michelle, we dare say dow then save unpleasant truth a year has passed since joe biden became us president. and while polls show anger at his cove and, and economic policies guidance, he's his work in a different light. i used to look didn't your promise in what i have probably, you know, perform with western media ramp up rhetoric over russia, supposedly planning to invade ukraine. it's 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 just a silly, irresponsible, and unfit for the job. those are just some of the accusations gone against british

prime minister paul johnson in parliament after he apparently tried to feign ignorance about fighting coven rules with boozy party. and a former guantanamo detainees who was released without being charged is taking legal action against the u. k. government to restoring his british passport after the case against him collapse. they issued my passport eventually after 8 years of waiting and then took it away. 3 weeks later, this is all connected to the initial impressions in guantanamo that hasn't gone away. the harassment continues over these past few decades. with broadcasting lab director studios and monica. this is our international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now a year has passed since joe biden became us president, but despite rising inflation, a drop in the polls and problems related to the pandemic, he has stayed relatively positive with mid term elections later this year. he

claims to be doing better than any other president haven't been able to get some of these big legislative. i'm john real big was bigger than any president who's ever gotten in the 1st. but currently, mister president, despite the fact that americans are deeply concerned about issues like inflation and the rising cobit cases and the situation of the us economy, joe biden seems to have assessed himself as doing a decent job. furthermore, even among his own party, we're seeing many democrats who say they disapprove of how joe biden has been doing over the past year. but regardless, joe biden thinks he's off to a good start and then he's making progress. did you over promised to the american public what you could achieve in your 1st year in office and how do you plan to course correct, going forward. i use it to not just look. i didn't know or promise it, but i have probably, you know, up perform when anybody felt what happened amid the inflation rising coven cases

and troubling economic news. many americans feel joe biden isn't doing such a good job. a recent poll came out showing that 40 percent of americans believe that joe biden's presidency makes them nervous. throughout his speech, biden insisted that progress was taking place and that americans should be looking to the future with optimism. here's what he said. we have made enormous progress. you mentioned the number of deaths from proven well was not 3 times, not longer. it's coming down, everything's changing is getting better biden. and said that if there is an escalation of the situation in ukraine, that he will essentially impose dramatic sanctions. on russia, russia will not be able to conduct transactions with the us dollar. serious, serious sanctions against russia are apparently on the table. but it's been pointed out that these sanctions would also have a negative impact on the u. s. economy on not simply on russia, and now the united states apparently is talking of increasing its military presence

in eastern europe, in the advance of some kind of armed conflict between russia and ukraine. here's what joe biden said when taking a question from reporters about russia and ukraine. it is going to be a disaster for russia. if they further grade you invade, you create and that our allies in partners are ready to impose severe cost and significant harm on russia in the russian economy. well, because she's never seen sanction, like the ones i promised will be imposed. now there's been a dramatic shift in voter registration. united states with 14 percent increase in the number of voters registered as republicans and things don't look good for joe biden. in the lead up to the november mid term elections where members of congress will be elected at this point demo as have some very serious concerns and even members of biden's own party, the democratic party are starting to somewhat distance themselves from him. however, biden use this address,

marking the one year anniversary of his presidency to try to defend his record and argue that things are getting better despite the perception of most americans that is otherwise. western media are stepping up their attacks on moscow trumpeting what the kremlin calls, unsubstantiated warnings of brushes, imminent invasion of ukraine. the russian government has strenuously denied any move towards a conflict, but has laid out red lines against nato's eastward expansion towards its borders. years are used on quarter with 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 current 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 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 serious. so is not to pile on tensions around the dominant 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 u. s. 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 guess we spoke to said the moves by the west. we're bound back fire is very understandable that most good might be being frustrated by the development say the recent years. i think the very act of pointing out that having a west and military alliance that companies basically all countries except russia, is the stabilizer, is always being destabilizing, the expansion of nato. in the 992 thousands has not been helpful to, to building trust. and, and we do need to be pressing a reset button to coordinate fries. unfortunately, nato members have seen much more focus and emphasis on,

on nato and military preparations, rather than upon common cooperative security mechanisms that are crucial to your future course that isn't going to be a russian invasion. this is a foss concocted. i said nothing in the united kingdom, you have a government in deep trouble and very unpopular. you have the same of joe biden. joe biden is up plumbing debts one popularity, but notice will deliver plums before accept 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 their media to, to deflect and take up. so we're seeing this doesn't phobic war mongering propaganda. largely, i think as a distraction from the internal weakness of these key western government. ah,

british prime minister boys johnson faces an escalating backlash on accusations he hosted boozy parties during uncovered lockdown. even some of his own party members had took part in grilling him in parliament and insisting he resign opposition and peace led the onslaught. because when a prime minister is spending his time trying to convince the great british public that he's actually stupid, rather than disowning a time that he go now. this week was supposed to be open ation. see big dog as quickly become all petition dogs. don't know, why can the u. k. government point billions of pounds for property years and fraudsters, but they can't find compassion. why it's so hard for this prime minister to it meant that he made devils. so he should notable and he should fall intervals while forest johnson has faced the toughest prime minister's question since he was

elected. and it also comes the day after he claimed that a downing street party, an alleged one, was in fact a work event. and that he wasn't warned that he was breaking any rules while nan no one is buying that in the house of commons today as dozens of m. p 's, including some back bench tories have said his time is up and he needs to go. and that argument was spearheaded by the leader of the opposition, the prime minister, the conservative party of showed themselves incapable of offering the leadership with 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 save just one job. his own dawson, the country is up so much better than the other. i don't believe continuing to offer series of questions, which he knows we'll be fully addressed by. he's wasting,

he's wasting new time. he's wasting people's time this week, and he continues to be completely irrelevant to be delivered while they did that. and we, we vaccinated. well, they vacillated, mister speaker. well, of course kissed alma hasn't gotten off scot free either. as in the heights as a pandemic. he, too, was photographed eating and drinking in a constituency office in darville, though he is refusing to apologize saying there's nothing wrong with having a drink with your dinner and says, this is boris johnston's attempt to sort of shift the focus away from his own political scandal. which of course, or as johnson really is embroiled in, obviously this comes as pressure is mounting on the prime minister to resign. but he can also be forced out as well by members of parliament. in fact, 20 tory m p 's. they all met up just yesterday to discuss the future of boris johnson and several now have publicly come forward to submit these letters. all they vote of no confidence in boris johnson. although in an official capacity,

the 1922 committee needs 54 letters to trigger a leadership contest. now, rumor has it. there are plenty plenty more. in fact, an official poll it sophomore a pool pole of the public suggest the one in 6 people want to see this vote of no confidence come. however, in an attempt to distract from all of this forest, johnson chose to day to announce new cove. it measures, in fact he is ditching all covered restrictions including mandatory face mos, including the vaccine certificates. and of course are working from home guidance from next week. on monday we reduced the isolation period to find full days with to negative tests, and that will soon come a time where we can remove the legal requirement to so quite slaten together, just as we don't place legal obligations on people who i. so if they have, well, that hasn't gone down to well with the public has back in 2020. when boris johnson

was displaying cove its symptoms minutes before he actually tested positive, he actually was refusing to even isolate. but that isn't even the worst news of the day in a monumental move. what we saw minutes before prime ministers questions this afternoon . christian wake, a former torri, m p actually decided to defect to the labor party. but let's see how all this goes and how it all unravels over the next few days. of course, we're waiting for the investigation led by stu grand. in fact, some may say that bars don't, indeed hiding behind those conclusions. could they be the final now in the coffin? well, some say politically speaking, bars, johnson is already a dead man walking. now, as i saw the dimensions, johnson's scrapping of restrictions comes despite a disturbing rise. in coven related deaths with more than $438.00 reported in the last 24 hours alone. that is britain's highest since last february. a fellow at the

bow group thinks tank says that the move won't help the increasingly unpopular p. m . i think johnson came out swinging today in an attempt to go on the offensive and went back some public support. and he used the repeating of random forest measures to try regains and public support. i don't think that will suede public opinion. i think they've been lied to too many times, and some honesty at this stage could probably have been a good thing, maybe regains national trust. i think if the p m to have the honesty, sort of remit wholeheartedly that he was wrong rather than try and scan from the issue. i think he may have regained one doesn't have to wait for the results of commissions using the restrictions. maybe it's a cover from, from the main story, which is that there's a lack of confidence in them, and that's not going to do any good with the pension piece or the repelling. but the scandal that has become known as party gage is only one of the lingering problems, dragging down public opinion of the british prime minister as the okay. trades

blame with france over a drastic rise and illegal migrant crossings in the english channel. with more than a 1000 migrants believe to have made the journey from you to british shores this month alone. the number of migrants attempting the journey has been growing exponentially in recent years and dozens died or went missing. last year, while attempting to cross. in 2021, 28000 migrants are believed to have crossed the channel to england. more than 3 times the number just a year before. now, you can officially believe that $65000.00 individuals could try this year. united kingdom independence parties, former spokesperson on the immigration, says johnson's pledges on the issue, our ability to distract from the party get scandal. but people won't, before it's ridiculous ideas use the navy, the british navy has been cut to the bone anyway and its purpose is not to repel illegal immigrant boats. we are without countries like governor oregon, the actually knowing about it,

saying that we are going to transport illegal immigrants over there. that rightly replying and chatting is that they don't want them. this has been a problem ever since into power back in 2019. theresa may was little bit weak or miss she famously saw in the un migration compact or show some has come out with big words, which is very convenient, but only now as the illegal immigrant crisis reaches a crescendo. and at the same time, the recalls of ours johnson to go that this, these firm promises a being made. we've been fool too many times by pretty to tell him the conservatives are not going to do anything about it. and across the english channel, the french president, himself is under fire, over migration. ultimately, we cannot solve that problem if the way in which migratory flows are seen from the british side doesn't change. you allow people to work without papers because it's helpful to the economy. but that doesn't face the reality of migratory flows. now

there need to be legal, stable roads to be able to migrate to the u. k. and this is the situation that we're confronted with. this is a dialogue that we need to pursue with the u. k. the law heckled. manual marconas, he arrived at the european parliament and then his views were attacked in the chamber a spokesperson for frances national rally slammed his immigration policies while the head of the european people's party accused him of dividing society. meanwhile, green met janik job. don't know, viciously lashed out at a cron for failing to fight climate change. now this was still a list to mr. he will go down in history. mister president of the president of climate inaction. because you ultimately been complacent about the issue. you prefer to find truces with lobbyists rather than wage war against climate change. you prefer to procrastinate, like no streep in the field, don't come. you push back,

give up and fantasize about solutions in 1015 or 20 years, rather than declare a call to arms. but professor sean bri small of. busy the catholic university of laverne believes micron is to a 3rd authoritarian excuse me, to listen to criticism, no matter how heavy it is. the speech was really what i didn't study things about his view of the world as he has a very, very young view of the world for i don't, he doesn't listen to this, isn't this absolutely convinced of his world? you do so you know, is super liberal democracy which is an actual fact there. he'll do a very and so on the only because his hope is always that there be somebody on the site as she so burnt. like, you know, my name, the pin, those in more and he just gave them the hope that there'd be probably tell he flicks to have him here. but if that happens, then there will be a huge amount of abstention. sure. so i don't know what's going to happen, but that's what he's worried about. former guantanamo detainees.

more awesome, begging who spent nearly 2 years in the infamous us prison without being charged is now taking legal action for the u. k. to restore his passport. beg, a 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 applied for a passport in 2019 and even received one in september, 2021. but it was provoked just 4 weeks later. beg believes his passport troubles are connected to his previous imprisonment. at one time, the passport was when i received it, i was overjoyed, i, i twisted out that i'm finally be able to travel. and then within 3 weeks i was, i received a letter. an ironically this letter i received showed a great deal of incompetence. was actually primarily the cover letter was addressed to a person who'd been convicted in the north of england for passport fraud. and it was

dated 2017. nonetheless, the letter sort of rece regurgitate and reiterated the reason why my passport has been revoked. back in 2013, it was, they said, based upon a trip that i did to turkey to syria. again, i was in investigation investigating the role of the british government in working with various regime. i have no doubt in my mind that this has to do withholding the british government to account the fact that they issued my passport eventually off the 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 to is just vindictive vindictiveness that has lost over 20 years. this is, this is all connected to the initial imprisonment in guantanamo that hasn't gone away. the, the harassment continues over these past 2 decades, and this is evidently a part that big was held at guantanamo for just under 2 years,

almost 600 days of which were spent in solitary confinement. he said he and other detainees faced what the u. s. brands enhanced interrogation and called the conditions that are quote, taurus, here is a short history of the 2 decades of the notorious prison camp that continues to hold inmates today. ah

mas am beg goes on to say his previous incarceration at guantanamo is continuing to disrupt his life. now 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. this episode for me is one of the proofs of that though there are others. the number of daily co cases are searching in europe with the alma kron variance spreading across the continent. but so to our waves of unrest to do to tough new restrictions being imposed in some countries. a word of warning, you might find some of the following images disturbing. there have been violent clashes in northern germany, where hundreds of protested against a possible vaccine mandate that would prevent people from entering indoor venues without a negative cobit test or a job. people set off firecrackers and at least a dozen were reportedly arrested. officers stopped to protest due to demonstrators plotting mask mandates there. meanwhile, in italy, thousands took to the streets in protest over the weekend. it is now mandatory

there for everybody to get everybody over 50. that is to get a covert job and it is essentially band the unvaccinated from using public transport or intern bars and restaurants even with a negative coban test. and this, the international believes the clamped down amounts to discrimination and demands that the government rethinks its politics. 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 italian asked for alternative measures to allow the non vaccinated population to continue to carry out their work. auntie's means of transport without discrimination across the atlantic, the number of daily covered cases has reached almost 547000. that's while a recent poll shows 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 the editorial demanding the measures are brought in. where utah a truly civilized place, the governess next move will 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, anyway, we discussed this issue with a panel of guests who think that if such a policy was introduced, it would create inequality and still does 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 sort of cold, the civil war. i mean, i would call it a civil war because we put in bother against brother, friends against friend all your bucks in a to you are not about today 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 inequalities that go beyond just notions of ologies about whether people want to participate in the vaccine drive or not. we already know that the vaccination doesn't stop from having been there. i will say doesn't stop me from spreading the virus further. so i see where it says con, the seems to be very this proportion and actually taken away the choice of adults with, you know, 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 system not to allow 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 and what may or may not be necessary. but again, i think that if we for this concerned about coven, 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 home drunk drivers, people who are part of intimate partner violence, those. there are other things in society where we seem to be pretty lenient. the world health organization continues to stress that getting vaccinated is important . and as a vital tool in finding 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,

or that is a for me, this hour. i will be back and let's say 30 minutes of the full address with ameriprise financial survival guide. liquid assets are those that you can convert into it quite easily. but keep in mind, no as the main to inflation better watch guys report with gothic. we'll put it up on those particular coordinate, the police, you could call them push and push it ahead of you. but there's just somebody somebody from a few minutes ago, but it was 3 to what i still love with it at the. but i book a believe about what we did get hope all.
