in, ah, ah ah, for months of the west insisting that russia said to invade you crate tonight, nato secretary general makes a stunning. you turn admitting the military block actually has no confidence whatsoever that any such aggression will happen at all. useful facilities. if it depends on the russian federation, then there will be no war. we don't want any wars, but we was, are not allow our interest to be rudely trampled on and ignored. i made a growing stand off with the west over ukraine. russia's top diplomat stress as moscow does not want conflict, but insisted security must be insured. and in other news health stuff. so the u.

k. government is tens of thousands faced. the fact if they don't get the cobra job next week, they get the latest from one of the doctors behind the lawsuit. with hello, welcome to our international. will these attend with me, kevin? oh, in 1st than tonight, nato secretary general, as admitted that the military block actually has no confidence that moscow will invade ukraine. that statement coming to spike months of the west, pushing violent anti russian rhetoric, claiming that aggression by the kremlin was eminent gen soleberg made the startling u turn of mid atlantic council event. am that time? as long as she does not, once again decide to use military force, you don't do that as well. there's no certainty about the russian plans. maybe they have not made any final decision. well, it means we're seeing more and more of

a public message shifting regarding what was previously referred to as a russian invasion of ukraine being immediate, just after yen stalsen burg. we've had voting me as a lindsey the ukranian president speaking saying that he also doesn't particularly see an immediate risk of a russian invasion. and if you take the comments from lindsay from stolen berg and put them alongside briefings that have been given to the media off the record in brussels from nate. so h q that have suggested that there's really a want to get a de escalation from the u. s. side that there wasn't really a unanimity amongst nato members. that the, the russian troops in the west of russia represented a potential invasion for such, all really, but the united states is desperate for a de escalation over this issue. because they really want to switch focus over towards china. this is quite a significant switch of pack though, because if you look at the way this message was put across in the last 2 months,

well was put across very differently. us intelligence officials say russia could invade ukraine as soon as january. and that's because of russian troops that are mask on ukraine's borders were now at a stage where russia could at any point, watch an attack and ukraine. russia is the aggressor here. we will not accept the campaign. russia is waging since about its democratic neighbors against hilton berg also spoke in awful lot about the beefing up of nato forces in the east of the ally inside that committing troops towards deployment and the store troops being ready to deploy to the east. now also on friday was confirmed by the slovakian forum minister that his country is in discussion with nato for the stationing of troops in slovakia. lucky it does border ukraine, but what was confirmed by insulting burg on friday also is that there's no plans to set nato troops into ukraine. it's correct that we are not planning to deploy. nate

to combat troops to ukraine and install and berg was also at pains to say that nato is very open to having more talks with russia, particularly when it came to arms control. but the idea of having more talk came at the same time as reports coming out. there are plans for huge sanctions being planned by nato countries, driven by the united states on the united kingdom. the sanctions would target russia's energy and banking sectors. they would kick in, of course, if there was any invasion by russia of ukraine. i spoke early to martin dozer, germany's the less party said the natal choose remarks may reflect a growing realization that war on russia's border. can't be one. told the 1st step . it's a good step low to stop this. so pro gun no which has been proceeded last night. so you 2 or 3 months, know maybe the need to states, maybe the u. s. and the 2 states, and inside that,

so it's not useful to escalate this conflict because they cannot room. and if you object to flee, it was clear that rush, i can transfer you crane because you claim this exactly on the russian border and drive. it was exactly what steps florida to escalate. that situation will be stupid . so maybe, you know, the idea of government has changed and the name has changed that they see a better way to proceed make time or care says are up to the ones water tight relationship between the u. s. mainstream media and cave off to sin and deleted then returned an article revealing ukraine's president told joe biden that america was over playing the eminent russian invasion cod says kid taylor reports left the last few days. ukraine crisis has thrown out a whole a way of contradicting a statement from nato modesty disagreeing on whether to keep troops near russia to

you states disagreeing on whether to send weapons to key at the latest mixed message. and quite a mysterious one comes from 2 key players. that's washington and key f. now on thursday to you as an ukranian president had a phone conversation, and the media reported the biden was warning the well, the brink of world war 3. newton's waiting for the ground to freeze over in february, and then he'll give the signal for an invasion. lensky for his part, was trying to part you to calm his u. s. counterpart down by stating that it's all still ambiguous. it seemed and that the 2 leaders would very much at all a call between us president joe biden and ukrainian president volume or zelinski on thursday, did not go well. a senior ukrainian official told cnn amid disagreements over the risk levels of a russian attack. so lensky urge to the american counterpart to calm down the messaging, boarding of the economic impact of panic, according to the official,

he also said ukrainian intelligence sees the threat differently. so quickly thought later that on top of all the other disagreements within the e u. a nato now, even washington and kia, who off, quite literally brothers in arms on to, on the same page. but then something peculiar happened. less than an hour and a half after the sienna, an article broke, it just disappeared. there was no trace any more bite and whipping up his theory about him in a war and the landscape telling him to come down on its pace. what a pit? well, a few of tweets from cnn people on farther afield about how the white house dispute, how the call wasn't a success. in fact, it was all just one big lie. whitehouse on biden's lensky call. anonymous sources are leaking falsehoods. president biden said that there is a distinct possibility that the russians could invade ukraine in february, reports of anything more different than that, are completely false, and hot on the heels. he also came out claiming that the original article was

riddled with mistakes. dear colleagues, some reports regarding the content of the talks between presidents villa dimmers de lensky and joe biden have appeared on social media, citing the alleged senior ukrainian official. these messages are completely false. so to put it simply, we had an article fight in a senior ukrainian official. now the article disappeared in a whole army, both in the ukraine and state side out, doing damage control. what happened behind the scenes? it's still a mystery font, understandably there are lots of questions and what suspicions, why such a sharp one a t who gave the order for the story to be taken down. and so probably the, not a surprise biden's critics, according to transparency. what they want is a transcript of the phone call. will someone ask press secretary if the white house will release the transcript? when will you release the transcript? what exactly was said in the hour and 20 minute chat between bite and an soleski is

still unclear. what did dynamic between them to lead to says it's still unclear. is it indeed true that lensky was the one telling bite and to tongue down the hysteria? there are a lot of questions that we'll say seems to be the sense that at best this was poor on verify john anderson. and it was if we're being re cynical, that was something in that article that someone really didn't want to come out. or just out for, for the nato chief, spoke, rushes for a minister spelled out clearly, the country does not want war. so glove rav reiterated most cuz positional escalating tensions with the west. but also noted moscow country stand by watching its interest being ignored. lebron shared his thoughts during a 90 minute interview with russian journalists among them was ortiz, editor in chief, margarita simonian, is what level had to say. yes, this is alicia authorities configured ceiling li, if it depends on the russian federation, then there will be no war. we don't want any wars,

but we 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. when there's going to be a boy, he himself was much more diplomatic with regards to the american documents, the counter proposals to russian security proposals that arrived in moscow just 2 days ago that the united states finally sent in writing, which is something that, that much of now, demands, given how in the past that feels 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 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 laboratory, was much more diplomatic. he said that the, the analyzing them are 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 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 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 no promises that they feel would 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 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 sergei lab, rob says a much you to the 4th 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 useless on you. if they insist that they will not change their position, we will not change our position either. it's just 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 there 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 that the, although it is a united states, is using, using ukraine in order to achieve its own goals, which are to contain rush and ultimately focus on china for answer your money. 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, both 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 irony 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 credit that the only power that can force you credit to abide by them is the united states. and it isn't interested in seeing them minsk agreement 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 for minutes. the lab, rob 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, and the media for escalating the situation that 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 we've seen 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 on to the t station near the conflict lines. who could on the orders of someone out carry out a provocation, but to de escalate things even further. i see the correspondent then are still to come this ours, our teeth will. these are 10 continues with me, kevin know people in the west liver and an illusion of freedom with social media

playing a key part in the distortion. that is a conclusion from talk. lots of us leveraging check in a new book. we talk about it when you think about that. so we've got 2 more tonights news to after this break with oh, is your media a reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation for community. are you going the right way, or are you being that somewhere? direct? what is true?

was his way in the world corrupted. you need to descend, have join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. now and all you do this is he is a sphere in your fast, you're fall off the and and the other side already came from and you're back home. so i would like to envision that, does it actually address if you live and it's just like that, you're on the action going to and from the other side. ah, again, national health service staff are fighting mandatory coven shots in the u. k. courts the with less than a week to go now before doctors face being fired. around 80000 work is still on to nakeila to the head of the deadline to get the 1st job with lawyers warning the

government that it hits fundamental freedoms. one of the doctors behind the law suit told me that being put under impossible strain, a tremendous semester and stress, i'm just getting inundated messages from health care workers from the whole spectrum of doctors, nurses, audiologist, feeling for their livelihoods and their careers because they're being made to, you know, force to have this job or choose, you know, being sacked as frankly ridiculous. i feel the wind is behind or sales. and i think, you know, we're going to turn this around. i think the public can see for the nonsense. well, and i chest cove, it guidance is that it's employees must have had their 1st vaccine dose by the 3rd of february, unvaccinated stuff faced the sac if they can't be re deployed to a position that does not require interaction with patients spokesperson for the government said department of health and social care stands by the ruling, despite pandemic restrictions being scrapped and almost all of the bolts of life now in the u. k. and it has medic sworn the vaccine mandate is the last straw for

them in a pandemic mark by chronic on the funding and on the staffing of the service with health chiefs noting that the firings will further her already depleted workforce the automatic some more says mandatory jobs res, basic questions of ethics. the concept of man to tonight's, is really knocking down the cornerstone of medical antics that we've enjoyed for century orderly tanami. freedom of choice. you could have coverage, you could be infected, symptomatic and vaccinated and spreading the disease at work. what you could be immune and unvaccinated and not with cove it and you'd be sac, i'm gonna quote, the prime minister. it doesn't protect you from catching the disease and it doesn't protect you against passing on. forget that. listen to chris, witty, there's minimal impact on transmission with regard to all of our vaccines. and the secretary of health has gone on on the 19th of january, saying what we've learned in the last few weeks to vaccines are not enough against

on the chrome. they're nowhere near enough. they just don't work in terms of protecting, certainly against hospitalization. ah, elsewhere the american federation of teachers has teamed up with self styled online misinformation tool news, god to won't tens of millions of children again. sikes like ot yet. the private filtering says green lights main street, me to that have consistently had to retract full stories. caleb opens on it tonight, coming up now. well, lo, western liberal democracies, it's not caliber which you can see western liberal democracies now live under a false sense of freedom with you as practically in civil war. that's what leading philosopher, let's go on to this next story. several yaeger cars born that is new book heaven

and disorder. guys, can we go to that one? let's talk about his level. gigi can not schools. obviously, we can one hour and a mass. i can tell you that's the outro that saw ortiz, world news, attend with me, kevin. oh it. but not before. i'm told. knows slow voice chick is there. we can hear what he's got to say is coming up. he's going well. i think what day 3 in the east, in our western liberal democracies themselves not blaming one site or the other here, the debbie level off in cuba society, the outrage state policy but the district who you know, very, very crazy demo to be done slate into political engagement in the west. let's keep it's much more in the den. so the

send off. we are james. while we are not even aware of how we are and because we experience ourselves, do what you want, but to be racially digital media. it's not what you want to doing, what you are doing piece. thank you, stuck somewhere there, old. that new pharmacy big. you can manipulate your desire. your says, you disagree by out. she promote that. some will for talking about the whole ecology and so on. but it's possible that she will lose their elections and then me, united states cannot react. so this is the be not bad now

because the state of the country road feels that you cannot even reason that but dialog daddy wrote back contract now more than 80 lawmakers calling on joe biden to write on student loan debt to promise during the presidential election campaign, but it seems that buttons in no hurry to carry out his promise. despite students who believed his pledge waiting for months under the additional strain of the panoramic. we urge you to direct the department of education to publicly release the memo outlining your legal authority to broadly cancel student loan debt and immediately cancel up to $50000.00 of student loan debt per borrower. it comes as the u. s. student debt, toll hits astonishing amounts, know, top $1.00 trillion dollars,

and the burden is still growing at an alarming rate at 6 times faster than the national economy. it's estimated more than 43000000 people still have unpaid federal student loan debts, white ho spokesperson saying that biden's continuing to look into the issue. last year, the president does the u. s. education and justice departments to prepare memos on his legal authority to cancel student debt. when personally still hasn't paid off, his student loans told us the government's got his priorities wrong. it's a matter of priority is a matter of where this government puts its priorities and who they put 1st, who they put 1st students and young people and even people who are well in their forties and fifties that are still paying their student loans back. do they put the middle and working classes, the popular sectors of the population 1st or do they put the huge financial institutions or the military industrial complex? first, obviously they have no problem spending money. they have no problem printing trillions

of dollars to prop up big banks. they have no problem doing bank bailouts. they have no problem allowing, you know, speculation on international markets. they have no problem putting these people 1st . essentially, the oligarchy, if you will, of the united states in the world. but when it comes to helping the people, we're lucky if we get a $2000.00 check, which is a drop in the bucket for the united states budget would be the right decision to cancel student loans. because so many people are hurting. there's a 1000000 and one different things that the government could be doing to help the people of this country. at the same time, we see record breaking inflation. we see also record breaking profit by corporations to add a 3 corporation today are doing better economically than they work for the pandemic . and that's at the same time that people are not nowhere near better off than they were before the pandemic. and that's staying a lot because they weren't doing very well before the pandemic to begin with. let's

get but 1st sure, you can bring it earlier on. the american federation of teachers have teamed up with cell style, the online misinformation till news god to warn, tens of millions of children. again, sites like r t, the private filtering service green lights, mainstream media that have consistently other retract. full stories will fingers crossed his caleb moping on it 2nd time. let's give it a go. now there is plenty of fake news these days, flooding the internet. so why not help american school? kids learn how to sift through it, determine who they can trust and who they can think for themselves. that sounds pretty reasonable. the american federation of teachers is now stepping up to the plate. the american federation of teachers has launched a national partnership with a leading anti misinformation tool, news guard to protect, and champion legitimate journalism. in fact, based reporting in to help educators and their students navigate a see of online disinformation. but it's not just about teaching kids to think critically. the future of the free world is at stake. news guard will save our

democracy. young minds must be protected. it is a beacon of clarity to expose the dark depths of the internet and uplift. those outlets committed to truth and honesty rather than falsehoods and fabrications. now with the american federation of teachers, arranging for all of its member educators to have free access to news guard at a time. when misinformation is such a growing threat to public health in our democracy, millions more of america's students will also be mused guarding it. louis guard makes a special list of outlets it considers to be trustworthy and on trustworthy. and then it puts a special label in your web browser. now if news garden proves you get a green label, but a news guard disapproves, you get a red label. so you guessed it, r t and sputnik get a red label. switch off immediately. don't let those russians get inside your head and encourage you to question are fearless american leaders. but what outlets are say, well, there's buzzfeed, the guardian,

the new york times the washington post and don't forget the official u. s. government outlet called voice of america. now, do you remember when the washington post told us that russia had hacked the power grids? that wasn't true. do you remember when buzz feed ran with the story about tromp and the steel dossier, and that turned out to be from a source that was pretty incredible that he remember when almost all the mainstream media outlets told us that iraq had weapons of mass destruction and we just had to invade deer. remember all the lies we were told in the lead up to the nato intervention in libya. but let's not be too hard on news guard. after all, they themselves admit these labels are not a measure of factual accuracy. they only label websites that they determined to have a hidden agenda are green red radio signal if a website is trying to get it right. or instead has a hidden agenda. war knowingly publishes falsehoods or propaganda getting readers more context about their news online. so it's not about what's really true and

what's not true. it's about if you're telling the truth with good intentions or whether or not you're telling the truth in a way that might stir up some trouble. now one of the founders is gordon cravens, say, former columnist for the wall street journal. his reporting on the and assaye and edward snowden has been widely criticized, and it appears he was trying to spin things as not so bad on the part of the american government. and then there's richard stangler. he worked at the state department as public affairs chief under barack obama. now he must be totally opposed to any dis, information or distortions in media. right. well, job of the state diploma was what people used to joke as the chief propagandist on that against propaganda. every country does it and they have to do it to their own population. and i don't necessarily think it's that's awful. some conservatives in america feel threatened by the teachers unions embracing news guard. the left is found a dangerous and equally disingenuous. new way to indoctrinate our children without

their parents knowing this is as bad as c r t. in fact is was unlike c r t, the left is not going to give it a name this time. this is purposely designed to go under the radar of public scrutiny in america. 6 we're always told about those evil totalitarian countries where the government brainwash has children and tells them not to question authority. and here in america were said to be great because we teach our children to have free and open minds and think for themselves. and now we have news guard to make sure that their free and open minds are never exposed to anything that might tempt them to question more. caleb martin r t new york. he says he's will. these attends me kevin owens. i was checking in a very good evening for me as well. so by for next programs and state side, the latest news fuse, you know,

look forward to talking to you all.
