i really a market as a private arena, a world where a single company controls the distribution of all day. the products and the infrastructure of our economy is loose. the world, according to amazon blue, recently notified congress of our intent to deliver and 17 helicopters off to the latest round of the escalation to the us, joins other nato member sites in ramping up supplies of weapons. the key of what sells russia to pull back its own fruit from its border with ukraine, roddy against cobra, restrictions of breaking out across europe with anger in france over vaccine mandates. and across the shoreline, britain, there all protests against mandatory jobs for health, with medical experts, appeal for the international olympic committee to toughen rules about transgender athletes. saying they have an unfair advantage in women sports. we speak to one of

the scientists behind the complaint with the i is he's trying to do is focus on inclusion and i think that is fine, but they all schools we if you are our ties inclusion, then you won't have famous blog from oscar. thanks for joining us tonight, and i'll change to ashland. daniel hawkins. wherever you are this hour. welcome to the program. and i to members have place to send more lethal weapons to ukraine with washington confronting plans to send military helicopters to key if 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 is delivered more security assistance to ukraine in the last year than any point history. and these deliveries are ongoing, including today there's more deliveries coming. we recently notified congress of our intent to deliver am 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, 100 tons of lethal arms in just the legs a shipment, estonia, latvia, lithuania, have all to voice 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, estonia, latvia and lithuania, and the allies of working together expeditiously to hand over security assistance to ukraine, this 8 will further enhance ukraine's capability to defend its 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 more than 2000 guided missiles supplied by the united kingdom alone via skype bridge, endless military cargo flights 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 is the new cray that poland with 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 native states. 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 on the huge pressure from certain native member states. you 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 own of sholtes has also been invited to the united states by biden, reportedly he refused saying that he has other responsibilities to attend to. but that the, the, this is stand off continues at this point. as you mentioned, at the united states is called in russia to remove its troops from its own soil

near you crate to move them out when russia. at the same time, nato troops are arriving in again record her 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 justified with 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, in key of said to, to vap, seek a military solution to the crisis and in east and ukraine. so certainly no end to the stand off inside. the german navy chief has been forced to apologize for admitting that crimea is now part of russia and proposing to stop demonizing that. and you're putting those comments at a conference in india, drawn of frantic response from mainstream media and those online putting pressure

on it because he can do it. it is easy to get him the respect, he also gives us okay, caught me up and got another come. this is that's on believable. it's already financing parts of the navy, vice admiral k. all come shown. bark must be recalled immediately. fire him, a navy chief must not play his own foreign policy game in a crisis. clearly vice admiral shaun bach thought he was off the record, but he was also fundamentally wrong on prospects of appeasing russia. vice admiral playing down the russian favor rattling this is a shocking statement since crimea was annexed by russia. it almost sounds like carte blanche pretend. all of us admiral now call few statements, a mistake off germany's defense minister. you said his words do not reflect its

official position. the crimea is still bonnet, crime, and remnants consistently pointed out, the prince voted overwhelmingly in a referendum to reunify with russia. independent journalists agree by says outraged with the command as remarks follows a predictable pattern. of course, it can't be accepted that the one of the 3 most important really treat in bonus. fear says such a thing. probably it didn't know he was being recorded, but you hear this very much in the corridors of nato. are off the think tanks gravitating around? they took people are realistic, they know, of course that treatment will never go back to ukraine. i mean, it, it, rejoined russia. everybody knows that it is fresh and somehow so that the rest, the official declarations. and that is the reality. again, this admiral settled so that russia own strengthens its neighbors to keep them in the russian sphere of influence. it's operated,

i to be naive to say that but ease nato pro russia is simply a relation he understands. put up what happens about ukraine, and it is very important to have demonstrations against code restrictions of a rap that in major cities across europe this weekend. the french are outraged for requirements for every one i was 16 to show proof of i don't collation to enter public places one and griffin. people want the recent removal of pandemic roles to extend international health service stuff in our stay in london and shawna davinsky in paris are on the ground floor procession that just passed me is one of several that are taking place across the city today. as well as many others taking place a cost front. 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 bars even now being able to go and trains between different regions. now the protesters i've spoken to say that, you know, this is strict in away their rights as citizens, and they, not the only ones that are concerned about this is also m. p, 's and senators, who all said that they all against this idea of vaccine mandate, and there 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 fraud. so we're the covey 19 restrictions, but they were reinvigorated just a few weeks ago when president macklin gave

a highly controversial interview in not he said, and these are his words, not mine, that he wanted to be 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 passed as 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 at the moment these vaccine passes? don't work, they infringe on our freedom being micron has created a sanitary dictatorship, all 3 democracy, medical to new obscurity, joy, so buckle, dawn. people aren't happy. we took to the streets for our freedom. every one is protesting in france to day. bobby, i am against mandatory vaccination. well, this is a question of freedom to work. look, go outside for a coffee to a museum. the one i didn't know what corner is faded. we must respect fundamental

freedoms in good mandatory vaccination and the vaccine pos, trample on our freedom. it is very important to protest today and be here to go know the idea of this vaccine means now that with these new restrictions, people are going to be pushed into either going to get vaccinated or. so i think in thinking that you, not the sense i got from the process to pay today is that that's what they want to do. and they will continue to refuse to have that job growth premium day is very much upon us here in the united kingdom. as all pretty good restrictions are to be listed and you think of the 10s 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 fooled by the government. simple 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 process of just walking. but it's getting so close to me losing my job. yeah. and i agree,

and i'm sad. we should have that funded mental choice to decide what we put in the stuff, not just the front my work, but also the reception i have it will be i don't have any just 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, they say it's my body. my choice is not really, i should be the crux of all government policy, not today's protest is in conjunction and connection with various approaches across europe. and ultimately what my role calling for is mass non compliant. it all comes here in the united kingdom as the default nation, the somewhat say gamma, cautious approach to how they deal with these, prove it restrictions of whether or not they should be lifted just yet. in fact, the world's prime minister. he believes the force johnson giving this to distract

on and western and 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 problem in says created for himself, and that's what i believe lies behind the announcements that we've seen this week. i've called that lock drake, referring to the party, gave john to look her up to 3, westminster in recent months. all those allocations of number 10, downing street coffee is as far as johnson is very much self employed and they say it's time for me to go. however, many people here in the united kingdom proven relate to say, bar is time to go. because of course, many people say it's too soon to list all 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, on the chrome buried being detected by the u. k. health security agency saying it's

a barriers on the investigation. and as we know, the number of private table was still reaching over a 100000 every single day. we know it's much more transmissible around us, even every infection risk as well. however, many protests here today, so the other com variance is nothing more than just the common flu and should flu really be a reason to disrupt freedom. while the world health organization is recommending countries now lift cobra related travel restrictions after admitting the rules of failed to limit the spread of the virus advise come the spot record go into virus infection rates being reported would be almost one strain. the failure of travel restrictions to limit the international spread of own. the crone demonstrates the ineffectiveness of such measures. over time, the committee identified the following actions as critical for all countries lift or ease international traffic balance. as they contribute to the economic and social stress experienced by the state parties,

some nation's notary in europe are already easing barrels. that governments removing covert passports and mandatory face coverings and public places. a set republic has abandoned a mandatory inoculation scheme for those over 60 and workers in certain sectors. and sweden will drop requirements for proof of a negative cobra test for foreign travelers. we discussed the apparent changes in the global approach to the pandemic with our guess. when you manage any sort of ad room viruses, vaccines are just one of many tools. so in an ideal world, you know, you have well ventilated workplace is you well, and i see it schools and the british government of talked in policy terms about, well ventilated spaces for last year, if not longer and therefore you do get this lack of trust because on the public don't trust government because on the one on the saying we are trying to protect

you know, the hand we're not offering them. so it seems all therefore, to only be talking about the vaccine in terms of mandation and actually lois trust . the vaccine still guarantees that you will have a weaker attack of a covert and that you are less likely to contaminate others. it is not perfect that it's a defense, almost all people now who hospitalized in france, 90 percent of people hospitalized in front of people who not been vaccinated, but taking up hospital beds. and i see you the resources that mean that some other patients in france cannot have operations even great pathology such as cancer . 2 because everything is taken up in hospitals or almost have capacity, it is true to say from a nature study, we noticed very clearly that those who have been vaccinated within 3 months have antibody levels which are low and actually are not protected against spreading the virus. so unless everyone repeatedly gets the vaccine every 3 months,

we're not taking well vaccine to stop spread and taking the vaccine doesn't stop spread, so not respects vaccine pass. it's are ineffective and do not work. so why they're being mandated, why the health system itself would be further penalized, whatever is the reasoning behind that is not scientific, it's not based on the evidence and it's proved to be highly ineffective measure, which is in fact lucky to make people react against vaccination. president mac or hope to be re elected in 80 days time, and he knows perfectly well that you will have the support of the surety you have almost 90 percent support with mandatory vaccination, the vaccine pulse. i haven't got sort of such high figures every french child before going to primary school to kindergarten has 11 mandatory vaccines, again, tv against polio, against a curio status, et cetera. and it's, it's, it's an, it's passed into, into sort of french uses. in the 1st instance, it was an outlandish claim to say that this was like, sloop,

it was not true. it's all. and in fact, we could criticize our governments of being lacks, in the public health measures. now that you know that the impact of it in the well developed countries, how it involves vaccination program with people who wanted vaccination of taken ups is very different. and i do feel it is time know to relax restrictions on the nation because of the only people i see benefiting from vaccine mandates. all these pharmaceutical companies, no one else is benefiting from. and i think we genuine the are in this together. we need to make sure that we share the vaccine patients and how those countries to build the infrastructure and get back to roll out to the global solution. a disturbing and unprecedented sent back for international space corporation as the u . s. refuses a visa or russian cosmonaut bias training. we've got reaction from the russian space agency. she found the follicles along with the stories after this break with

ah ah mm. of those with

things we dare to ask ah, welcome back. at 8 national olympic communities, new rules for transgender athletes of spot control, the sink, medical experts on sports. she says that they promote unfair competition in women's events. and your regulations come into effect after the beijing winter olympics next month, and would not require transgender athletes to lower that are still throwing levels to compete in women's events. these an actual olympic committee is also cooling on sports organizations to prevent gender based discrimination. according to one of the scientists behind, they appealed to the io see, to start their own plays

a crucial role in the performance. so an athlete i think what sport needs to do is have criteria on which they can base levels of markers like to start thrown to a certain level to allow performance. that is, i think, you know, in the views of those who wrote the framework, i be probably the only ones who believe that to start strand 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 factors, and probably the best one that we have at the moment. all the new rules about transgender athletes come off the several high profile cases, new zealand, waiting. if the laurel hubbard became the 1st friends in the female for the part in

a big last year. recently american cottage from lee at thomas dominated passport with record breaking performance is despite undergoing hormone suppression therapy . according to the international olympic committee, the new rules will promote a fair and welcoming environment, but yanez spilled, status warns they could undermine the credibility of competitive sport. i think what he's trying to do is focus on, on inclusion, being the primary fact to be considered. 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, transgender and the athletes as inclusion, as famous and safety. compet focusing only on inclusion is not the way forward.

americans, refusal with alex explanations abroad. a russian goes more to visa has been criticized as a chilling an unprecedented setback for international space cooperation and travel . nikolai true boys scheduled to spend 5 weeks at masses space, central texas to familiarize himself with the american segment till the international space station. without the exercises, he will be able to fly to the i s s forcing a complete change in his training. the head of the russian space agency points out washington on expected move puts the very work over the i s s at risk. it never occurred to us to refuse a visa to any us astronaut who was heading to star city to prepare for a space flight. what the u. s. authorities have done with our cosmo ups entry. visa is a dangerous precedent for cooperation on the international space station and a statement the u. s. embassy in moscow to try to maintain a positive tone, saying they do their best to issue baez's and appreciate cooperation. but saw

refuse to provide a reason for the rejection and experienced russian cosmonaut under what isn't called. told archie, with this move international assess cruz can no longer function as a team at the beautiful. this is certainly a wrong decision on the part of our foreign colleagues training shit. your disruption of finance does not on the training on them as soon as the many questions arise about how to carry out the next edition or how it would be possible to act in an emergency situation, successfully international crew, the single team on board station, russian of foreign crew members cannot train all the procedures separately or the mystery of surrounding us running the death of sex offender in finance said jeffrey epstein has taken a new turn. he seems u. s. federal documents showing the report of his 1st suicide attempt was heavily reacted with his own account to the incident and tiny blanks out. with more details, he is donny armstrong, the life and death of jeffrey epstein,

billionaire and prolific peter file as a subject mired in mystery. and manipulation, the official account of his apparent suicide while held in a notorious new york lock up on charges of child sex trafficking, will seemingly be forever murky with regard to his adjustment to a correctional setting. mr. epstein receive one incident report, one and federal bureau, prison custody for self mutilation. on july the 23rd, 2019. as of august, the 15th 2019 incident report has been expunged, though it is in clear why it has been expunged, and whether mr. epstein knew this. so what exactly happened on july 23rd? a patchy paper trail provides more questions than answers. for instance, a doctor's report, officially locked and attempted suicide by asphyxiation, just hours after epstein was found semi conscious on his cell floor. however, epstein version of events is completely redacted from any records. what's more,

the report was amended exactly one week later to include the cause of the but suicide as self mutilation. a direct contradiction of the initial report which explicitly states no instances of self harm were found. epstein for his troubles was charged with violating prison rules and placed on suicide watch. if only for one day. that's the use pending a code to to 8 tattooing or self mutilation. and i spoke with who indicates that most likely he will be found competent because he is not mentally ill pending a disciplinary process which didn't call a single witness. not even epstein cellmate, the disgrace financier was banged up in solitary confinement and subjected to several psychological assessments. the general consensus was one of a picture of optimism who denied any suicidal thoughts at all. that's in stark contrast to later prism reports painting epstein as a solemn prisoner with

a poor attitude intent on taking his own life confused. well, you'd be forgiven. even the judge overseeing epstein's case demanded answers. one open question among others, is whether the investigations reference in your letter will include the incident at the metropolitan correctional center involving mr. epstein on or about july, the 23rd, 2019 to my knowledge. it has never been definitely explained what the federal bureau of prisons concluded about the incident. an internal report concluded that the self mutilation charge was warranted book at theme died before an executive decision could be made. so in the absence of any inquiry into july 25th aside from medical expertise detailing epstein's high spirits. the question to the american justice system is this, why was the report dotted and will concrete and says that have as yet proved elusive ever be on cove? it people are going to need answers. i think there are things that

a lot of the public wants answers to. but because from the very beginning, the epstein the death and some of the questions, the loop holes. you know, what happened with the guard? what happened with the cameras? you know, so much of this cover up so much of this. it's such an obvious spinning such an obvious narrative here. the more that we're going to keep trying to figure out, figure it out on our own. and that's just going to fuel more and more, you know, ideas about what happened and you will distrust more distress in our u. s. civilian legal or justice institutions. none of that trust is ever going to be repaired without any answers. so soon for the cause report in just a few moments time the team are back off on i would the very latest join us again on auto international ah

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 slain finger on you. you are doing it to yourself and we started adopting those techniques when i was stationed in 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 and 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 world leader. sacrifice for the shimmer of effective interrogation

. join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. i'll be speaking to guess of the world of politics. sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm ah. bash kaiser. this is the kaiser report. we're in elza de el salvador lapping up the luxury of the while. who else? salvatore? whether it's mountains and waves and big coin adoption, things are happening here. there's mountains, by the way. our volcanoes don't just say no one who want to be careful. one should also be careful of the hot lava in.
