a dead soldier or dead marine shows up in this country and we start asking ourselves, why did they die? why, what were they fighting for? nobody bothers down to about good contractors. oh, it depends on the russian federation. then there will be no war. we don't want any wars, but we will also not allow our interest to be rude. we trampled on and ignored. i'm in a growing stand off with the west or the ukraine. russia's top diplomat stress is most go does not want conflict, but insist security must be ensued with potentially fatal blow to boris johnson's leadership leak. female suggests the u. k. prime minister may, how prioritize the people during the cale think evacuation of afghanistan leaving thousands of british citizens and allies funded in the war torn country and

overwhelming evidence of abuse. human rights watch claims, one of its own senior staff members with snoop on by the notorious is ready to but by web pegasus, she gives her reaction to aussie. honestly was shocked when i 1st learned that this time i taking place and really filled with a very well welcome from our team here in moscow. this is our t international with the latest world news. it's good to have you with russia does not want to pool the countries foreign minister has found out clearly most growth position on escalating tensions with the west. however, he also insisted russia can't just stand by watching its interests being ignored. so a lot of rob said his thoughts during a 90 minute interview to russian journalists among them. was ortiz, editor in chief margarita manion. his work mister love. rob has to say. yes,

this is alicia authorities configured silently. is it depends on the russian federation. then there will be no war. we don't want any wars, but we're also not allow our interest to be brutally trampled on and ignored. the foreign minister was asked many questions about the tensions about what russia is going to do about them and where ultimately this is all going to lead where there's going to be a boy. he himself was much more diplomatic with regards to the america documents, the counter proposals to russian security proposals that arrived in moscow just 2 days ago that the united states finally sent and writing, which is something that russia now demands given how in the past that fields cheated by verbal guarantees that it was given. so now it insists on a on document on paper in writing guarantees. and what marsha, sort of guarantees that ultimately, if the gist of it is the nato missiles and troops on stationed in the near future

on russia's borders, or any closer to russia's borders than they are now. and that is something that, according to many officials, that wasn't included in these documents, he himself, the farmers, the labyrinth was much more diplomatic. he said that the, they're analyzing them. and that they've received the documents from both the united states and nato at he was much less diplomatic about what he had received from nato. however, or to lug nut fornia. in contrast to what we've received from nato, the american response is almost like a model of diplomatic decency. the response from nato is so ideological, it breeze so much with the exclusivity of the north atlantic lines that i was a little ashamed of those who wrote these texts. previously, we had heard from other officials that the documents, the counter proposal sent by the united states. i didn't address a single one of russia's concerns that they made the promises that they threw

expand further east, or does it ultimately that those and no guarantees that those missiles, they to missiles american missiles, of wouldn't be stationed ever closer to russia. nevertheless, he says, there is some optimism varies the negotiation. there are tools that are ongoing and perhaps a solution might be reached the solution which satisfies both the united states and russia. nevertheless, we must account. he says, for relations relations, which for years i have a deteriorated, which i now at a level that has catastrophic and which were, which says a lab, rob says a much you to the fault for which is much in it. i did, said scored what with various demands that they have made over the years with regards to russia, you slew on, you know, if they insist that they will not change their position, we will not change opposition either. it's just that their position is based on false arguments on

a direct turning over the facts and opposition is based on what everyone signed up under. and here i don't see any room for compromise. otherwise, what is they to agree on? if they frankly sabotage and misrepresent the old decisions, this will be a key test for us. i'd russia with regards to what is happening in ukraine of the russian foreign minister also said that the united states and nato are pushing ukraine towards an escalation. they're pushing them with a vast amount of arms. we've had the united states posting about 283 tons of the lethal farms and other equipment that they have delivered to ukraine in the last few months. and this is, this came, was as a boast, the russian say that ultimately the united states is using, using ukraine in order to achieve its own goals, which are to contain russia and ultimately focus on china. you for answer your money, you will to france, germany and the european union called russia

a conflict country. what can be negotiated then when they say you must comply with the minsk agreements? we asked them what exactly of these points should russia fulfill? nobody answers but cave realised that berlin in paris would not force it to comply with the minsk agreements. so they understand that now they can do everything by the zelinski and his regime a used 1st of all by the americans in order to escalate tensions. their main goal is not the future of ukraine, but a heightened tensions around russia and then move on to china. ultimately the russians say that their nice side, the only power on earth that can force the ukrainian government to follow through with a minsk agreements, a comprehensive peace plan to end the civil war. and you grid that the only power that can force you credited to abide by them is the united states and that isn't interested them seeing them minsk agreements fulfilled because that would lead to a d escalation. that there wouldn't be a need to keep pumping weapons into your credit, and there wouldn't be

a need to escalate tensions with russia. and this is something the ukrainians are beginning to understand. foreign minister elaborate says that they are being used at some time. so sometimes, regardless of despite what they want, the ukraine as plane, the united states and the media for escalating the situation. there have been graded officials that have said there is no evidence that the russians are preparing for an invasion. and that the only odds of war with sea have been on television and from the mouths of various politicians. there is also a gay lab. rob said the fear that the, the situation could be, could go out spiral out of control because of elements that the key of that ukraine doesn't control. and that is various extremist and volunteer battalions. 5 his odd to the t station near the conflict lines. who could, on the orders of someone else, carry out a provocation of a could escalate things even further. when we,

while the pentagons announced it will be sending a new batch of weapons and military equipment to ukraine to spot the u. s. claiming it prefers diplomacy of a military action, the shipment of believe to be the 4th since president bind and approved a $200000000.00 military aid package for the country last month. washington still sites the movement of russian troops on russian territory as a source of concern. although a case spokesman on thursday seemed somewhat confused with his local geography. regardless of 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, straight curse creek. kirk straight. sorry, i'll try the curse straight. but well, let's just clear that up for you. cosca is a city hundreds of miles away from what john coby meant to meet with. many be calling the cut straight rush is deployed more than 20 warship for the routine

exercise that something western nations a view and give a new source of potential military escalation. moscow has repeatedly denied any plans to invade any country. meanwhile, in another combat exercise in the bowl 6 russian navy, find the j sounds almost half conduct the drill against the non target bombing. re lot of the bowls exceed phone going, why to drove, which will be held in every body of water bordering russia. let's get more on this with geopolitical analysts down the executive editor of 21st century wine dot com, patrick hennings room. so the headings when thank you for joining for the program, it's great to see you so. so a lot of rob today has been very clear. how can he russia once know was but the west is also clear, insisting russia does one was, so why did we stand patrick? it's, it's funny when you're reading the objections at the united states representatives are quoting forward, it's almost like a, a bullet point list of what the united states itself is doing. they're,

they're demanding that russia deescalate, their aggressive behavior stops inflammatory rhetoric. approaches. discussions on collective european security with a spirit of reciprocity. these are all things that the u. s. themselves are either doing or not doing in the demands that the united states is making to russia. so, you know, from a diplomatic point of view, i can really see the frustration in moscow. this is almost like you're dealing with a party. it's very difficult to take seriously and have any sort of meaningful bi lateral diplomacy or negotiations. it's quite amazing how many times russia hasty has to repeat that he doesn't want any war. how feasible is it? do you think that russia could convince western countries that have no time to invite ukraine? well, the problem is, and i think this is now starting to get flushed out quite well in the media. now, with the recent story that was published by cnn,

a we're by ukranian officials are saying that, you know, the u. s. is leaking falsehoods about an imminent russian invasion. and so, according to this ukrainian official, and this was published in cnn of all places that i know that there is no eminent russian invasion. they don't have plans to sac key have as many in the u. s. in the media, crowing about right now, i mean, talk, talk about inflammatory rhetoric. so you can see we're making pot possibly here. where are the ukrainians and ukrainian government are in fact seeing that there is a lot of media manipulation going on on the western side is specially in the u. s. in the u. k. i say it's interesting, isn't it the how washington plans to use it's leverage either ukraine la revo. so said, is it only be americans are able to influence ukraine now, how to expect things to play out? it really depends on a few things. um,

one of them is whether or not there can be any chance that ah, presents zalinski can engage with moscow directly or without having to go through the middle man of, of some sort of us or nato intermediary or some elaborate summit that i'm sure of the u. s. would like to be shepherding in geneva or something like this, in order to quote, i fuse the situation. so, i mean that's with really missing in this is really meaningful a bilateral talks of between 2 neighboring countries, the ukraine and russia. so, you know, when that happens and, and when the, if you look at the minks accords and the countries that are hardy to that agreement, and if that can be sort of a put forward and moved forward, i think then you have a real chance for some progress in this stalemate, specifically regarding the don bass, but what really everyone wants to see is they want to see a seat far,

or they want to see a secession of hostilities. i'm sure most parties want to see that, but it doesn't seem like that's really what the united states wants. and this in lies the problem. or the other thing is that the u. s. is calling for a diplomatic solution at the same time, extending its full shipment of arms into ukraine to think, hypocritical. what is it? if you listen to anthony blinking statement as press conference yesterday, he seems to be concerned with 2 things. one of them is stockpiles of weapons and the flow of weapons and the other, his stockpile of energy. but it's interesting to the united states is and then britain are leading the charge to stop to nordstrom, to pipeline, from going online between russia and germany. at the same time, tony blank and his saying that, well, we need to stop russia from weapon ising. its gas supply, cutting off its gas supply in europe, because it will destabilize the is when in fact, this is what the u. s. the u. k. and some of the nato ellers are doing their actor

. they're working vehemently to stock. russian gas supplies from entering europe and stabilizing the spot price for natural gas, for instance. so it's hard to take them seriously when they're saying 2 different things in the same speech, it's on pretty, pretty incredible. russia was sick oliver speaking today said he wants to continue with talks with the u. s. a nato, to try to resolve the issue. do you expect any of moscow's red lines to be respected, though? i don't know. i don't know. i'm not encouraged by this sort of speech that was given by yon stoughton berg, director nato, which they posted online or just yesterday. it's not very encouraging. it is a highly politicized. and as your previous commentator noticed ideological in a sort of approach, and this is the opposite of what you'd expect from nato. but it seems like it was

nato take in the ideological lead and the sort of battle to spread freedom and democracy around the world. or is this normally the purview of countries like the united states? so it's very confusing right now. and nato is desperate to find relevance in the world, and it is really working hard to try to i think wrap up this crisis in order to keep itself relevant. so this is so what we see anyway that are having some technical unless executive editor of 21st century y dot com. thank you very much for your time today. if you, ah, the bad news keeps building for boris johnson leaks. email suggest the british prime minister prioritize pets, either people during loss them as withdrawal from afghanistan or thousands of british citizens and allies couldn't get out of the country. the pm had previously dismissed the claims as nonsense. yes, the message is attained by sky news, a pet to show the i left was authorized by johnson himself.

equivalent charity run by x royal marine has received a lot of publicity and the pm has just authorized their staff and animals to be evacuated. animal charity are hoping to be treated in the same capacity. 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 mouse was involving virgin atlantic and the prime minister's top parliamentary aid, she told the allies 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 foss trucks 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 total nonsense. that does the story really adds, ah, the prime minister's biggest critics are saying. c that his story doesn't add 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 the repeated they 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 minutes. his ann journals, it's 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, 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 and castigation 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 were some serious concerns and serious worries at all of these scandals upon scoundrels of forest johnson is finding himself in 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. oh, really, what they're saying? force is boxes are basically telling tory back benches. you must now back the prime

minister because a far as johnson goes down, we all, well, from a british army officer and afghan veteran trevor cult believes number tends latest . scandal is just a distraction from the big issues. i think this is a bit of a smoke screen right now with got to remember that there's a lot of stories going around a boat present on my own prime minister. yes, president. this is a smoke screen to try to hide what's happening. we need to start looking at the proper news. yes. the you can't be that the minutes are getting on like, like rock winders as it is just yes, we know how to write about. we've no get something to do to replace party get. no, we don't. we're throwing the stupid stories which don't have any presence whatsoever right night. i do believe that the main thing that we should be doing is trying to preserve life on there is a possible conflict between both the russia on the u. k. we should be talking about robert thompson, dogs. we are going to lose pretty shoulders on russian blood spelled and ukrainian

border, and that's where we should because pittman 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 which let's concentrate on trying to ship lives and stop people from being killed and assessment worth. being a brown, muslim, asian boy does not make you a terrorist. that's what the mother of an 11 year old boy has said off to her son was referred to the case counter terrorism program called prevents. it came off to a fellow. people accused him of saying he wished his school would burn down during fire drills. the case was closed on the investigation, found no evidence to the school boy was in contact with all supported any extremist group. however, the boys details were added to the counter terror policing database which his mother said she had to fight hard for them to be removed. we spoke to the director of the campaign group that health people impacted by the counter terrorism scheme.

kind of a smith on your reputation, even if nothing came of it's like somebody suspected this child of being a potential future terrorist. so that in a little bit self can be quite damaging. there was a court case which reveals that there with 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 police all the homework this can justify having an innocent child's information on their database with regards to the psychological impacts. what we see will allow the families is that if the child is old enough to understand, make usually in the last year as a primary school be in of secondary school, then it can be really disturbing for them. i mean one child, the parents actually have 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 to prevent or just to give you some more context. that prevents is the counter terrorism program introduced by the u. k. government. it focuses on preventing

vulnerable people from being drawn into extremism. anyone can refer someone to the scheme and almost 5000 referrals were made in england and wales between april 20, 20, and march. last year, the british government insists all the data in the prevent program is confidential and only held temporarily. early removal is possible but only were deemed appropriate, but prevent watch claims. the whole schema is discriminatory. we know that these are more likely to be more, since it's more likely that the missing child or listen at all, will be referred to prevent in the 1st place. and therefore, it's more likely that m as in 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 for space, then you're certainly going to have more muslims within the prevent database. the reason why, well, firstly, prevent in and of itself. it's highly discriminatory and it was designed for muslims. it was actually designed post 911, right?

specific people them in community. so there's no reason why it still wouldn't disproportionately target the missing community. and also it relies on people trusting their like instincts. so taps into a low unconscious bias even so even people who think i'm not racist. you know, it's tapping into their bias. it seem like, even if you suspect something is strange, just refer it to prevent offices, what there will be, you don't have to worry rather be safe than, sorry. so on this, our human rights watch claims, one of expedia staff members with spied on by the notorious is ready develop spyware. pegasus is all next story. when we come back of the bishop, ah ah

exaggerated rhetoric, massive arm shipments and endless threads. this is how nato presents its vision of pan european security. meanwhile, moscow wait for the u. s. and it's hours to respond to his demands and vision for the say. the status quo is ah,

welcome back. human rights watch claims that someone has been watching that the global body claims the notorious israeli develop, spyware, known as pegasus, was used to target the direct service office in lebanon, lama for kit shed, with as how she 1st became aware 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 notification was authentic. we were able to review the data on my phones, conduct a forensic analysis, and confirm that my device has been targeted 5 times between april august of 2021. during the time of the attack between april and august of last year, i was working very intensively on an investigation to see which the government officials were couple were responsible for this last haven't taken place. it is possible that these attacks were connected with investigation. at the same time i

was to provide, they work on a number of different credit process around the world. so very difficult to say which government was responsible. it is true that the pegasus software has been found on the devices, you know, numerous human rights activists. and we have seen cases where individuals have the detain, where they've been tortured, and where they've even been killed after they are someone they know have been infected with spyware. the company that develops the spyware isn't israeli firm called and so group is tool has been at the center of numerous hacking scandals involved in the phones of journalists, activist, sons, politicians. it allows the tech has full access to a phone, camera, microphone call, logs, emails, text messages, and more. the nfl group itself that it was not aware of any of its customers using the software against human rights watch soft members. it that it will look into the allegation, however long the case,

so she now lives in fear having been the target of a hack. i honestly was shocked when i 1st learned that this attack had taken place and really filled with a sense of, of dread about, you know, what government has attacked me, what data have they stolen? how do they tend to use this data? it really is overwhelming to, to consider area to know that my device can really be use a gas means 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 these sets of attacks to, to persist. there are no digital foot fingerprints, it would help us to, to point to finger. and this is why we're really calling on states to move forward and establishing a right to refrain were for the trade is a balance technologies to ensure that these types of attacks no longer take place. i made a rapid spread of another wave of code infections in russia university here with starting clinical trials of

a new vaccine. but unlike the conventional ones that are administered with a needle of this, the is a nasal spray is based on the existing sputnik the vaccine on is to could be on the market as early as the spring. danny armstrong has more details section 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 you should provide the final piece of the jigsaw in protection against the only kron very nasal of action is needed in order to prevent people been infected by the highly contagious on the chrome parent. if we had it right now, who 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 uses intramuscular injection. quick and painless book, don't take our word for it. president vladimir putin has already tried out the nasal vaccine in the experimental stage is back in november and i sprayed one and then the other. i sat there for 15 minutes and it was all over. i felt nothing simply, nothing just now. the sputnik vaccine has shown to be twice as effective as the phase of 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 cobit 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 barion, it could mean that russia strengthens, is already world leading defense against the, on the kron varian, danny armstrong, moscow r t. so it's great to hear your thoughts on the day stories to get in touch by following guys on social media. we'll be back again with more late as well as news of the top ah .
