a robot must protect its own existence. with awe, nato announces its bolstering its presence in eastern europe. moscow. 7 say that won't hesitate to respond while the alliance is build up in ukraine continues and tensions over the post thought he had state. all right, the highest all nato talks of the thing is 4th is in the east. more than a 100 russian warships take to the see that the thoughts of major naval exercises and wicked expanded julie, nathan's wins the right to appeal to the u. k. supreme court to prevent his expedition to the us on espionage charges. the ruling has been welcomed by his family and supporters. what happened in court today precisely what we wanted to

happen, but we are far from achieving justice in this case because julian has been incarcerated for so long and he should not have spent a single day in prison with hello and welcome to dorothy international with the latest news from around the world is great to have you with us. at the us sound, it's nato allies have started a series of navy drills in the mediterranean sea. the 12 day neptune strike exercises come a phase of a conflict in ukraine, although they haven't been directly linked to that try this. we can cross live to our teeth, pizza all the but in berlin our piece a great to see you have quite a surgeon activity from ne, so they're also sending extra weaponry to eastern europe. could you bring us up to date, please? that's right. we've got major military drills underway in the mediterranean,

involving the u. s. navy, the u. s. s. harry truman aircraft carrier, involved in knows it's worth pointing out these particular war games that are underway. they weren't listed on the official schedule of what was going to be getting underway. however, the u. s. navy, being very quick to point out that as far as they're concerned, this has nothing to do with the situation that's unfolding in eastern europe regarding russia, ukraine, nato, and all of the tensions under way there. what we have seen though, on monday, is a promise to increase the presence of nato forces in the east of europe. that's come from nato. amanda's denmark, the netherlands from san spain, as well. they've all promised the military hardware in the form of war, ships, or aircraft, or in the form of personnel moving eastwards. what we have seen though, is a response from the russian presidential spokesperson, particularly to the announcement. so the new nato troops moving eastwards and

bowers u. s. navy war games that are underway, the presidential spokesperson in moscow saying that they're paying close attention to what's happening. such nato actions and increase nato activity. now borders cannot be ignored by a military who are responsible for the security of our country. there is a constant process of drills, maneuvers, and military build up, which has never stopped and will continue. all this all comes as a new foreign ministers are currently meeting in brussels earlier. it was understood we, well, well, the united states and the united kingdom pulled their either members of the stuff for the families of members of stuff from the embassies in ukraine. and we heard from the chief foreign policy, a commissioner jo separate burrell, he said that as it stood at the moment, there was no intention for e. u embassies to do the same just yet. i don't think we had

a time at large as far as the negotiation going on sunday and going on. i don't think that we had to let to train and fan leave. they're all split among nato allies when it comes to what to do with nate. so when it comes to what to do with regards to russia and ukraine, we've seen a lot of pressure placed upon germany, where the chancellor all f schultz has said that berlin won't be sending weaponry to ukraine. now, neighbours, such as those in the baltic, states have been saying they should be stepping up and doing a lot more or less shots, remaining firm on this one thing they won't be offensive weapon re sent from germany. what he has said though, is that should there be an invasion of ukraine that there would be serious consequences of from i fees also said the journey will continue to send medical aid to ukraine. it will also continue to step up its ariel surveillance for nato based

out of bases in romania. meanwhile, all the senior political figures in germany have been talking about what's going on market though to the leader of the state of bavaria, said you must go see with russia not as an enemy in everything, but we must reject aggression and avoid escalation. nobody wants a war in europe. in doing so, the territorial integrity and independence of ukraine under international law must be respected, but constant new threats and never tougher sanctions against russia alone cannot be the solution. on the one end because sanctions have had little effect for a long time. and on the other hand, because these new sanctions would often harmless, just as much. meanwhile, in kiev, the ukrainian president floating me as lensky has been addressing a gathering of foreign intelligence offices. he told them it is time for that particular branch to move from the defensive onto an offensive for thing.

we have learned to effectively contain and counteract external aggressions. i am sure it is time to move on to offensive actions to defend our national interests. while bell russian president, alexander lucas, shank, i said he's been watching the situation closely. that's unfolding and response will be moving it all me contingent of better russian forces to his countries. so the border, it is all unfolding at the moment. i'll be keeping a close eye on what comes out of that e. u foreign ministers meeting in brussels. if there's any new information from there, i'll bring it to you here on our team. i appreciate that. thank you very much. that's all these piece. oliver. now will ships one bushes, both cleats have set sail at the thought of a major naval exercise at the jewels designed to practise actions needed to protect russia. national interests and the council military threats to the states from the see, a total of $140.00 war ships all set to take part from

a foreign minister of india, commerce, the bar believe europe is not in control of its own fates right now as the us is that the wheel? i think this is playing with the goal question is the expansion of nato. do you agree? and if that problem is revolved everything else falls in place, and i am always surprised why finland and sweden would remain out of natal during the whole war when the soviet union was very strong. and is one of the front of the world and continue to be outside the door. why can't there be an understanding around ukraine? why is the west, especially the united states pushing for grant's membership of natal knife on this? there can be a fundamental in understanding. then i think the best of what is happening is totally unnecessary. and what is surprising is that europe is not in control of his

destiny. it is united states is domestic politics that are pushing for a confrontation of what you claim, not the thing is that in actual war is inconceivable. all will control the escalation that night, the site gap and it'll be devastating. so i am 100 percent sure. i doesn't want to war and i don't think you missed or you want more either. so this kind of need less muscle fixing by what you're going by needle is only in venoms the situation makes it more difficult to the law. ultimately, you have to have political negotiations on the basis of equality and mutual security. and that is the core of the issue and go over well, no more british media outlets saw increasingly blaming russia for alleged aggression against ukraine as the foreign office named a former ukranian m. p as a pro ration candidate that the kremlin wants to replace the current president.

moscow say, is the accusations all nonsense and accused the u. k. governments of intentionally escalating tensions? ortiz donald quarter has the story, a big claim from the british foreign office, but not a shred of evidence put forward to back it up at the end of its midnight embargo. the tale of an apparent russian plot to install a puppet government and key of made its way across british headlines. and some of its details were more than fishy enough to raise a few eyebrows. confusion over you. kate claimed that potent plants, coo and ukraine, foreign office claim of plot to instill pro masika government and cave comes with scant detail. it's unclear what means britain believes russia might use to install a friendly government in chief. the u. k. government made the claim based on an intelligence assessment without providing evidence to back it up. the u. k. foreign offices press release had more than a few inconsistencies take him. danny mariah, former ukrainian m. p,

he cited as moscow's potential candidate to replace the current president vladimir zalinski, except more i of his, on russia's sanctions list on top of that, his party failed to even past the last parliamentary elections. 5 percent threshold . this guy's not exactly poised to take the country by storm and seizing his property. sure was an interesting way of appointing him head of the future occupation. you have made my evening. the british foreign office seems confused. i've been under russian sanctions since 2018 due to a conflict with victrum. edward shook. my family's assets are frozen. there had the united kingdom, secret services and foreign office can square that with russia, supposedly wanting to make me the head of an occupation government. that's the question for mister bean. london's not just spreading questionable stories about modern ukraine though the day before the story broke and added to the hysteria of russian invasion fantasies. the u. k. foreign secretary liz trusts, gave

a speech praising ukraine for its resilience against invasions of the past. we urge president painted to desist and step back from ukraine before he makes a massive strategic mistake. ukraine is a proud country with a long history. they have known invading forces before from the mongols to the tosses. unfortunately for trust though, she also demonstrated a lack of understanding of the region history. the mon goals and tars were one in the same invasion force, often referred to as the tar tar mongol yoke. so when she says from one to the other, it's not exactly clear of what's in between for russians. diplomats mistakes like that are both laughable and disturbing. comical as these are now is not the time for laughing. we are witnessing the actual professional level of people who alongside making absurd statements. a providing ukraine with lethal weapons increase in the own military presence russian borders and encouraging care to further undermine the minsk agreements. well,

we have to look at the record and the intelligence services and how they use we had the debacle about the iraqi. was me surprised weapons of mass destruction, where you had fish and challenges services, alleging that the syrians have chemical weapons, when in fact it resist less fundament miss them. and recently we've had a terrible example of the withdrawal from i got a stone which are time ready. our position childhood services didn't vary what was going on, and therefore, before the ration but you have to look to what you know, what is she and versus interested in purchasing fast, to have instead of the, let's say, in the ukraine, always it and trust our mutual ukraine, which we had for 1991 to 2000. and jane, meanwhile,

authority in the self proclaimed republic from the dumbass region claimed care has deployed heavy rocket artillery at the border masses. they say more than $100000.00 ukranian soldiers are currently stationed in the area villages and towns and the republics have done yet. scans lugens capping showed for years from the other side of the border with thousands of people killed. lou ah, sometimes there is shooting that simplest county, but there are times when a continuously they go to the basement, you're in shooting. if i'm next to my house while on my way to school, and there are a shots i run home. if i'm near school, i can hide in the school basement youth more than 2 than i was born during the war and maybe i will die in the war. i don't know how to farmer it's painful and

insulting. you go to bed and wonder whether your house will be destroyed. mm . ah sir. shoeless. there are no shells flying here. you walk carefully, you run the household. what else can we do? digging for every day. there shannon us, the heat in the village. blue people are suffering, many of them have been known to this cause by the fighting. my husband died to the stroke during the hostilities. my son died in 2015 in combat. sh. well now to a developing situation in germany,

a gun man has opened fire in let a lecture hall at the university of heidelberg and during several people, the attacker was shot dead by a security officer. and there's a heavy police presence at the scene. so far, the suit as motives are unclear. we're keeping track of developments and will keep you updated. i still had julian sanchez, supporters are celebrating off the he's given the right to appeal against his expedition from the u. k to the us on that's the best short way to stay with ah, is you'll media a reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safer?

isolation for community. are you going the right way? where are you being led? so direct. what is true was, is great in the world corrupted. you need to descend her join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. join me every 1st day on the alex salmon show. but i'll be speaking to guess from the world of politics, sport, business. i'm show business, i'll see you then i

welcome back. we can leaks found a julianna's songs has won a bid to ask the u. k. supreme court to review a previous high court decision to extradite him to the u. s. he's wanted by washington on charges of espionage ortiz. shoddy edwards thirsty reports. now from outside, the court unison has been granted permission to take his case to the court. of course, that means that he can now appeal to us extra addition decision that was growing at the end of last year. we start with a much decision where the court ruled to overturn the previous decision not to expedite junior college. on the basis. it would be oppressive, considering how high a risk of suicide he may be if he was sent to the united states and held in cost center throughout the year. last year, the courts change their mind following a 2 day appeal. as the u. s. offered a packet is assurances add to the fact that he would not be held under maximum

security put conditions. in the last few minutes, we did hit the announcement and indeed, morris is the partner of the sergeant held this as a victory. what happened in court? today's precisely what we wanted to happen, but we are far from achieving justice in this case because julian has been incarcerated for so long and he should not have spent a single day in prison. as long as this case isn't dropped. as long as julian isn't free, julian continues to suffer for almost 3 years. he's been in belmore prison and he's suffering profoundly day after day. week after week, year after year. we also heard from the wiki lease editor and chief, he says again, this is a school victory. of course eunice, i'm still remains behind the put them down last prison. what we need for this case could be dropped entirely. that is, that is, that is the only real victory for or for journalism. for julian,

this is of course of the pro longed incarceration is already been for more than a 1000 days in belmont prison. we've always been protesting, vigorous to the fact that after the united states lost in the lower court, they were allowed to, to submit the so called up. so sort of assurances with, i mean it, it, the general's purpose perspective is just absurd. since the ruling in favor of the united states some months ago. so just team on the high port directly behind me to allow this case to be sent to the supreme court. now not all cases go to the supreme court. there must be an all people point of law and the case needs to have a public importance that now has been deemed a public importance. and the sanchez team were arguing those implications for the future of public interest reporting and the ability to defeat politically motivated cases. they argue that this case is absolutely politically motivated. we look

throughout the year last year, all of these reports of the cia plus to kidnap kill assassinate, a song spy on him. while he was pulled up in london, ecuadorian embassy. they argue this deems it a politically motivated case. and as we well know, under the u. k. u, as extradition treaty, nobody can be expedited on political grounds and that is indeed enshrined in that law in that treaty. then, of course, on the grounds of future reporting, many of us on to supported. i didn't, did a defense, they argue that the united states is simply making an example of june assange for revealing these legible crimes of documents relating to the war in iraq and afghanistan. mm. back a

with, ah, a. so what we see now is a decade long sog or illegal labyrinth of horror story. could you in a song? well, he goes through, back and forth, various court system here in the united kingdom. all of these protests is when they heard that announcement some few minutes ago. they all are opted into child saying free, free at eunice, orange. of course this isn't the end. he's still behind balls and there's still a long way to go for doing a song to try and fight against expedition to the united states. we spoke to alta

contributor richard med has to has been closely following the hearings. he thinks julia songs has a strong case full the supreme court. we have to be clear. it's not guaranteed that they'll take the case. i. 5 personally think that they will because this is a very important point of law. it basically is the united states, the requesting state, allowed to provide assurances after its last the case, you know, there being a sore loser, effectively because julian is on one is extradition battle in january 2021 fair and square. and then the united states provided assurances afterwards, they spend weeks arguing that you know, special administrative measures and these horrific conditions that they're going to put them in are fine. you know, they, they weren't convinced that this is the right way it's thing to do. and then once they lost the case there, they started providing these assurances. and this is what needs to be determined by the supreme court. if can a requesting state in an extradition give assurances to an appellate court to us to

an appeals court that were not given that were not provided in a magistrates court. so this isn't just important for julian assange. it's important for all extradition and it is 100 percent relevant to british common law and to the public. and we have to keep in mind that even if julian does end up free, he's not safe and other jurisdictions. if he steps foot in france or germany or anywhere else where the u. s. as an extradition treaty that could again start a new thing. so i, i really can answer that question, but i certainly hope that the supreme court will do the right thing. vaccine mandates have been causing havoc in canada has been hit by a supply chain disruptions due to a shortage of truckers software. a new job mandate job monday took effects applying to dr. is crossing to and from the us people flooded twitter with images of empty shelves all across canada. but one m p was quick to rebuff claims such a supply crisis exists. thank. he's personally seeing no evidence of any shortages

anywhere. not only is this picture not from canada, but i've been to grocery stores in my community and i've objectively observed no empty shelves. this is just another example of conservative misinformation and fear mongering for political gain. liberal members of parliament thing, there is no problem whatsoever. i went to a grocery store and look how best plan to plentiful it is. there's no pumpkins and i just had to retreat images that my own brother sent me from ontario to be affected. who are you going to trust me or your own eyes? you can feel it everywhere, although from what i'm told it's sort of worse outside of the big cities. well in response to the mandate which prevents on vac sound partially vox truckers crossing from the us into canada without a 14 day quarantine, hundreds of canadian drivers have begun the so called freedom convoy a journey from vancouver to also in protest against the new rules industry groups are saying the restrictions could for 16000 truck because off the roads with some

even ready to quit their jobs. while there's reportedly a modest optic of drivers getting vaccinated at some companies, there are substantial reports of higher than normal turnover, and others declaring their intention to leave the industry over the impending mandate of the border. the canadian transport minister has defended the measure saying the biggest threats to our supply chain is cobit. that is why we created the vaccine mandate for truckers, but they betray hey, it's again, believe the mandate is only going to cripple the supply chain. 2 years into this we, you know they have not imposed a mandate on truckers, they were essential workers. they were the heroes of the road for whatever minority of them don't get vaccinated and i don't know exactly what that number is. they have a pretty solitary profession to begin with. and so to pretend that be and that it's the vaccine, maybe that are going to save the supply chain as opposed to actually cripple it. it's intellectual dishonesty if not overt dishonesty because even if you're double

vaccinated and you get sick because you could still contract the virus, we know that you still have to isolate, even if you're double vaccinated as a trucker and become exposed, you still have to isolate lift the measures protect the vulnerable and let the healthy live a free and productive life, and maintain the very infrastructure that we need to deal with any crisis. not even this one. well, just to remind to the world health organization phase cove, it 19 vaccines are vital tool in the fight to end the global pandemic. ah, let's go back now to news of a shooting in germany. a gunman has injured several students in a lecture hall at the university of heidelberg before being shot dead by a security officer. local media have identified the attacker as a 23 year old male. he was reportedly a radical vegason wanting to avenge the death of animals and expressed a strong dislike to students. there was

a heavy police presence at the same way. keeping track of development found will bring you further updates next out. the thanks for joining us. there were naughty international will be back at the top of the hour with all the latest, the, that ah, [000:00:00;00] with her all those driven by dreams shaped by center. some of those

with dares sinks. we dare to ask in awe a with time after it. and she knew what you're going underground from a country dominated by doubts over the premiership of boris johnson. as he tries to save himself with something called operation red meat for the 2 and a half 1000000 food bank uses you've argued be suffered on the conservative leadership. red meat and food itself is something that must be substituted and

sacrifice under. so gold rising cost of living crisis. joining me now from eugene, oregon is professor michael factory, the un special rupture on the right to food to discuss the nutritional value of neoliberalism. thank you so much. a progressive, accurate for going on special roger, i suppose i better just start with something very general. given that where i'm talking to you from i'm not far from food banks or something, not seen here for a decade. why his food scarce are in 2022 when there is more food supply than ever before. you know, and thank you for having me and you're quite right to start with the question of food banks, especially in the u. k. so 1st it highlights that the issue of hunger and malnutrition is not just a matter of poor countries. rich countries are like, are having a serious issue today, and it is on the rise. and the increased use of food banks indicates it's, it's not an issue, as you pointed. an issue of there isn't enough food. there's been more than enough

food globally speaking on a per capita basis for the last 60 years. the issue always when there's a rise of hunger, malnutrition, and especially famine, is always indicative of a political failure of the failure of institutions not doing what they're supposed to be doing, and politicians not being responsive to people's needs. the concern today, what's happening with cold it, it's cold, it is made existing problems, worse. hunger was on the rise, even before the pandemic. and there were a lot of endemic problems before the pandemic i want to pandemic is done is it's complicated supply chain issues. but the term supply chain destruction is to abstract what it means is worker is in agra in farms. workers in the supply chain, workers and restaurants are getting sick, they're not being protected properly. so what it's showing is how we treat the
