i to less thump ah, these top stories, the pentagon says more military aid will be heading to ukraine, including lethal weapons. but it comes as washington repeatedly tells russia to deescalate tensions with its neighbor. the simmering situation of the board is expected to dominate the thought later of russia's pop diplomat as sag either prov, prepared to speak to the russian media in a few hours time. we're going to bring that to you live also ahead. the scandals continue to in circle the british prime minister is leaked emails now suggest the forest johnson, no prioritized pets over people. during the chaotic evacuation of afghanistan, living thousands of british citizens and allies stranded in the water comes with

and overwhelming evidence of abuse. human rights. water claims one of its own senior staff members was snoop tom or the notorious israeli develop spy web pegasus . she gives her reaction to r. t. policy was shocked when i 1st learned that this attack had taken place and really filled with a sense of address with happy with us just and am here in moscow kicking off a new busy news day this friday, january the 28th. i'm calling right 1st for you this out with and the pentagon announced that it's going to be sending a new batch of weapons and military equipment to ukraine. shipments believe to be the 4th since president biden approved the $200000000.00 military, a package for the country last month as being sent despite the u. s. claiming prefers diplomacy to military action. more on that next from caleb open. 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 that was promised back in december. now, among what's already been delivered, there have been lethal and non lethal. our weapons are 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 u. s. leaders that indicates those $200.00 american national guard will be removed at any time. soon 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. anthony blank and 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 indicate perhaps the opposite intention, what the pentagon is defended the shipments saying they're in response to the potential threats with ukraine being evaded. now, washington still sites the movement of russian troops on russian territory as a source of concern. although a key spokesman on thursday seemed civil confused with his local geography regardless as us have any concern about the stabilizing action at the curse,

straight or elsewhere in the region. yeah, i don't have anything specific on the cur street a curse creek. curt straight, sorry, i'll try that. curse straight, but i will just put the record straight for you. curse. get a city hundreds of miles away from what john kirby meant to be calling the coach straight rushes deploy more than 20 warships in a routine exercise. there something the western nations are viewing as a new source of potential military escalation. moscow's repeatedly denied any plans to invade any country, adding that the very thought of a war against ukraine is unacceptable. meanwhile, in another combat exercise in the baltics for the north, the russian navy fighter jets bombers have been conducting drills against lambaste target to the foaming lane. it's part of the baltic fleets, ongoing wider drills, which are expected to be held in every body of water bordering russia. or can stone from the hamilton coalition to stop the war, believes western countries are simply refusing to listen to moscow security consent

. it's made it very clear, and anybody in the world who looks at the documents that the russian government has submitted to nato and the west, though, you can't see these in the media, mainstream media here because they 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. and 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. i wasn't around 3 hours from now. russian foreign minister again of rob is expected to give a long interview to russian media on a wide range of topics course than likely to include the west supply of offensive weapons to ukraine. also, russia and nato relations talks on a new security system in europe and lots more. besides, we're going to bring you that live when it stops. ah. ok next up, the bad news keeps building full. boris johnson leaked e mails now suggest the british prime minister prioritized pets over people during last summer's withdrawal from afghanistan, while thousands of british citizens and allies couldn't get out of the country. the pay of himself had previously dismissed the claims as nonsense. this whole thing is, is, is total revoke. it was an amazing thing to, to move 15000 people out of co,

bowden in the way that we did. i thought it was also additionally a 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 mountain was involving virgin atlantic and the prime minister's top parliamentary aid, she told the allied that she could actually secure a plane to evacuate these animals from copple and they were actually backed by a bar, is chosen 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 title nonsense that does the story really adds up to try ministers. biggest critics are saying that his story doesn't tied up the tool. 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 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 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, an 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. so how has all of this come up now? well, right now, those current, me 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 suv gray investigation and the police investigation into allegations of downing street parties throughout the pandemic. meanwhile, in the poles, we see labor skipping ahead of the conservatives quite comfortably. now plus though, there are some serious concerns in series, worries at all of these scandals upon scandals, abhorrence, johnson is finding himself and may affect the tories comfortable majorities. 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. boris is back as a basically telling tory back benches. you must now back the prime minister because if far as johnson goes down, we'll well, a former british army officer and the afghan veteran trouble cult believes that

number 10 is latest scandals. just a distraction from the bigger issue. i think this is a bit of a smokescreen right now. we've got to remember that there's a lot of stories going around about president putin on my own prime minister vs president. this is a smokescreen to try to hide what's happening. 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 yes we know 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 forest johnson and party get the rest of the which and let's concentrate on trying to ship lives and stop

people from being killed at assess less for human rights watch claims that someone has been watching them. the global body claims that the notorious israeli develop, spyware, known as pegasus, was used to target the director of its office in lebanon. um, if he shed with his house, she 1st became aware that she was being snipped on. only learned about the high when i received a notification from apple and number. and after confirming that in fact, the vacation was authentic. we were able to review the data on my phone to conduct the forensic analysis and confirm that my device has been targeted 5 times between april august, 2021. during the times 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. it is possible that these attacks were connected with mastication. at the same time i was

to provide, they were on a number of different credits and call us around the world. so everything's cool to say which government was responsible. it is true that the penitent software has been found on the devices, you know, numerous human rights activists. and we have seen cases where individuals have attain where they've been tortured, and where they've even been killed after they are someone they know has been infected with by where the company that developed the spyware and israeli firm, called and s o group. it's tools been in the center of numerous hacking scandals involving the phones of journalists, activists, and politicians. it also allows the tech has full access to a phone, camera, microphone call logs, email text message, and much more besides the data. so group itself said it was unaware of any of its customers using the software against human rights. what staff members adding that, it'll look into the allegation. however,

love of her. he says she now lived him fear having been the target back. i honestly was shocked when i 1st learned that this attack had taken place and really filled with a sensitive address about what government has attacked me. what have they stolen? how do they intend to use this data? it really is overwhelming to, to consider it to know that my device could really be used to get named the way to potentially try to undermine other people's rights. and we do know that there is an absence of a regulatory framework in place which allows the sets of attack to, to present their digital fingerprint, that would help us to, to point to the finger. and this is why we're really calling on to move forward and establishing, right, that sort of framework for the trade technology to ensure that these attacks no longer typically election fraud, alarm bells are being sounded in france all over a new app. so it's designed to match voters with candidates for the upcoming

presidential election of the countries de, watchdogs. now looking into claims that the system not only violates privacy laws, but that it's also favoring president. micron shouted to penske he's been investigating how to vote in the upcoming french presidential election in april. it's a question that many people here are currently asking themselves. however, not so much for young voters who seem to have decided not to vote to tool why i, i think the current candidates are too narrow in their interests is we are a bit lost when it comes to politics. we don't really know what it is. it bomb q, i get the impression that the choice is limited. this year, we are limited to a spectrum that has simmer in the far right at one end in micron who promises many things, but doesn't fulfill his promises at the other. don't worry, hey, to save the day, is the new app a lease? creating by steve being billed, who's the type of tin differ politics?

so the aim is to match your views with a candidate who represented them. the most sounds like a great idea except not to win. the kind of it doesn't meet your expectations, but no, i'm not communist, not me. i just know emmanuel macro and don't say young luke melon cho, antique. but don't know the fast fabian, resell i on sit as i kids. i didn't expect to modify my dad, no politics or i didn't know what it was going to be. that's not the only issue in these which has been downloaded close to $1400000.00 times is now under scrutiny by the french data watchdog. there is concern. this could turn out to be another cambridge analytic a scandal that was when millions of facebook uses half a data collected but political advertising purposes them actual. a problem with the most obvious for benito, stop for us is that they effectively

obtaining information for all their users with all the user really understanding what purpose that information is. but the real purpose on to her ops is to obtain, uses information and then sell it on to political parties or to agencies or acting on behalf of the political parties. so what happens is the user quite innocently might give information such as the name of the date of birth, or they leave, we'd a certain material that my views to brainwash them to be blind about. it pays them . also concerned that the application has been playing the fool you may wonder well none other than emmanuel macro and the french president, the founders of the ap have said that this was

a technical bug and the app is neutral. some people wonder more widely about our possible political intentions. who would like to remind you that eli's a strict and non partisan? no candidate has been granted the slightest favorable treatment. that's perhaps a little difficult to swallow when. for example, emmanuel michael isn't even an official candidate yet, so we don't know exactly what will be in his program. elise has taken mack guns ideas from his 2017 campaign. and since then, you could argue his political leanings have taken a sharp turn to the right. however, the real concern right now is white. so many young people feel out of step when those aiming to try to run the country and how close to they selection candidates can find a way to engage them. showing debowski asi, paris. i'm at a rapid spread of another wave of cove infections in russia. university here is

starting clinical trials over new vaccine. but unlike the conventional ones that are administered with a needle, this one is a nasal sprite. it's based on the existing sputnik v vaccine, and it's hoping it could be on the market as early as the spring. danny armstrong has more details session of university here in moscow, we'll see some 300 volunteers take part in the 1st clinical trials. if the nasal vaccine it will take around 2 or 3 months for those tests to pass. and after another 3 or 4 months, it should be launched into public use. now officials and experts say it should provide the final piece of the jigsaw in protection against the only cron very. and these will vaccine is needed in order to prevent people been infected by the highly contagious or micro variant. if we had it right now, we would spray everyone with the nasal vaccine, so they don't get infected. now a vaccine sprayed up, the nose may sound odd, but recent research undertaken at yale university shows this novel, unconventional method could have

a higher effectiveness against respiratory viruses than injections. we found that local mucosal immunity that's established by intern nasal vaccination, alyssa, it's a much more robust and cross reactive cross protective immunity than a conventional vaccine. that is, is intramuscular injection, quick and painless book. don't take our word for it, for as an vladimir putin has already tried out the nasal vaccine in its experimental stages, back in november, i sprayed one and then the other. i sat there for 15 minutes and it was all over. i felt nothing simply, nothing shows. now the sputnik vaccine has shown to be twice as effective as the pfizer vaccine against the on micron varian and experts are hoping that the nasal spray will have the same rates of effectiveness against that strand of coded 19. now the expectations of experts in this nasal spray vaccine have yet to be proven. it will, of course, come as encouraging news to people in russia where in moscow alone,

the record for daily cove infection rates has twice been broken in january. but with this, a new barrier against that, or mcclung variant, it could mean that russia strengthens, is already world leading defense against the, on the kron varian, danny armstrong, moscow r. t being a brown, muslim, asian boy does not make you a terrorist. that's what the mother of an 11 year old boys said after her son was apparently referred to the case counter terrorism program called prevent. it came off for a fellow student accused him of saying he wished his school would burn down during fire drills. now the case was closed and the investigation found no evidence that the school boy was in contact with any supported extremist group. however, the boys details were added to the counter terror policing database which his mother says she had to fight hard for them to be removed. she also says that although his comments were unacceptable, they were an isolated incident and caused by the stress of homework. i think that

he also suffers from anxiety. we spoke to the director of the campaign group, prevent, watch, with the implications of being on a prevent list. it's kind of a smear on your reputation, even if nothing came of it's like somebody suspected this child of being a potential future terrorist. so that in and of itself can be quite damaging with regards to the police prevent list. i mean, the truth is, is that we don't really know fully what the extent of the impact of that is. we know that there's more than one piece database where people who have been referred to prevent can have their data stored to protect the children. and we know this because there was a cool case which revealed that there were 10 at least 10 police databases that the child's information was stored on. so you can imagine what the implications are. i mean, i'm not sure how the police or the home of this can justify having an innocent child's information on their database with regards to the psychological impacts. what we

see with a lot of families is that if the child is old enough to understand, make usually in the last years of primary school will be in the secondary school, then it can be really disturbing for them. i mean one child, the parents actually had to arrange for counseling sessions for him because they were so worried about how he had internalized what happens him in terms of being with try to prevent all the british government insists that it's prevent program. is that to help people avoid radicalization and that the data is confidential and it will be held temporarily, but layla hodge claims the whole scheme is discriminatory. we know that these are more likely to be more, since it's more likely that the missing child or listen, i don't, will be referred to prevent in the 1st place. and therefore, it's more likely that emma sent child almost them at all, will have their name stored on the prevent database. so it makes sense that if you have more muslims going in a space, then you're certainly going to have more muslims within the prevent database. the reason why, well, firstly,

prevent in and of itself is highly discriminatory and it was designed for muslims. it was actually design post 911, right? specific people them in community. so there's no reason why it still wouldn't disproportionately target them in community. and also it relies on people trusting their like instincts. so it taps into a lot of unconscious bias even so even people who think i'm not racist. you know, it's tapping into their bias. it's seen, look, even if you suspect something is strange, just refer it to prevent men offices, what they will, if you don't have to worry, rather be safe than, sorry, ah, and wor, word is broke it out over. what critics say is increasingly becoming a war on words. us universities found itself facing a huge amount of flag after announcing an event to debate, whether the word professional, racist should be confined to history. ah,

the term professionalism has at times been used to silence and marginalize people of color when attributes of appearance, language, or interactions that have nothing to do with job knowledge, are labeled as unprofessional. with cynthia williams, the assistant dean of community partnerships, the skilled and highly motivated professional with 37 years of experience in academia. ah or i crossed hopes up next, taking deeper into the ukraine crisis and the possible next steps up to which i'll be back here with you next to alta update from moscow. thanks for watching. ah

ah, pandemic? no, no borders line to nationalities. and you various as a merge we don't have with the we don't have a vaccine. the whole world leads to take action and be ready to go. people are judgment, common crisis with we can do better, we should be doing better. everyone is contributing each in their own way, but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great. the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together

with is the earth still large enough to satisfy the ambitions of jeff bezos? you know, it's got its tentacles in so many aspects of the economy. there's nothing that amazon isn't trying to get into to step by step. the amazon empire has extended its grip on the world that walks like end up being quite like a dog gets a dog. so amazon looks like monopoly trades like a monopoly makes money like a 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 world according to amazon. or may or may, we should all be may or may, we should all be angry because

a was going on, right. can't understand united states history and spend the role that slavery play is already a very formal institution. by the time united states became a nation, it actually the find the nation, the rise of capitalism clearly on the backs of flight. and it's laid down. if you had investigated lynching said a great extent. you can't believe that really in the country and 100 stills dances break. i'm from the south. everybody know, know what their figure. to some extent, i would argue that we're still fighting the civil war in the south us when you're chatting with chinese media. huge on the yeah. coming from from dosher rashid camera. hi sharon,

i'm sure sure. with i look forward to recruiting she'd been traveling and kelly retorted quote, and i massaged my issue that i didn't get to learn that. so she gave birth to muscularity. i had a family, you know, if you me here you mom. my mom who's 3 ah, ah, ah,

ah. hello and welcome to cross doctor, all things considered on people about exaggerated rhetoric, massive arm shipments and endless threats. this is how nato presents its vision of pan european security. meanwhile, moscow wait for the us and its allies to respond to its demands and vision for the say. the status quo is untenable. ah, to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guess, philip jer all the and personnel is a former cia counter terrorism specialist who was now executive director of the council for the national interest in raleigh. we have re, mcgovern, he's

a former c i, a analyst, and in brussels. we have here in many, well, thomas is a ph, d and geo politics. and a lecture at leon university are telling cross up roles in effect, that means you can jump anytime you want. and i always appreciated. i got a re, 1st here ran raleigh. where do we stand right now? we've had 2 weeks plus of very high profile meetings. well with the us, with russia o. s. c, e nato. yet that the whole works here. um, where are we right now? because the western media, particularly american in u. k. there are nothing less than a war path. how do we stand? the media is on a war pest. the question is, what is going on behind the scenes? now we know that love are off and, and blinking agreed. less than a week ago. ah, to continue to talk sion that blinked and promised to give a written response to russian demands or russian request this week.
