ethan special interests remain very powerful. are they a threat to demolish? ah, the headlines this i britain is counseling vaccine, passports in the parent bid by boris johnson to save his reputation after the part and scandal, or service. i went, the media ramp up rhetoric over russia, supposedly planning to invade crane a claim that moscow has consistently denied, and the midwife in the us is furious of the word mother is banned from her profession. as pressure grows for health care workers to use gender neutral language. ah, good afternoon, just gone 5 o'clock in moscow. you're watching archie international. now, as the british prime minister faces a backlash, including from his own party over, allegedly flouting, locked am ruled by hosting parties. bars,

johnson says he's now canceling coded passports and mass mandates for public paces . and he says, the corona virus is no longer any more dangerous than the flu. on monday, we reduced the isolation $3.00 to $5.00 full days with 2 negative tests. and it will soon come a time where we can remove the legal requirement to so quite make, altogether justice we don't place legal obligations on people to isolate. if they have flu, i will ask that i just know from london and our correspond and their shady, 8 mustache the who's outside of parliament and shouted a burst johnson under a lot of pressure there today. but has he done enough to sort of sold the crisis and he was a well, and perhaps an attempt to distract from all of these darling st party allegations for, as johnson has just announced, an end to all closed good restrictions, adding throughs, mandatory face, mastering, working from home guidance out,

of course, the vaccine, passports will certificate, they will all be as scrapped from it next week. now you'd think that boris johnson wouldn't be able to get into deep water over something like that. but it has now emerged that boris johnson back in 2020. when he himself was displaying cove with symptoms coughing about the place, while he in fact refused to self isolate, claiming he was strong like a bull. but that's not all the allegations of the day. in fact, numerous ones of these downing street parties continue to come this week was all supposed to be about operations, save big dog. but it turns out, of course, johnson is all turning into a bit of a dog's dinner. this week. we've seen numerous members of parliament coming out to say that boris johnson's time is up and that was reiterated by many in the house of commons today. mister speaker, when a prime minister is spending his time trying to convince the great british public

that he's actually stupid, rather than disowning a prime minister to policy have shown themselves incapable of offering from leadership and government this country. just while we were sitting out plans to keep bills down, the was planning parties. while we were sitting out plans to save jobs in the steel industry. he was, he was trying to say, just one job. his own dawson, the country is up so much better than this, out of talk about it and soon to be out of office prime. it is of course, a care storm, or he hasn't got off scot free either as he was photographed drinking and eating in a constituency office. in durham during the pandemic, though, he has refused to apologize for that. he says he was simply having a bear with his dinner, and this is boris johnson's attempt to squirm out of his own political scandal

after scandal. obviously, this comes as the pressure is now mounting on board johnson, the prime minister to resign. but he could actually be 4 star. and now we know that yesterday around 20, tory m p 's they were discussing, they messed up to discuss for us johnson future. by the morning burse, johnson woke up to 10 of them publicly coming out, calling for him to resign in a, in the form of a letter of a vote of no confidence. now officially, the 922 committee needs 54 of those letters of votes of no confidence and rumor has it that under the surface, bubbling away, nanny, it tory mpg just about ready to publicly come forward. but still today or is johnson was trying to cling on to his survival i believe continuing to ask a series of questions which he knows will be fully address. oh, he's waiting. he's waiting new time. he's wasting people's time. this is because he

continues to be completely irrelevant to be delivered while they do that and we'd, we'd vaccinated. fascinated mississippi. well just as a side note, i do want to bring you one of the latest, astonishing move here in western. and so just minutes before promises question christian, a wait for the tory m p. elected back in 2019. he defected from the labor party. move meaning that he crossed over the house of commons flow from the tory party to the labor party. that's a pretty significant live here in westminster, but it comes as the last few months have been johnson known as the drunken party allegations. it seems to be the worst political hang over for boris johnson in history. but as we've had on a loop, almost like a broken record, not just from bars johnson himself, but many ministers. we await the investigation led by too great. we are expected to

see those conclusions potentially even as early as this week. and they could really be the final nail on the coffin so far as johnson. but some say, politically speaking, he's already a dead man walking. ok, fascinating. thanks to the update that was shot it at which dashti i've side parliament in the u. k. my west, the media are stepping up their attacks. moscow trumpeting what the criminal calls and substantiated warnings. rushes imminent invasion of ukraine. russian government has strenuously denied any move towards the conflict, but has laid out red lines against ne taste, each with expansion towards its borders. earlier and got more details from don quarter. over the past several months, hysteria surrounding up reported russian invasion of ukraine has spread across the west like wildfire, and to top it all off a number of media outlets. specifically, cnn are continuing to show reports proport accusing russia,

basically of provoking the conflict in don boss. russia is preparing what's known as a false flag operation to create a pretext for another invasion of ukraine in the view of american intelligence. that could be an impending attack of some kind on the current territory move up from the crimea and join all his territory up. so your buffer zone is bigger. one level up from that annex the whole of the coastline, uncut ukraine, off from the black sea. now, as you can see there, cnn even gave us a geography lesson claiming to prove why russia was intending to invade ukraine, apparently. but to be fair, though not everyone in the western media was failed to see this double double standard of accusing russia of some sort of aggression. well, actually, nato was arming a hostile government right on its doorstep. imagine if mexico fell under the direct military control of china, we would see that as a threat. of course. well, that's how russia views nato control. if you credit, why wouldn't that?

these accusations of m and an eminent invasion by russia, ukraine have been going around for several months now and time and time again. moscow has repeated that it is not planning any saw, any sort of invasion and that having its own troops within its own territory is not a threat to anyone. we stress, once again, russia is not going to attack in the practice of moving troops on our own soil is a sovereign right. recall for an end to the exterior, so as not to pile on tensions around the down this problem. and most importantly, not to push hotheads in key of towards new provocations. and it's also important to note that moscow has made it clear that it's trying to find a diplomatic solution to the de escalation of the conflict and ukraine. rushes made a number of proposals for security guarantees between itself and nato to prevent the further eastern expansion of the western military alliance. but unfortunately, washington has shot down those proposals as what they called nonstarter negotiating points. so there still is a lot of work to be done in the sphere of diplomacy here. what's interesting is

that just on wednesday, the u. s. secretary of state anthony blink and touch down in ukraine for talks for, to quote, deter russia from further aggression. and at the very same time and entire shipment of n law, anti tank missile systems from the u. k also touched down in the ukraine. so that might not seem like a very diplomatic move, but london says there are only intended for defensive purposes. i can today confirmed to the house that enlighten the increasingly threatening behavior from russia. and in addition to our current support, the u. k is providing a new security assistance package to increase ukraine's defensive capabilities. we have taken the decision to supply ukraine with light anti armor, defensive weapon systems. now the u. k says that these weapons are for defensive purposes, but it can't exactly control what he does with these weapons once it's in its own hands, right. and we're also seeing ukraine becoming much more dependent on western governments, both for armaments and military training. back in 2021. the u. s. also supplied

with a large array of javelle and anti tank weapon systems. the pentagon recently confirmed that us military advisors will be staying in ukraine and they have also been reports that ukrainian special forces are actually being trained to fight the russian military on us soil. that's something that was unprecedented. and this is all, while nato countries are actually reinforcing their military positions right, against the border of russia. so if you look at the overall picture, doesn't exactly seem like rushes, the aggressor here. ok, well let's get it. so it's not political on this chris boundary who joins this. chris, what's your take on this? lots of conflict, things that have narratives here. the big claim from west to major and politicians is that russia is going to invade russia those consistent. he said, that's not his plan. are we talking his theory here by western politicians in the press? i think we're talking a very coordinated campaign, bye. well, america, britain and other neutral powers and sections of the media award section of media.

portray this as somehow ukraine is a so democratic david standing up to russia, the are absolute is a goliath. that of course, is a narrow proceed which no one in the wes examines because you career ukraine government we should remember is a nationalist government, extreme nationalist government, right wing. and yet the west is arming this government in a situation where it says is a dangerous situation. about the u. k. is the fan section said tens of thousands will die if there was a war over ukraine. so that was something at the everyone wants to avoid. the russians are adamant that they are not going to going to invade, but you have war weapons been pumped into ukraine under the control, the government, which is actually capable of doing something quite requisite. and we have taken a wench other build up a bomb. so this, any accident that happens, any exchange of fire helicopters shut down, whatever it is accidentally can we to a conflagration. so i think we need to be urging people to step back and stop there

. so stop this rhetoric but also starts pumping arms into ukraine. it's, it's strange, isn't it? because the do thing to be mixed messages. nato who is said as much, is it saying that, you know, we're free to arm ukraine if we want to at the moment and nato countries that we also want a diplomatic solution. it just seems a strange way of going about it. this is very strange. we have glue and sibling can arrive as your package said, the same same as the u. k. these antea anti tank massage can come in. ah, act is very strange. here you go about it and i think we should remind ourselves as a guest for america, say, you know, the monroe doctrine in saw and in the south america means the united states is consistent. always historically said it has the right to intervene in any country in south america if it feels its interests of being or of trends and to exclude any other power from having any influence there. this was the rationale used in the cuban missile crisis. 1962,

and yet nato expansion rights of the borders of russia is somehow acceptable. you know, the weight of this natural expansion potentially into ukraine and georgia will bring back deep memories of 921. and what happened in the former soviet union during the 2nd our 2nd war, the russians understand that we do not want to be encircled, and that is what is happening. now. you don't have to be a supporter of latimer pearson to say neutral expansion is the danger you need to. expansion is what's causing the situation. we should step back why there were a lot since they by many, then to accept this argument from russia. when you would imagine many countries in europe should be concerned about this to i think that's a very interesting question. i think the united states it is, this is also a back story here is about discipline in germany. if you recall on diane to america for a long time, germany remain relatively independent,

maintained relatively good relations with white, pearson and russia. first one, economic interests, a new german government has come in and i think the americans of pressurizing it over the issue of ukraine to try and ensure it's a much more loyal, neutral, our. and i think in general, there is also we're seeing across the globe, a developing cold war, but in the united states, russia and in the china because we need to talk with the military build up in the south china sea. this is part of america. and the duke biden democratic initiative, the democrat of taken over you, i can be the war about walk through a pro war a party of the to the united states. it's about continuing all that we saw back at 2312003 in the days of george w bush, of using america's still superior military power to enforce his position as a hegan. one of the globe when its economic power has relatively decline. that now, assuming everybody is genuine here and they do want to find

a diplomatic solution. what could that be? i mean, with the be a solution that would meet the security concerns of all countries and parties involved. i think the fact that ukraine should not be allowed to join in e 2 is very, very important. i think you create up. this is a red line, i think is understandable red line a minute. as you get said, you know, with america, mexico, it's become a, it's a 1000000 lines, the china. so i think it's a very understood, well, think this has to be given. and the has to be recognition, which the americans seem to be backing away from. that promise was made to make it go, which over the end of the soviet union, the need to not expand into the former soviet satellites. and to the former soviet republics, no need to the americans. and i was saying that was a bubble promise, but a promise is a promise, and i promise has been broken. so that needs to be addressed. and in the escalation of this situation, and i think i'm sales to ukraine of the seas until we come to

a solution of this problem. ok, chris was good to talk. you. believe it there. that was a political analyst that chris. great, thanks for coming on. i still to come in the program protest again, can you kind of restrictions across europe with human rights green, amnesty international in italy slamming measures against the unvaccinated as discrimination. have the details to start with ah

join me every 1st bit on the alex salmon. sure. well, i'll be speaking to guess of the world of politics, sport, business, i'm sure business. i'll see you then. ah ah, welcome back now and inclusivity, dr is impacting health care professionals in the united states and britain with

midwives no longer allowed to use the word mother. but instead, they should say a gender neutral term, like berthing body, home, birthing attendant, isabella mal, been in new york, says she is outraged by the measures. the groundwork was said that we no longer use words like woman and mother, and it's now the most contemporary thing you can do. the most inclusive thing you can do is use gender neutral language. so language like burning bodies, birthing people are the person many straighter people who bleed chest feeder, well, the terminology is intended to be inclusive of transgender parents, but many health workers do appear uncomfortable with the language and fear that they will be ostracized. or even worse could lose their jobs if they say in an approved word, isabel amount. when again says that many in her profession, a scared of speaking at for the 1st time i came across the

requirements, was a do a training. in 2016 in brooklyn, new york. and my initial reaction was to go along with it. i couldn't imagine how it would be hurtful to anyone because i was told that it was modern language. it was inclusive language and we wouldn't want to make anyone feel bad. i think the biggest problem is that there is a material consequence. so pronouns, for example, do not exist in a vacuum. it unfortunately leads to a lifetime of part of pharmaceutical dependence. kind of trans humanist future body dissociation putting children on puberty blockers, right? the pronouns and the language capture is part of the bigger picture, which is, you know, dissociation from our flesh being beans from our material. reality. if

people are being threatened, many, many women have come to me who have either been fired or left their jobs because noncompliance is, is not, is not tolerated. i was unwilling to go along with the compulsive speech. and what that looked like for me was, you know, off being ostracized by my, you know, new york city birth and post partum to look community now the number of daily cave cases, a surgeon in europe with the alma khan varian spreading across the continent. so to a waves of unrest, you to tough me restrictions being imposed in some countries. a word of warning. you might find some of the following footage disturbing. now that have been violent class, she's in northern germany where hundreds protested against possible vaccine mandate that would prevent people from entering indoor venue with action, negative koby test or job 85 crackers. and these that doesn't were reportedly

arrested offices. so the protest you to demonstrate is financing math mandates their model initially thousands took to the streets and protests over the weekend. it's now mandatory death. everybody over the age of 50 to get a caveat, job, and it's essential, found the unvaccinated from using public transport, who are entering bars and restaurants even with a negative kelvin test, seen to national bow believes to clamp down amounts to discrimination and demands that the government rethinks its policy the recently approved reinforce green pass must be a time limited arrangement, and the government must continue to ensure that the entire population can enjoy their funded mental rights. amnesty international italy asked for alternative measures to allow the non vaccinated population to continue to carry out their work . anti is means of transport without discrimination across the atlantic, the number of days can be cases has reached almost 547000. and that's why

a recent poll does show that 59 percent of democratic voters would support a government policy that would confine unvaccinated americans to their homes. unless in an emergency. one of the most popular newspapers in the state of utah even published an editorial, demanding that the measures are brought in. were utah a truly civilized place? the governor's next move would be to find a way to mandate mass vaccination. going as far as to deploy the national guard to ensure that people without proof of vaccination would not be allowed. well, anywhere. well, we discuss this issue with a panel of gas. do you think that if such policy was introduced, it would create inequality and still not stop the virus and spreading. we are within the single major action of discrimination and people are divided into clusters. i want to, we are witnessing is sort of cold to see the war. i mean,

i would call it the civil war because we are putting brother against brother for friends against friend, ali vaccinate. you are not to like say to think is right for inequalities. people standing in line in the u. s. for 4 hours just to get a job. because people having to travel and other parts of the world when they don't have the disposable income to do so, or to the time to take off from work. because most people have wanted to return to normal. that's creating a lot of inequalities that go beyond just the notions of ideologies about whether people want to participate in the vaccine drive or not. we already know that the nation doesn't. so each from having a i would say, doesn't stop me from spreading the virus further. so i think that slavery does con, there seems to be very dis, proportion and actually taking away the choice of, you know, as i was with, you know, picky on the 5th days, lots of life experience. and i'm pretty sure they quite responsible people and they

should be given a choice that we put tacked on the constitution, the right to move the right to movement is one of the fundamental right in the constitution, which is a document, a positive, right? but it's also natural why to else the natural a low, if you believe in the, is the system not to a low. the reason why to free movement? well, i think we should be really worried about the effect of the public can have in these types of movements, particularly when government started to bring policing into it or military into it . that means that they've given some thought to what may or may not be legal or what may or may not be necessary. but again, i think that if we're, if we're in this concerned about coven and listen, i've had 4 shots myself. though it's not that i'm opposed personally to this boat. i am opposed to is that we don't start talking about keeping other people how drunk drivers, people who are part of intimate partner violence those. there are other things in society where we seem to be pretty lenient. well,

the world health organization does continue to stress that guessing vaccinated is important and is a vital tool in fighting the pants and most of the people in the hospital. any country you take, or any city are unvaccinated. so let's just remember that we have very good vaccines now, and we need to use them. we need to vaccinate more people to london. i where the defamation trial of a guardian journalist carol called a welder, is under way in 2019. she claimed that a multi millionaire breaks it back. it had links to the russian government during the u. k. to withdraw from the european union. art is more gas, it takes a closer look at this, and other cases where russia's been a convenient scapegoat, we have reached a point. bob passed the absurd we. we left that behind a long time ago where anything that happens and someone doesn't like it, that had happened well. and gets blamed at russia. absurd was roughly when they claim that that trump was

a russian agent. ludicrous was when american officials began literally blaming their headaches on russia. and of course, there was breaks it the best explanation for which seemed to be putin. iron banks has been duncan, my repeated accusations, and close links with russia. the parallels between the russian intervention and briggs and the russian intervention, the trump campaign, appear to be extraordinary breaks. it is now being pinned on russian interference with all of these parties were engage in an anti european project. right? probably funded with rush and money air and bank the guy who comes with nigel for, i'd look into his head while favorite presidents and policy since axes and businessmen all got the russian agent treatment from kenya west to robert de niro. there's also a british millionaire who became an honorary russian agent because he donated to bricks. it will not, the de russian government offered money to iron banks and not gonna even gone into

the lies that iron banks has told about his correct relationship with the russian government. i see he lying about his contact with the russian government because he did. this is a guardian contributor, who for had troubles ended up in court for, for libel nova that tweet which she later deleted and for that phrase. during a ted talk, she had previously said this was an attempt to silence her. an attack on journalism, pointing to the fact that banks has a russian wife when she claims, citing experts is the red light banks. on the other hand says he just wants her to stop making things up on rushes. forms to watch is the chess. presently tinsley alleged money for as the case now coastal carol cad wallader has since doll back. she posted an apology to miss the banks, but, but still claims her reporting was of utmost public interest and 22nd of october

2020. i treated that anne had been found to have broken the law. i accept he has not. i regret making this full statement, which i have deleted it, and i take not to repeat it, i apologize. you are. and for the upset and distress caused. now cad wallader claims in court the and she never meant that he took the kremlin money will that the kremlin offered him money, or she mentors he had extensive ties to the russian state and that the public should have known about it. mister banks, this agrees, banks has told the court that had extensive relationship amounted to a drinking session and g and lunch with the russian ambassador in london which, which hundreds of long if not thousands of people have done. he also says that these made up allegations have hurt his and his children's lives. he also said his sons had heard from their teachers and fellow school peoples that he was involved with the russians, and that a man had thrown

a drink at him in public while accusing him of being a liar and selling his country down the river. carol now says that she was only repeating what other media outlet said, but other media outlets say that they were quoting her let's. it's like a closed loop of irresponsibility. but carol also has a reputation, even amongst her colleagues, one of infatuation with blaming russia. i have read many of her unsourced unsubstantiated claims of amazement that they were ever published for years. she has pumped these claims about russian agents and russian money throughout our body politic and the process. she has not only attacked individuals, but every member of the british public who voted, breaks it in 2016. her story keeps evolve it as the court case drags on her latest defense. as the banks might have been used and exploited by the kremlin . much to her is as reasonable. after all, he does have a russian wife, which i,

today's journalism standards is apparently enough to mess up someone's life mcgasey of that, just gone 530 in the afternoon here at moscow. that's how things are looking. so i thought that i don't forget, i go to websites, stories tape and you can find that without c a th with i'm action returns here we're going underground on the election day in barbados.
