germany has come under a lot of pressure over its decision to refuse to send weaponry to ukraine. it's also the feeling the heats over having be on the fence pretty much publicly over whether or not it would eventually approve lord stream to gas pipeline. let's set to run while does run, but is set to take gas between russia and germany directly. now what's coming out in media reports here in berlin is that a deal has been done and agreement is being made that if there was a further escalation intentions in aggression, were seen from russia towards ukraine, that germany would cut off not nod stream to gas pipeline however, when it comes to the issue of sending weapons to ukraine, the government here in berlin is adamant. it won't be happening. d, vanessa gillum at the federal government has not changed its position on the supply of arms to ukraine, lead, including the supply of lethal weapons. and in view of the conflict in ukraine,
12:05 pm
it will not issue a permit for the supply of military weapons inner. when he comes to nato members on the ground in ukraine, they seem to fit into 2 distinct groups. there are those that have pulled their diplomats or the diplomats families out of embassies or in kia than elsewhere, not all of them, but some members of their embassies, not the united kingdom, the united states. and on tuesday it's been announced that canada will also be following suit doing that. and then on the other side, you have the european union member states and their representatives who are in nato on monday evening, following a long meeting of a you foreign ministers, or we heard from some of those foreign ministers as well as the e. u high representative for foreign affairs yoseph burrell, who said that pulling diplomats out at this stage would just cause more problems than was needed. sector lincoln has told us that he was not an evacuation. he was
12:06 pm
just letting to people to watch when not crucial, the staff are free to decide to leave the country. i don't think there is a need for us to do any kind of a precautionary measure from defined to reorder number of our staff and bend when entering. okay, i am either for clearly in the counsel at this moment i see no reason are forced to pull out our diplomatic stuff. and i think your, our presence on diplomatic presence and care is absolutely key because what we're seeing seeking is, of diplomatic solutions on the plan was on the ground track. lot of us in the last 24 hours. there's been quite a lot of movement when it comes to nato forces and potentially nato forces heading towards europe. the united states has put 8 and a half 1000 troops on standby for immediate, of sending to europe in case the situation worse. and there's also the ongoing war games in the mediterranean that have been carried out and continue to be carried out, involving the american acro,
12:07 pm
harry of the usa says harry truman. and on monday, we heard from denmark, spain, and add the netherlands as well. who all said that they would be sending some form of military hardware eastwards towards that eastern frontier of the, the nato, a territory. this was things like fight to jets, all the navy ships as well. now, john kirby, who's the the pentagon spokesperson in washington outline b troops, that the united states has put on the list of 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 in moscow, the kremlin spokesperson, $32.00 pasco, of said that russia was paying close attention to the moves by nato troops, a dog reduced after such a nato actions and increased nato activity. now borders cannot be ignored by a military who are responsible for the security of our country. there is
12:08 pm
a constant process of drills, maneuvers, and military build up, which has never stopped and will continue right now in berlin. the french president emanuel mack gone is meeting with the german chancellor or lap schoultz. they'll be getting that ducks in a row for that. franco german partnership going into morose normandy for meeting that is going to be a meeting of representatives of germany, france, russia, and ukraine. and all important meeting we'll be hearing from the french president and the german chancellor a little later on as soon as we hear anything from them. i'll be bringing it to you here. veteran and p and r t host george delaware believes we are seeing the law of unintended consequences coming true and says the alliance could see some very challenging time. said there's a splintering of the european side of the nato alliance. germany has made it plain that it does not support the build off of war materiel in
12:09 pm
ukraine, and does not want a confrontation with russia to turn into a war. they want a new european security architecture that is not led by the nose a by a senile american president, that most people wouldn't send out to the shops for a low for bread, but may well lead his european allies into war with hypersonic. there are more nuclear superpower called russia. so it's all beginning to break apart the law of unintended consequence that they don't hate russia. you know, i made this point you before they put ins, russia, because putin has dragged russia up from the floor where it was lying, having its pockets picked and restored prestige and respect, self respect to russia. that's not the kind of russia they want. and
12:10 pm
while the world worries about how ukraine is being threatened from the outside, ukrainians themselves have got concerns closer to home. ah, small business owners, along with others have clashed with police in the center of keith. one person was reportedly killed in the violence. protesters attempted to enter the country's parliament, the rather police resorted to tear gas to stop them. media reports claim nps, i'm being evacuated from that building. demonstrators are demanding tax breaks that mandatory cashed hills. be abolished so that a good tax doesn't have to be paid. ok, another story to bring you to day a hot mike moment has caused embarrassment for joe biden to a media conference. the president was asked about the record inflation gripping the
12:11 pm
u. s. with the journalist getting an insult in reply. good written supers already are my colleagues neil harvey and rock gosti of talk through what sparks such a strong reaction from the u. s. president. well it was a nasty booster baby. i'm befitting the president, but that is imagine he was, he was stressed right. he, he needed an outlet, but silly moment we will have moments like that. but the issue here is the subject neither not is inflation because there are, there are 2 explanations for what but, and said the 1st is that perhaps he was kidding. you know, he was angry, this is an outlet again, again for his stress, for his ag. and the 2nd option which is even scarier is that he actually believes
12:12 pm
that inflation is a great asset. i'm you fall to brought, you felt that the inflation that has gripped the will not, not only lose the past year, but over the past 2 years of the course of the pandemic. you walk into a shop, you look at the process. this is at the zeppelin fuel, for our cars, clothes, for food. the price isn't in supermarkets. i mean, cars, computers, everything's gone up into the stratosphere. nobody's gaining from this. people are literally watching that their salaries, their wages, especially people on fixed income, or even worse, poor people, low income people. they are watching their salaries, they're purchasing power evaporate. that to have, as an example, say you were making $10000.00 just just for suppliers. simplicity said $10000.00 a month. right. given this inflation in the united states and of 7 percent over the past year, your effective sales of so which you can buy is worth $9300.00. this is in the,
12:13 pm
in the span of a year. so again, if, if someone gives you a raise, if you get a raise, well that's just, you know, getting back clue and back what you've already lost. and so it is incredibly strange reading meeting what some and the media wrote. and i'd like to note that this is, this is left wing media that inflation is somehow a good thing, why inflation can actually be good for every day americans in bad for rich people. why the inflation we're seeing now is a good thing why inflation might actually be good for the economy. the either enter that is. so someone telling me why you can afford to put food on your table is a good thing. it's, it doesn't contrast well well it's essentially the same thing and those headlines that some of them have apologized the authors. they have been ridiculed to such an extent that they had to, they had to go back on what they wrote because there is, there is no justifying this with the reflection we are seeing in the united states,
12:14 pm
right, inflation that is an absolute record in 40 years and 40 years, i mean the, the, the numbers are absolutely tremendous how much people are using, that you'll hear some say this is even worse for bill. there, billionaires. they have no problem of forwarding or buying whatever they want. sure, they made me. they might make in a year 5000000000 dollars instead, instead of $6000000000.00 at they, they are feeling old, seamless as a catastrophe. that the reason that this is all happening will part of the reason because there is the pandemic. but there is also the printing press on which the united states to a, to, to a greater extent than the european central bank to a lesser extent, quintin trillions, trillions. they ran these for, for so long. they give our people checks, covered checks, and more people used these covered checks for it is a by basic necessities. they,
12:15 pm
they went for electronics, they went for, for luxury things. and what they, steve, is these caused inflation been a supplier. supply chains already disrupt that. there's less things for more people, which means higher prices and people are people have raised prices of people are willing to pay the my not. now we're, we've said all of this, the only way to combat all of this is to it for, for central bank. we, we've all heard, you know, central banks, high rates or whatever, and we'll wait for what the hell that me, what it me is that by way of increasing the interest on all loans, central banks cool off in the quarterly by making sure there is less money to go around, the problem here is that the united states is now $29.00 trillion dollars in debt. $29.00 trillion dollars in debt. and if they hike rates, they, if they hi, grades long term. so for example, for, for 56 years, the issue will be that they're going to make much more payments,
12:16 pm
many more payments on the existing debt. so for them it would be like, shooting themselves in the foot. so they're trying to balance the needs of the economy versus the, the outcry from the public them from the people. and try to squeeze by are either pleasing, ultimately, no one. yes, became an outcry biden's crude words after the press conference calls outrage on line with people saying the insult was directed at anyone who is concerned about writing inflation levels. joe biden may think it's stupid to care about inflation. but a whole lot of americans disagree and they're going to vote this november working families are being crushed by this white house and their solution is to curse out anyone who questions them totally out of control. biden's message to americans concerned about inflation. very stupid son of a think he's left himself open to more criticism about being a hypocrite about,
12:17 pm
you know, how we talked for, you know, during the, during the campaign and over the last year about how he was going to be more respectful with reporters. and then he acts this way, i think, frankly, what we saw was frustration, frustration over the fact that his policies have helped lead to this inflation that we're seeing this record inflation frustration over his rhetoric about shutting down the virus meeting up with the reality of the fact that the virus isn't getting shut down frustration over the fact that now he seems to be flirting with a direct conflict with russia. now you see acting rattled, he's cheery, picking data, and trying to whitewash what's happening. americans are hurting. and i think an underrated element to all of this is the fact that his energy policy is also contributing to the rising prices of consumer good. you know, at his 1st day in office, you know, he went ahead and revoke the license for the keystone pipeline that drove up and then american energy cost, the cost of energy for transportation for creating goods for running factories for
12:18 pm
everything. i mean, that has a direct correlation to deal with the prices that americans pay in terms of at the retail level. so you combine that with the inflation from all the printing of the money and all the paying them expanding. and we wind up in a very tough situation. ok, across the atlantic now there's been a dramatic escalation to boris johnston's party gates scandal in the u. k. the metropolitan police say they are launching an investigation into parties held in dining street. during the pandemic. the police commissioner said they're looking into potential breaches of locked on rooms and number 10 over the past 2 years. as a result, firstly of the information provided by the cabinet office inquiry team. and secondly, my officers own assessment. i can confirm that the mat is now investigating a number of events that took place at downing street and white hole in the last 2
12:19 pm
years in relation to potential breaches of covet 19 regulations. the announcement comes after allegations of a birth, the event being held for the prime minister in june 2020. not the height of the 1st corbet locked on rules out the time bound. most indoor gatherings of more than 2 people from getting together earlier following a series of damaging leaps or by boozy events at the heart of government. forrest johnston apologized to the queen unto parliament. but m peter saying an apology is elena credit. how much more or less embarrassing? so kiss on his colleagues prepared to quality of the act to remove the mind from office. does the mystic set, the prime minister's or 40 is in tatters? will he advise his boss to do the right thing in the national interest and resign? is the prime minister, not simply compounding his previous terrible estates by continuing to deny
12:20 pm
culpability leading to all necessary inexpensive police inquiry when he could do the decent thing and resign. and we got some reaction to all this from the director of the u. k. center from migration and economic prosperity at steven wolf, he believes that police investigation is a tipping point in the party gates can. this is a critical part of the campaign for those who being seeking to oust horace johnson is the prime minister of the united kingdom. is very clear that there has been a strong ciji of leaks and of the stories to damage his credibility and to ensure that he feels under pressure consistently. so an apology has not seem good enough and the brand is damaged. and so there is a feeling with in the new can and piece on the old hands, that pipe protecting the conservative party requires the removal of forest johnson
12:21 pm
. and that is why they are now leaking more information. there is so much going on there now that i think more revelations are bound to come the us food and drug administration will soon have to hand over documents it had wanted to sit on for 75 years. they relate to its authorization of the pfizer vaccine, which critics say was carried out too hastily. the info will not be released thanks to a group of scientists taking the matter to court. we spoke to their lawyer, his ace transparency is vital. no, our firm represents individuals injured by vaccines. we've been representing them for years. we do that for all the other vaccines. we don't do that for the 5 year back thing with modern r j j for kobe, because you can't see them in any manner. we've got waning immunity there, instead of aiding unity. got the cdc saying that the vaccine doesn't prevent transmission. and there are obviously some harm to that scene. cause as i do in public health officials don't deny. there are totally issues with the vaccine. and
12:22 pm
we need every independent scientist on board and looking at the data looking information, helping address those issues with the real problem here in my view and view, i think many is that the very same health authorities that are telling you this part of the state are the same federal health authorities that gave pfizer mcdonough and jane j complete immunity from any liability for injury cause other products. and they gave them that immunity before the products were even authorized before they were even made and licensed and put on the market. that creates a moral hazard by decoupling the company profit motive from an interest and safety . and i think that does concern a lot of people and it should. the development comes as the world health organization recommended giving a reduced dosage of the pfizer vaccine to children,
12:23 pm
age 5 to $11.00. the drug has already been approved for that age group in the us, canada, and the you. however, there are a number of diets over the fast track approval of the shot. the judge who ordered the f. d. a to release the relevant info sees it's in the public interest. john f kennedy likewise recognised that a nation that is afraid to lead its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people. there may not be a more important issue at the food and drug administration than the pandemic. the phase of ac seen getting every american vaccinated and making sure that the american public is assured that this was not rushed on behalf of the united states . even if it wasn't russ, there is no reason not to have transparency but certainly in a situation where. busy was rush, transparency is certainly important. it does beg the question, why does the f b a one way alley, initially? why did it want to wait? as long as it did?
12:24 pm
it claim it doesn't have enough resources, but it has over $18000.00 employees, a budget over $6500000000.00. reviewing a few $100000.00 pages for what a claim is. the most important product is ever reviewed and put out there presumably. and so we did couple the public health authorities own reputation from the products, right? such that they're just viewed as any other products. and then we can actually address individuals who are injured by these products and get them the treatment that they need. ah, george orwell. as classic 1984. it's a chilling cautionary tale warning of the dangers of censorship. but one british university has seemingly ignored the message and said, it's sites on the novel itself. it's up to a trigger warning on the seminal work for it's apparently explicit material. shandey edwards dusty has been reading between the lines trigger warning. this item
12:25 pm
discusses trigger warnings. i'm now going to quote george o wells 1984. so if you feel at risk of being offended, please meet your tv now. war is peace, freedom is slavery. ignorance is strength. future where freedom becomes slain. ah, where privacy is forbidden. the past due for god, his prophecy remains us terrifying. ms. beverly incentive, engaging in individual critical thinking. students at north hampton university studying the dis, stokely and censorship nightmare ah, well receiving trigger. warnings from the institutions very own thought police. while it is not university policy. we may warn students of graphic depictions in relation to violence, sexual violence, domestic abuse on suicide, 1984 centers around a government worker renee totalitarian state. he is followed by the other present
12:26 pm
gaze of the ruling party. and it's dictator big brother. but maybe north hampton university is different from the big brother, and simply one that's looking out for as little siblings who might just get upset or something trigger. warnings can be a spoiler and skew students perception, or was shut down, discussion inquiry, and dare i say it thought there's a certain irony when universities start adding trigger warnings to 1984, there's something very big brother about it. i think 13 year olds might find some of the scenes in the novel disturbing. but i don't think any one of undergraduates age is really shocked by a book any more. shocked. i don't know perhaps by how all well, in his dystopian science fiction depiction of mass media control, censorship and surveillance is becoming airily familiar. in fact, 70 is on it so relevant today that it's still on amazon is best sellers list and
12:27 pm
sets quite well on north hamptons, academic courses, alongside samuel beckett's play, and game, as well as alan laws, v for vendetta. oh, but they to come a trick of warnings, of course, i mean generations of students are ready with a being offended and being able to re do without any kind of supervision. so i don't understand why they have to molly katelyn to protect this generation of students is rather insulting to the intelligence. on the one hand, you have students trying to cancel controversial views and on the other you have academics falling into line behind this kind of nonsense saying the controversial views have to be flagged up in advance. so students must be ready to encounter them. oh, is it kind of infantile eyes ation? oh, student life university and has to be does and must be deplored. well,
12:28 pm
when i was at university, i was reading all sorts of things for my dissertation defending the west, the rise of islamic state. i don't think either of those have made the cut these days to you. but even when i was at school, i was reading to kill a mocking bird and jane air, both of which are now on the naughty sap. okay. kids are reading books these days anyway, they're glue to the t. v screens and maybe that's for the best. i'm every part of it. i get, no, i am free. going to be any more. i'm going to be any. i was going to be a law. okay. okay, perhaps not heather and her family have come to the library. wow. sh, that's the way things are going. papa will be deemed pay guest pinky mpeg a phobic some day. are out of warts and all look next up the company that changed 21st century capitalism. stay close for the world according to almost
12:29 pm
ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development, only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk with 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 you 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? will 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 counter culture and to that, to 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.
