ah, ah ah ah, parisha breaks ranks going against nato's bound to help you crane against russians, and that it will withdraw its troops from the alliance at the conflict escalates situation in which joe biden has worn moscow. he'll be for peace in europe with thousands of trip fast. okay, so for the waiting time crisis worsens. during the pandemic, we speak to a mother who lost her son after he was made to wait more than 4 hours despite turning up with chest pains. last january, the price of gasoline in manhattan was roughly $2.37. but now here it be p in midtown manhattan. they won $4.79. most americans say to that

talk concern right now is rising price is more the overwhelming majority of small businesses spiraling us inflation is damaging than badly. we speak to people in new york, you have to make concessions to you to fit your budget by drive the car almost every day, the cost, the gas is going up, a firm is really going up really quickly, really. hi. good morning. you watching out international, great to have you with this. gracious president says that he'll withdraw his country's troops from nato, in the case of a russia ukraine conflict, prompting care to label him and, and to ukrainian propagandist. meanwhile, jo biden's reiterated that thousands of nato troops and now on high alert for deployment in eastern europe, should russia invade its neighbor ukraine, something rushes repeatedly denied,

intending to do that is peter oliver reports on how it's all lead to divisions within one to corporation. president zora milan of ich making so many century comments on tuesday. he said that if there is a conflict between ukraine and russia, he would order the croatian troops to pull out of deployments that they're involved in with nato. now this was a statement that's not only unlikely to have gone down particularly well in nato headquarters. it's also unlikely to gone down particularly well in ukraine either because mr. melana, which also went on to say that the 2014 might done revolution in ukraine was a coo. and he said that ukraine had absolutely no business in joining nato. not only will we not send troops, but if there is an escalation, we will withdraw. every last corporation, soldier, everything is happening on moscow's doorsteps. it is necessary for an arrangement to be found that will take into account russia's security interests. i worked in

the european council when the democratically elected president young cove ich a scoundrel who sat on 3 chairs was overthrown in a cou. it was encouraged primarily by the e. u and the united states. i feel obliged to be proper, present little present in on eastern front of sources and i learn. are there part of our nato operation now, saw you, us operation. the language was a lot more diplomatic. here in berlin on tuesday as the chancellor all f sholtes welcomed french president emanuel macaroni to discuss further how to calm down how to take the heat out of the tension surrounding russia, nato, and everything to do with ukraine. now, the 2 of them use their press conference to emphasize the importance of continuing dialogue, the french president saying he would never give up on the dialogue. however, he did say that there would be

a high cost if there was any aggression and also emphasizing the importance all fit, be good to talk with olaf sholtes. but he did also use his time at the podium to say then to again clarify that germany would not be sending any weaponry to ukraine. also talking about this ongoing situation in europe on tuesday, over in london was boris johnson. the british prime minister. he was speaking in westminster to parliament, and he said this essentially diplomacy was the only way that there should be a solution. he said he be having further calls further contact with the russian president vladimir burton. and it was important to listen to the concerns that russia had. however, he did say that if there was an invasion of ukraine by russia, that it could well end up being the resulting in the worst bloodshed that had been seen in europe since world war 2. and it wouldn't end well for russia. there is nothing new about large and powerful nations using the threat brute force to

terrify reasonable people into giving way to otherwise completely unacceptable demands. i think the americans are desperate to try and pressurize a new government to come on board, but it's new cold war against her and against russia. but clearly there are still some in the german government who would get russia and see not as a threat as a potential. i'm so my business partner, we don't want to make no great those links. and if the germans don't come on board, what the situation is going to be is gonna officially classic situation of the americans taken away for by the puddles in france and britain and with other various are eastern european states, rossi and to help. and we are seeing our america and britain pumping arms pumping into visors into ukraine and making threats, natural sanctions, and so on. there's also major military major navy wargames underway in the mediterranean. those nato drills surrounding me and revolving around the bear,

the american aircraft carrier, the u. s. s. s. harry truman ongoing in the mediterranean. there was also promises earlier this week from the netherlands, spain, and denmark to send military hardware to the east of the, of the nato alliance. the searcher diplomatic solution moves to paris on wednesday, and normandy format talks will be taking place in the french capital. it's the 1st time that this type of talks have taken place since 2019. what that means is representatives of the russian government, the ukrainian government, the german and the french governments will meet to try and find a solution that from petition penalty host. george galloway believes as a deep split between european nato members on how exactly to deal with the ukraine crisis does a splintering off the european side of the nato alliance. germany has made it plain that it does not support the build off of war materiel in

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 the hypersonic. they're 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 hear putin's russia because putin has dragged russia up from the floor where it was lying, having it pocket picked, and restored prestige and respect,

self respect to russia. that's not the kind of russia they want. tensions with westmount rushes announced huge naval drills in the atlantic arctic. pacific and mediterranean, mrs. norton fleets already lost wargames in the barents sea. the forces there are holding there ought to combat skills. exercise would involve more than $1200.00 troops and some 30 warships rushing invasion hysteria gripping the media. some outlets are getting a bit ahead of themselves. sienna labeling, ukrainian territory is russian lead about its party dot com to the u. k. now, where the pandemic has aggravated a crisis in hospital admission waiting times, in one case in october 27 year old norman barker was taking the any with chest pains, he died outside the emergency unit waiting to be seen and being told he'd have to wait for hours we spoke with his mother who expressed dismay at the lack of

treatment. her son received it now tommy and kit chest haines. they said they'd pay for an ambulance, but they got told there was going to be a chill out. like i was actually told us to sit down, but there was no way to say that people were standing outside normally. that part, you know, given a week 9 leave, wow. well, i was still got my given my whole symptoms and i'm only wasn't able to spell it and i need to be told we have to wait for was a come across to me in a galway teach down in europe. stop, stay in before and i bridge to come to. yeah, that is, you know, i'm not the one that fast a lot of lunch because of nash. the disastrous situation in a ne norman barker's mother describes, is only worsening videos of which is claimed show ambulance is lined up outside hospitals waiting to deliver patients comes as research published earlier this

month by the emergency medicine journal. finds that the case national health services struggling to meet the demand for treatment. according to the study, more than 40 percent of u. k. hospitals failed to meet the national for our waiting time target. so far this year, 6000 patients have to wait more than 12 hours uniting to be treated. patients waiting more than 5 hours are considered for greater risk of dying. ok, so similar to norman bakers are on the rise. as the pandemic puts ordinary service on halls, and his 1st year been 53000 had their counts, the treatment delayed over the same period more than 4000 access, desperate recorded. we spoke with joy, deep drover, emergency medicine consultant who says that factors might be omicron very into having a dangerous impact on any just waiting times the last 6 to 8 months within the united kingdom. in many countries, i'm sure they mean 10 to 20 percent of occupancies related

to patients which has meant is slow processing patients listening to video based for people who come in problems other than people are spending much longer in the emergency department before they can go to the hospital so if you look at the interesting in the last to last year to 90 percent of patients who came to the departments and last 6 to 8 months to get to the from 90 percent to 65 to 70 percent. so that's a significant problem. arguments in the united kingdom of face a new survey shows small businesses in america being crushed under the weight of

spiraling inflation. despite the beat messages from president biden on the issue and overwhelming majority of entrepreneurs say, the financial health is deteriorated. in the last 6 months with households also having to tighten about kelly morgan rubles meal. as the saying goes on, dollar ain't a dollar any more, an american families are being squeezed by inflation. there has been a 7 percent increase and consumer prices over the past year. that's the fastest increase that we've seen since 982 joe biden has promised that he is going to fight these increasing costs of pretty much everything. and he has already found someone to blame for the crisis. so bottom line, this isn't just about quick winds, it's about reversing decades of concentration of her workers, consumers and small businesses. it didn't happen any one time. it's been over a period of time now a long time. the average cost of red and new york state in 2021 was $0.88. here,

a popular supermarket in manhattan. there's bread for sale for roughly $3.48 or $4.27. now prices in manhattan are like steeper even in good time. that's a pretty significant increase in cost for the consumer. i feel ridiculous thumb is really going up really quickly, really high on the feminist check. we got off, we got on the boise launch just a regular trip to the supermarket, as it is becoming, becoming more difficult. you have to, you have to make concessions to, to fit your budget, to, to buy the essential things through a feeder family's got 3 kids in the cost, the food is going up. i drive the car almost every day, the cost, the gas is going up. i don't think there was anything class january the price of gasoline and manhattan was roughly $2.37. but now here it be p in midtown manhattan. they want $4.79 per gallon to fill up your tank. if i could get this under control, a lot of people would breathe

a huge sigh of relief. but judging from the way he reacted to a reporter's question about inflation. that's not likely any time soon, a more inflation from the super. some new survey shows that 76 percent of small firms in the united states have felt the negative impact of inflation over the past 6 months. there's nothing natural about it as a result of political decisions and the result has been vast borrowing of money to speculate in the stock market. it. and some of that money has now fallen over into the rest of the economy. and so we have an inflation mostly because businesses have wanted to offset profits last in 2020, and the 1st half of 2021 by raising their prices. now it is

a profit driven decision not to be clear. it's not like biding did all of this personally, this is a result of supply chain issues and a sudden increase in demand as we come out of the pandemic and lot downs. and some of the i a nap or warning that it's not over yet. and it might actually get worse. the emergence of new coven 19 variants, could prolong the pandemic and induce renewed economic disruptions. moreover, supply chain disruptions, energy, price volatility, and localized wage. precious mean uncertainty around inflation and policy policies, high serious public health disaster. colvin and an economic crash on a scale with the great depression of the 19 thirty's to have these 2 things at the same time, was excruciating. and now at the end of those 2 years to have added to it on inflation currently rising 7 percent per year. when workers,

wages on average are rising between 3 and 5 percent per year means that the working class is now hurt by the new 2022 already in the 1st month. yes, this is going to be a very rocky a year and the stock market vibrations this last week are more evidence. now in 1971, u. s. president richard nixon imposed a 90 day price freeze to curve inflation. now, economists are debating what the results would be. biden was so bold and how that would affect the economy. but regardless, so far, jo, biden's protest has to tackle the problem of inflation or just words. prices are still rising. caleb mob been r t new york tech. john spent a record amount on lobbying in 2021 according to filing submitted to congress,

the top 7 firms and to combine 70000000 dollars fighting legislation aimed at limiting the market. the top of the list for amazon and facebook, nana and his master, they spent around $20000000.00 each persuading lawmakers not to adopt tough new regulations. in the process, they use dozens of intermediary firms, deploying professional lobbyists with close ties to members of congress. and by the administration, officials that all those efforts succeeded though last thursday, the us senate judiciary approved the bill preventing tech john's from giving preference to the own businesses on the websites, the innovation in choice, online act as it's no, phil has to pass a full senate vote though to become law. we've, we've been one host avante business show been bust. remember there are about 5 different laws that have been suggested in terms of being able to rein in these tech companies. in this particular case, this, this freedom of choice act essentially what it's saying is if you're amazon, you can create your own product on your own marketplace and then compete directly

with the other sellers who are on there. especially since amazon is constantly deriving information and data from those sellers. so they're essentially utilizing someone else's research, someone else's market position, someone else's understanding of price points to basically copy all of that and then compete directly for a lot of years. companies like facebook and amazon and twitter and google didn't have to spend a lot of money to lobby lawmakers because they were essentially left alone. so you could throw a little money here and there in key positions. i don't think what we're seeing now is a much wider swath of congress, receiving donations and receiving money from those tech companies because they recognize what they really have to do was muddy the waters. you don't want one party to be on your side because when the other party gets into power, then you have problems. instead, you wanna as white of a swath of both democrats and republicans in order to influence them. and then you can't really get legislation passed. you can't get it in front of committees and

you can get the votes that you need. because as you know, we have a very divided congress here. if an ordinary citizen tried to buy not much influence for their own gain, it might be considered bribery. how much of a difference is there in reality, between lobbying and bribery? i think there's very, very little difference, especially when you consider the fact that not only do these lawmakers receive money directly from these companies in order to push their agendas. many of the lobbying firms that do this, there's bidding also right? the bills that go before congress, many law makers don't write the bills themselves. it's a lobbyist on behalf of those companies that write the bills that ultimately become law would dictate the laws that govern and regulate the companies if that makes sense. so it's such a backward system that you've created here in this country where there is very little accountability and very little ability for the average person to actually have a representative. that's what we're supposed to have in this democratic republic

representatives who stand up for our interest, not the interests of these companies. and a few minutes time, we'll look at how high energy pills in the pandemic. a proof proving a band makes of ingredients for italian restaurant, jonas with many of them now poised to go bust after the ring. ah ah ah!

now in order to do this as he is a sphere in your fast, you're far enough and and i'm at the other side of it. he came home and you're back home. so i would like to envision that the does it actually this if you live in is just like that you all on the action. do i need to? i'm from the other side. with italy, restaurants is struggling to make ends meters, record energy bills, compound the impact of the pandemic, and many fear that they will have to close. so you don't see the situation is not sustainable. so raising the law,

we compare the bill of about $1500.00 euro housing 2019, you know, the last 2 months i how cost tripled in november i went up fivefold in december. how late to spill is the 5300 euro, which is the price was we just can't afford the moment when a 5 hold increases ordering the death, the business, the conduct key because we're seen fewer people go to restaurants since coby over cancellations have been rife and the future is uncertain with the next few months looking pretty caruso, nebraska, when i get through a good time with all these restrictions that we are getting, penalize the future for business is also at risk simply to an increase in electricity and gas coves. it is given as a big problem, they call non oil. they want to see those feeling. the pinch, the italian government set up a public parts of 5 and a half 1000000000 euros to offset some of the burden for households and businesses we spoke to italian sees said though, that the helps made little difference so far. classy what i meant there. hey, it's a dramatic situation with many companies on the brink of closing and others already close. i'll government aid has also not arrived and if it doesn't arrive,

there will be chaos. i'm will order it. i already that if we continue like this, i don't know where we will end up on the economy as collapsing. they yeah, it would be a serious blow for all of us to effort to rent their own. this bill increases an attack on families and businesses that don't term much of the low income, coupled with the cost of these bills will force them to lay off workers ongoing new skippy threats. jonah, but i'm situation is true with dramatically. i received a very high bill, you go and in a family we're only was personal work much better. it's really hard to get to the end of the month. have either been told to mind your language. it might have been because you were swearing, but it could actually happen even when you use words widely deemed to be inoffensive, especially if the university of washington's new language style guide has its way called anything lame recently. well, the lo please. so on my way to get you, the problematic word was put on the right by the university of washington. claim

able is, i'm implying this word is offensive even when it's used in slang for own cool, because it's using a disability in a negative way. minority offensive in various context implies a less than attitude towards the community being disco mantra, the cultural appropriation. many people in the buddhist and hindu community hold this to him as a highly spiritual and religious experience, and it is not to be used with nonchalance webmaster races. the words may have been chosen to emphasize the concepts of a free master. that is no work, and a slave of followed the master's orders and every day whit, or an offensive slur. it takes an expert to tell a difference. nowadays. no one hears that those supposed to be no offensive words, and you don't know whether to laugh what i mean. this is a politics and

a culture of utter banality and irrelevance. and here you have steady intellectuals coming out of u. s. universities that are fixated on this pretty symbolism and really playing a word game with no relevance whatsoever to the burning issue of you know, of our day. this is just is it has inexplicable sense. just check a free, an open speech. it's, we're looking for things to sensor issue is how do we solve the burning problems that the majority of people in the united states and world wide traits and what is the relevance of this woke language to those problems? there is no relevance of this language to the real problems that we face that we should be discussing, thinking about and trying to results. cab about with our ra, latest headlines in half an hour time. don't get lost when you're available on a website just to click away and nancy

ah ah, bring you the very latest every hour the day. this is all now snow from everyone. here with is the earth still large enough to satisfy the ambitions of jeff bezos? you know, it's got its tentacles in so many aspects of the economy. there's nothing that amazon isn't trying to get into to step by step. the amazon empire has extended its group on the world that walks like end up being quite like a dog as

a dog. so amazon looks like monopoly trades like a monopoly makes money like monopoly behaves like monopoly. amazon essentially controls the market place. it's not really a market, it's a private arena, a wild where a single company controls the distribution of all data products. and the infrastructure of our economy is lose the world according to amazon long mo, when i want something wrong, i just don't a, to fill out the scene because the advocate and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves, well, the part we choose to look for common ground

it's an open secret that private military companies have been playing a role in om conflicts. world wide u. s. government doesn't track the number of contractors and uses in places iraq or afghanistan, the united states army. and the military in general is so reliance on the private sector. i would call that dependency, but we don't know who's the on the ground presence of these companies overseas. we just don't out west and private military companies can in their turn. views, so cool subcontractors from countries with trouble pass the chances i quite good that they had also been child diligence. i see i was a chat, as i drove professional joe. if he's with the full moon, we wouldn't fool good. if i said that looked with no loan wall, which meant to be merciless killing machines,

now they fight and die in other people's was people carol lot. when a dead soldier or dead marine shows up in this country, and then we start asking ourselves, why did they die? why, what would a fighting for? nobody bother stamps about the contractors in? think this is been battle in business or you can't afford to miss. i make a woman that i bridge a bore and watch again. here's what we have coming up. natural gas prices are soaring in europe as global and certainly continues to drain supply will discuss what's going on and the big coin tel op rages on the world for most critical currently has a lot more than 10 $1000.00 just this year. going to bring you the later,

then the federal reserve kicked off at 1st meeting of 2022. so how many interest rate hikes we expect this year and is the side going to be able to change during inflation for the fasfa? former insider, we have a lot to get to today, so let's get started. we leave the program with rising energy prices throughout europe. there's been an increasing amount of talk over the past few weeks about what will happen if russia invades ukraine. now, despite the fact that russian president has said that he has no plans to invade the neighboring country, the united states appears to be making plans for possible military conflict with russia. and at the very least talk of unprecedented sanctions against russia. though all of this is taking place against the backdrop of europe ongoing energy crisis. in fact, the price of energy across the world has skyrocketed to unprecedented levels. and a trend that's being exasperated by geopolitical pressures. now, according to the european commit.
