ah, ah, with a lot of it. so right now here we're naughty international, the russian foreign minister sort of a lot for off says the us reply to moscow. security concerns can only serve as the basis for resolving secondary issues. it fails to address the key question of nato's eastwood expansion. aliens refusing to visit earth because of russia alleged invasion plans. the western media appears to lose the plot of ukraine publishing a host of absurd stories over the crisis will be turning to saskia taylor. but that story soon, also on top, she went to rights watch investigator is allegedly targeted by spyware. while carrying out her work on the 2020 bay route glass will speak to her about it.

there's a bit later in this program to be able to speak to a top us back to see an expert who explains why sputnik t v is better than pfizer against all my problems with i'd live in a 100 countries worldwide on air and online at all t daughter cult welcome to your thursday program. i'm rural re sushi ukraine, remaining front and center. the russian. a foreign minister sort of a lot for off has commented on the u. s. on nato response to moscow's demand for security guarantees. elaborate says the most important question has been left unanswered. lucas, it's suzanne, you. the call me on that. as for the contents of the reply, there are grounds for the beginning of a serious conversation. only about secondary issues regarding the main issue that has been no positive reaction. and the main issue, i remind you is

a clear position on the in admissibility of nato's further expansion, eastwood and on the deployment of strike weapons that could threaten the territory of the russian federation. no, at ortiz dakota. now joining us here live in the studio. you've been following this story very, very developing story now from day one. it's not looking good. donna. round one. apparently these negotiations is a bit of a dud rushes proposed security guarantees, seemingly falling on deaf ears. right. the 2 key proposals that russia put forward as lever off said there were just flat out rejected in america's response to them. those 2 key proposals are concerning, the stopping of deployment of offensive weapons in europe that could possibly hit russia and also ceasing to further eastward expansion of nato, specifically into the countries of ukraine and georgia. now that 2nd point there was actually promised to russia back in 1990 when the soviet union was still around it. it was promised the soviet union. and then soviet president mikhail gorbachev was told that nato would not expand any farther than the older river in europe. and

as the russian officials had over the years, tried to hold the west to that promise they were actually acting in a childlike manner according to leverage in that statement. now, he also cited the istanbul and astonished declarations of the organization for security and cooperation in europe. this, these basically declarations, they basically define the framework within which sovereign nations can decide which which military organizations, which military alliances they want to be a part of. and lever off says basically one very important point was left out. let's take a listen what he said. rebuttal, so use the right to choose alliances is clearly conditioned by the need to take into account the security interests of any other o. s. c state. including of course the russian federation. the principle by which one cannot strengthen one's security at the expense of the security of others, is deliberately hushed up. lever off did ultimately accuse professional partners in

the west of a bit of a pick and choose policy when it comes to obligations. it expects others to follow . can you, can you tell us more about that? right, well, he says that the west is basically trying to only pay attention to the closet. says, you know, sovereign, sovereign nations, have the right to decide what military lines are going to be a part of without paying any attention to the fact that these same doc declarations say that it can't infringe on the security of any other sovereign nation. this is something that lever of brought up with you as secretary of state antony blinking during negotiations in geneva. actually let's take a listen to what happened. your spiritual renewal in geneva, when blinkin and i were negotiating. i asked how they could explain their position according to which they consider the commitments adopted within the o. s. e. only as a menu from which they pick and choose only the items they find appetizing. what they have pledged to do in terms of the interests of others, they try to ignore lincoln did not answer this question. he shrugged his shoulders

. now leverage statement actually doesn't come as that much of a surprise. actually. nato just already rejected outright and publicly moscow's proposals on wednesday, and that was shortly after american ambassador john sullivan made a visit to moscow to the foreign ministry to deliver america's official response that came by the way, 2 weeks after it was expected, russia filed these proposals back in mid december and were expecting and was expecting response for a while now. and this is all the while that the u. s. continues to say that there, you know, for diplomacy, but only as only if russia stops the so called aggression. now, what this aggression is, we're not exactly sure, but that happens at the same time that nato continues to strengthen its military positions across the rushes border. washington said that if military advisors in ukraine will continue to stay there for the foreseeable future, and the u. k. and us continue to give weapons to ukraine. so of course we keep

hearing this word, diplomacy from the west, but it seems like their actions are saying something completely different. all right, don't fight for the update on the developing story. appreciate it. let's learn a little bit more if we can and, and get some insight into this raina ra supposed to drill that analyst. joining us live here on the thursday program. great to see you today. straight off the top of your head. what do you make of left off statements today? i think a level. busy statement is right, he's pointing out to the commitment that all governments often a tool should make all to, to what russia, that no security policy should harmed, expanded and then of nato enlargement should harm the other side. security interest as it has been, they did in the if the board in the o s. e decoration. so he is right in pointing out that it is of course, a breach off of the security interest of russia. should ukraine become

a member of nato. and this is just what lincoln bat, that he would not bar ukraine from that becoming also an a 2 member. well, because basically you lead me to my next question, mr. ross. first, the foreign minister said that one country can strengthen security at the expense of another. it does sound logical, but is that a realistic expectation? do you think? well, on the one hand side, you have to admit, of course, that southern country and should be free to join the security alliance as they like. but on the other hand side, you have to see the great picture. if it comes to politics and to security interests, because a company should all be interested in having good relationship with its neighbors. and this, what of course, be at play. should the ukraine join nato and also on the side of nato. it would be

a questionable strategy to enlarge as far as possible to with east, into entering also its own stability interests. if you look at the reaction off the precedent of grey show, who has said that he would withdraw the gratian truth from nato, should nato engage in the ukraine conflict. that show was that also nato can overstretch. and this would definitely be not in the security interest of the need to a member countries. we also, we are seeing certain elements among the professional partners of the west as prudent would allude to them as seemingly not willing to engage moscow on this main issue of nato expansion. i mean, i just want to ask you just, just for the average everyday, joe, what are the west intentions in ukraine? why is it become such an important part of the world? in my view, ukraine has the possibility to act as

a bridge between east and west and the west nato members. at least the leading nato members like the us and all the parts of the, you know, to members seem to be thinking that they can win the fight over the ukraine by force. and this is definitely not possible is not advisable. it would be better to think about granting ukraine similar, neutral status as austria, as also finland and subtle the conflict. but it seems that the west is not interested in the balance of power. and in a good relationship with russia, thinking that all the benefits like and cheaper mission would last forever. if all the other interest, the legitimate security interests of russia breached, or at least ignored. i mean,

you've certainly got certain elements out there that are banging the war drums over this putin has said repeatedly, and i'm really, you know, just kicking a dead horse here, but put in, it has it repeatedly. russia has no plans to invade ukraine. however, russia is putting on enormous navy drills, for example, in some of the main waters around the world. the atlantic pacific mediterranean, the baron see the baltic as well as putting on a very, very big show. but both sides of the end of the day seem to be blaming each other, but whatever that is, disagreement may be between both sides. can i mean i have to ask of you, i have to put you on the spot with this, but is one side right? and one side wrong or they both wrong or they both. right? well, i would say russia has to act this way. if it takes into consideration the past experience, it had to make in bolivia, conflict, and the real conflict where russia acted more defensively and trusted, the west and its strategy and the settlement of the crisis in those countries. and

in the end, russia was only pushed aside and the countries were destroyed by wars that have not ended up to now. so i think russia is seeing itself forced to act more proactively, more aggressively to make clear that there is a red line that should be respected. so i, from my point of view, can understand the action of russia. and i would just like to believe that this red line will. busy not be crossed, also on behalf of russia because to enter into a hot conflict is an easy thing, but to get out is really hard. and we also have to take into consideration that there may be publications that could be rolled out in the media as being an aggression, let's say of the russian side. but we are dealing with

a false flag. this reality has been played out in the past in several conflicts. and we have to be very, very cautious that such, i would say cleansers dine strategies are not being rolled out here in the ukraine . we have to de escalate the situation as soon as possible. get back to the negotiation table, but that means of course, that also the nato leaders offer real real use. and that's very interesting insight from ryan, a ross 1st geopolitical analysts joining us here live on r c. thanks for that. we appreciate it. thank you. walla washington. stretches the need for diplomacy is the only way out of this crisis. there are some journalists to a striking, a slightly more buttons, your tongue, just buying time till they replace to invade ukraine, making you jump through hoops like han, delivering written responses to questions that you've answered time and time again . in the past. meanwhile,

that the stabilizing ukraine from within the economy's crumbling, you're spending hundreds of millions of dollars throwing them up. what point do you stop playing rushes game and take preemptive action? now? we can walk and chew gum at the same time. that's very much what we've been doing. well, some journalists are in war mongering mode, others actually seem to have just lost the plot. all together with the western media outlets are putting out some rather absurd stories. let's pick it up now, his aunties saskia. they say you should be coo and a crisis on last your the media in which case why when you can become hysterical so panic instead. and never mind the criminal battle probably european bickering or by didn't miss night cream. just after warning about world war 3 off rule will never understand what goes on in his head. the media pundits what we'll scooped the boulder the better, the more outlandish, the better. like this random women and kids, they found it hanging out a window holding a gun. i have never hunted in my life. i bought this carbon after listening to some

soldiers discussing the best rifle to get if it comes stood, then we'll fight for key. if we'll fight to protect our city, i don't see any sense in the rush and starting a war and leaving cave alone. it's strange because usually the major pro gun control, i guess it doesn't count of russians of the target. well, that's how bad the crisis is. the media says that housewives have what they're rags for rifles. the thing is, marianna juggler is in fact a simple ukrainian woman from the territorial defense forces. her uniform is british, another fake story about militants whom western propaganda turns into anti russian freedom fighters. again, to cite guns, fake he's as great when it's directed against the russians. i guess there's only a certain number of undercover housewives in ukraine. so the media had to look elsewhere specifically at a map. and it's noticed that the quickest way from moscow to key f as

a fire churn noble making at the lowest logical invasion route. also making russians pretty much the only willing visitors essence, well, 1986. the risk of a war for the spreading radiation seems minimal, but one object in the zone is particularly vulnerable. a new $1700000000.00, stainless steel arch over the destroyed reactor. it was completed in 2016 to prevent the spread of highly radioactive dust. yes, on route to the landscape office, the press things that putin's troops might just topple a giant radiation containing structure that weighs more than 29000 tons. you know, some light texas eyes and toxic exposure before the real fighting stops. talking about the real fighting and have you read the mirror recently? no. oh, wow. see you. i can see hooton's terrifying arsenal of high tech support. well, these include, i warn you, the positively far raising power tupa dogs. i agree,

it really doesn't look like that dog in the articles photo signed up for regular sky diving. and that's because he didn't and thought photo is all they such an rescue dog, not one of the kremlin kin canines fabricated by the mirror. but if the ukrainians a don't surrender at the sight of a flailing dog and a harness. what the world, what types and flight kalashnikov are ready as back up? the still firing ai ecological rifle with its own brain is still of the prototype stage and a pit recently it's an om show. it can identify target some, pull the trigger with all the need for a human shooter. so potent dragging out the very latest innovations. the special occasion, the thing is, the ai kalashnikov rifle has actually been around since 2017, the thing yet, the mera fide, it's entire back jackson department, at themes. and never mind all this, because the most disappointing thing about this entire crisis is that puts his pad block, the world will put a stop to travel, highly of old,

extra terrestrials probably regard will ferris something, the only primitive civilizations engagement? so the ukraine situation means we're unlikely to get an invitation to join the federation for the time being, quite frankly, who can blame the media driving the aliens and told us, because once they finish driving, this wild population to a nervous breakdown, they'll need some new readers for all that of the world to panic and dispatch that they've got a cookie. the mobile phone of a top human rights watch investigator has allegedly been hacked. lama key was looking into the 2020 bay route explosion at the time. now she was alerted that her iphone may have been targeted by the notorious surveillance tool pegasus. it allows or talking to full access to a phones, camera, microphone call logs e mails, text them more. the company in charge of the spyware is an israeli private firm,

called the n s o group. it's tool has been at the center of numerous hacking scandals involving the phones of john lists activist and politicians. the company says though we only sells spyware to governments to fight terrorism and crime, we can now cross live to lama. he herself, she's a crisis in conflict director or the direct to the human rights force. thanks so much for joining us here at auto and national. how did you find out that you had been hacked? so i only learned about the hack when i received a notification from apple and lake of amber. and after confirming the fact that the cation was authentic, we were able to review the data on my phone to conduct the forensic analysis and confirm that my devices had been targeted 5 times. between april august, 2021. the n s. a group behind the spy by did they help at all? i mean, do they offer assistance to my guess to provide to you to investigators or we did

contact and so group about the attack killer time that it has happened and asked them if they believe that it was the appropriate use of their technology. they indicated that it would not be and that they were conducting the assessment to see an investigation was, was warranted. the n. s a group the, the n s o group i just had, beg your pardon itself, software, it's a different states. and organizations who do you think is behind this potential attack in your case and h, any traces or any think of prints perhaps, you know, digital fingerprints left behind. unfortunately, because of the nature of my work, it is really difficult to pinpoint which government is responsible for this attack . and we do know that there is an absence of a regulatory framework in place which allows the sets of attack to, to persist their digital fingerprint. that would help us to, to point to finger, and this is why we're really calling on state to move forward and establishing. right. that sort of framework for the trade off acknowledges to ensure that these

attacks no longer take lee. so let's talk about potentially why you are hot here because you were doing an investigation of the bay roof explosion. this was august 2020. i think a lot of people may have forgotten about this. august 20, 2200. 19 people died in that last. the pictures looked like an atomic bomb went off right there all along. the waterway that the crater the devastation from what was allegedly applying to a storage of ammonium nitrate exploded that tell us about if you can quickly tell us about your investigation of the favorite explosion. do you think maybe you upset the wrong people so that during the time of the attack between april and august of last year, i was working very intensively on an investigation to see which the government officials were couple were responsible for this last having taken place in this market place and getting destruction that explosion, ross, if we have been published or finding that our work is in this case,

and it's always been transparent. so you know, it is possible that these attacks were connected with the investigation. at the same time i was to provide that were on a number of different credit process around the world. so again, it's very difficult to say which government, which is possible and to understand even what data they may have taken and how they intend to use that data. these are all questions that i still did not have answers for what certainly comments on line to people trying to link some sort of heads below. i goal here, the n s o group isn't israeli group, and i was just checking a, for example, going back to november 2021. the bbc said regarding the pay route. last, the united nations actually ignored requests for the port disaster the, the evidence to be presented. why do you think that might be the case? so if i don't have any indication that high school is connected to the attacks on my phone and i, you know,

i don't see that there would be any evidence of something. well, i wasn't saying has ball it was attacking your phone. i was saying that some people have connected, basically the israel, it doesn't have the best relationship with has block. and so you were investigating this block which happened in in bay route. and you were essentially hacked by an israeli company. that's true. and a soaker israel. and this is their software that was found online devices, but it's not the 1st time though this group has been at the center of a hacking scandal. as i understand that software has also been used and espionage against what various human rights activists and even allegedly played a role in the killing of gym off shore g g. a. think in some way that this, this group is n s o has, has protection so it is true that the pegasus software has been found on the devices, you know, numerous human rights activists and journalists. and these do have real life

consequences. you know, we have seen cases where individuals have been detained, where they've been tortured, and where they've even been killed after they are someone they know have been infected with spyware. and this is again, why we're calling on government to move forward and establishing a right, respecting regulatory framework for it. to be honest, acknowledges government to stop, to companies for property off of rights. if ristocki i've got to put you on the spot, if i may. and by all means, tell me no, but, but any idea who is behind the hocking on your phone, really what, what are the intentions? what are the motivations who are potentially the secret key state play as unfortunately, i don't know. i would really love to know which government was responsible was government illegally. so all my data. but there are no indicators, you know, sort of digital indicators that will allow me to say definitively who, who is responsible for this on the whole tack. how did this case affect you and your investigative work? i mean, i've, you have you face any problem since,

since you are so, you know, it because of the nature of my work i and very aware that these types of attacks take place and we do have very rigorous digital security protocols in place. but this type of attack which is. busy 0 quick attack, it means that i don't have to do anything like click on a link for the, for the attack to begin. and there really is no way to prevent an attack. so i mean, one of the things that have justin to top is with a just to limit the amount of data that is on, on my, to buy it does make our work harder, detective attacks and it doesn't make it clear. how do you, how do you personally feel about this situation? misaki i, did you feel a sense of violation that your privacy has been intruded, or of course, i mean my privacy in my family that of my contact. you know, i honestly was shocked when i 1st learned that this attack had taken place and

really filled with a sensitive address about, again, what government has attacked me, what have they stolen? how do they intend to use this data? it really is overwhelming to consider, you know, our phones are really, you know, much more than the gateway to just so much now, particularly in time to close it. and so to know that my device could really be used to get named the way to potentially try to undermine other people's right. you know, it's very disconcerting. and again, i felt, you know, that was important to come forward to discuss the half because i think it is important for people to understand what types of people are being targeted as an invitation to the tab lama key. the crisis and conflict directory human rights watch. it's a fascinating story to stay at the same time. we have more information about the r t dot com right now. we appreciate your time. thanks for joining us. thank you. think it will aren't. tina has off the world health organization to speed on the

approval process of rushes. sputnik v vaccine. it's now sharing its data on the job with the w. h. o. a team of experts from the organization is due to visit russia next month. what's more, a russian italian study released by the russian direct investment fund earlier this month found that sputnik v is more effective against the armor constrained than that of the pfizer shop among all samples, 74.2 percent of sputnik the vaccinated sarah were able to neutralize on the con versus 56.9 percent suffice vaccinated. so i looked at the paper and the data promising. what the paper shows is, says, nick, please, yankee body said i induced by this scene cross this alma cross isn't lost and ready to do, but there is still residual activity that will hopefully provide protection. i

found, especially promising was the very last scrap of the paper shows that kinetics of the antibody response, and as the new design a big scene that folds up quite rapidly. so after 6 months there are significant lower levels of antibodies. then you have shortly after the explanation of these responses seems to be most to say, i think we should also help developing countries to improve their own menu manufacturing capacity. do i think that our, in a mixing companies that are going to collaborate with us to the next all j j? i'm not sure what to do, but i would say it is. it's a national di for moscow, russia. the prosecutors have opened a criminal case against the u. s. citizen suspected of smuggling large amounts of narcotics into the country. the suspect is a form of diplomat. in the video,

we can show you lauren foresman, searching and english school right here at moscow. it's where the suspect worked. a police say he was selling drugs to students in 2021. he was employed at the u. s. embassy, and supposedly, supposedly use his diplomatic privileges to transfer illegal substances into russia . he was arrested last august at the airport along with his wife as we understand, police found marijuana in their luggage. yeah, there's more about that story right now at auto dot com many other stories as well . if you want to catch up on on. see the very latest are not developing stories r t dot com is your source. thanks for joining us with baxter mass kaiser's financial survival guide. liquid assets are those that you can convert into cash quite easily. but keep in mind, no,

as if the mean to inflation better watch guys report now we know unit b, earth is he is a sphere in your fast, you're fall off and and the other side of it came from and you're back home. so i would like to envision that to you, does it also the universe, if you live in is just like that, your one direction do i need to? i'm from the other side. it's an open secret that private military companies have been playing a role in our 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 and general. so reliance on the private sector, i would call the 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. cannon in their turn use so

called subcontractors from countries with trouble pass. the chances are quite good that they had also been child diligence processes. i was a child, as well as my job professional job is he's with the whole 141. if i said that with with no limit pneumonia, if you want. sure. which way to be merciless killing machines? now they fight and die in other people's was people carol lock when a dead soldier or dead marine shows up in this country and we start asking yourself, why did they die? why do what were they fighting for? nobody bothers down to about the contractors in.
