like, monopoly behaves like monopoly. amazon essentially controls the market place. it's not really a market, it's a private arena, a world where a single company controls the distribution of all day, the products and the infrastructure of our economy. is this the world according to amazon? i was told that lines live on r t, the u. s. puts 8500 troops on a high lud pentagon search. they're ready for deployment in eastern europe. if russia types ukraine despite moscow saying it does have no such a british government administered to quit swell, slamming the prime minister as quote, lamentable track record and tackling claims of massive fraud. and the government's code with loans. with emily found a truly mythology wins the right to appeal to the u. k. supreme court to prevent

his extradition to america and espionage charges of the ruling has been welcomed by his family and support. what happened in court today is precisely what we wanted to happen, but we're far from achieving justice in this case. because gillian has been incarcerated for so long, and he should not have spent a single day in prison with it's moments after midnight here at moscow. and it's been wall to wall old evening with major headlines taking center stage. welcome to them, it's off you international. so the u. s. is putting 8500 troops on high alert. busy busy to count with the suppose, a threat from russia. the pentagon spokesman john coby says, the units could be sent to eastern europe if russia types ukraine, although moscow has repeatedly denied any such plans. these would be additional brigade, combat teams, logistics personnel, medical support, aviation support,

intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance as well as transportation and, and maybe even some additional capabilities after that the secretary wanting to get ahead of the potential activation and making sure that these units have the time to prepare if and only if they're deployed with a u. s. and as nato allies have also started a series of navy drills in the mediterranean sea and nato secretary general, yet installed in book has said the alliance is considering deploying extra troops to ride along. russia's borders, let's get more of the story now. here's our correspondence, peter oliver. an awful lot going on on monday concerning nato troop movements and planned movements as well. what we can expect is that there will be more nato troops arriving in the east of europe. later on monday, us time, they'll be a coal between the u. s. president and european leaders. but earlier, we heard pretty much confirmation of this from the nato secretary general. again,

salton beg, nathan, will not compromise on court principles. we stand for the right of each nation to choose his own allowances. on naples door remains open. we are considering it to further enhance our presence in eastern part of the alliance. this could include the deployment of additional nate or battle groups, while those navy wargames continue in the mediterranean involving the ag yet the american aircraft carrier, the u. s. s. harry truman. we've also heard on monday from france, denmark, the netherlands, and spain who've all either committed or said they're considering committing moving military hardware or troops to eastern europe. now dmitri pest golf, who's the the kremlin spokesperson, said that moscow as paying very close attention to these movements, but don't reduce to another, 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 buildup, which has never stopped and will continue. e u foreign ministers were meeting in brussels on monday. they had a lot to talk about, including proposals by the you commission for as much as what could be 1320000000 euros worth of financial package for ukraine. but one thing that jo, several, the a u foreign policy chief did come away from the meeting, saying was pretty much what he said when he went into the meeting, which was there would be no pull out of e u diplomatic staff and their families from embassies in keith, similar to what had been done by the united states and the u. k. i don't think we had a time applies as far as the negotiation going on on the and going on. i don't think that we had left the plane and i live there was an awful lot of pressure on germany and therefore,

minister and lena bear back in this meeting of foreign ministers on monday. journeys come under a lot of pressure because it's refused to send weapons to ukraine. now, germany has said it will provide financial aid. it's also said it will provide medical aid and that it would increase s surveillance operations carried out from romania. what we've also heard coming out to germany is the, the chancellor here all i should say it should that be an invasion, that there would be strict stream consequences for russia, but amongst senior politicians including those no longer in government, of course. and they, in the terms of marcus zone to the leader of the state of bavaria. he's been speaking to the press saying that europe shouldn't talk to russia as if it was an enemy. 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, boars johnson, the british prime minister, has been having his se that's after london sent thousands of anti tank weapons to ukraine just last week, as well as a team of special forces to train people how to use those while barry and ukraine now the british prime minister saying that an invasion of ukraine could be a disaster of historic proportions, but we also need to get a message this in leading new crime promotions that is going to be a painful and below this. this could be an awful lot of movement in this story. throughout monday, most of that movement seems to be in the form of nato military hardware, either moving or planning to be moved further towards the eastern frontier of the

alliances boundaries. just been out there in this program here on our t. i did speak with anti war activist and executive director of world beyond ward, david swanson. he says that most americans don't want to war, but the u. s. media continues going after it's so cold booking. well, i think it's a sort of a self fulfilling of belief of this notion that russia in response to all the militarization within ukraine and neighboring countries by nato. a put all of these troops months ago near the border and hasn't used them, hasn't invaded ukraine. most people are not in the military have nothing to do with the military pay. very little attention to the news at all. and certainly if asked whether they want a major war or not would say no, but are generally aware of small scale u. s. war making going on constantly eternally around the world. i and are horrified of vladimir putin or having nightmares about vladimir putin have been

ward that, that the evil dr. putin is trying to take over the world and something must be done to stop him. it's another munich, it's another appeasement. it's another moral failure to launch a war quickly enough on this is this is what they're fed. a constant diet of on us television with helix found a julianna's sanchez won the right to have his extradition case reviewed in the u. k supreme court, of course, he's wanted by washington on chargers of espionage for the still no prospect of assange being released. his fiance says his health is worsening of the suffering. a recent stroke in prison. let us report now from london ortiz a shot. it was dashing to the son has been counted permission to take his case to the green court. of course, that means that he can now appeal the u. s. extra edition decision that was granted at the end of last year with some more is who's the partner of doing this artist held this as a victory. what happened in court today is 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. students on still remain behind the prison pauses belmont prison, which is one of the most notorious prisons hit in the united kingdom. and that all of this should be thrown out of court. in fact, that pulling the united states the cave and they all the, the press freedom worldwide is out stakes. 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 many of us on just supported on and data defense. they argue that the united states is simply making an example of june assange, revealing these legible crimes of documents relating to the war in iraq, afghanistan, and mm.

back with this in. so what we see now is a long sog or a legal, elaborate the horror story for you in a song while he goes through, back and forth, various court systems, here in the united kingdom. all of these protests is when they heard that

announcement some few minutes ago. they all are into charles thing, free, free, a junior college. of course, this isn't the end. he's still behind balls and there's still a long way to go for doing the songs to try and fight against that tradition to the united states. oh, let's go live now to roger waters, musician activision. of course, the co founder of legendary bind to pink floyd a very good evening to you. so thanks for joining us here on our see, you know the story, you know, the scoop and, you know, the very latest to how much of a breakthrough is based for julian, a sorry, do you really think that he is now likely, or even possibly likely to avoid extradition to america. i have so sincerely. obviously this is better than yours and him being denied leave. to appeal to the u . k. supreme court. if he, if he had been denied that lay by a high court appeal court, his, his name would have gone straight to pretty, but joe,

who would have shouted off with his hedge and sent in the united states to be killed. so service is a small victory, but a stellar explained in just his snatches of your programming gun. while i was sitting here waiting to told you and the stellar explained julian, his son should not have spent a single day either in the ecuador and embassy, where he was sort of locked up for about 8 years, or certainly not in the marsh person. the high security prison because he has committed no crime. how many times do we have to explain this to the rest of the world? not only has he committed no crime, but he is one of the most important human beings on us. why is that? because he is one of the few proper journalists what a journalist supposed to do, journalist supposed to inform, with the people of what is going on in the world,

so that we can make informed decisions about how we are going to relate to our governance. this is particularly true if we pretend to call the countries we live in dim out chris's, but he's, he's charged with the espionage. roger he's charged. you know, it's just anybody, he's a journalist for being charged with espionage. how. how do you, how do you justify, how do you clarify that? well, you come, well i good for you. obviously he has committed no active espionage by any definition of the word, probably in any language, anywhere in the world. it's a trumped up nonsense piece of nonsense. all. clearly it's obvious to abstract everybody, the whole traditional procedure that's been going on in the u. k. is shirad. it's a piece of theater. to persuade those of us who need persuading. like them trying

to persuade may i suppose that this man deserves to be punished in some way for what he has done. we should be building statues, to jersey and sancha in our town squares. not punishing him. what he has done is expose inconvenient truths to the powers that be to the ruling class. he is exposed, they are entirely happy. and i'm talking now about the government, not states america and the government united king, but it's, it is georgia. is it only that? and i'm sort of jump in, but it's only the members of the government that are so upset over this because you, you said most people don't really need explaining. most people understand the story already. of julian savage, is it only so concerning to washington dc and, and langley virginia with a c i a is based not. well, yes, it is only const concerning to them,

which is why they have to produce this drama. bis made up drama that he, that julian sanchez in some way, a criminal that he's committed espionage and, or the hacking of computers, or those are the spurious things. all of these charges. busy have been shown to be completely without marriage. the hacking charge was based mainly on the testimony of a convicted criminal. and pete of 5 summers landing gold, 20 or something. and who has since recounted his testimony, saying that he was paid to say that he was paid to give evidence against julian as such by the authorities in order to reduce his sentence to which he was actually subject because of crimes that he had made to this is that's why this is so important and i leaned closer to the, to the camera now. so the people can see this clearly the,

the hounding and potentially the murder, which is what they're trying to achieve. of julianna's sarge is an existential threat to the whole of human society because it denies we the people the opportunity to support and to have a for the state. now to translate that for people who don't know what it means, the 4th stage is supposed to be the press newspapers, television, radio, people who inform us about what is going on in the world. not to hounding of julianna's charge, isn't that m by the ruling class to take away that right from every single human being on this plan. but where do you see that the, where do you see the support? roger, sorry for jumping in again because session time, but you know, where is the support for julian assange in the media?

you recall we call julian a journalist, a man who's done things that very few others have done. he's been prosecuted one of our guests earlier tonight said that what's happening with julian, the son is out of a slow execution. your thoughts? well, what are you, rory? what's your name? oh, that's right. yeah. sure. yeah, sorry, lori, thank you for asking me that question. you're and to ask the question of where is the support? the supporters are say, the supporters with made the supporters with the real news, the supporters with the greatest, the supporters with wonder why the support is with all the small news, directed podcasts that exist all over the internet, but probably only for now. probably only for now because that well under attack, by the same people who want julian a, sorry dag, but that's where the support is in the mainstream major,

there is none because the mainstream major is for sale and it is bought and paid for by the power brokers of the military industrial complex and if i sound like, never mind, i'm not. i think that's a great comment. roger, i think it's a great comment and people talk about the complicity of the media. for example, a lot, a lot of channels out there. they cow to the financial interest, they can talk about lawyers that counts out to that, that political interest here at r t. we don't because we don't have the appetite. and so we don't have big pharmaceuticals paying the time on our t international. i appreciate you saying that that what we're doing here at all it's, it's some good work, but, you know, look going back. so some of the most shocking revelations, bye bye, with the legs related to the war crimes in iraq and afghanistan. roger, as you well know, but do you think through his work a sanchez in any way now influence the way the military operates? probably no. i'm probably not. but what the people

a sorry needs to influence all the electrodes in the countries the call themselves democracies. unfortunate lay the power of propaganda as a spouse, but most of the mainstream media is such that they can persuade the people that a sash is rapist, treats his cat badly, and skateboards in the whatever they want to do to change his image a little bit. when it, but he's one of, he's probably the most valuable human being said to we the people in the whole of the 21st century. so far that would be my pin. by the way, i want to take my hat off right now to a german globe because i've got some shenanigans going on in germany at that moment about the been and hopefully i'll be able to talk more about that. but k,

shan boss is a rear admiral in the german navy who came out the other day on, on up on a program on a cv program somewhere. right. and said, the whole story about russia thinking you've been waiting for you. frame is complete nonsense. and should be dismissed this so he's had to resign. he's no longer at the german davis. that's a very interesting story as well. why do you why do you think that raja he's a? he's a guy with a long military career with regalia all over his uniforms. a very respected military man, he makes his comment that he said with his own opinion at the time he's basically forced to stand down. why do you think that's happened? because they can't have anybody who's supposed to be in the team. an old

boy part of the club, part of them stepping out of line and telling but the truth. because the truth is that russia, the country, russia, and the people of russia have no intention of invading the root ukraine. why? because it will be unbelievably dumb, stupid thing to do. will they support the russian speaking residence of the country of ukraine who live in the eastern part the dumb bust course. they will with all their hearts and with all their souls. that big thing they can do, will they break international law, invade the country? of course not that i mean the west to major is trying to sell another insane story . the putin has hatched a plan to effect a clue in there. you crane and replace the government of kiev with

a russian friendly new regime where we heard that story before it happened in 2014. all right. ron hogan 5 was organized by the c. i and victoria new them village on say, you're going to be going back to the 2014 my dad revolution sorta jump in again. roger, but you know what you're discussing? it's very pertinent, but ultimate, at the end of the day, russia, i guess, in some way, sense of form it's been trying to resolve what was about of langley virginia regime change in ukraine with a minor and revolution of 2014 russia. i've got no time left except a few seconds. i just want to ask you very, very quickly. if a sons is ever ever a free man, do you think he could go incognito? why does some sort of witness protection program and live off his life somewhere in some distant part of the world? or do you think the idea is going to have him in that cross hes forever? no, i think i think he and stellar and the boys could live happily ever after almost

anywhere in the world i've, i sincerely do if the cia and the united states government and the u. k. government and the rest of them fail in their attempt to kill him. now if we can get julia in our prison, he will live to a ripe old age. i promise you, i mean, i promise. how would i know? i believe that to be true because more and more as the years go by the end and does the blind spoke from the eyes of we apparently the great unwashed we the peoples of the world. we will come to recognise more and more and more what a great hero julian assange is to us all men continue to be not just for as long as he lives, but he will go down in the history books. as one of the,

very few journalists stood up for his principles and reported the truth. and the truth is that the united states of america commits hideous war crimes in pursuit of its nefarious aims. that's the truth. roger, you've been a one of a fairly medium sized group of very high profile support who's who, who's really been showing support and getting p r exposure to julian a sounds throughout all of this and, and we appreciate your work and we wish you the best of luck with your future endeavors. roger walters of the co founder of pink floyd and legend in the business . thanks so much for joining us here. a naughty international. we really appreciate it. thanks for it. just thanks very much. ah, and thanks for joining us so far here went to international a senior conservative minister has resigned in the u. k. in protest of the government's handling of fraud allegations and multi 1000000000 pound cobra

contracts that he had to act. news exit has power for the pressure on prime minister. johnson, already reeling from a scandal over lockdown party, is downing street isa ali journalist from london reports to the resignation of a peer in the house of lords, lord agnew of olsen, who served as both a cabinet and treasury minister and his role was responsible primarily for investigating cases of corruption or fraud and to take his frustration which has led to his resignation. today is linked to the governments about back loan scheme. now this was a scheme which was hugely popular in the country at the time. loans being given to small businesses of a height of the pandemic in the lockdown. to help save businesses to help save jobs, the treasury doting out 47000000000 pounds of money to desperate businesses all across the line to give them a lifeline. but as the national audit office estimates that up to potentially

5000000000 pounds of that could have been, fortunately claimed lord agnew spectacularly resigning the dispatch box earlier saying that his attempt to try to get the instances of alleged fraud investigator were met with nothing but inaction by other government officials, it is my deeply held conviction that the current state of affairs is not acceptable . given that i am the minister for counter fraud. it feels somewhat dishonest to stay on in that role if i am incapable of doing it properly. this is not an attack on the prime minister, but a combination of arrogance, indolence and ignorance freezes the government machine. now we heard the lord agnew stating that his resignation was not intended as a attack on the prime minister, but it's hard to see how it could be anything but a huge blow on bars. johnson, who's under immense pressure following revelations of a number of incidences of breaking of lockdown roofs by himself and others within

his government at the highest levels within downing street. while the rest of the country essentially locked. and there were new reports emerging in that poorest johnson had a birthday party held for him, organized by his now wife carry. and that revelation state subarus. johnson attended that spots in the cabin office in down the street at a time when the country was in the 1st national lockdown, and indoor gatherings were strictly band. and we've heard and seen this prime minister shrugging of accusations of racism shrugging off accusations of corruption within his administration. but it could be these revelations of parties and other events which broke lockdown rules, which could cause an end to his premier ship. and we've already seen him having to be humiliated, essentially, politically,

and apologize at the dispatch box in the house of commons. i want to apologize. i believed implicitly that this was a work event. oh, but mister speaker with hindsight, i should have sent everyone back inside. i should have found some other way to thank them and i should have recognized that even if it could be said technically to fall within the guidance, there would be millions and millions of people who simply would not see that way. a senior civil servant within the government, su gray, has been tasked with investigating those instances of rule breaking. and what the prime minister's alleged role in those events were, and it's thought that su grey's report could make or break parish. johnson's political future, no doubt to the glee of his political enemies, those who oppose him on everything from his lockdown policies. those who say that

he hasn't been harsh enough with the lock down policies, and that he scraps, things like vaccine passports to those who oppose him. on the question of briggs, it, but importantly those on his own back benches as well, who are paying for his blood. and so all eyes will be on what sue great reports. you can read more about that right now at the u. k. section of off he dot com also check out the off head section of all the comments where people like to allow that 10 post to flag. well, thanks for joining us here. when we are back soon with more of your top world headline i i

i thought with this guy, john, you know, come out here and back, denise right. just to put a space ship deal out here. got to be drank in some kind of bad whiskey or i guess he's got enough money to do it. whatever he wants to do, he get the money to play the game i from 10 miles outside a town highway. $62.00 war lady is 45 miles and they all on both sides. they don't anything out

this is the interest but.
