in the world corrupted, you need to descend ah, to join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah, we recently notified congress of our intend to deliver and 17 helicopters of the light, just round of the escalation toast, the u. s. joins other nighttime member states and ramping up supplies of weapons in kiev, russia to pull back its own troops from its border with the crime. also this i rally against restriction to breaking out across europe with anger in front of a vaccine mandate stand across the channel in britain, the protest against mandatory jap, health workers and also to come medical experts appeal to the international olympic committee to toughen rules about transgender athletes saying they have an unfair advantage in women's poll,

we speak to one of the scientists behind the complex. the ios is trying to do is focus on inclusion, and i think that is fine, but they are schools. we are archive inclusion. and then you won't have famous with hello good, even just gone 6 o'clock in moscow. we watching international nighttime members have pledged to send more lethal weapons to ukraine with washington confirming plans to send military helicopters to kiev. but at the same time, they have told russia to pull back its own troops on the border with its neighbour . i would note that the united states as delivered, more security assistance to ukraine last year than any point in history. these deliveries are ongoing, including today there's more deliveries coming. we recently notified congress of our intent to deliver and 17 helicopters. it seems all the stops have been pulled

at this point from the, from the side of nathan lethal weapons are flooding into ukraine at, at record speed when record amounts. ukraine has confirmed that it has received the latest shipment of american lethal arms, amounting to 100 tons of 100 tons of lethal arms in just the legs a shipment. estonia, latvia, lithuania have also voiced their desire to supply. perhaps i have begun to supply you credit with the guided missiles, javelin guided missiles that they have in turn received from the united states, as well as stinger shoulder launched. anti air missiles is tony, a lot of it in lithuania and their allies, are working together expeditiously to hand over security assistance to ukraine. this ada will further enhance ukraine's capability to defend his territory and population in case of possible russian aggression. this is of course,

in addition to other suppliers that ukraine has received an over recent weeks, including this week with the more than 2000 guided missiles supplied by the united kingdom alone, var sky bridge, endless military cargo floods. you had the czech republic say that it allows supplies, again, vast quantities of $152.00 millimeter artillery shells which, which have caused a lot of destruction and eastern new cray, a poland with the drones and the armored vehicles in addition to helicopters, to patrol craft supplied by other countries. nevertheless, there, there has been some disparity, this unity among nato. it's with regards to this to this on supply route that has been open to ukraine flood. i would even say some nations have stayed out of it more or less, including germany. estonia has sorta transferred german artillery systems to

ukraine, and germany has refused to sanction this move. the federal government has had a clear stance regarding arms exports in recent years. we have not supported the export of lethal weapons from germany. germany has been under huge pressure from certain native member states. she could, which include the united states, great britain, certain about the country's eastern european countries to open up and send lethal arms to ukraine as well. but germany has so far stayed there. as i said, stayed out of it. the german chancellor, olaf sholtes has also been invited to the united states by biden, reportedly he refused saying that he has other responsibilities to attend to. but the, the, the, this is stand off continues at this point. as you mentioned, at the united states as cauldron, russia to remove its troops from its own soil near you, crate to,

to move them out. when russia, at the same time, nato troops are arriving in again, break could go quantities to ukraine, which russia has always seen as a, as a security concern. there has also been an opinion in russia that these build up is, is justified that more securities needed on the border with, with ukraine, given that this again, vast quantity of lethal arms are being sent to you create and maimed bolden. the regime in key of said to, to vap, seek a military solution for the crisis and in east than you credit. so certainly no end to the standoff inside when you're trained to east the most regions on the russian border have enjoyed conflicts for the past 8 years with forces from the national army bombarding civilian areas that have refused to recognise the west and back government in kiev. and local stay warm, that life is frightening on

a daily basis. the chest cook, it is called some of which a shuttle fisherman deleon of which in tissue, cut them when you has moved to utah, stoney, she fresh, 90 percent english is from looking over to the same mission degree lives but the most okay. we do apologize is no translation on that report. we see we can fix that. but in the meantime, the top diplomats of russia and the u. s. did finish the 2nd round of their security talks in switzerland yesterday. it lasted only 90 minutes, but washington did confirm it will give a written response to the cremeans concerns over nato expansion. in the coming days, however, listening to russia's foreign minister after the talks, it is clear that big difference is the remaining

ah, not hear any reasoning, justifying the american position on the russia ukraine border. only concerns, concerns, concerns. russian officials have never threatened ukrainians as a nation. not even once president zalinski who has been under the wing of our western colleagues who patronize encouraging any sorts of action publicly said that if any ukraine citizen regards himself as russian, he should get out of ukraine. who is the one making threats. and what can these threats possibly lead to that is that the question is we will not go back on the fundamental principles that we have are and that we are committed to defend. and one of those is a narrows opened, or russia has

a mashed, very significant forces and ukraine or, and continues to do some 100000 troops. most recently, including forces deployed to billers, russia has addressed every concern which has been voiced, they admit that it's our own territory. still say that there are too many troops, and then immediately in the same sense. and they say that whatever americans are doing with their own choosing your, it is not of our business. we do not claim any spheres of influence, but what nato is doing in regards to ukraine is clearly showing that the alliance sees it as a sphere of its own influence. it reflects the mentality of the west and community fully confident in its exceptionalism. they can do anything and the rest of us only with their permission. journalist and filmmaker john pilcher, has been speaking about the west treatment of russia and the double standards

involved. well, his a taste of what he said in the latest episode of artes getting undergrad. first of all, if you look either to russia was, who are said to be the aggressors. and about a 1000000 bait. russian troops are actually in russia. ah, u. s. miss isles, surround, ah, russia and british troops on the borders of russia, nato troops, or on the borders of russia. nato troops surround russia from slovenia all away down. so the, the aggression, the potential aggression appears to be almost certainly on one side. but it's, it's never a quarter that way rid in san polio. the day, one of the most popular peak of the world today is barry obama. there was barack obama, who affectively ah,

overthrew the elected government in ukraine in 2014 and allowed it to be replaced with her and anti russian aggressive regime that came as a result of an old a bomb as people that has brought nate, her u s b u k. right up to the border of russia. imagine the reverse. imagine the russians. ah, rather a russian presence ride on to the canadian border with the united states or the mexican border. is that it's there. her, it's the refusal to understand, to reverse such to put our souls in the position of a country that last i had her, i think it was 20000000 people in the 2nd world war.

the. now another news tonight, demonstrations against toby restrictions have erupted in major cities across europe this weekend. the french rat raged by requirements for every body over the age of 16 to show proof of inoculation to enter public places. while in britain, people won. the recent remove pandemic rule was there to be extended to national health service staff. charlotte, when ski is in paris forest and shuddered at this dusty reports from london possession that just passed me is one of several that are taking place across the city to day. as well as many others taking place across france. there is a mixture of issues here, but one of the big issues is that vaccine, passports is going to come into play from monday. anybody age 16 rover will have to be fully vaccinated or have recovered from coverage within the last 6 months to be

able to access very basic things like going into restaurants or balls, even now being able to go and trains between different regions. now the protesters have spoken to said that, you know, this is stripping away their rights as citizens, and they're not the only ones that are concerned about this is also m. p, 's and senators who all said that they are against this idea of a vaccine mandate. and their of even been legal experts raising some particularly difficult questions. 5000000 unvaccinated citizens will become pariahs, even though there is no vaccination obligation, asking a person for their vaccination status to access certain activities as an anomaly. we are in the midst of a dystopian. this law is in essence, a concentrate of attacks on multiple freedoms and fundamental rights that protest had been dying down in france, so good. the coven 19 restrictions, but they were reinvigorated. just a few weeks ago when president mack on gave a highly controversial interview in that he said, and these are his words,

not mine, that he wanted to pay off the unvaccinated. and essentially said that they would known the citizens as they had refused a civic right to go and get the vaccine. and not really his anger. so many people here, the bus vox nancy that i was like the vaccine pass is a version of the german house vice id. i got that it's a returned to 1944 to the worst dictatorship. it's a does toby, you have the more that these vaccine passes don't work, they infringe on our freedoms. micron has created a sanitary dictatorship, democrat, medical to new basket. so back donna, people aren't happy. we took to the streets for our freedom. everyone is protesting in france today, i am against mandatory vaccination. this is a question of freedom to work. go outside for a coffee to a museum. well, i do believe we must respect fundamental freedoms, mandatory vaccination and the vaccine pass, trample on all freedom. it is very important to protest today and be here with all

the idea of the start, the means now with these new restrictions, people are going to be pushed into the going to get vaccinated or deciding to begin the heels and not the sense i got from process to pay today is that that's what they want to do and they will continue to refuse to have that job. po for 7 day is very much a problem here in the united kingdom. as all the restrictions are to be lifted and you think it would be a cause and abrasion, but tens of thousands of people are capturing right here in central london. that's incredibly angry at the government and how they've handled it. didn't try upon demick. they say today, it's not the time to be food by the government. so full sense of freedom and actually the control is still very much upon a disagree with the mandate. it doesn't, it doesn't make sense to me. i haven't been coming to just walk in. but it's getting so close to me losing my job. i'm angry and i'm sad. you should have that fun to mental choice to decide what we put in the stuff, not just the front line,

but also the receptionist. it will be i so as we do the monday, they're really bad thing for many people here in the united kingdom. they're also incredibly angry at the fact that children are now even being a co us into getting jobs and arguably, or they say it's my body. my choice is not really, i should be the crux of all government policy. now today's protest is in conjunction in connection with various approaches across europe and ultimately what my role calling for as much non compliance crap. it all comes here in the united kingdom as the default nations, a somewhat more cautious approach to how they deal with these private restrictions . and whether or not they should be lifted just yet. in fact, the world's prime minister. he believes the forest don't miss only giving this to distract from what's going on in westman. as for the u. k. government,

he didn't let me just say, you know, if anybody believes that there are no swans this week, about corona virus were the result of a careful consideration of the science or because they had a well worked out plan for what they were doing. i think that would be a very optimistic view indeed of the state of play in the u. k. government. everything that is happening in westminster at the moment is seen entirely through the lens of how can we get something else to be reported. other than the dia, difficulties of the prime minister has created for himself. and that's what i believe lies behind the announcements that we've seen this week. of course, that law takes referring to the party again, john, those are up to 3, westminster in recent months. all those allocations of number 10, downing street coffee is a forest. johnson is very much himself embroiled, and they say it's time for forest on who to go. however,

many people here in the united kingdom proven related, say bar is time to go, because of course, many people say it's too soon. and this one of these private instructions is to, to, to have this freedom day, especially as now and recent news, we're hearing of this sub variance of the, of the crone very, and being detected by the u. k. help security agency saying it's a barrier on the investigation. and as we know, the number of private tasteless deal reaching over a $100000.00 every single day, plus, we know much more transmissible around us, even a re infection risk as well. however, many protests have hit today, so the other com variance is nothing more than just the common flu and should flu really be a reason to disrupt freedom. now the german navy chief has been forced to apologize for admitting that crimea is now part of russia and proposing to stop demonizing flat. he may appear in the comments at

a conference in india though, have drawn a frantic response from mainstream media and people online is probably putting pressure on it because we can do it. it is easy to get him the respect, he also gives us the caught me up and got another come to this is that some believable is putin already financing parts of the navy, vice admiral k, all come shomberg must be recalled immediately. fire him, a navy chief must not play his own foreign policy game in a crisis. clearly vice admiral shaun bog thought he was off the record. while the vice admiral now cause his statement to mistake, after germany defense ministry said his words do not reflect its official position . the crime air is still part of ukraine. criminal consistently pointed at the

peninsula, voted overwhelmingly in a referendum to reunify with russia. okay, well that's good thought now prevail, he's an independent journalist and join just now you're very welcome to what you think there's been such a pushback to this navy chief, when many would say, look, he's just simply pointing out reality on the grand of course, it can't be accepted that the one of the 3 most important really treat in the bonus scare or the rear admiral question was shown back. says such a thing. probably it didn't know it was being recorded, but you hear this very much in the corridors of nato, or, of the think tanks gravitating around. they took, people are realistic. they know, of course, that cream. i will never go back to ukraine. i mean, it rejoined russia, everybody knows that it is fresh and somehow, so there is the official declarations. and that is the reality. what's good is that

we could hear what one of the top military nato thinks, railey that's variable. of course. now there is an outcry in the press, the americans on the speak about all the things they don't mention that really, but on it is very important. again, this or at middle settle, so that russia, oh, i threatens its neighbors to walk to wrong, maintain them, to keep down m b russian sphere of influence. it's not really that to be naive to say that, but on, on ease nato pro russia is simply a really, when he says, for example, back to watching that it would be illogical despite the fact that georgia or kicks all the cases or it, it could join nato, it should be, it is the logical, it should not happen because he would antagonize russia. so he understands press what happens about ukraine or about children. and it is very important to have

heard it that say it isn't it. and even though you know, you may say he spoken out of line, hey, when you look at official policy from germany, they do distance themselves from nato. sometimes you only have to look at the arm supplies going in to kiev. and germany saying it thinks that's wrong and does it sort of underlie rarely run the line, the divisions that are there. and the discrepancies that do exist in terms of countries, policies, and nato's policies. ah, yes, of course. that was the official position. they told we here mister salt of berkeley every day, talking about it, but there are other positions within nato. many governments believe that ukraine is quite dangerous. it would be dangerous to have them within nato because the halt had southwest good, main things that are totally crazy. and then article fall with way with the nato and others would have to defend ukraine. this is completely crazy. they know that

so nobody really wants ukraine to join nato. oh, even within nato, but they can't say it so nobody can lose face. and that is what needs to happen into negotiation. searching. we need to find they need to find a solution between russia and nato. to so that nobody was his face, but that the ukraine never change nato. and what are the chances of that happening? i mean, of course, everybody agrees. they need to find a solution along those lines. but when you look at the reality, i mean not very difficult, isn't it? to find a solution that sort of takes all the boxes for everybody. yes, but many experts are quite optimistic. oh, nothing will happen around ukraine. they say for the coming month. and then after 23 months, america will say, see, they haven't all attacked. thanks to our firmness. we americans have been firm. and

so russia is not attack. and so then only then could america make concessions. and if they start, then to make concessions in the summer, they could prepare a meeting between the hands to state between mr. biden, mr. gordon on where things could mellow and improve and reach for the mid term elections of early november in india, who was with, you know, a position where mr. biden can say, i save the world. interesting. okay, well, let's see if that happens. legal is good to tell you that was like revenge independent journalist speaking to us. there are from brussels in boucher ah. now the international limbic committees, new rules for transgender athletes have spout controversy with medical experts in sports. she's saying they promote unfair competition in women's events, the new regulations. they come into effect often beijing, when current and picks next month, and would not require transgender athletes to lower their testosterone levels to

compete in women's events international. and the committee is also calling on sports organizations to prevent gender based discrimination. but according to one of the scientists behind the appeal to the i o c, testosterone does play a crucial role in the performance of an athlete. i think what sport needs to do is have criteria on which they can base levels of mark is like to start thrown to a certain level to allow performance that is i think, you know, in the views of those who wrote this framework, i be probably the only ones who believe that to stop run does not play a role in performance. clearly, no one is saying that performance can be brought down to one hormone and clearly, you know, sporty performance is a multi factorial aspect. but clearly at the moment, we know that distortion does play a major role and has to be considered in the solution. clearly,

not as the only factor, but one of the primary factor and probably the best one that we have at the moment . well, any rules about transgender athletes to come after several high profile cases, eland, white lift, laurel hubbard, became the 1st transgender female to take part in the olympics last year. and then recently american college women, lia thomas dominated her sport with reco breaking performances despite undergoing hormone suppression therapy. now, according to the international olympic committee, the new rules will promote a fair and welcoming environment. but yanez pitt saw this again does warn, they could undermine the credibility of competitive sport. i think what the, what the i is he's trying to do is focus on, on inclusion, being the primary factor being considered in human rights is vitally important. and none of us would, would dispute that, but in addition to the human rights component, we need to also consider famous. they all false way, if you, par, archive,

inclusion. then you won't have famous. 3 considerations. one has to have when integrated into an athlete as inclusion as famous and safety, but focusing only on inclusion is not the way forward. just coming up to ha ha 6 here in moscow that brings you up to date. that's how the uses looking so far this saturday we're back again and tuesday, the 13th ah join me every thursday on the alex solomon shore, but i'll be speaking to guess with the world of politics, sport, business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. mm. ah.

i ah, i'm after dancing, we're going undergrad. 24 hours of to you as secretary of state antony blinking, met with russian foreign minister, sergey lavelle over ukraine in geneva, falling president jo biden's, threats against russia in a week of u. k. p. m. boards, johnson sending weapons to the former soviet nation. well, this is so called mainstream media declares johnson's premise ship, all but over after alleged corona, virus restriction violations in the country with one of the highest cove death

tolls in the world will who better to join me now for a special edition of the show from here in london is filmmaker and legendary journalist john pilcher. thanks sean for coming back on the showed lots of cove it about so it has to be remote this time, you know, one johnson critic said it to be like al capone's being done for tax evasion. but headlines all over the world view k b m bars. johnson, a apparently relaxing restrictions amongst the west death numbers in western europe sent troops to ukraine. and apparently is korea's over. what's your take on all of this hubbub here in westminster? well, it's just that is how bob around westminster political reporter in this country and, and i'm the largest states as low as is based around the parliament. it's narrow focus of what parliament on santa,

i never understand what the tories, why the tories are complaining about the bbc. because if you watch the bbc, all it does is report, parliament seldom reporting the wider issues. so what we've had in this country is, or i great deal of her and, ah, auntie johnson, the staff he deserves every bit of it, of course. but it's focused almost entirely on him. and on understandably, on the, the scandals of parties and downing street when downey's faith was, was telling the country to, uh, to lock down. but, you know, always scandals ah, earlier for sod, for serious wall making. and that's what's happening in, ah, certainly in the ukraine at the moment. and it's is probably one of the most

distorted stories i can ever remember. i mean, 1st of all, if you look at the russian was, who was said to be the aggressors. and about a 1000000 base russian troops are actually in russia. ah, u. s. miss, isles, surround, ah, russia and british troops on the borders of russia, nato troops, or on the borders of russia. nato troops surround russia from slovenia all away down. so the, the aggression, the potential aggression appears to be almost certainly on one side. but it's, it's never a quarter that way. ah, and that's why propaganda is so important. to my luck. we've had nothing but propaganda or russia about to invade it, go straight back to the old cold war when the russians.
