ah, ah, breaking news on our see this our, i'm suspect 2 is taken people hostage at the synagogue in the u. s. state of texas releases one person according to the official media report. i think police force the state that the host, the say can maybe motivate that to free a pakistani prisoner don't encounter terrorism circles as lady al qaeda family, though, denies any links to the attacker. moscow slums, washington for alleging the bushes, preparing a whole like operation to justify its suppose that ukraine invasion plans are guess side of the chances of military conflict need. so in supplement was always going to waste tensions we have here in ukraine. the plan to miss out 5 minutes from moscow . b question is how do you, how to deal with also in the program the leader of the indigenous

shoshone nation. he felt that the, about the devastating impact of nuclear bomb test on land belonging to native americans. even a legend, the aim was to eliminate his people. and these things were conducted without our knowledge and under a culture of secrecy, of the united states. and there it is, the intent to commit genocide from moscow to the world you're watching r t international life. my name's peter scott and welcome to the program. we start with the developing story coming out of the u. s. states at texas a suspected good man who has been holding people hostage in a synagogue for over 6 hours in the northwest to the states has released one of them according to officials. please say the man is unharmed and the state governors say 3 others remain captive. a small team has been sent to the seen,

a nearby residence, evacuated to safety. now there was a live stream of the service at the synagogue running when the arm suspect entered an apparently negotiations with police could be heard. lima. oh, yes. oh yes. well in that audio clip, the suspect can be heard referring to his sister. this led to reports that he is the brother of a pakistani neuro sciences, who is now serving 86 years for attempting to kill us military personnel. the prisoners legal council, however, has reject said that in a statement saying her biological brother was not in the area ortiz, kellen morphine has more on that. i see hostage situation. he walked in to the saturday service at the synagogue and interrupted the proceedings. and at this point, he has said, if anyone tries to enter the building,

everyone will die. he has also said that he believes he will die. today, we understand the hostage taker is calling for the freedom of office, the dc office. the dc is a pakistani neuro scientist who was extradited, the states and charged and convicted for conspiring to kill americans currently serving 86 years in federal prison labeled lady al qaeda by terrorism analyst and others in the united states. now there were initially some reports that it was mohammed, dicky was the hostage taker, but now his lawyers have come forward and confirmed it is not mohammed city. he, it is someone else calling for the freedom of office. the dc, he apparently refers to obvious a dp as his sister. he was repeatedly referred to obvious dicky and his statement as my sister. but that is, that is not a literal sense. it's, i guess perhaps in the religious or philosophical sense. now we also understand that the f b, i is on the scene and negotiating the situation,

trying to negotiate the release of the hostages. at this point, there haven't been any shots fired, but law enforcement. the scene is urging people to stay away from the area because it is a very tense situation who has been going on for several hours and it's not clear what will happen. we have seen a statement go out just recently from the council of american islamic relations, calling this an act of evil and unequivocally condemning what this individual has done. saying this is an attack on a house of worship that goes completely against their principles. and we've seen many figures in the muslim community immediately denounced this activity. there are questions about who he is, is he, in fact pakistani as was initially reported, he does have apparently have a british accent. and he is an ongoing negotiation. there was live streaming of those negotiations from the synagogue. that live stream has been cut off. so it is not clear exactly exactly what is happening right now. we will be giving you more

developments as this situation continues, a very 10th saying the could and very badly, but many are looking on and hoping that some kind of peaceful resolution is arranged. in the news, moscow has slammed us allegations that rushes preparing a false flag operation in ukraine. american media unofficial is claim the kremlin, has pre positioned a group of sub it says, who will create a pretext for invasion, neil harvey and nikki, are and discussed what the russian embassy in the u. s. is branded washington's old tricks. such rhetoric confirms there is an ongoing information campaign being waged against russia. we see the same scenario being repeated again and again. first, some sensational story is dropped and makes the headlines and then it becomes a key talking point. such both claims, say coming from the us there, and the only intelligence on offer are these elusive source is the allegations were fetch reported by cnn and swiftly echoed by ukrainian and

u. s. officials. we've information that indicates rush has already pre positioned a group of operatives to conduct a false flag operation in eastern ukraine. the operatives are trained and urban warfare and in using explosives to carry out acts of sabotage against russia's own proxy forces. and the russian military plans to begin these activities several weeks before military invasion, which could begin between mid january and mid february. so not the time frame mentioned that between mid january and mid february, the claims are the president. putin's window for invasion is dictated by temperatures. basically he needs a layer of ice on the ground so that he's heavy hardware like tanks can roll across the border right now is too mild for an invasion by march. it would be too muddy. so apparently president biden as allegedly hide meteorologists to, you know, give them a full cost basically about when this invasion might take place. now, how seriously people are a taken these claims week, which i don't know, but the old familiar headlines. russia plans and invasion of ukraine in fights,

russia, planning and invasion of anywhere has become so common, especially over the past year in f springs 2021. we saw the headline screaming putin threatens war again. that software, they started military drills on the board that they were more warnings and december with both the west and ukraine. so certain that the invasion would take place in december. and yet here we are still no invasion, so we're still coming from both sides. of course, you know, it's like any story that we have a cover here in the news. you can look at it from, from both perspectives and one can look aggressive. one could look defense it, which is what russia says it is, you know, what troops are on our territory from the outside though. the accusation is this is basically a massing of troops ready for him. an invasion. how was moscow defended its position on those? how's it tried to kind of calm what seemed to be growing concerns from, from the wider community? moscow has it repeatedly talked about, hit its red lines. those being the further eastward expansion of nato l. the

deployment of nato bay says right at the border where the russia, we've just concluded that week long talks, that diplomacy talks between nato and russia. no progress has been made. ne, so is unwilling to compromise. it's that it won't provide any assurances to russia on any of these points and even taunting rusher as well in a way by saying, well, ukraine is going to join nato. it's a done deal. it's just a matter of when i reason reports not bring it ain't bringing any sense of security or piece it to russia off the yahoo investigation found that the cia is secretly training. ukrainian special locks on american solan has been doing so since 2015. 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, the u. s. bay cia program is included training and firearms, camouflaged leaks, lot navigation tactics like cover and move intelligence and other areas of

washington has reported. it claimed it solely aimed at defense. the given the nature of the training in the plenty of questions arising, which we have already addressed to the u. s. will thirty's ourselves all in all for the russian position on all the development of the russian foreign minister. i love ravi held his annual press conference yesterday and in answering all the questions there are really including on the western phase of an invasion. good, let's just look a huge now, as soon as our western colleagues guess by reading tea leaves, they immediately grab the sanctions baton. we are for everything being decided on the basis of mutual respect and the balance of interests. the position of russia presented to nato is based precisely on the balance of interests and is aimed at the security of europe as a whole, including russia, as well. nater wants to create military footholds around the russian federation to dominate europe. russia has never and nowhere threatened the ukrainian people and kia makes direct threats to us. so a week ago,

as nato in russian delegates prepared to embark on the days of talks, expectations were already low for a positive outcome. now we can see a week's worth of diplomacy is clearly failed with the situation now feeling so much more tense than it was before. well, earlier our guest shoot over whether the current tensions really do have the potential to escalate into a full scale war. whatever the rights and wrongs of the situation, but damaged europeans curacy, not me. the risk of war, which itself is huge, but also the capability of these states to cooperate, to tackle the existential risks, but faced the world. how can people see negotiating, blast around climate change when they're about to go to war against each other? we should also remember something else. georgia did launch a war with russia, you know, and it was backed up by america. and britain essentially didn't know to intervene and we have seen in recent weeks in the black sea, american,

british and french warships involve the naval movers and going both to ukraine and to georgia. that would seem to me quite provocative in the current situation of american and british american ships entering as well. russia now, what russia waters that is a major propagation. well, if you think about the iraq war and the excuse iraq war being the cell was saying that we saw potentially 45 minutes from london. we have here in creating the plans of b, miss all 5 minutes from moscow, 7 minutes from russian strategic nuclear defense is in effect. russia will have a knife to throw and not enough time to recover if it allows these in russia. we'll have to stop those missiles coming in. this is a cuban missile crisis, so they could end differently from that one. if we don't look at this very carefully, the other of this is the idea that ukraine, if nato wanted to, part of nato actually became involved nato because that was in effect and you,

crane and the ability to launch an international wall on the hall with an interest and ok, kevin, who teaches are completely irresponsible on this question. so that would be another might move in this strategy coming from a jo biden's administration. i think if there's anything positive that has come out of this crisis, it is the west will recognize that it can't get away scott free by bring you crying in tonight. it would be awfully hard for them to do say so. and so it was always going to weeks to tensions one sure natal course is in the baltic states. once you update, of course, it's important to check back elsewhere the positive in georgia in the black sea. once you have that revised russian feels. and as i say, you don't find applied to a person to understand what those feel given russian's most recent history, given what happened in the 2nd world war, i'm just going to say it's clear that there is

a process of regime change across the world wherever there is governments, we don't fit with the neo liberal law, denila florida, which is control the same story by united states, the gas, et cetera, etc, etc. we will always bring down any government or trying to bring down any government which doesn't correspond to those interests or don't disagree with. chris is saying. but i also think, but we need to feel about just sliding into just a confrontational approach towards the sorts of interest and, and, and development. because because they, because they are incredibly powerful. and the big question, the all of us, whether we off commentators in the west or the russian government or anybody else is how do you, how do you deal with a bully? and the way of dealing with a bully is not just to face up to them and, and then get smashed in. you, you have to deal with it very cleverly and you have to try and build relationships,

some positive connection. i'm the way in which page has managed to do that in the past with england and some other european governments to some limited success has been a try to be valuable. and important thing that is vitally important for the future of the planet is that russia is included in a new security architecture. you can have a new, secure wave in an old one with russia labeled as the enemy, with the ukraine. massey harvest is supposed to russian border as it can without any commentary from the western media and nature, politicians, referring to russia as the enemy. you cannot have stability the russia. of course, the sees itself as the victim aware. this is heading. it has to be included in security architecture, otherwise there's no security, but anybody. meanwhile, the u foreign affairs, chief, joseph bol, had said the fate of a key bush and just pipeline to europe could depend on what happens they'll be. ukraine will have more enough story just a little later in the program in a massive fire has of

ropes in the chemical plants in for psych, new jersey, leading to warnings about air quality in the region. at least one firefighter has been injured. all sorts you say they've now managed to contain the fire. after buckling the flames throughout the night, locals were told to stay away from the area and remain in doors with their windows closed. it's still unclear what caused the blaze. what large quantities of chlorine pillars are stored at the sides and the concern over toxic smoke? this is one of the videos of the fire this being posted on line, besides as a city of around 70000 people and is located about 20 kilometers from new york. well, thirty's of want people they might see or smell smoke from the fire sustainability and green technology expert. sharon george thinks the bigger picture of the potential fallout is yet to be seen. i think everybody is right now relieved that this is back under control. if that chemical store had been great,

there would be looking at the chemical that we did most concerned back to the chlorine match. and that will then change the nature of our fire and the smoke and pollution of rooms from that side to the problem. the fire like this is it's not just the scientist, so you've got things being thrown up into the air and strainer, pinch downstream being disbursed, and that's where you have a problem. so this is why, you know, this is, it is serious and you know, any pollution, any chemical, especially where you have population density is like that will be of concern and you know, don't be throwing resources or finding out and quantifying exactly what, what that risk is and now for a story that we believe is important to highlights for years us can don't said nuclear tests on land, there was populated by native americans r t a spoken to the current head of the western shoshone tribe. and he told us,

one of the many consequences is the impacts on people's health. the most bombed nation on us, the label claimed by the shoshone native american tribe, as a sacred lamb, turned into a u. s. nuclear weapons testing site. and these things were conducted without our knowledge and under a culture of secrecy, of the united states. and there in is the intent to commit genocide because these things were developed without our consent. the weapons are tested upon us, and there are test series with specific goals to expose humans to radiation, and we are the victims of that. it all started with the $1863.00 treaty a ruby valley. when the western shoshone handed certain rights to the us. but did not see the land these and friendships shall be hereafter established and maintained between the western bands of the shoshone nation and the people in governments of the united states. and the said ban,

stipulate and agree that has duties and all depredations shall cease from 1951 to 1990 to the u. s. conducted 928. tests that 828 underground nuclear tests and 100 atmospheric this resulted in fall out of around 620 killer tons. the comparison hiroshi my only had 15 killer tons in 1945. all that had devastating effects on tribal residents. we began to investigate health consequences from exposure to radiation, to try to understand what had happened to us. we had a significantly higher exposure to the radiation that led to those health consequences such as cancer's leukemias, auto immune deficiencies. and what we began to understand is that there is a wide variety of illnesses, really strange illnesses known to be plausible from exposure to radiation, but we weren't getting any help. we were not getting any support. he says the she

showed he never agreed to nuclear weapon testing. finding justice isn't tough road . that's the show any people are on their road. so we really need to continue to investigate and understand this, but we're not getting any help from the united states. they're not investigating this because they're the perpetrators love these of acts which are destroying the shoshone people. disgustingly shameful that us politicians, the president and the court. they don't talk about these issues. what we began to understand is that we're experiencing a after wave of assault. i feel that this is what nazis did in world war 2. ah, well, those nuclear tests are just one of a number of hardships, the western shoshone, of how to enjoy. to delve deeper into that, you can watch our interview with their leader in full over its

r t dot com. the u. s. states of utah is being accused of having braces, policies against white people, for giving so called priority points to minority communities. when it comes to eligibility for koby treatments, now the states of minnesota did have similar guidelines, but is now removed advice to take race into account. both states have been threatened with legal action using the patient's skin color or if nifty, rather than the unique and specific medical circumstances of an individual patient as a basis for deciding who should obtain lifesaving medical treatment as a part in a ton of crisis. tough decisions have to be made. sometimes, decisions of life and death. the covered pandemic is one such time and who to prioritize for life saving medical treatment is a decision health workers have to make. now you may think that choices are taken based on greater health risk or the needs of the patient. perhaps the raise, your fragility,

their co morbidities and chronic illnesses. race may be the last thing on your mind . apparently, you may be wrong. think your liberal a kidney disease is a high risk? think again, your heart problem or neurological illness will only lead you one points on this scale. so will your shortness of breath. but you could get double points based on your ethnic background. the you saw department of health explain the system using statistics, which show people of non white or hispanic committee, a 35 to 50 percent more likely to be hospitalized than white patients, which means at 1st, the system does sound logical and truly studies have shown ethnic minorities, both in the united states. some other countries have been in this proportionately affected by covert. the reasons multiple and complex, but the analysis goes deeper, while more people in ethnic minority communities may be diagnosed. there appear to

be no differences in final health outcomes and critic say, therefore, no reason to prioritize treatment. the risk of sa covey to diagnosis was higher in most ethnic minorities. but once hospitalized nuclear inequality is exist in coven 1900 outcomes. the findings highlight the necessity to tackle disparities in social determinants of health, preventative opportunities and in house case across the ocean in the u. k. statistics have shown a civil, a pattern of high impact on minority communities, but govern reports have also cited specific reasons why this could be the case. these range from someone's occupation to the household size or even place of residence and pollution. in theory, you could fall into these higher risk groups, but not be a minority and achieve a lower score in the table. so unless we assume by default, but all members of ethnic minorities, labor,

other crowd of households in the private areas and work in high risk sectors. critics say the focus should be on concrete risk factors and not simply skin color . and advocacy groups have been quick to pick up on the controller, say, these racist policies decide questions of life and death based on skin color and must be rescinded immediately. it's an abomination the radically violate federal law. the united states constitution and the sacred principle of equal justice for our, despite increasingly harsh measures wave off the wave of kobe, it continues to affect the world. many specialists say targeted measures are needed to protect those in the population most at risk. and just how those population groups are determined based on rational scientific study, may be part of the puzzle in ending the pandemic. there is no scientific basis to judge a person's need for medicine or higher is just based on race.

there are many, many other factors with quality you live in. houses are multiple occupation. many people, small houses, and you do jobs are high this category such as hooks cleaners, bus drivers. furthermore, there are then medical conditions and medical conditions are such as diabetes, immune suppression, heart disease, kidney disease, or be city high blood pressure cause a lot of immigrants tend to be of what you would call darker skin and they are also whole. and they're also working in high risk. so be that you are white or color as they call it in america. it is, it is quality that kills not necessarily the color of your skin. the face of a key russian gas pipeline to europe still hangs in the balance despite construction

of no stream to being completed last year. it's still not being given the final go ahead by the you and the blocks foreign affairs. she says that could depend on moscow, deescalate intentions on ukraine's border. legal mission could have been easy to choose, cannot beat that from one legion infrastructure. according to the support was ruled . we are in a free market economy and certainly if functioning does infrastructure, we'd also depend on the development of the events and ukraine, and the attitude to russia. you cannot imagine that we are thinking one side on imposing sanctions just in case and on the other 2 over and infrastructure. meanwhile, in the u. s. republican senator ted cruz made his own bid to stop the pipeline this week. he put forward a bill to sanction businesses involved in the projects if russia invades ukraine.

however, the senate voted against the move on thursday. although the democrats have now put forward and alternative bill, which would targets key russian officials instead. meanwhile, skyrockets in energy prices continue to be a major concern in europe. on wednesday, the swedish government said it would allocate almost $700000000.00 in order to help citizens. those his hardest by the surging prices could get up to $220.00 a month to pay the bills of a winter electricity costs in the country are more than 250 percent compared to last year. and on the fates of north street. 2, we've been getting reaction, including from economist acre, hama, everybody knows that the pipeline will be used, because it's not only useful, it's essential for germany's and europe's energy supply. these are all games in before that the main partnerships are negotiation which adjusting us

and russia and all the others are neglectful in this matter. are trying to get a big deal out of the big business ruling the day. and they don't care at all on the, on the necessary piece of the german population of the russian public of the eurasian population. they don't care at all. they want to make big money and they don't even would risk a war. and just before we go, a quick recap of the hostage crisis. an arm suspect has taken hostage is doing a service at the synagogue and texas police released a statement, confirming one man has been released on harmed both according to the texas governor, 3 of the still remain captive. the identity of the socket has not yet been disclosed by police media report fighting police source to say the can may have been motivated to free. a prisoner dubbed lady alca eda, receiving 8686 years for attempted murder,

the legal counsel for the prisoner released the statement denouncing the attack and any link to it. a swat team is on the scene along with the f b i. as always, it will be keeping across the story. i will bring you any updates and when we get them well, that's all for now for me peter scott's, but i'll be back again. it's 7 o'clock most time again with any developments formed out of the situation in ah, i ah, who's

to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms. race is often 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 ah with

mm. welcome to was a for joe, almost a decade in confinement. julianna's sanchez is a shadow of the men who used to be fighting against extradition. requests to be united states has taking a toll on his physical and mental health, while also compromising. we can ability to continue its operation with only this ruling by british or to hand him over to washington. what's in store? one of the world's most recognized whistleblowers. to discuss that now and join by reg barnes had an australian lawyer and an adviser to doing the sanchez australian campaign. mr. barnes and read to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. my pleasure. now let me start from afar. a few weeks ago the european parliament awarded its supper of price and.
