friday, security talks with police, but it's enough to scroll through a couple of random pages to be sure. none of the provisions stand up to any critical analysis. in many cases, it is simply aligned with the top stories from the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments as well. this is the weekly and r t. hello and welcome a huge march against kobe restrictions as wrapped up in brussels. at least 50000 people took to the streets. several dozen were arrested during clashes. ah. as you can see, riot police were out in force deploying tear gas and water. kellen belgium already requires vaccine certificates for public venues,

3:06 pm
political climate. one example very much to the forefront today. germany's navy chief has had to resign, not to sing. crime is not part of russia, and not the west should stop demonizing vladimir putin, but his words spark to major diplomatic backlash. now europe corresponded peter oliver picks up the story, vice admiral t r. him shown by caused big shocks on saturday evening, as he stood down from his role as chief of the german navy. it follows comments that he made about the russian president vladimir burton and the ongoing tensions between russia, ukraine, and nato. following this fall out from what he said and everything revolving around it, he felt his position had become unattainable. i have just asked the federal minister of defense to release me from my duties as inspector of the navy with immediate effect. the foulest comments i made in the neon security and military policy are
3:07 pm
increasingly weighing on my office in order to prevent further damage to the german navy. i consider this a necessary step. the federal minister has accepted my request. well, it all relates the comments that shown by made while he was in india speaking to a defense think tank. he was speaking about crimea, which he said would remain part of russia also about the russian president. vladimir burton, who he said only wants respect and probably deserves respect is following russia because he can do it. it is easy to give him the respect he needs and also his us economy. appearance was gone, not to commit. this is the fact once the video became public, there was outcry from sections of society saying they had shown by hand to go more than an embarrassment what the german maybe commander says here on the label. utterly unacceptable, there must be consequences. but this is not the position of german foreign office
3:08 pm
vice admiral playing down the russian sabre rattling this is a shocking statement says crimea was annexed by russia. it almost sounds like god, blush for putting fire hen and navy chief must not play his own foreign policy. game in a crisis. clearly vice admiral shamrock thought he was off the record, but he was also fundamentally wrong on prospects of appeasing russia. ukraine is also not happy with what has gone on. in fact, the foreign ministry in t f is calling on germany to officially distance themselves from their fall. that navy chief and what he taught to say they saying that these comments went on to undermine the sovereignty of ukraine. the foreign minister there calling them on acceptable. but this is just the latest issue that we've seen very recently between kiev and berlin just last week. there were problems over the fact that berlin doesn't want to send weapons into ukraine. also, germany has blocked the sale of
3:09 pm
a stony and weapons that were german made to ukraine. this su concerning the now former navy chief, just the latest and what's becoming a growing number of problems. we spoke to journalist and author, thomas foss, bender his shirt, his view about the german vice admiral's comments on crimea. of course, the year, the leadership, the john political leadership and the media are concerned about the fact that within the rank and file off the government of the army or are, and among the population. there is this common sense understanding that crimea will remain within russia and that there is, there is this common understanding that whatever mr. poodle did, over the last 20 years, or whether it's against i saw a for us, whether we like it or not in command, deserves a certain level of respect. so i would say the fact that that a provoke the anger was that this was not that he doesn't not represent
3:10 pm
a solitary and individual opinion here. but rather why did distributed one that you get this feeling over the last weeks, not only among the population. there was always a strong consensus in terms of good relations with russia, but among the countries leadership, the leading media that there are a certain initiatives that say, well, it's not site to strongly here with one side in this conflict. and people understand that the ukraine is not the model democracy that we have to defend, that germany has to defend at all costs that this is by a, by and large, an effort to a project you as power right up to the, to the russian border. and the extent to which germany wants to support such an effort by the u. s. g of politicians as not meet consensus here in this country. and yet another way of accusations against russia, the british foreign office has said it's got evidence of a plot to install
3:11 pm
a pro moscow government in key if russia has slammed the claim as not just the misinformation spread by the british. foreign office is more evidence that it is the nato countries lead by the anglo saxons, thus escalating tensions around ukraine. recall and the british foreign office to stop provocative activities, stop spreading nonsense and concentrate on studying the history of the taught among will yoke. the british government has so far provided no evidence to back its claim or by russian plot in ukraine. but london has named former ukrainian m p u f. kenny mariah a potential pro crimson candidate. he's expressed surprise about that pointing out that he's been banned from russia since 2018 r t sent a request to the british foreign office, asking them to clarify their allegations. we also talked to andrea cassandra, that political risk consultant on lawyer. he thinks the allegations stem from london's own political crisis, brittle left you on some time ago,
3:12 pm
and it's 6 for its place in the world. we know that the global writ written project appears to be a false. here we know that the current, the, or is johnson is having a very serious trouble. and in my opinion, what the british government is doing through the british intelligence is to why mean to see its place within the u. s. framework to contain russia? also, we have to bear in mind, at least truss is aiming to step into boys. johnson shoes is a big advantage for her to go in february and one long time to rush and portray her so as it totally reads. but a leader who gave a suit up to kremlin and to put in so this all the politics within the tory party and national politics in the u. k. so yes, it is
3:13 pm
a destruction and it's not only the u. k, which moscow believes as bog down and fake news, just hours ahead of security. talk last friday. the u. s. state department outline what it cited as examples of russian dis, information versus foreign minister was critical of both the content and this timing it zoom or you go to rosa for the lease documents, which the u. s. state department has of course prepared deliberately for today's meeting. a simply impossible to read. it's enough to scroll through a couple of random pages to be sure, none of the provision stand up to any critical analysis. in many cases, it is simply a lie. will additionally, in response to russia has drawn up its own fact checking list and accused at washington of a toxic campaign against russian ortiz. murat garcia has been comparing the 2 stances. you may have seen this list of fantastic expos. they have russian
3:14 pm
fiction. that's a good read, bo print and a world painted, and black and white simplified, pre digestive than regurgitated russians. bad moroccans good liter does not in circle russia. nato enlargement is not directed against russia. over the last 20 years old nato coalition potential has been amassed on its east and flank. the lances expansion towards russian borders is accompanied by the creation earned modernization of military infrastructure. russia has 60 neighbors in the ninety's. only one of those was the nato state. that it became to poland joint, then it became 5 with ukraine and ga, potentially joining. that would be 7 with all the perks that carries like us bases and troops. pray tell how is that not the dictionary definition of encirclement?
3:15 pm
russia uses statement from high level officials, as well as disinformation and propaganda outlets to intentionally spread outright falsehoods, to attempt to create a pretext for military action. we all know how the u. s. uses differ information to create a pretext for invading independent states. the irony seems lost entirely on the us state department. we still remember collin bow, right. sadam. hussein has not verifiably accounted for even one teaspoonful of this deadly material. the chief of the state department. whether of all around 2 decades ago, lying to the world, about saddam's weapons of mass destruction. and setting the stage for the invasion of iraq, which killed an estimated half a 1000000 people. because i don't believe that russia has come close to that level of misinformation. there are no credible reports of any ethnic
3:16 pm
russians or russian speakers been under threats from the ukrainian government violations of the right self. the multi 1000000 russian speaking population in ukraine have reached an enormous level, the government dobbs a discriminatory laws on language education and so called indigenous peoples driving the russian language. out of all the spheres of life, ukraine is not that democratic paradise. the washington portrays it to be and is one of the most corrupt countries in the world, say various reports, a country where the leaders of the 2 biggest opposition parties are right now, being prosecuted and persecuted, a say to keep them out of power. a country where opposition media has been forced to shut down one after the other or attacked without any sort of international reaction. ethnic russians are no longer recognized as native residents. the
3:17 pm
russian language, the native language of a 3rd of the ukrainian population. as now forbidden and schools and government in coffee shops in supermarkets. yes, russians in ukraine are very much the de finish it of persecuted. nato never promised not to admit new members. on the 9th of february 1990 u. s. secretary of state, james baker said, during the meeting with the soviet foreign minister, edward shivered. not say about the ironclad guarantees that nato jurisdictions and military units won't move an inch eastwood. it's a sorry world where, where russians know what the state department said better than the state department . the shame, the director of the cia robert gates famously warned against the expansion of nato because and i quote, gorbachev's and others were led to believe that that wouldn't happen. west german
3:18 pm
foreign minister hantz did that again ship and i quote, this is to a large crowd. nato should rule out any expansion of its territory towards the east moving it closer to the soviet borders. i have much more just not enough time, but it is remarkable how a document that sets out a fight rush and this information bathes and basks in so many lies of it so on. you may not be surprised to hear that r t as well, has become a target of u. s. accusations. the state department has released the report insisting that this channel and fellow news outlet. sputnik use disinformation, instead of supporting mainstream narratives. the report even accuses russian media of betraying ukraine as a nazi state. and to back that up, it mentions an article written for r t by historian paul robinson ish. in fact,
3:19 pm
what the article actually says problem here is not that the government is a fascist johnson. that is clearly an enormous exaggeration. despite restrictions on the use of the russian language and the recent repression of some anti government meter personalities. ukraine remains a rose, be free and open society. it's not remotely fascist. an article i wrote in which i actually say that the idea about ukrainian government is fascist, is an enormous exaggeration. and that ukraine is not remotely fascist. is specifically what i say in the article. and yet this article is linked to in the state department report as evidence r t is spreading the false narrative that ukraine is a fascist state as the article in fact as the lead direct opposite. and then there's more similar sort of statements on the next page about something else. the
3:20 pm
story about a boy who was killed in rebel occupied don't bass on the russian press, reported bad time. he'd been killed by ukrainian drone. the state department report says that the o s. c. investigated and stated that the boy was not killed by a drug and event provides a link to the o. s c e report. but when you go to and you can read what the o s c said, this does not say that the boy was not killed by a drug. it simply states that the boy was killed by shrapnel and bloss injuries. so the statement in the state department report, b o s c e said that is in totty untrue. now as the u. s. calls for russia to pull back its troops on the ukrainian border. the 1st shipment of washington's $200000000.00 military aid package arrived in kiev on saturday. i would note that the united states is delivered more security assistance to ukraine in the last year
3:21 pm
than any point in history. these deliveries are ongoing, including today there's more deliveries coming. we recently notified congress of our 10 to deliver and 17 helicopters, other nato members, estonia lottery, and if you any pledge to send more lethal weapons to strengthen ukraine's ability to defend itself in case of a russian invasion, russia has repeatedly denied planning any kind of military offensive germany meanwhile doesn't support sending weapons to ukraine, saying it will not help the fuse, the crisis key. evan response accuse berlin of undermining the unity between nato allies. even going as far as to accuse germany of encouraging and invasion. burly in claims arms exports will only push tensions higher. 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. meanwhile,
3:22 pm
local authorities in the self proclaimed done yes, correct. public claim. iran, 120000 ukrainian soldiers have gathered on the border civilians and the war torn region have been living in fear for more than 7 years already. and now it seems their lives might be at even greater risk due to the escalating tensions. the former us marine corps intelligence officers sculptured or spoke to our, to you earlier. he believes washington's arms export to ukraine or culture productive and undermine security. if you don't leave a weapons in the united states, that opens up joe biden to criticism from congress at a time when he needs congressional support for domestic programs. so you know where, where we're seeing, here's the consequences of allowing your foreign policy, your national security policy to be hijacked by domestic little concerned. the fact that tony blinking his meeting with lab rob to discuss a diplomatic off ramp for the current crisis. at the same time,
3:23 pm
the united states is green lighting of the delivery of weapons for the sole purpose of killing russians. because you don't have deterrence, unless you have a real capability, it's totally counterproductive and it undermines the american position when they say, hey, you know, we won't allow nato to join for years. you don't need to worry about what's the difference between a ukraine that's a member of nato receiving western military aid and ukraine, who's not a member of nato receiving western military from the russia perspective. there is no difference. okay, now the story that came out this week, the wealth of the world's richest people doubled during the pandemic, while the pur suffered increased death rates and poverty due to a lack of treatment on faxing. those are the findings of a report by ox, from called inequality kills. the chara, t claims policy choices by governments are skewed in favor of the rich,
3:24 pm
the wealth of the world's 10 riches men. his double to the pandemic began the income of 99 percent of humanity, a worse off because of coven 19. this is not by chance, but choice. economic violence is perpetrated when structural policy choices are made for the richest and most powerful people. this causes direct. com to us all the time they make has really expose been a call. it is an fuel them. so ox. i'm have been tracking billionaire wealth for some time. and of course the full list shows that it has been growing over the last 40 years. but over the last 2 years, it's been really exponential, so we call it a billionaire bonanza. and at the other end of the spectrum, of course, for 99 percent of humanity, it's been a very, very difficult time. and most people are worse off as a result of the and then of course, more than a 160000000 people have fallen into poverty during this time. and it's in a moment when you can see the differences really showing very,
3:25 pm
very starkly can't cause success. when there is such disparity, that at one end of the spectrum, you have people who have more wilson, they can spend in several lifetimes. and the other we have people struggling to pay their next health bill or, or not knowing where the next meal is coming from. having such a level of disparity affects everyone, even the wealthiest, because you know it's a sign of unhealthy state of affairs, of a unhealthy society that needs addressing. yeah, really some staggering figures here, according to ox from cove, it's pushed more than a 160000000 people into poverty. while they allege and estimated 17000000 lost their lives directly to, to the virus and runs 6000000 more. died due to a lack of health care and per countries mean off the top 10 people on forbes rich list, including well known public figures such as eli musk. jeff pays off,
3:26 pm
and bill gates have 6 times more money down the purse, 3000000000 people on this planet combined. but while they double their wealth, the income of 99 percent of the world's population worse and since the pandemic began, new billionaire has been created roughly 3 day years. the executive director of oxygen. again, one of those key drivers for inequality has been a vaccine access to vaccines. so the difference between rich and poor countries has grown the inequality. so and the forest countries in africa and generally only 10 percent of the population has had his 1st course of vaccination america. economic power and several other countries in the world can help reverse that from unlocking that and from the calculations that, that we have made. it would be possible for example, to vaccinate the whole world to achieve and health care for all the universal
3:27 pm
health care and their ways. and, and others have campaigned for lifting those intellectual property rights. that in fact, mean that pharmaceutical have a monopoly over corporate vaccines that are not readily available or produced as, as, as, as they could all over the world. ah, armenian president, arman circus. he has announced his resignation after 4 years in office. in a statement published on his website, sir cassie unsaid. the decision was not influenced by emotion. he explained that he quote, doesn't have been necessary instruments to influence the countries domestic and foreign policy. the president had been under intense pressure since the 2020 were with us or by john and the disputed in the corner. cut back region, a p. steel between your van on buck who led to months of protests in armenia and the rest within the government. of the height of that deadly conflict. in october
3:28 pm
2020, we managed to speak exclusively with mister sir kissy, and he told us his top priority was always to protect human life. you can never simplify the complex politics, you can never simplify human behavior. i think the human lives are priority number one in any. well, if you ask me personally for me, human life is the most important thing. and if we're thinking about resolving caught a book issue or any conflict, i think what you have to put as an access to this solution or a process is the human life. and it doesn't matter the age, the race, the calorie, or your scheme or your religion. what is the absolute value is the human human life? not to something i certainly didn't know much about being a child genius. but our documentary,
3:29 pm
the price of success certainly does. on ah ah, your may i am i yes, the order the see if i can now. alyssa, typical. there's only 9, but already a university students should well be the most famous and talked about child in russia. now i think i am. lisa's brothers and sisters are way ahead in their studies to some might even try to get into the university earlier. my daughter was only one when they took off the news. i had to wonder if give to children with a product, a very early studies, or just had a natural gift coach. you should you teach chemistry to a 4 year old. and what about other people who has kids were so far ahead of other
3:30 pm
children their age? are they more successful now? to seek an answer i met some child prodigy and adults who had been described as prodigies. don't local choose to snable to call them, but don't you know, but the actual only thing that i feel clear thought under sure freedom which is questioning to direct them. when is the sketch put that in the meeting? the open enrollment coach give that away means national robot if that sounds good in that paper billing. okay. so it seems a new months when the lip lip develop the glass doors to deal with or get started with the previous teacher was all reason is released from going up a block of have 7 children. so getting them all dressed, they're ready to go for a walk is a challenge. they don't use babysitters or.
