no joke of h y, which is going to have to wait and see, but this just couldn't have come at a worse time for him. this is australian open represents the pinnacle of his career . if he came out on top that this australian open, it would mark his 10th consecutive when making him the greatest a male tennis star of old times. i'm needless to say, a lot of stake here. the father of the tennessee says slum the treatment of his sultan by come breath seeing exclusively to warranty that the attempt to counsel the world. number one is visa was politically motivated. you can tell of into the likelihood of the, raining 3 in a row australian open chump, getting to defend his crown. over at ortiz, joe biden's week has gone from bad to worse after seeing his plan for

a mandatory vaccine shop done by the supreme court. the u. s. president was then hoping to change voting rules in the senate and push through some key bills, but that has been derailed by members of his own party. last cross live now to ortiz, kill my pin in new york for more. caleb, so it's internal party issues now causing a headache for by sure the biden administration is down dealing with the fact that at this point we have one of their own party stepping up, cursed and cinema. stepping up a senator from arizona saying that she will not vote to change the senate rules and enable the repub, republican opposed bill that is going to extend voting rights according to the democrats intended to protect the rights of voters. ah, she's not going to vote to change the senate rules now or some cinema. she did say that she opposes the republican legislation around the country and she favors of,

you know, protecting the rights of voters as me. joe biden bill intends to do, but she's not ok with changing the st rules in order to do it. this is what she said. well, where does this descending spiral of division lead and how can we stop it? our country's divisions have now fueled efforts and several states that will make it more difficult for americans to vote and undermine faith that all american should have in our elections in our democracy. these bills help treat the symptoms of the disease that they do not fully address the disease itself. and while i continue to support these bills, i will not support separate actions that were sent the underlying disease of division infecting our country. now this refers to the filibuster, which is a rule in the us senate that enables the minority party to block legislation by

refusing to close debate. essentially, they continue to have the minority party speak and continue to make remarks until, until the opposition is able to stop the bill. it's a way of just kind of prolonging the proceedings, preventing the vote and preventing the bill from passing its been used throughout us history for various causes and by various parties, the democrat and the republicans both use the filibuster, tactic at different points to stop legislation when they were the minority party. now at this point we have the white house stepping up and accepting defeat on this . this is what we heard from joe biden. the honest to god answer is, i don't know whether we can get this done. as long as i'm in the white house, as long as i'm engaged at all, i'm going to be friday to change the way these legislatures have movie. so kirsten cinema is refusing to enable the democrats to overrule the filibuster in order to

pass the bill. now it's quite interesting because joe biden, at one point, was on record saying that he was strongly in favor of keeping the filibuster as a nest necessary check on the majority party's power. this is joe biden, under a previous administration. this nuclear option is ultimately an example of the arrogance of power. it is a fundamental power grab by the majority party. now it's also important to note that stacy abram say, rising star of the democratic party is not going to be seen with joe biden. add an upcoming event in her state of georgia. this lead m s n b c. and some of their commentators to speculate about what this might mean. politicians don't show up with presidents when their approval ratings may be in the thirty's, in the say we're the or, and there's another reason. so at this point, we're seeing the biden administration continued have its poll numbers drop,

it's becoming less and less popular. and now we see members of the democratic party increasingly di, railing, efforts led by the white house. this is just the latest example. ah, but we saw the supreme court overturning jo biden's vaccine mandates. i. we've seen other moves, joe biden. it seemed came into office promising that he was going to fix many of the problems that he blamed on the previous administration and restore the unity of the country. however, if you look at the results over the past year, that is not exactly panned out. taken us through that story ortiz kill him up and live from new york. it's the lad in the program. emerick is in the grip of a supply chain. prices with super mark is running out of goods. the president biden says old austria edge working

it really is happening here in al dante al salvatore. then to be known globally as the home of big coin city, and that we're witnessing the demise of gold as the monetary demonization. thank place ah ah

ah ah hello again, american consumers are feeling the pain with inflation of its highest and a generation on supermarket shelves. busy emptying i'd, as kobe disrupt supply chains. president biden insist it's all part of a global problem, but republicans are pointing the finger squirrely out his administration. under joe biden. everything costs more, store shelves are empty, and small businesses are struggling to hire workers and stay open. this trend is in transitory and it's all happening under democrats. one party control dis rental shoppers are also blaming the president, boasting images of empty supermarket isles, under the hush tug bearer shelves biden. the american leader recently, claim supply chain problems are actually being solved. so our colleagues in our

t america went to take a look and the area that we're finding with shelves are empty of beef, chicken, eggs, fruit and vegetables, even non perishable items, difficult to find and some grocery stores. now in a normal year, 5 to 10 percent of food items may be unavailable. today, nearly 15 percent are out of stock. that according to jeff freeman, president and ceo of the consumer brands association and officials say things may not get better for the next 12 to 18 months. now there are many reasons for this, including an increased demand for groceries with families choosing to eat at home during the omicron serge. as we saw here in dc metro area last week, winter storms have effected major interstate. and a shortage of as many as $80000.00 truck drivers are out nationwide. that's a historic high,

according to the american trucking association. and because of this export say to expect price hikes and food shortage is similar to what we saw in 2020. now here's what you're seeing. as a result on tuesday, wal mart kroger, and albert's in stocks did albertson's, taking the biggest, indicating a trend among major grocers being affected by those supply chain issues. also, these trips to the grocery store are costing shoppers even more with inflation rates soaring to 7 percent for the 1st time and for decades. now, with the united states seeing more than 700000 cases of coven 19 per day on average during this whole micron serge, it's slowing down food manufacturers and causing grocery store workers to call out sick. and we heard reports from companies talking about. they had more positive tests in the past 2 weeks when they had in all of 2020. those wasn't text tests or taking people off the front lines. it's forcing companies to shut down, manufacturing, launch preemptively. and it's leading to just simply not enough supply. experts say

that things may not read normal and till staffing levels are restored. and demick, let's up in the global food distribution network is restored. well, let's keep attention state side with the army constraints sweeping america, fewer people are donating blood. there's been such a decline of the country's red cross as they cleared its 1st ever blood crisis. it said there is no less than one day supply. we spoke to one of their specialists in washington. red cross supplies, 40 percent of the nation's blood, and we typically strive to keep a 5 day blood supply on hand at all times what we've been experiencing as it relates to this current blur crisis is that we've had less than a one day supply of critical blood products in recent weeks. so that's what distinguishes this particular blood shortage in terms of capacity,

blood cannot be, may factored or stuck out every 2 seconds. some wine in the with needs blood m, as doctors are being forced to make difficult decisions about who receives transfusions and who will need to wait until more products become available. so calvin is definitely a factor in terms of the blood supply. and as we're seeing a 3rd in co, 19 variants that impacts the ability for donors to be able to give as you have to be feeling well and, and of course not symptomatic. this situation will continue to become more dire and ongoing. and it will impact patient care tremendously the u. n. world food program is warning of a tsunami of hunger enough gellis, half of the population has been struggling to obtain food this winter. the

situation is seemingly being made worse by sanctions. things have gotten so bad for some they've resorted to selling their organs. ah, can man $2300.00 equals the price of the kidney or how long that will feed a family is unclear. i couldn't go out and beg for money. i was not able to back then i decided to go to the hospital and sell my kidney. so i could at least feed my children or some time a welcome to modern afghanistan, where the organ trade is flourishing. amidst a dire economic crisis, 99 percent of the don't is selling kidney to the people encountering economic problems and only one percent of donors of the ones who donate that kidney to a family member. it needed to most donors come from poor families and may not be aware of the consequences. plus the deaths won't go away by themselves.

most of people leave the country, fearing for their lives, but some also leave in search of jobs. and when those people cannot make it to other countries, they come back home and they have to pay the money they had borrowed for their travel coast. and to do that, they sell their household belongings or sell their kidneys and some people even decide to sell their children's young now passed off for the shock. the chaotic us nato withdrawal and the taliban takeover pushed afghanistan into financial chaos. subsequently aggravated when the west froze afghan assets abroad. and when foreign funding was suspended, the un is now launching a $5000000000.00 a de pale. this is a stop get an absolutely essential stock up measure that we are putting in front of the church. richard bay, without this being funded, there won't be a future. we need this to be done, otherwise they will. they will be outflow. there will be suffering for those who

have sold their organs. the suffering has already known the bear. the teachers in france are hoping the government learns a lesson over constantly changing cobra rules. the educators hoping staging protests since the beginning of the new term causing major disruption in schools. charlotte to ben ski picked up a story for us, described as the biggest protest in almost 20 years. france, so hundreds of schools up and down the country closed off the teachers and other education stuff took to the streets in anger. ah ah,

tens of thousands of for testers said that they were fed up and cooled 4 times up on a government that they feelies out of touch with the reality on the ground. the strike was motivated by the major disruption in school since they reopened at the start of the year. around 10000 classes have been closed due to co infections. long queues outside pharmacies have played into this anger with parents and children needing tests to keep up with requirements. for pupils when a classmate has tested positive children as young as 6 are now required to wear mosque in lessons. there is, i'm go over the constant changing a rule surrounding schools when you get there have been for protocols since december 30, which means that the government does not know where it is going. it is sailing on side. it's only objective was for the school to reopen, so that parents would be able to go to work. but the government was unprepared and disorganized, with

a disregard for the health risk for the teachers who were not even given f, f, p to mass. while they are on the frontline union, se schools have been left acting as a form of test and trace manages, and that the government has followed an approach that provides inadequate protection against infection for staff and students alike. and as those criticisms intensify, new measures just been announced by the french education minister in a bid to ease the tensions once his son communion must 5000000 f. f. p. 2 mosques will be distributed in schools to meet demand on the clinic on, on our colleagues or farrah, the education minister's rules do nothing to protect teachers. almost 10 percent of high school students are infected. could it be, there are no means of production of all except for opening windows in the middle of winter. uncle dan, it's impossible to conduct lessons in the freezing, colder. and william, we don't have the basic conditions to teach that either. he also outlined plans to

hire more people to replace those teachers who cannot go into work, but the jury is out. not so though, on another file, face mosques being worn on the streets of paris, a mandate from the authorities as positive cases of coverage surge after the festive period. but an administrative tribunal suspended that order. and it's not the only court to take a stance on wednesday, a courtney of our sy deemed that mandate excessive and disproportionate and inappropriate fringed moment of personal freedom. all of this is likely to cause a headache for the mack on administration as it struggles to control new waves of the pandemic inch day bringing new condemnation of its management with just weeks now before the 2022 presidential elections. charlotte, even ski ot amsterdam, global smoking numbers are done and having

a cigarette is prohibited, as you know, in most public.
