when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah, western media ramp up rhetoric over russia supposedly planning to invade ukraine claim that moscow has consistently denied when a prime minister is spending his time trying to convince the great british public that he's actually stupid rather than be a responsible and on the job. those you, some of the accusations against the british prime minister, or johnson and parliament after he apparently tried that nigger into that flying pin code with parties. and they issued by passport eventually after 8 years of waiting and then took it away 3 weeks later. this is all connected to

the initial imprisonment in continent mode. it hasn't gone away. the harassment continues over these past few decade and a former guantanamo detainees. he was released without being charged to taking legal action against government to restore his british passport off to the case against him, collapse with good even just on 6 o'clock in moscow, you watching us international now west the media, stepping up their attacks on moscow trumpeting what the cramming calls unsubstantiated warnings of rushes, imminent invasion of ukraine. the russian government has strenuously denied and he moved towards the conflict but has laid out red lines against natives eastwood expansion towards his borders. with more details his don't 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 you, 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, and cut 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 is 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 ukraine. and why wouldn't they, 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 the 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, it doesn't exactly seem like rushes, the aggressor here. okay, well let's get the thoughts now for me. you k ambassador craig murray, who was an envoy to miss becky, stan, you're very welcome. good to have you on the program this evening. craig was she will take care because even today we heard from us ukrainian politician, he's from the ruling party there who said he, but he said that claims of

a russian invasion or inciting, unnecessary panic. it doesn't seem that even ukrainians believe that russia is going to invade him yet. this is what we hear from western media and western politicians. ok, i'm afraid we've lost mr. murray. there is a bad connection. he's froze and we'll try and get him back in the next few minutes if we can just corner 5 pass. yes, i can hear you bye. we'll move on because the british prime minister parish johnson faces escalating backlash is on accusations that he hosted booty parties during a covey lockdown. even some of his own party members took part in grilling him in parliament and insisting that he resign opposition and peace lead the onslaught to speak out when a prime minister is spending his time trying to convince the great british public that he's actually stupid rather than dishonest time that he no

this week was supposed to be opperation. see big dog us quickly become. why can you hear government point billions of pounds, the properties of fraudsters, but they can't find compassion. why it's so hard for this prime minister to admit that he made the rules so he should know the rule and he should follow intervals. okay, well let's get the latest now for mara, london correspondent shadow edward stashed he. he was across all those proceedings taking place in parliament today. good evening t again, shadier a lot of pressure cambridge johnson's way today. how did he fare? well, as you just had this week, was supposed to be all about operation save big dog, but it's all turned into a bit of a dog's dinner for bar johnson and the conservatives. in fact, boards, johnson faced the toughest most grueling pm use with dayton his entire premier ship

off to the day after he claimed he thought these were the main downing street parks . it was a work event and that he wasn't warned that he himself was breaking the rules. well, no one in the house of commons was really buying that excuse. in fact, dozens of m. p 's including some tory back benches for that matter, have said one after the other, his time is up and it really is for him to resign. and that was all sped by the leader of the opposition to speak on for the prime minister. the conservative party of showed themselves incapable of offering the leadership and government this country just while we were searching out plans to keep bills down. there was planning parties while we were sitting out plans to save jokes in the steel industry. he was, he was trying to fight just one job or dawson, the country is up so much better than the other. i don't believe continuing to ask

if there is a question. would, you know, will be fully addressed? oh, he's wasting, he's wasting new times. he's on the waiting time. this is because he continues to be completely irrelevant to be delivered while they do that. and we, we vaccinated. well, they, they did, missiles kissed alma, hasn't gotten off scot free either as he himself was photographed eating and drinking in the constituency office in durham during the lockdown matches. now he refuses to apologize for that saying there's nothing wrong with having a bear with your dinner and says, this is boris johnson's attempt to squirming out of his own political scandal trying to shift the focus. obviously, the pressure is now mounting on bars. johnson, the prime minister to resign, but he can also be forced out by nps as well. in fact, as yesterday, around 20 tory m p. 's, they all met up to discuss with boris johnson on his future. then come the morning

1st, johnson wakes up to at least 10 of them as of missing axes. all the votes offer no confidence in the prime minister. now officially, the 1922 committee needs 54 and needs 15 percent of the tory party. those lessons in order to trigger any leadership contest but room a does have it. there are plenty more bubbling under the surface just waiting for that opportune moment to come out and also submit these elapses. and fact though, it's not just m p 's that can pull some out. but if we look at the polls, the latest poll lamps of murray pulses 6 and 10 people want to see a vote of no confidence in forest johnson. but it's ham. if you can see any potential attempt to try and distract from all of this forest, johnson decided that this was the time to announce some close it announcements. and he said that all of the restrictions come to do with the on the chrome variant will

be lifted by next week. that includes the mandatory face moss vaccine certificates . and of course, the walking from home guidance on monday, we reduced the isolation period to 5 full days with 2 negative tests. and it will soon come a time where we can remove the legal requirement to so quite well together. just as we've done place legal obligations on people to isolate if they have flu, well, even that hasn't gone down to well either us, it's just to merge that boris johnson back in 2020, when he himself was displaying covert symptoms and then of course subsequently tested positive for cove at 19 will actually at that point in time, he was refusing to self isolate and apparently he was quoted saying it's because he had strong like a bull. so full, the prime minister, things of really going from bad to was in fact a monumental moment to came to came just seconds before pm cues this afternoon.

christian wake for the tory m p defected to the labor party. that means he is crossed over to the other side of the house of commons. we haven't really seen anything quite like it for some time. some people saying as an absolute body slam so far is johnson and the tory party. although some tory empties are already saying this needs to be the moment where the tory party unified comes together and tries to back the prime minister. it's unsure, unclear how much that that argument will really last and how it would go down with the general public. but for now, in regards to one of these parties on a lip, from ministers, and the prime minister seems to be, we'll wait the investigation led to by stu. grey were expected to see these conclusions potentially this week, but most likely, early next week. but her conclusions really could be the final nail in the coffin for the prime minister, who's some say, is a dead man, whooping or writing. okay, thank you. sherry,

there was shut it. ashy reporting met from london. ok, well let's go back to our top story now because west the media stepping up, their attacks on moscow trumpeting what the crumbling calls and substantiated warnings of rushes, immune invasion of ukraine. the russian government has strenuously denied and he moved towards the conflict. but his lay down red lines against ne taste eastward expansion towards its borders will replace. so we can bring in that. so you came back to the craig murray despite the glitch earlier. craig, good to see you again. why do you think the west is drumming up? phase hair of the russian invasion, when russia said, look consistent and we have said, we will not attack and we want a diplomatic solution. i mean, those things, there's course, that isn't going to be a russian invasion. this is a sauce concocted. i said nothing and pockets to do with your last item, an enter united kingdom, you have a government in deep trouble and very popular. you have the same of joe biden. joe

biden is clubbing, depth, one popularity, but notice level before except the donald trump. so a fun distraction, fabre that name, war mongering is always something which politicians turn to and which generally they can, they can rely on then media to, to deflect and take up. so we're seeing this doesn't phobic war mongering propaganda. largely, i think is a distraction from the internal weakness of these key western government. how long do you think that this rhetoric can last though i asked that because early today, cranium, politician from the ruling party actually said the claims of a russian invasion are actually inciting unnecessary panic. i mean, the sexy state is in, you try, you must be hearing this to g. think there's a chance that the west might back off because they've also said they want to diplomatic solution. and they have said they wanted

a magic solution. but at the same time, the west is doing things which escalate the problem. the example, it's just been the names of the united kingdom, a sending a 100 soldiers to the ukraine for training purposes, to train on anti tank weapons. that's what the u. k is doing you multiply that by many nato countries and you get increasing on forces on, on rushes orders and increasing military build up. so they've been doing things like on purpose to keep attention going. that must come a time after some months where the constant predictions. gotcha is a batch when they look said the when russia doesn't. and they, the other thing is that should those company have tubes on exercise on its eastern borders within russia, all of investing in title to be. but the,

some time those exercises will themselves come to a natural close and there will be less troops on the, on of these borders. so my guess is we're going to go through this for, you know, the next couple of months i expect we'll have constant alarm is the danger. but this is a stupid and dangerous game, but that can be by a nationalistic schemas. in ukraine or by blake away nation supporters in ukraine, there can be an accidental escalation of conflicts as condom military buildup is always extremely foolish. on this point, craig, we haven't heard anybody really talk about dissolution of them. they want or they would prefer a diplomatic one. but what could that be because rushes red lines are very clear, but this seems to be a great reluctance by the west to accept rushes concerns over nice size expansion.

you have to call of course the west has some decent invaders anywhere. there's not a whole lot more going on at the moment. you still have some continuing conflict in iraq. joe biden, one of the few very sensible things of his presence. he pulled out of afghanistan and western army manufacturers don't like it when there's no war. and there's been no invasion that is very, very bad sales and for the military security industry. so they have to lean on politicians for more woman then propaganda. and so the will isn't there on the western side, there is an existing mechanism. there were agreements in place on how to de escalate the situation in ukraine and to be fair to russia who's done best to

stick to those mechanisms. but this claim, they know in just the dual in western governments, all these things. so i, i think you're going to see what's the major, i'm with some government keeping this period of kind of cold war propaganda going as long as they possibly can because they just have no interest in incoming. it will genuinely seeking to find the solution. ok, craig will leave it there, but when you get to talk to you today that was craig murray, a former u. k. ambassador to his becca. stand, thanks for coming on. thank you. i still had you over the next few minutes, protest against new haven restrictions across europe with human rights group international in italy slamming measures they're against the unvaccinated as discrimination. we'll have the details in a couple of the

ah ah ah ah ah ah, a ah you know other shows are happy to report. pleasant sounding lies are constantly telling us pleasant lies. i'm not sure. we dare to delve into unpleasant truth

with hello again. now a former quantum, a detainee mo, as i'm back, he spent nearly 3 years in the infamous us prison without being charged is now taking legal action for the u. k. to restore his passport. well, mister bag of british, pakistani had been initially detained 2 decades ago. on allegations of involvement in terrorist activities and was released from guantanamo in 2005. he was detained again by u. k. police a decade later, but the case against him collapsed. he then applied for a passport in 2019 and even got one in september 2021, but that was revoked. 4 weeks later or some bank told us he believes his passport

troubles are connected with his previous imprisonment. santana back. i do believe that the my, my passport has been revoked initially back and when i came back from control them or because primary for evidence that came out of guantanamo the former guantanamo prisoners, that i have documented and worked with all around the world. clearly, i think the majority, if not all of them are actually put on some kind of a list of the united states that, that has stopped them or prevent them from opening bank accounts. it stops them from travelling properly harassing them. so the, essentially the, the imprisonment of guantanamo may end when you're freed. but the, the connection to guantanamo and the targeting and disruption of your life does not end for this episode. for me is one of the proofs of that though there are others. you received a british passport, not so long ago, but then it was revived. why was, is that we, were you given any reasons?

yes, the possible was when i received it, i was overjoyed i, i tweeted out that i'm finally be able to travel. and then within 3 weeks i was, i received a letter, an ironically the letter i received would show the great deal of incompetence was actually primarily the cover letter was addressed to a person who had been convicted in the north of england for passport fraud. and it was dated 2017, and i left the letter sort of rece regurgitate and reiterated the reason why my passport had been vote back in 2013. even those the government tried to prosecute me. the charges fell apart, i was declared a not guilty and the police went above and beyond been said was a big is innocent despite all of the fact that they issued my passport. eventually, after 8 years of waiting and then took it away 3 weeks later, with absolutely no explanation at all shows. 2 things to me. one is a great deal of incompetence, and 2 is just ridiculous vindictiveness that has lost over 20 years. this is,

this is all connected to the initial imprison than in guantanamo de, hasn't gone away the, the harassment continues over these past 2 decades. and this is evidently a part of that. and why is it so important for you to get this passport back? like with anybody else, they say passport is a privilege, but really in all honesty, the passport is the most undeniably recognised document of an identity of a person. so when i have to go to places and give either location, i don't have a passport to show people my freedom to travel to go and visit my daughter, who just recently got married. and i couldn't go to a wedding relatives a passed away. and most importantly, investigation work, and i think this is one of the reasons why the government doesn't want me to have a passport. i've been constantly showing that the government has been involved in a rendition, torture detention without trial. and that has been the, the body of my work for the past 15 years, and they simply just don't like it. and these are the, the hidden ways of trying to disrupt all of the work that i've been doing. now the

number of daily caved cases, the surging in europe at the moment with the micron, varying spreading across the continent. but so 2 ways of unrest due to tough need restrictions being imposed in some countries and word of warning. you may find the following image is disturbing. now there have been falling class. she's in northern germany where hundreds protested against a possible vaccine mandate that would prevent people from entering into venue with action. negative k tests or job people settle firecrackers, at least a dozen were reportedly arrested officer itself. the protest. duty demonstrated fighting mosque monday. meanwhile in italy, size and took to the streets and protests over the weekend. and he's now mandatory that everybody over the age of 50 to get the cobra jump. and it's essentially banned the unvaccinated from houston, public transport or entering bars and restaurants, even with a negative test seen to national belief that the clamp down just amount to

discrimination. and demands that the government rethinks the policy fully 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 italia 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 daily covey cases has reached almost 547000. and that was, recent poll does show you that 59 percent of democratic voters would support a government policy that would confine unvaccinated americans to their homes and less in an emergency. one of the most popular newspapers in the state of utah even published and editorial, demanding that the measures of 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. see, think that if such a policy was introduced, it would create inequality and still not stop the virus from spreading. we are witnessing a major action of discrimination and people i divided into clusters. and what we are witnessing is saw to of cold the ceiling, the war. i mean, i would call it a civil war because we put in bother against brother, friends against friend, all your vaccinate. you are not about to say to think it's right for any qualities . people standing on line in the u. s. for 4 hours, just to get a job. people having to travel in other parts of the world when they don't have disposable income to do so, or to time to take off from work because most people have wanted to return to normal. that's creating a lot of inequality. is that go beyond just notions of ology about whether people

want to participate in the vaccine drive or not. we already know that the vaccination doesn't stop from having been and i will say doesn't stop me from spreading the wires further. so that's where it does kind of seems to be very this proportion and actually taking away the choice of adults with a particularly under 50. we've got lots of life experience and i'm pretty sure they are quite responsible people and they should be given the choice, the we protect the constitution. their right to move would provide to movement is one of the fundamental why to in the constitution, which is a document a positive, right? but it's also natural why to also natural law if you believe in the assistance of natural 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 concerned about it and listen, i've had 4 shots myself. so it's not that i'm opposed personally to this boat. i am opposed to it is that we don't start talking about keeping other people who are drunk drivers, people who are part of intimate partner violence, those. there are other things in society where we seem to be pretty lenient. while the world health organization does continue to stress that getting vaccinated is important and is a vital tool in fighting the pandemic. 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 watching aussie that brings you up to date tag. but tabby company just coming up to half 6 here in moscow. but back again. and you said with that

ah the so called enhanced interrogation techniques used by the u. s. officials were basically designed as techniques to break down the human mind. if you force a human being to stay in a certain position doesn't take very long to the pain involved,

to become absolutely excruciating, but nobody's lane finger on you. you are doing it to yourself and we started adopting those techniques when i was station and mosul among them, wordpress positions sleep deprivation. inducing hypothermia. there's already beginning to be evidence that these old techniques are now being used on immigrant children. whatever you do or more comes home, nobody has been held accountable for the torture that happened in the past. the moral authority, the made america award letter refund for the shimmer effect is interrogate with ah, ah.
