i would argue that we're still fighting the civil war, and the south is winning with ah, 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 issue. pavek over the ukraine crisis takes a bizarre turn among western media with one outlet suggesting so named, rushing aggression is preventing you f o. hunters from contacting alien 3 to anger robson perth with barricade classes and multiple reg as thousands of people,

including the students and public sector workers rally over storing cup and falling live in standards and boards. johnson's leadership is dealt a potentially fatal blow as leak emailed suggest. the british prime minister lie about the evacuation of animals, instead of people from war torn afghanistan with broadcast lab direct from our studios in moscow. this is our international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to having with us right now. russia's foreign minister has said to the country is ready for serious talks with us after washington delivered a written response to moscow's security demands, however sergey lab rav expressed to disappointment that russia's primary concern halting nato's expansion eastward in eastern europe was dismissed.

lucas's sonia 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 of 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 leverage 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 to 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 alliance they're going to be a part of without paying any attention to the fact that these same data declarations say that it can't infringe on the security of any other sovereign nation. this is something that lavish have brought up with you as secretary of state antony blinking during negotiations in geneva. actually, let's take a listen to what happened. if you're special renewal 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 try 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 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 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 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. n. u . s. 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. our correspondence talking to my colleague, worry sushi there earlier. now, staying with the tension between russia and the west with the us piling weapons into ukraine, much to the ire of moscow, russia has slammed western accusations that it is the aggressor and is preparing to invade its neighbour ukraine. our nation has likewise repeatedly stated that we have no intention to attack anyone. we consider the very thoughts 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 that without western 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 us national guard currently in ukraine where they're operating as instructors training the ukranian military. and there is no decision from us leaders that indicates those $200.00 american national guard will be removed at any time soon. 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. ideally, you'd indicate perhaps the opposite intention. what it went from on this. i can now cross to can stone. he is from the hamilton coalition to stop the war and joins me on the line right now from ontario. i believe um, can you and i've had many conversations about similar topics in the past. the us keep calling on russia to choose a diplomatic path, but washington sends military aid to ukraine. when did tons of weapon returning to diplomatic tool. let's be clear. if russia had wanted to invade ukraine, it would have done so 2 months ago. ready without any warning,

and before the where the u. s. britain and canada started pouring tons and tons more weapons into the, into it satellite republic and ukraine. but russia doesn't want that. it made it very clear. and anybody in the world looks at the documents that the russian government has submitted to natal and the west, though, you can't see these in the media, mainstream media here because they don't, don't print them out. anybody has looked at those documents, can see that what russia is looking for is security guarantees for its own safety. and what the problem is that the u. s. a. nato simply refuse to these very reasonable demands. and instead of agreeing to these reasonable demands of the west, including unfortunately my own country, canada is pouring weapons left and right and egging on the government in kiev,

which it brought to power in a coup in 2014. and they're egging on the ukranian government to start a fight with its rebellious provinces in the don bass region and with russia. so it's the, it's, the shoe is on the other foot. it's not russia. that's a weight of that sabre rattling it's of u. s. and nato. now, there seems to be a lot of daylight between the western ukraine over russian military with the former, saying russia will attack, and the latter playing it down. how should we make sense of all this? if i'm going to ask you to go down the rabbit hole, if you will. how about washington's modus operandi? is it basically to take the front foot? i think what we're our washington is trying to do is to sneak their

sneak ukraine and through the back door or as they do it in as their proxy does it in the palestine de israeli government creates facts on the ground in the west bank by placing settlements there more and more until there is no chance of an independent palestinian state. and in this way, the u. s. and 8 all including canada, which is put c f eighteens into ukraine and trainers. and i'm bullet making factories and is now sending a ship to the black sea and everything else out there are trying to turn ukraine into on nato, a country slowly, gradually. and what russia is saying is, this will not do. we want to guarantee that ukraine will never become part of nato . it will become a neutral country. and i think that this is a reasonable proposition that everybody in the world should be able to get behind.

after all, there are a number of countries in europe, such as austria, inland, malta, switzerland, that are neutral countries. and at this point, after the united states and nato have broken their promise to gorbachev many times, and it was in 1990 or 991 when they. ready promised him at nato would not expand one inch eastward of a reunited germany. and they put that in writing and there's lots of evidence of it . but since then, natal has expanded greatly right up to the borders of russia in several cases and now wants, as now creeping in since 2014 has been creeping into ukraine. now, can, you can talk about any of this without mentioning the media. mainstream media coverage of the current escalation is surrounded with different factual mistakes or for

instance, sometimes the maps are wrong and even the speculation of the dates are different as to whether an invasion could happen. would you argue that the media is complicit in, exaggerating the threat of war, or at the very least, they're kind of adding this on in north america. here are russia equals bad. that is the position the media has taken. and nothing that russia does can be seen in a cast in a positive light in the media here. and that's the reason that we are. we have been sold the magnet ski act here in canada. that's why our deputy prime minister, christie, of free land continuously sends more and more equipment and aid to ukraine. that's why they never tell us about the role that the canadian

government played in the made my don qu, when they actually, when my, the pro pro nazi elements were given shelter in the canadian embassy right on the may dan square and canadians vans embassy vans were used to transport them around all this is completely ignored, and russia is cast in a bad light. now that, that's unfortunate, and i'm pretty sure the media here also will not tell the canadian public that they're going to be cross canada demonstrations on saturday in 7 country 7 cities, major cities in canada and were using the hash tag stand for peace stand for no war with russia. indeed, kennestone, i wish we could spend hours talking about this. i'm sure that we would have a lot to uncover kennestone from the hamilton coalition to stop the war. thanks for being with us here in our international pleasure. right now, 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 tone. 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. 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 you are foes of all things are to substitute taylor has ro, very own commentary and tells us more they say you should be cool in a crisis unless you're the media, in which case why when you can become hysterical and so panic instead,

and never mind the kremlin battle plans of europeans bickering old bite and listen, i screamed just after warning about while till 3 awful will never understand what goes on in his head. no. the media pundits one real scoop the bowl to the better, the more outlandish, the better, like this random woman and key as they found just hanging out to my window, holding a gun. i have never hunted in my life. i but this carbon, after listening to some soldiers discussing the best rifle to get if it comes to it, then we'll fight fricky. if we'll fight to protect our city, i don't see any sense in the russian starting a war and leaving cave alone. it's strange because usually the mattress pro gun control. i guess it doesn't count of russians at the target about how bad the crisis is. the media says that housewives have swapped their 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 done speaking 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 it 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 gust. 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 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, wow. see you. i can see hooton's terrifying arsenal of high tech support. well, these include, i warn you, the pools a typically far raising power tupa dogs. i agree, it really doesn't look like that dog in the article states. i 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 don't surrender at the sight of a flailing dog and a harness while the robot tanks and flying kalashnikov are ready as back up the so firing ai ecological rifle with its own brain is still at the prototype stage and appear recently. it's an arm show it can identify targets and 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, but never mind all this because the most disappointed thing about this entire process 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 engaging. 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, driving to 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 welding, panic and dispatch that they've got a cookie. the bad news keeps piling up for the british prime minister. a series of

emails have been leaked, suggesting boys, johnson lied about his role in the evacuation of a plane load of stray cats and dogs from afghanistan during last summer's withdraw . the animal rescue mission in question was run by a former british army officer who reportedly had links with carrie johnson, the pm's wife. now 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 course birth johnson has always denied it, and he's denying it again today. but this whole thing is, is, is totally rhubarb. it was an amazing thing to,

to move 15000 people out of 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 farthings animals to get out of the country via a private chart to flight? according to these leagues, a emails in for involving virgin atlantic and the prime minister's top a parliamentary aid. she told the ad line that she could actually secure a plane to evacuate these animals from cromwell, and they were actually backed by abhorrence. jose and 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 all 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 then foreign secretary. they were know it to be seen. both

of them were away on holiday leaving junior ministers and juno, junior civil servants 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. 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 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 or if there's 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 was 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, 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 alicia context all in all really what they're saying force is back as a basically hello 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 toys going around about president putin on my own prime minister vs president . this is a smoke screen 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 told me that the minutes are getting on like like rock winders as it is it?

yes, we not have something to write about. we've not got something there to, to replace party. you know, we don't, we're throwing the 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 thought rather than cats and dogs. we are going to lose pretty shoulders on russian blood spelt and ukrainian border, and that's where we should be cockpit on, maybe a diplomatic approach rather than a military strike. so let's forget about cats and dogs. and bars, johnson and party get the rest of the week. and let's concentrate on trying to ship lives and stop people from being killed and a senseless war. events are taking place around the world for international holocaust remembrance day. but while most nations are taking a unified stance against anti semitism, others are being accused of falsifying the atrocities of world war 2. here's our

chief post, their between 13319451 3rd of the jewish people were murdered by the nazi regime and its collaborators. for the 1st time ever these ladies speak of parliament is in germany. we will address the buddhist in hebrew. it comes a few days after the un general assembly adopted. and he's really jim and proposal condemning holocaust denial. but well times might be strengthening between israel and germany. this is not true for other countries, especially lithuania lawsuit, against the bonus government has been faulty. you n. it accuses the lithuanian government of falsifying the history of the holocaust . this is a case that relates to the distortion of history in lithuania. and in particular, the glorification of certain nazi collaborators or agents in lithuania. so what we are doing now on behalf of the applicant who took the law

suits in lithuania, is making a petition to the united nations human rights committee. and in deals with issues about their right to truth and about the protection against what we might called forms of defamation that are related to the denial of historical fact. they have tried very hard to change the narrative of world war 2 in the house was and i went to why only in eastern europe, that collaboration with the nazis include participation, a systematic mass market. you take a contract with when you get 220000 jews live there. under that, jackie patient, 212000 were murdered. there were less than a 1000 germans in lithuania during the that's the occupation. and in 90 percent of those jews was shot near their homes and it was

a very labor intensive operation. so how on earth could they murder 212000 jews? it's a if they didn't have help. such falsification of history and lithuania is nothing new. several monuments across the country pay tribute to another anti communist hero eunice, no rica that he was in fact a war criminal who was personally responsible for ordering the murder of thousands of lithuanian jews as corroborated by none other than his own granddaughter who investigated the official cover up by the vilnius government in her book, how i discovered my grandfather was a war criminal. while my grandfather's role in the holocaust has been painful enough to discover what has been equally painful was the discovery of the lithuanian government's denial of his role in the holocaust. this is the 10th stage of genocide, denial that it ever happened. we heard from jenny denon, a former permanent representative of the israel to united nations. he thinks that

77 years after outfits denial of history is still widespread. i think we started to forget the lesson all to today. remember the big, we played the survivor and we remember that was but unfortunately, the longer we get from the events of the day that the red army actually entered, the outfits liberated the desk with the mall and a 17 mall holocaust denial and more. 8 crimes against jews all over the world, including the u. s. and u. so we have to remind to ward about the danger of those hate crimes and the denial and make sure that governments take action and you go to commit those crimes . and we have to take action and i call an dement from governments not only to declare and to speak. that's nice, that's important. but it's not enough. we demand, we can't read the action needed you cation,

legislation and enforcement. see bill punishment. and you know, all the committee plans for that is a for me this or i will be back with your headlines in 30 minutes. you're watching or to international ah ah .
