i, to some extent, i would argue that we're still fighting the civil war. and the south is winning with russia's foreign minister says the u. s. has failed to address moscow's concerns about nato expansion, but added that the 2 sides can start a serious conversation about secondary issues. panic over the ukraine crisis. it takes a bizarre turn among the western media with one outlet even suggesting so name to russian aggression is preventing you f o hunters from contacting alien through the anger or ups and pears with barricade classes and multiple arrests and thousands of people,

including students and public sector workers rally over soaring cost and falling, living standards. and divorce johnson, the leadership is dealt a potentially fatal blow as the fleet emails suggest to the british. prime minister lied about the evacuation of animals. instead of people from war torn afghanistan with broadcasting, lab direct from our studios in moscow, this is our 2 international. i'm sean thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now, russia's foreign minister has said that the country is ready for serious talks with the united states, have to washington delivered a written response to moscow's security demands. however sergey lab rav expressed. a disappointment that rushes primary concern halting. nato's expansion in eastern europe was dismissed. suca suits seduce sonya the cumulative. 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 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 live 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 a 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 lavern brought up with you. a secretary of state antony blank. and during negotiations in geneva, actually let's take a listen to what happened. fewer specials you knew of 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 laval 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 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. or

correspondence, speaking to royce who say there now staying with the tensions between russia and the west, with the u. s. paling weapons into ukraine. much to the ire of moscow, russia has slammed western accusations that it is the aggressor and it's preparing to invade its neighbor ukraine. our nation has likewise repeatedly stated that we have no intention to attack any one we consider the very thought that our people may go to war against each other. unacceptable. as we just heard from the foreign ministry, russia has been making clear that if it weren't for the fact that the west has been pouring weapons into ukraine, this entire disagreement would have been resolved a long time ago. we are convinced it without weston assistance. the conflict in eastern ukraine would have been settled long ago, ukraine's foreign sponsors have other ideas and appear determined to implement the scenario according to which russia must attack ukraine. now, russia's concerns are not groundless by any means that we have seen the united

states and its allies pouring weapons into ukraine. very consistently. we understand that the united states, as has been announced, is speeding up the promise of over $200000000.00 of security assistance to ukraine. and it was promised back in december. now among what's already been delivered, there have been lethal and non lethal. our weapons that have been delivered by the 1st shipment from the united states this week included javelin anti tank missiles. now it's important to keep in mind. there are also $200.00 u. s. national guard. currently in ukraine, where they're operating as instructors training the ukranian military, and there is no decision from u. s. leaders that indicates those $200.00 american national guard will be removed at any time soon. ok, now anthony blank in the u. s. secretary of state has repeatedly said that the united states prefers diplomacy and communication and cooperation. that's how they

prefer to resolve the situation. however, the actions from the united states of piling more weapons into a country right on russia's borders seem to have the opposite effect. unless you do indicate perhaps the opposite intention would. while washington stresses the need for diplomacy as the only way out of the crisis. some journalists in the u. s. are striking, a more belligerent. no, just buying time till they replaced to invade ukraine, making you jump through hoops like and delivering written responses to questions that you, vance at 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 showing 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 and that's very much what we've been doing . and while a number of journalists are seemingly in war mongering mode, others seem to have lost the plot altogether. when it comes to ukraine, even named,

checking your foes, sky taylor has commentary and can tell us more. 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 battle problem. european bickering old by didn't miss night cream just after warning about world war 3. after all, will never understand what goes on his head. the media pundits, what we'll skip the boulder the back to the more outlandish the better. like this random women and kids, they found just hanging out no 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 to it, 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 washes of the target. well, that's how bad the crisis is. the media says that housewives have 4 rugs for rifles

. the thing is marianna jacqueline is in fact a simple ukrainian woman from the territorial defense forces. a 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 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 thinks that putin's troops might just topple a giant radiation containing structure that we've more than 29000 tons. you know, some like texas eyes and toxic exposure before the real fighting stops. talking about the real fighting and have you read the mirror recently? no. oh, well see you. i can see hooton's terrifying arsenal of high tech support. while these include, i warn you the pools actively fall raising power tupa dogs. i agree. it really doesn't look like that dog in the article, so i signed up for regular sky diving. and that's because he didn't and thought photo is all they such an breski dog. not one of the kremlin kin canines fabricated by the mirror. but if the ukrainians don't surrender at the sight of a flailing dog and a harness, what the re book tanks and flying kalashnikov are ready as back up the so firing

a kalashnikov rifle with its own brain is still at the prototype stage. and a pit recently it's an alms show it can identify target some, pull the trigger with all the need for a human shooter, said puritans dragging out the very latest innovations the special occasion. the thing is, the a. i collateral coff rifle has actually been around since 2017, the senior, the merit fide its entire back jackson department at themes. but never mind all this because the most disappointed thing about this entire crisis is that puts his pad block, 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 lactic federation for the time being, quite frankly, who can blame the media and drags and agents and told this. because once they finish driving this wild population to a nervous breakdown,

they'll need some new readers for all that of the wild in panic and despair that they've got cookie. dozens of protests swept across france on thursday, with workers across all sectors demanding a salary height. to cope with the ever increasing cost of living to day broad scenes of chaos with police, jason, susan, making several rest. there have been reports of vandalism, with trash cans overturned. organizers said that it's a show of support for low paid workers hit by swearing, living costs. one group of students set up barricades outside ski. solidarity with teachers. trade unions are playing a prominent role, threatening strike action, and demanding pay rises and sweeping reforms. and mrs. we're here to demonstrate over our working conditions which are continually getting worse. our means of teaching work being taken away from us, and everything has been degraded. well,

that is all to so we see people who got rich during the crisis. billionaires who got richer than ever. wiling. the public and private sectors salaries have sunk to low knuckle deal. we're here to say that society needs to work differently with more recognition for those who serve the common good school and health care staff. those who build social cohesion and ensure our safety, those who keep our communities together and our society doesn't show enough recognition. it's gone crazy. the bad news keeps piling up for the british prime minister. a series of emails have been leaked, suggesting boris johnson lied about his role in the evacuation of a plane load of stray cats and dogs from afghanistan during last summer's withdrawal. the animal rescue mission in question was run by a former british army officer who reportedly had linked with carry johnson the pm's wife. it happened when thousands of people desperate to flee, the taliban were being left behind. hats 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 course bursts. johnson has always denied it, and he's denying it again today. but this whole thing is, is, is total rhubarb. it was an amazing thing to, to move 15000 people out of the building 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 palding's animals to get out of the country via a private chart to flight? according to these leagues, a emails and web involving virgin atlantic and the prime minister's top

parliamentary aid, she told the airline that she could actually secure a plane to evacuate these animals from cromwell, and they were actually backed by abhorrence, chosen the prime minister, uneven fost tracks now fall struck thing, 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 title nonsense that does the story really adds up at the time back in august of last year, the prime minister and the then foreign secretary. they were know it to be seen. both of them were away on holiday leaving junior ministers and juno, 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 add up at all. boris

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 deming, 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 has all of this come up? now, we're right now there's currently an investigation 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. johnston'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 serious worries at all of these scandals upon scandals as far as johnson is finding himself and may affect the tories comfortable majority. so in a desperate bid to try and salvage and rectify all of this, some senior cabinet ministers, a 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 seat. 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. old and old. really what they're saying for us is back as a basically helen tory band says you must now back the prime minister because

a far as johnson goes down we'll, well we spoke with former british army officer trevor colt who served in afghanistan. he says the latest scandal at number 10 is just a distraction 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 of 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 can get the minutes are getting on like like rock winders as it is it? yes, we have something to write about. we've not got something to to do to replace party . you know, we don't, we're throwing this 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 russia on the u. k. we should be talking about top rather cats and dogs. we are going to lose pretty shoulders on russian blogs

felt and ukrainian border. and that's where we should because mom, 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 week, and let's concentrate on trying to ship lives and stop people from being killed at a senseless war. a hospital in the u. s. the city of boston has refused to give a life saving a heart transplant to a patient. his family says it's because of his refusal to get vaccinated against covet. the man's wife says it's a violation of his rights. he has it extremely high risk of sudden death. we are literally in a corner right now. this is extremely time sensitive. when being pressured to choose a shot that could kill him. this is not just a political issue. people need to have a choice. d. j. ferguson is a 31 year old father of 2 and is reportedly suffering and stage heart failure. the family says it wants to move him to another hospital,

but he can't be transported due to his condition. the hospital has defended its stance. thing the cobra drug screen is one of many requirements for all transplant recipients. health care system require several cdc recommended vaccines, including the coven, 1900 vaccine and lifestyle behaviors for transplant candidates to create both the best chance for a successful operation and to optimize the patient survival of to transplantation. given that their immune system is drastically suppressed, we spoke to john dombrowski, ceo of the washington pain center. he says the patient's condition is so severe that the transplant should take place regardless of vaccination status. in ethics, you know, one, we have to, we know, respect to patient what they want. now truly, if the patient is really bad, heart disease but has bad behaviors and things like that in terms of smoking and diet and exercise, he doesn't do well then clearly, you know, those organs are very limited. so we're not going to give it to that one.

individual employee changes your lifestyle behavior. but clearly this is not the case. he sounds compliant with respect to his you know, other issues are really to his heart disease. one thing seems to be the sticking point seems as code vaccination we've done with many patients who are new transplant with a kidney transplant, long transplants before cove it and there's never been requirement for vaccination ever. well, these are ethical questions and if the patient does not want to move in that direction, but truly needs care and the physician and the patient should talk to one another and move forward. so we should want to get some more information, but hopefully we can move forward. take care of these patients. because time is of the essence. let's do transplant and maybe talk about the vaccine later because he may not make it to tomorrow. a 20 year old student from the u. k has avoided prison time despite being convicted of raping a 12 year old girl after his arrest. last year junction joshua moscow confessed to 3 counts of rape and spent 7 months in custody. he was later released on bail and

sentenced to 200 hours of unpaid work, explaining the light sentence. the judge said that she believed the man was not aware of the victim's real age. there is no suggestion of any p to file tendencies at all. what instead, there is a young man who is relatively immature and possibly naive. the judge also confirmed that despite being a preteen, the victim was on a dating up and behaved in a sexually suggestive way. ah, the me with the

right there, my colleague discussed of the controversial verdict with a panel of guests. i am the amused by the story. am i and i'm actually deeply offended by it that there's a 20 by 20 year old man. cannot recognize somebody who is significantly and he is not an adult, not even an adult, not, not a 15 year old, but somebody is 12. so that's just pretty sick making to me. it should be the case if everyone conform to the recommended approach on all of the social media platforms that will be nobody present under the age of 13. and that actually, you know, will be honest about their age and vote for certain graduations above, but i don't think it's a particularly alarming preston though. i do think it does raise questions about the, the degree of protection that very young children have in the law. and that,

that, that there isn't as much distinction between children. the 30 and i was 13 as one might think. although there are differences that can be run. it indicates by the children platform that they were on is not one than i would personally just wanted to visit for a moment that both of them chose to be on that there is a responsibility and especially on in more he's an adult. he should have known, or even had an inkling though he was having a relationship with a child under age it'll, it's against the law and whatever, whatever, or the fact that she was on tinder doesn't give him a reason or an excuse to have a sexual relationship with her, if you embark on a level of abuse, you can be held george out because your identity is known. also, if your gender or your us are the platform because you know,

the other people present on that level had had their age checked, it will prevent you unwittingly, being connected to somebody who was under a. i mean, we don't let our children drive or drink or smoke until they are over an age to be able to take them risks responsibly. and we shouldn't be doing that with social media. whether it has been shown a great deal of hall. i'm going to had that is it for me this hour, i will be back in about 34 minutes with another full and 1st look at you know, stay with us or to international up and so now for the past couple of decades, the solution was always print more money, but now that the money printing is causing a real inflation, then exacerbating all the problems. that solution is only going to make the problem worse. but of course that's what they'll do. that's what the leads will do. that's

what they plan to do. any inconvenience that to a falls them they will answer well, we need to print more money for it. more money and the food will get in shorter supply and workers will disappear and the situation get worse and worse because it does never money printing never work. now we know you need to do this. he is a sphere in your fast, you will fall off the and and the other side of it came from and you're back home. so i would like to envision that the does it, how shall the universe be living is just like that, your one, the action going to and from the other side, 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 a duck inquiry like

a dog 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 as a private arena, a wild, where a single company controls the distribution of all day. the products and the infrastructure of our economy is loose. the whoo, according to amazon, with this is been going business, so you can't afford to miss. i'm rachel, blood bridge or in washington years. and we have coming up the united states as being the highest annual growth rate in nearly 40 years, as the nation's commie roared back in 2021. we're going to discuss that performance

. and as major central banks are moving to raise their interest rates, the international monetary fund is warning of instability. then, days after the bank of russia proposed to complete ban on crypto mining, we're now hearing a different tone from the nations leader. we'll discuss all the latest we have a lot to cover, so let's get started. and we leave the program with the state of the economic recovery and the world number one, economy gross domestic product in the united states grew by 5.7 percent in 2021 as significant increase from the contraction of 3.4 percent in 2020, when the country faced widespread lockdown due to the cobit 19 pandemic, which caused the economy to screech to a halt. annual growth was pushed up by an expansion of 6.9 percent in the 4th quarter. far out, pacing the 2.3 percent growth in the previous quarter. now the rebound came, as the summer influx of delta variant cases waned, but the economy was still feeling the pressure of strain supply chain increasing

prices. and the onset of the micron variant during the holiday season. all of these factors remain concerning. as analysts see the economy slowing to start the year as the latest barrier has caused the nation to see a record number of new cobit cases in recent weeks. so what does all of this tell us about the ongoing recovery? well, joining is not disgusted food, but co host christy. christy. what the take away from the data. what does it say about the state of the recovery here in the united states? well, the main takeaways here are the stimulus injections into the economy worked a work to temporarily booth growth and output despite all of the business closures and issues of the pi chain that we faced last year. so we had government assistant payments in the form of forgivable loans to businesses grants, to state and local governments, and also social benefits to household. so according to the b a, the acceleration in the 4th quarter was led by an up turn in exports as well as an acceleration and inventory.
