financials, my guy, i hey, i got all my teachers. hey, that's not an almost friday. that's the last time i buy it from a teacher. so i go watch kaiser reporting a headline stories this our rushes foreign minister say they us health fail to address small school concerns about nato expansion or down the 2 sides can start a serious conversation about secondary issues. panic over the ukraine crisis takes that bizarre turned in the western media with one eyed let's suggest things so named russian aggression is preventing you f o. i'm trish from contacting alien also head forest. johnston's leadership is delta potentially fatal. lo leaked email suggests that british prime minister lied about the evacuation of animals instead

of people from war tor enough. got us done speak to us and you know, ologist to explains why sputnik be may of the edge of arrival vaccines against the i'll make cross strain with from moscow to the world. this is our t always a pleasure to have your company. my name's union o'neill. sh, we will get those headline stories in just a moment. but 1st i want to start with a student protesting, unfolding in the french capital. in the past number of hours, police have arrested several people voicing their anger over falling living standards with scenes of officers chasing students through the streets a

the also reports of vandalism on the day. now the organizers say it's a show of support for low paid workers, suffering hardship, and during the pandemic, at one group of students setup barricades i side a school may just be able to make it a little while ago that was supposedly in solidarity with teachers. and it follows a year of regular union rallies right across from over the government's handling of job losses to shoot job at restrictions. so there we have a student protesting, unfolding in paris. lot of a rest, a lot of students being purchased on the street to keep a close eye and developments there. today. russia's foreign minister has said the country is ready for serious talks with the u. s. after washington

delivered a written response to moscow security demands, or wherever surgery left off expressed disappointment that brushed his primary concern. halting nissan was expansion in eastern europe was dismissed. 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's and on the deployment of strike weapons that could threaten the territory of the russian federation. 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 the 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 to 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 a russian officials had over the years, tried to hold the west to that promise. they were actually acting in a childlike manner, according to lab rav in that statement. now, he also cited the istanbul and astonish 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 for 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. lateral 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 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 lavish brought up with us secretary of state antony blinking during negotiations in geneva. actually, let's take a listen to what happened. if your spiritual renewed in geneva, when blinkin, and i, when negotiating. i asked how they could explain the 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 tried to ignore lincoln did not answer this question. he shrugged his shoulders. now loughborough statement actually doesn't come as that much of a surprise, actually. nato just already rejected outright and publicly, moscow's, or proposals on wednesday. and that was shortly after an 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 a 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 of 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 russia's border. washington said that it's 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. among the reaction we got to the developments was from political unless i get hummer. he gave us this taken why the u. s. is insisting and further need to expansion the spine to russian concerns it disturbs the aim of, well. busy dominance and the world dominance is started by making a border between russia and germany and vessel states like the baltic states, poland. busy nowadays, the ukraine and down they want more modo, of course, to, to join the nature puppet state club. and this would form a border that they can hint, the new soap wrote or belt and wrote as a chinese called it from the land wife. and could hint germany or the german middle

span to work together with russians. and therefore. busy even the north spring to pipeline is disturbing because it causes that germany can be energy in independence. and this is not in the interest of us and they to, because they want to keep germany blackmailing that german politicians, even if that happens some accident. and people who are not so in line with the american politics are getting gaining power, but they can always blackmail them and keep them on the village. while washington stresses the need for diplomacy is the only way out of the crisis. some journalists in the us are striking, a more belligerent note, just buying time till they replace to invade ukraine, making you jump through hoops like hand 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 paying rushes game and take preemptive action? now? we can walk and chew gum at the same time and that's very much what we've been doing on. while some journalists are seemingly in war mongering mode, others seem to have lost the blood altogether when it comes to ukraine with western media outlets pumping. i'd some search stories peppered with full sets. sauce, get taylor can tell us more about they say you should be coo and a crisis on last your the media in which case, why when you can become hysterical and so panic instead. and never mind, the cremmit back to the european bickering old body didn't miss an ice cream just after warning about world war 3. after all, will never understand what goes on his head. no, the media pundits what we'll skip the boulder the better, the more outlandish, the better. like this random women and kids, they found just hanging out in 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 of. we'll fight to protect our city. i don't see any sense in the russian starting a war and leaving key of alone. it's strange because usually the meter is pro gun control. i guess it doesn't count a wash of the target. well that's how bad the crate. it says the media says how flies have flopped rags for rifles. the thing is, marianna juggler is in fact a simple ukrainian woman from the territorial defense forces. how uniform is british, another fake story about militants whom western propaganda turns into anti russian freedom fighters. i got 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 is happy 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 visit possesses. 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. yeah, on route to the landscape office, the press things that putins troops might just topple. a giant radiation containing structure that we've more than 29000 tons. you know, system like texas eyes and toxic exposure before the real piping starts. talking about the real fighting. have you read the mirror recently? no. oh wow. so you have seen putin's terrifying optional of high tech support? well, these include, i warn you, the positively fall raising power to dogs. i agree. it really doesn't look like

that dog and the article photo signed up for regular sky diving. and that's because he didn't and thought photo is all based, such and rescue dog, not one of the kremlin canines fabricated by the mirror. but if the ukrainians a don't surrender at the sight of a flailing dog and harnessed the robot tyson flying kalashnikov, are ready as a backup. the still firing a kalashnikov rifle with its own brain is still at the prototype stage. and a pit recently it's an arm show it can identify targets and pull the trigger without the need for a human shooter. so protest dragging out the very latest innovations the special occasion. the thing is the ai collection call rifle has actually been around since 2017. the thing in the mirror fight it entire back. jackson department, it seems never mind all this because the most disappointing thing about this entire process is that puts his plan blocked the world, will put a stop to travel,

highly evolved extra terrestrials probably regard warfare as 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 novice breakdown, they'll need some new readers for all of the welding, panic and dispatch that they've got a cookie southgate taylor on. while the media frenzy over ukraine continues the countries of trin nationalists, they are weighing in. the president of croatia has been branded an enemy of ukraine on the notorious mirror. tourette's website, that's after he ruled, died involvement in any potential nato conflict in the region. just to go through that website, it list thousands of people branded a danger to ukraine. it shares their personal information, knutson,

violation of national law. and back in 2016. miro tourette's, blacklisted several international journalists, working in the self declared done yet the people's republic. afterwards, some of those named and shamed were physically attacked the same year. the government ordered the website shut down, although it later reversed up decision. we spoke with a journalist who worked in the don boss back then and find himself on the hitler's got the owner only. neither i nor my association ever made any political statements . we helped children from dumbass and also help children from other parts of ukraine like live in cock. if i was one of those who proposed to kind of see on a tour for the nobel peace prize, she lost her husband, eldest 2 children. and when a house is bomb, we felt it was a very important story to tell, as it captures all the drama and pain of the dawn bus conflict. we simply helped children from many regions of ukraine as well as children from dom bus. i'm putting this on this list. ukraine is fighting our humanitarian activities. this peacemaker

list, reminiscent of naziism in germany and fascism and actually is absurd because over 20000 people in europe in countries see what's happening these days, but they are silent. everyone is silent. there is a lack of critical ability and moves to intervene and dramatic situations like this . europe exhibit his democratic values only when it suits it. in recent years is forgotten much about democracy in europe is interested in financial gain, economics, money. it should be known that europe's ideals, democratic principles. it's historically how completely forgotten. i truly believe there is no hope next clear. but i believe no one is afraid of being put on the police make list. it says only for domestic political purposes. on a human level is just low to make such lists and constantly add people to it. meanwhile, the german parliament held that a bates on the russia ukraine crisis. i'm the risk of a military escalation. our europe correspondent peter oliver, is in berlin. he's got the latest for the german foreign minister, elinor bare,

bog confirmed that the gnawed stream 2 gas pipeline, the runs between russia and germany was part and is part of the what she called a strong package of sanctions that had been agreed between germany and its allies that could be imposed against russia, should there be an invasion of ukraine? the 10000000000 your robe infrastructure project has been controversial for a long time. there was a lot of pressure on berlin to make sure that it was included in sanctions. it does seem that is the way it is right now in anna lynn about confirming that in the bundle stack. and there's also been an awful lot of pressure on germany from it's e u partners such as poland and the baltic states and from it's nato allies. such as the united kingdom to provide weapons to ukraine. now, the german foreign minister said that berlin continues to support ukraine, but absolutely no way would there be weaponry,

sent from germany to that country in over stack. hey, this is anything that a simple political sam, alice strengths in this lines. it that we have a clear common position. and at the same time we use our strengths in different roles. seminar demands and this is robin hitler, that urgently in difficult situations you have to repeatedly discuss your actions south politically. we have to strengthen ukraine economically and financially because of the 21st century. you don't as rationalist cannon's life. last thing bile from the social democrats also speaking to parliament, he said that there would be no weaponry as well going from germany to ukraine. he did say that the current situation, it's unfolding was the fault of russia, but said that they can be no peace in europe without russia. people, as the youngest one is important. now, war is living right now in the middle of europe. it's about doing everything we can to prevent a military escalation of the situation when it's secondly,

where naming very clearly who is causing the escalation and that's russia. and of course we do not deliver weapons. do you great? and it's about keeping the peace, a lasting peace order in europe would not work without russia, but only with russia. for when you look at what was being said by the representatives of the federal government in the bone, the stag on thursday, the door is open for diplomacy. still very much the option that berlin wants to proceed with and considering berlin does look like the destination for the next round of norman deform talks. sure to be a good thing that comes after the talk that took place in paris on wednesday, wrapped up after a moment, a 2 hour session with the decision seemed to be that in 2 weeks time, as long as everything goes as is planned, that the representatives of the governments of germany from ukraine and russia would come here to the german capital and continue those talks further. the bad news keeps piling up for the british prime minister. a series of

e mails have been leaked, suggesting boris johnson lied by his rule in the evacuation of a plain load of stray cats and dogs from us. get this done. during the last numbers withdrawal. the animal rescue mission in question was run by a former british army officer who reportedly a friend of curry johnson, the pm's wife. it happened when thousands of people desperate to flee, the taliban were being left behind. had before people. that was the accusation. some 6 months ago, it's resurfaced more recently now, but forrest johnson, he's denied that he actually approved the an adult animals out of afghanistan at the time when cobble was falling to the taliban. cooling the claims total rhubarb, but it's all emerged yet again, according to some leaks. emails that have come to light, they said that the prime minister personally authorized the evacuation of cause, boris johnson has always denied it, and he's denying it again today. this whole thing is, is total rebuffed. it was an amazing thing to,

to move 15000 people out of co bolden in the way that we did. i thought it was also additionally very good that we were able to help those bits. so the question now is, did the prime minister actually authorize pen farthings animals to get out of the country via a private chart to flight? according to these leagues a emails and was involving virgin atlantic and the prime minister's top a parliamentary aid. she told the adeline that she could actually secure a plane to evacuate these animals from krupel, and they were actually backed by a bar, as jose in the prime minister, uneven fost tracks. now foss trucks being a key line in that email, because it suggests that she could get a plane in and out of the country at a time when it was nigh on impossible. now, number 10 denies one of these claims. as does boris johnson, he calls it total nonsense that does the story really adds up at the time back in august of last year,

the prime minister and then foreign secretary. they were know it to be seen. both of them were away on holiday leaving junior ministers and junior junior civil 7th to pick up the pieces and deal with the crisis. the government has repeatedly been severely criticized and condemned for how it reacted when thousands of desperate people in afghanistan was scrambling to get out of the country. the prime minister's biggest critics are saying his story doesn't tied up at all. forest johnson is unable to make the serious decisions that are needed. in this case, people were fleeing in terror as the taliban took over kabul and british forces were putting their lives at risk. the prime minister was once again prioritizing the wrong things and making the wrong calls, this demons. revelation shows that boris johnson has once again repeatedly lied to the british people. this is not the man who is fit for office. so how does all of this come up now? well, right now, there's currently an investigation and inquiry into how the government handle the

crisis in afghanistan. but of course, it comes visa, the other investigations that burse johnson is embroiled in, particularly the su gray investigation. and the police investigation into allegations of downing street parties throughout the pandemic as we await the su gray findings burst. johnson's role as prime minister really does hang in balance. now, there are numerous schools across the political spectrum for him to give up and go . it's time for him to resign. they say his time really is up. meanwhile, in the polls, we see labor skipping ahead of the conservatives quite comfortably. now, plus though, there are some serious concerns and series where is that all of these scandals upon scandals of bars, johnson is finding himself in may affect the tories comfortable majority. so in a desperate bid to try and salvage and rectify all of this, some senior cabinet ministers coming out to warn or perhaps even threaten that the only way this is going to end up is in

a general election. and if that were to happen, they say it be highly likely that the tourist could actually lose their seats. so what they're trying to now do is deter. 8 tore back benches from submitting these letters of no confidence in the prime minister as rumor has it. there are almost enough of those that is being submitted that could actually trigger a leadership context all in all really what they're saying force is back as a basically helen tore back benchers. you must now back the prime minister because a far as johnson goes down we'll, well, we spoke with a former british army officer trevor colts who served in afghanistan. he sees the latest gun lead number 10 is just the destruction from the bigger issues. i think this is a bit of a smoke screen right now. we've got to remember that there's a lot toys going around, a boat president, putin on a boat, my own prime minister vs president. this is a smokescreen to try to hide what's happening. cats and dogs, no one gives a crop. we need to start looking at the proper news. yes. that you came to have the

minutes are getting on like, like rottweilers as it is. yes. yes, we have something to write about. we've now got something there to, to replace party, you know, we don't, we're throwing these stupid stories which don't have any credit whatsoever. right. and i, i do believe that the main thing that we should be doing is trying to preserve life . and there is a possible conflict between both the bratia on the u. k. we should be talking about robin cats and dogs. we are going to lose pretty shoulders on russian blood spelt and ukrainian border. and that's where we should be cost on maybe a diplomatic approach rather than a military strike. so let's forget about cats and dogs embarrassed. johnson and party get the rest of the rubbish. let's concentrate on trying to ship lives and stop people from being killed at a senseless war. or i know a story to bring you to day argentina has asked the world health organization to speed up the approval of the russians. but next the shot. when a series is sharing its own data on the national rule,

out of the vaccine with the w. h o, a team of experts from the organization is to, to visit russia next month. earlier in january, a russian italian study was released by the russian direct investment fund. it concluded that sputnik v is significantly more effective than the fines or shot. i can see on the chrome strain providing a robust than you respond among all samples 74.2 percent of sputnik v vaccinated sarah were able to neutralize on the con versus 56.9 percent for face vaccinated. so i looked at the paper and the data are promising. what the paper shows as says foot nick b. yeah, antibodies that i and used by this vaccine cross reckless armor crohn. there is a loss and where to do. but this though, is it already activity that will hopefully provide protection. i found especially ramos in, was the very last graph of the paper near you. it shows that

kinetics of the antibody response, and as the new is our neighbors seems that for some quite rapidly. so after 6 months, there are significantly lower levels of antibodies. then you have shortly after the explanation, my whispered neatly, these responses seems to be master state. i think we should also help developing countries to improve their own manual manufacturing capacity. do i think that m our innate, maxine companies buys that in mcdonough, are going to collaborate, his foot degree astrazeneca, j and j. i'm not sure to be perfectly honest, but i would certainly vladimir putin say russia has an international advantage mining crypto currencies due to its vast energy capacity at a government meeting. the president called for a consensus between politicians and the central bank on how to regulate the

industry initially used on those dcf in we have certain competitive advantages. in crypto mining, i'm referring to the surplus of electricity and the well trained personnel available in the country. when you got an estimated 7 percent of russia's population, whole crypto assets worth billions of dollars in total on this month, the country became the world's 2nd largest crypto mining hub. after most activity stopped in context on them empower black guides and the political crisis. we are some industry experts further reviews the russian central bank, there is there to look after the rebel in the working man's or women's pocket. so therefore, when they look at it from a narrow stand, they don't like this critical currency because that threatens are monopoly. president putin, by the looks of what we can see, he's taking a micro view, he can see the russian polity, his entire nation. and therefore, he's seeing the possibility that there's an economic advantage for russia in many

ways, by endorsing crypto currency in a more pragmatic, better regulated way. some of the things that you mentioned actually on that report in the trailer, in the way in the president was saying very clearly, crypt currency must be taxed and regulated coherently. we're not talking about and why least here, but we are talking about an interesting business opportunity for russia. founding crit, too, is incredibly tough to do, even in a very, very highly centralized control nation. like china, you're still seeing opportunity for people to manage to invest in on the black market. so therefore, i think it's a lot better the government gets in there, regulates and actually takes a reasonable taxation share of people's gains as they do with all other forms of income. they are waiting for all the regulations in crypto area, in money, in their free payments, in financial industry and

a technology. they need more time to prepare conditions or to rules for the game in a rush race, deleting county in my mind, kinda free and russia. yes, now up to 30 gigawatt unused energy capacity, and i see it there. must used to be that much use this purpose ability to kick the council to develop a business. this week at scotland celebrated its most beloved cultural figure. and here, next to talk burton's nighttime, the bards life and times is i'll examine on guest staples for ah,

while you'd have sigh is fixed on mighty things, the face of empires and the fall of kings, while quacks of state must each produce his plan. and even children, lest the rights of mine amid this mighty fuss, just let me mention the rights of women merit some attention on the west. got welcome to the alex salmon show. i'm to a special program on scotland national barge. this is robert burton the season. i'm from moscow to michigan from cape horn, to camp hope, from new phone, went to new zealand to what you suppose and lovers of scotland gather to celebrate his life and work this year, light class, some of that burns suppers, i rachel manual. once again assume that special social collection of speeches, music rest.
