the world and things happen in a good way when you go all the way a, the u. s. puts, 8500 troops on high alert. depends again, says they're ready for deployments in eastern europe if russia, ukraine, despite moscow saying as no such plans with the british government minister quits was fleming, the prime ministers, quote, lamentable track record infecting math games of massive fraud in the government covey load scheme. and wikileaks founded during the song, when the right to appeal to the u. k. supreme court to prevent his expedition to us

on espionage charges. the ruling has been welcomed by his family and support. what happened in court today is precisely what we wanted to happen. but we are 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 from moscow to the world. you're watching all the international and what's being quite the news day. my name is peter scott, and it's good to have you with those are the us is putting 8500 troops on high alerts. the counter the suppose. it threat from russia. pentagon spokesman john kirby says units could be sent to eastern europe if russia attacks 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 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 the u. s. and if nato allies have also started a series of navy drills in the mediterranean sea and nato secretary general gen stalsen, burke has said the alliance is considering deploying extra troops near bushes, borders. pizza oliver has more. that story 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 call between the u. s. president and european leaders. but earlier, we heard pretty much confirmation of this from the nato secretary general against

dalton, beg, natal, will not compromise on court principles. we stand for the right of each nation to choose his own alliances. and naples door remains open. we are considering to further enhance our christenson eastern part of the lines. this could include the deployment of additional natal battle groups, while those navy wargames continue in the mediterranean involving the at 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 reduced in such a 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. 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 said, but l, 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 with eyes as far as the negotiation going on. they are going on. i don't think that we had to let the plane and i leave. there was an awful lot of pressure on germany and therefore minister analynn a bad book in this meeting of foreign ministers on monday. germany is 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 that'll provide medical aid and that it would increase air surveillance operations carried out from our romania. what we've also heard coming out to germany is the, the chancellor here all app schoultz saying it should there be an invasion that there would be 6 stream consequences for russia, but amongst senior politicians including those no longer in government, of course, and the in the terms of marcus's odor, 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 hand, because sanctions have had little effect for a long time. and on the other hand, because these new sanctions would often harm us just as much. meanwhile, bars, 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 mesh this leading new crime from a from russian set is going to be a handful bombs and below this, this could be a new chess 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. well on see will i to is an executive director of world

beyond war. david swanson says that most americans don't want war, but us media continues going after it's brougham on. well, i think it's a sort of a self fulfilling of belief. and 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. i 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. this is, this is what they're fed. a constant diet of on us television. a senior conservative minister has resigned in the u. k. in protest. the government's handling afford allegations, in multi 1000000000 pound covey contracts. theodore ag news exits has piled further pressure on. busy prime minister boys, johnson, who's already reeling from a scandal over lockdown parties at downing street. he saw ali reports from london to the resignation of a pair in the house of lords, lord agnew of olson, 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 of bounce 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 attempts to try to get these instances of alleged fraud investigator will met with nothing. but in action 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 down the street. while the rest of the country essentially locked. and there were new reports emerging lead in that forest. johnson had a birthday party held for him, organized by his now wife carrie. and that revelation states the forest. johnson attended that party in the cabinet office in down the street at a time when the country was in the 1st national lockdown. an indoor gatherings were strictly band. and we've heard and seen this prime minister for shrugging

of accusations of racism. shrugging of 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 premiere 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 passed 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 porous 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 locked down policies and that he scrapped 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 gray reports. well, earlier we spoke a house of lords member lord prem seeker. you say this simply replacing, the prime minister won't solve the problem as the u. k needs to completely overhauled the ways governed. the minister would speak a minute or 2. but as the,

as his a speech lasted longer and they started criticizing the government, we sensed something was up. but then it became more dramatic on the slime. there's a resignation letter on the dispatcher table and actually walked out of the chamber . i not really see anything like that before. many people from outside have already sense that something is seriously wrong with the government. very, very serious indictment and insight into incompetence. and the heart of the government simply replacing one prime minister with another prime minister, believing in the same ideology, values, and policies is not really good enough. what we really need is a complete change in the way this country is governed. simply replacing one sort of gods with another god with another set of gods isn't really going to do much of the country. so we need new people centered politics. and that is not really an offer

of the moment by any political party wiki leagues founder julian sanchez. won the right to have his expedition case reviewed in the u. k. supreme court. he's currently wanted by washington on espionage charges, but there's still no prospect of shaun's been released. and if you're on say, says he's healthy is deteriorating after suffering. a recent stroke in prison ortiz shot it was dusty, has the latest to the sun has been crowded. permission to take his case to this you cream court. of course, that means that he can now appeal to you as extradition. decision that was granted at the end of last year or more is who is 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 gillian has been incarcerated for so long, and he should not have spent a single day in prison soon as on still remains behind the putting father belmont

prison, which is one of the most notorious prisons here in the united kingdom and that all of this should be thrown out of court in fact, that calling the united states the case and they all do that press freedom worldwide is stakes. not all cases go to this. you prim 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 to support done and 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 with

news. so what we see now is a decade long soccer, illegal, labyrinth of horror story. i put you in a song, well, he goes through, back and forth, various court systems here in the united kingdom. all of these protests is when they got announcement some few minutes ago. they all are opted into child saying free free. of course, this isn't the end, he's still behind balls and there's still a long way to go to june assigned to try and fight against expedition to the united

states. earlier we spoke with i to this and pink floyd co founder brought to waters . who said this is a small victory, foster launch obviously this is bad and yours hadn't been denied lose. to appeal to the u. k. supreme court. if he, if he had been denied that made by the high court appeal go, his, his name would have gone straight to pretty much so 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 exclaimed in i could just his snatches of your programming and on. while i was sitting there waiting to talk to stellar explain julian a so should not have spent a single day even in the wood dory and embassy where he was sort of locked up for about 8 years for certainly not so much to present because he has

committed no crime how many times to have to explain this to the rest of the world . obviously he has committed no active espionage by any definition of the word, probably in any language, anywhere in the world. it should trump up nonsense piece of nonsense. clearly it's obvious to 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 me. i suppose that this man deserves to be punished in some way for what he has done. we should be building statues to julian songs in our towns. squares, not punishing. what he has done is expose inconvenient truce to the

powers that be to the ruling clause. in the news, there's been a deadly shooting in the german town of heidelberg. just a few hours ago, a gunman opened fire in a university lecture hall, killing a students and in doing several others before turning the going on himself. is ortiz, danny armstrong, with the latest developments. one dead, 3 injured after a shooting at heidelberg university. that's the oldest university in germany, one of the most renowned in europe, him for the world in the world for that matter. police said in a press conference just wrapped so recently that an 18 year old man himself, a student stormed into a lecture, theatre around 1230 local time. open fire on the students present, then left the building before turning the gun on himself. the police said there were 4 injured originally, one of them critically. and we can confirm now that one of those victims that was

critically injured has to come to her injuries later in the hospital. there were reports that she had been shot in the head by the attack in a police of the perpetrator who was acting alone. a lone wolf attacked as it were, was a student himself, and used a long barrel good. now that's a rifle to you. me. the type is held in 2 hands and propped against the shoulder. a search after the attack did find that there were 2 of those such guns on the about the body of the attacker. now this has been a huge event in the city of heidelberg, a huge student population. there we have had some comment from the chairman of the sheet of body pizza ableman. he said that this is a catastrophe and incredible shock. add to the city that north of the city has been cordoned off. a swat team was deployed there, a helicopter also to aid in the the search the is there is no threat to the public

as we understand now. course our threat was neutralized when the attacker turned the gun on himself. ali said there is no political or racial motivation behind the attack. the gunman acted alone. however, when this did 1st, when news of this attack 1st broke on social media. and there were reports that this was down to radical veganism, and the perpetrator had some kind, deep hatred to students and was exact sing some sort of sick, revenge for the suffering of animals on humans. that was rubbish, than the police have said. now that it was a lone gunman, 18 year 18 years old, former students there is a peanut press conference. it's been wrapped up. this kept us up today and we will keep you up to date here, t on any information that we have, as in when it happens. on staying with the grim topic of gun crime, an 8 year old girl was shot and killed while walking with her mother in chicago

over the weekend. she was hit by straight gun fired during a gung fight. melissa ortega had just moved to the city from mexico and her tragic killing comes to chicago is witnessing the highest homicide rate in 25 years. those starts along with this. recent incidents have brought a route renewed scrutiny of the way chicago police and left one passed in the city crying for change. is there any hope for chicago? the chaos. the lawlessness is so bad is chicago, that the criminals openly mark. i police and i city leaders. even now governor, what makes me so angry theory is that we see our leaders marking our efforts with their wishy washy id. like to find the police. come on, man. the police are not our enemy. how many more will it take before our leaders wake up? you know what? they'll never waker, you know why they don't care. we spoke with dominic ease or

a former police officer from chicago and he says that such events happening disturbingly frequently and that is short sighted to place the blame squarely on the police sort of freaks a certain situation. this happens disturbingly repetitively, in chicago, isn't broken, got government system. we have from our job safe, certain kim fox to the mayor and her vilification of all the police officers. one of the 3rd to our sheriff tom dark, who's absent at the helm. the define, the police know that is one thing in the next year is going to be something else. the police will always be the points because they're right in the middle. you've got the elected officials who make the promise, elect me. i'm going to change things. you've got the state attorney who are making deals with the defense attorneys who are also an elected position, 6 attorney, you know, elect me. i'm going to do x, y, and z. then you have the, the citizens who are committing the crimes or also the ones you are calling for safer neighborhoods because of the crime. you know, not everyone's committing crimes. and you have the cops,

the ones who are right in the middle, and the entire burden of peace and prosperity is put on their shoulders with no support from communities or the ones who are there to, to back them their, their government. so they're the ones who are taking the worst position, the hits on all side, and they're always going to be taking the heads if they're the pons. ah, vaccine mandates have been causing havoc in canada. it's been hit by a supply chain disruptions due to a shortage of truckers. that's off to a new job monday took effect applying the drivers crossing to and from the u. s. people floated switzer with images of empty shelves all across canada. what's one m p was quick to rebuff, claim such a supply christ exists saying he's personally see no evidence of any shortages. anyway, 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 saying there's no problem whatsoever. i went to a grocery store and look how plant plentiful it is. there's no pumpkins and i just had to retweet images that my own brother sent me from ontario to be effective. who are you going to trust me or your own eyes? you can feel it everywhere. although from what i'm told is sort of worse outside of the big cities in response to the mandates which prevents on vaccines, partially vox focus, crossing from the u. s. in the canada without the 14 day quarantine. hundreds of canadian drivers have become a so called freedom convoy, a journey from vancouver to all to what in protest against the new rules in just a groups a saying the restrictions could fall, 16000 truckers off the roads with them even ready to quit the jobs while there is 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 at the border. the canadian transport minister has defended the measure saying quotes, the biggest threats to our supply chain is cove. it. that's why we created the vaccine monday for truckers. but david frey heights again, believe the monday is only going to cripple the supply chain 2 years into this. and 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, mandy 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. and just a quick remind to the world health organization says covey. 19 vaccines are vital tool in the fights and the global pandemic. well, that's it's, you're buying gold to dates from all the latest from around the world. feel free to head over its r t dot com for more stories in depth analysis. my name is peter scott and i'll be back again at the top of the hour. mm hm. it was not a showdown, but rather an exercise in placing markers, the russia us talks in geneva settled basically nothing. however, the vitamin ministration can no longer say it does not understand russia's position

on pan european security. the mom is in washington, and i drink shaped bankers, and those with ah, who dares thinks we dare to ask oh, well, it shows the wrong one. i just don't know any yes to say proud to come to an engagement. it was the trail

when so many find themselves will depart. we choose to look for common ground. join me every thursday on the alex simon shoes and i'll be speaking to guess of the world of politics, sport, business. i'm sure both of us. i'll see you then. mm . ah, the whole earth catalogue was part of the movement. this publication was created by steward brand, a former biology student, and jack of all trades he wanted to help to middle is find everything they needed to fend for themselves by showing them where to buy all the necessary tools. so weird because right, so these people are going to build farms,

but what kind of tools are they take? well, they take books and that's because what people wanted in the communes was not just farm equipment, but consciousness, equipment. they wanted to change their minds catalog is absolutely central to the counterculture and to that, to the the commune movement of the late 19 sixty's. but it's also central to silicon valley. they found this world, and they began to reimagined computers as the kinds of tools that the whole earth catalogue had promised. when i was young, there was an amazing publication called the whole earth catalogue, which was one of the bible's of my generation. it was idealistic, overflowing with neat tools and great notions on the back cover of their final issue. were the words stay hungry, stay foolish. it was their farewell message as they signed off, stay hungry, stay fool.
