a loves thing ah, because it depends on the russian federation, then there will be no war. we don't want any wars. we want our normal, our interest to be brutally trampled on and ignored. and there's a growing found off with the west over ukraine. russia's top diplomat stress is most go, does not ones conflict, but in 5th to security must be in showed a potentially fatal blow to parish. johnson's leadership makes email suggest, the u. k. prime minister may have prioritized pets. so the people during the chaotic evacuation of afghanistan, even thousands of british citizens as allies,

stranded in the war torn country and overwhelming evidence of abuse. human rights watch claims, one of its own senior staff members was snooping on by the notorious is ready developed by web pegasus. she gives her reaction to aussie. i honestly was shocked when i 1st learned this attack. had taken place and really filled with very well welcome from our team here in moscow. this is auto international with the latest. well news update is good to have you with us. and we start with breaking news. this. our nato secretary general has admitted that the military block actually has no confidence that moscow will invade ukraine. the statement comes despite months of the west, pushing violence, anti russian rhetoric, claiming that aggression by the criminal was imminent in stoughton berg made the

startling you to an atlantic council event. let's go to live now to why europe correspondence piece are all about pizza. what does all this mean? i'm at the own going tension. a camera. i'm afraid we've lost a piece oliver, but we'll try to get that connection. thought it. oh, i'm not being told that we do have pizza oliver on the line. so let's cross live to our correspondence in berlin. now a pizza. get to see you. tell us more. what's going on. ok, we've lost the connection again. i do apologize. let's continue who just that was before the nato chief spoke. russia's foreign minister spelled out clearly that the country does not want war. they love reiterated moscow position on escalating tensions with the west. however, he also noted moscow conscious, done by watching its interests. being ignored, lover upset his thoughts during

a 90 minute interview to russian journalists. among them was ortiz, editor in chief, margarita simone young, is what mister love had to say. yes, this is alicia authorities configure, lets see willingly, if it depends on the russian federation, then there will be no war. we don't want any wars, but we're also not allow or 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. whether there's going to be a boy, he himself was a much more diplomatic with regards to the america documents, the county proposals to russian security proposals that arrived at moscow just 2 days ago that the united states finally sent in writing, which is something that russia now demands given how in the past that fields are cheated by verbal guarantees that it was given. so now it insists on a, on documents, on paper in rights and guarantees. and what marcia sorts

a guarantees that ultimately 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, for 4 minutes, the laboratory was much more diplomatic. he said that the, they're analyzing them or 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 you will none of 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 taxes 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 no promises that they would expand further east to the ultimately that those and no guarantees that those missiles, they to miss how's america missiles of wouldn't be stationed ever closer to russia . nevertheless, he says there is some optimism varies or negotiations. there are talks that are ongoing and perhaps a solution might be reached a solution which satisfies both the united states and russia. nevertheless, we must account. he says for relations relations which for years have var deteriorated, which are now at a level that is catastrophic which law, which says a lab, rob says a much, you know, the fault for which is much and it, i to say to court what with various demands that they have made over the years with regards to russia, you slew and you know, if they insist that they will not change their position,

we will not change our position either is just the, their position is based on false arguments on a direct turning over the facts, an 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. at russia, with regards to what is happening in ukraine, 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 heard 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 the although he's a 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 minute, even of france, germany and the european union called russia, conflicts 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 the key of 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 zalinski 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 the only side, the only power on earth that can force the ukrainian government to follow through with amends agreements, a comprehensive peace plan to end the civil war and ukraine. that the only power that can force you credit to abide by them. is the united states and that isn't interested in 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 as sometimes said, sometimes regardless of despite what they want. and the ukraine has blame the united states and the media for escalating the situation. there have been ukrainian officials that have said there is no evidence that the russians are preparing for an invasion and that the only other sides of all receive have been on television and from the mouths of various politicians. there is also an elaborate said, the fear that the, the situation could be it 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 teeth station near the conflict lines. who

could on the orders of someone else carry out a provocation, but could escalate things even further. while the pentagon announced that would be sending a new batch of weapons and the military equipment to ukraine despite the u. s. claiming it prefers diplomacy over military action. the shipment is lisa b. before since president find an approved a $200000000.00 military, a package for the country last month, washington still sides the movement of russian troops on russian territory as a source of concern. although a key spokesman on thursday seemed some most 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 curse, straight. curse creek, kirk st. sorry, i'll try that curse straight, but well, let's just clear that up for you because it is a city hundreds of miles away from the coach straight,

which is what john kirby was actually referring to. where she was deployed more than 20. it was shipped in a routine exercise. there's something western nations, a viewing as 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 takes russian navy fighter jet sound ball most have conducted drills against slums. they targets the conforming range as part of the bowl 6 leaf on going why the drills, which are expected to be held in every body of water bordering russia. geopolitical analyst, patrick kennings and told us that many of nato's accusations over russian aggression actually apply to the military alliance itself. dado 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. this sort of speech that was given by yonce dalton berg, the director of nato, which they posted online, is

a highly politicized ideological and is sort of approach. and this is the opposite of what you'd expect from nato, but it seems like it was nato taking 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? it's funny when you're reading the objections in the united states representatives reporting forward, they're demanding that russia deescalate, their aggressive behavior stops. inflammatory rhetoric is almost like a bullet point list of what the united states themselves are either doing or not doing. ah, the bad news keeps building for bars. johnson like female suggest the british prime minister prioritized pets. other people during last summer's withdrawal from afghanistan, while thousands of british citizens and allies couldn't get out of the country. a p

. m had previously dismissed the claims as nonsense. that gets the message is obtained by sky news appeared to show the alice that 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 farthings 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 cromwell, and they were actually backed by a bar, is chosen a prime minister, uneven fost track 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 the prime 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 to 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 would know it to be seen. both of them were away on holiday leaving junior ministers and 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, they're currently in 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. 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 scandals that boris 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 versus boxes are basically telling, tore back benches. you must now back the prime minister because a far as johnson goes down, we'll, well, from a british army officer on the afghan veteran trevor cult believes number tends latest, scandal is just a distraction from the bigger issues. i think this is a bit of a smoke screen right now. we've got to mount that. there's a lot of stories going around. a boat president, putin on a boat, 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 u. k. b to minutes are getting on like, like rock winders as it is just yes, we know how to write about. we've got 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

robin caution dogs. we are going to lose pretty shoulders on russian blog built 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 shield lives and stop people from being cove at assessments more. we and gay brown, muslim, asian boy does not to make you a terrorist. that's what the mother of an 11 year old boy has set off. his son was referred to the you case counter terrorism program called prevents. it came after 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 that the school boy was in contact or supported any extremist group. however, the boys details were added to the counter terror policing database, which is mothers say she had to find hard for them to be removed. we spoke to the

director of the campaign group, it helps people impacted by the counterterrorism 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 and of itself 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 the database with regard to the ecological impacts. what we see will allow the families is that if the child is old enough to understand it, make usually in the last years of primary school we 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 happened to him in terms of being was to prevent was just to give you some more context here. prevents,

is the counterterrorism program introduced by the u. k. government if 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 wells between april 20, 20 and march last year. the british government consists of the data in the prevent program is confidential and only held temporarily, as the removal is possible, but only were deemed appropriate, but prevent watch 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 lesson adult will be refer 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 the 1st place, 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 the muslim 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 is seen look, even if you suspect something is strange, just refer it to prevent men offices will build. you don't have to worry rather be safe than, sorry. let's turn now to our top story, speaking just a few minutes ago, the nato secretary general thing to make a bit of a you turn on the nato stance on the ukraine crisis left her. the best in cross live to our you're a correspondent, p thought of i, let's hope you that is time. peter. what does this mean amid the ongoing tension? peter? hello. yes, back to now no problems with the connection this time i hope right. we've heard

from you insult and berg is still speaking right now. this atlantic council event. what he did say was that there was unanimous unanimity amongst the alliance when it came to promising still sanctions against rocher. if there was any aggression from moscow against ukraine. some confusion from the secretary general. it would seem no about the potential for any aggression from russia for the last couple of months. we've heard words like this invasion being imminent, like it was coming any minute that there was an invasion about to happen any 2nd. what you insult and book said that there was no certainty right now about what russia would do a very different message coming from the nato secretary general than we've heard over the last couple of months. what we did hear from him though, was talk about despite that not being any certainty about not about a major build up of nato forces in the east of the alliance. he said that a number of countries would be helping the number of troops that they would either

be housing on their territory. all that they would be providing in the cases all say the united states or others that could be either sent or would be sent to the east of the ally in one country. that will be, it would seem stepping up the presence of nato troops on its territory. is slovakia . slovak here of course is adjacent to ukraine. their foreign minister has confirmed on friday that the country is in talks to 2. how is nato troops on its territory? what we did here from yen stalsen burg is the ukraine will not be housing nato troops whatsoever. now that could be something of interest to russia in any upcoming talks. and he did talk about upcoming talks installed in burg, saying that he was glad for the the meetings that had been had with representatives from moscow a couple of weeks ago. and that he wanted to see for meetings coming up in the coming weeks. both those meetings will be following on from the written responses

to rushes. if security requests they were put to the united states on to nico, over the last few weeks, those written responses arrived on wednesday. in moscow, they haven't been, it would seem, walked. russia had really been hoping for on the major issues, particularly concerning nato expansion. but it does seem like there are also areas that that could be potentially some movement on particularly on the, on the, on the expansion on talk about on arms limitation treaties that could be talked about further. what we did here after the phone call between the french president manual macro and the russian president, vladimir burton, on friday, was a kremlin statements suggesting that nato and the united states hadn't been listening at all to russia's called major concerns. comes which do concern the expansion of nato and the,

the placement of troops or hardware on territory searches ukraine, georgia, potentially and expand the expansion of nato eastwood. so some of the things coming from you install to book certain to raise a few eyebrows delays that have been paying close attention to what's being said from the west. with regard to the situation in ukraine, no certainty. it would seem from the chief at the moment what will be happening, whether there will be any invasion, a very different june that we've heard over the last few weeks and we'll keep close eye and what else he has to say. as i said, he still speaking right now that atlantic council event, if there's anything more that comes out of it, as soon as it does come out of it, i'll be bringing it to you here on our team. we always appreciate that from you. pizza, obviously, to soon as a tablet is looking like a bit of a positive step in the right direction to easing tensions over ukraine. off of those comments from the nato, both for now. thanks. peter now made a rapid spread of another wave of code infections in russia,

university harris dancing clinical trials of a new vaccine. but unlike the conventional ones that are administered with a needle, this is a nasal spray is based on the existing sputnik the vaccine is, has a could be on the market as early as the spring. danny armstrong has monique have 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 it should provide the final piece of the jigsaw in protection against the only cron. very nasal of action is needed in order to prevent people been infected by the highly contagious or macro 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 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 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 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 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. we're in moscow alone. the record for

daily cove infection rates has twice been broken in january. but with this, a new barrier against that on the con variant, it could mean that russia strengthens, is already world leading defense against the, on the kron varian, danny armstrong, moscow r. t election fraud, alarm bells are being sounded in france the all over a new app. this designed to match voters with candidates for the upcoming presidential election countries states. a watchdog is now looking into claims. the system not only violates privacy laws, but there is also favoring president micron charlotte events he has 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 a 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 in these creating by students? it's been built type of tin differ politics. so the aim is to match your views with the candidate who represents them. the most sounds like a great idea except not to win. the kind of it doesn't meet your expectations because you know, i'm not communist, not me. i just there are many macaroni and also john, look men and sean. but i do not know the fast fabian row, so i answered as i did what i did not expect too much. i did not know politics. so i did not know what it was going to be, because i did today to would,

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 analytical scandal that was when millions of facebook uses have a data collected for political advertising purposes. the natural problem, or the most obvious for boost up for us, is that they effectively obtaining information for all their uses. with all the use, a really understanding what purpose that information is. but the real purpose on the after ops is to obtain uses information and then sell it on to political parties or to agencies who are 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 with the certain material that my views to brainwash them to be blind about. it pays them also concerned that the application has been playing favorites for whom you may wonder. well, none other than emmanuel mack on the french president, the founders of the ap have said that this more as 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 had 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. deworski asi paris. thanks for keeping his company here in asi international will be back again at the top of the week with the latest boy ah, ah, ah.
