ah, ah, with after months of the west insisting that russia is set to invade you crate tonight, nato secretary general makes his stunning you turned admitting that military block actually has no certainty whatsoever that any such aggression will happen at all. useful. cuz if 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 brutally trampled on and ignored it a growing stand off for the west of ukraine, russia talk diplomatic stresses. moscow does not want conflict but insisted security must be insured and health stuff. so the u. k. government has tens of thousands faced the fact that if they don't get the coven job by next week,

they get the latest from one of the doctors behind the loss with a they're good morning. welcome to our to international world news one i am life for moscow with me, kevin. and 1st this morning night zachary generals admitted that the military block actually has, quote, no certainty at all that moscow would invade you crate. that statement coming despite months of the west, pushing violet anti russian rhetoric, claiming that aggression by the kremlin was imminent, insult and berg made the stopping. you turn an atlantic council event earlier. 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 berg. we've had floating 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 valencia from st oldenburg and put them alongside briefings that have been given to the media off the record in brussels from nate. so h q that has 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 that 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 mass on ukraine's borders are now to 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 the democratic neighbors. you insult and bug also spoken awful lot about the beefing up of nato forces in the east of the ally inside the committing troops towards deployment. and the store troops being ready to deploy to the east now also on friday was confirmed by the slovakian foreign in the 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 berg 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 tubes 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 are coming out. there are plans for huge sanctions being planned by nato countries, driven by the united states and 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 to martin dozer of germany. the last party says the nato chiefs remarks may reflect a growing realization than that of war. rushes bought a copy, one call the 1st step. it's a good step low to solve this problem. got no, we just didn't proceed. last, let's see, 2 or 3 months. no. maybe we need to stay maybe the us government agencies and inside that. so it's not useful to escalate. this

is conflict because the kind of room and if you object to play, it was clear that russia has any interest to craig cause you claim this thing on the russian border and it was exactly what steps florida to escalate. the situation will be stupid. so maybe you know, the idea as government has changed, the name has changed that they see that in a better way to proceed. or more cases are up to the one's more to tight relationship between the u. s. main street may during care of that and itself to say it and delete it then returned an article revealing ukraine's president told joe biden that america was over playing the eminent russian invasion card. so i could tell has got the latest on this morning. last few days you crave, i says, has try not a whole a way of contradicting statements from nature. my mistakes 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 keith. now on thursday, the u. s. on ukrainian president had a phone conversation and the media reported the fight and was warning the when the brink of wild, all 3 newtons waiting for the ground to freeze over in february. and then he'll give the signal for an invasion as a landscape for his pot was trying to pot you to calm his u. s. counterpart down by stating that it's all still ambiguous. it seemed and that the 2 leaders was very much at all a call between us president joe biden and ukrainian president valid m are zalinski on thursday, did not go well. the senior ukrainian official told cnn amid disagreements over the risk levels of a russian attack. zelinski urge his american counterpart to calm down the messaging warning of economic impact of panic. according to the official, he also said ukrainian intelligence sees the threat differently so quickly such

later that on top of all the other disagreements within the e, u and nato. now even washington and kia, who off quite literally brothers in arms on to, on the same page. but then something that cutie happened less than an hour and a half off to the see in an article broke, it just disappeared. there was no trace any more, a bite and whipping up hysteria about imminent wool and zalinski, telling him to calm down on its pace. what a pit? well, a slew of tweets from cnn people on from her field about how the white house disputes, how the coal wasn't a success. in fact, it was all just one big light white house on biden zalinski call. anonymous sources are leaking falsehoods. president biden said that there is a distinct possibility that the russians could invade ukraine and be wary reports of anything more different than that are completely false on hot on these 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 dimmer zelinski and joe biden have appeared on social media. citing the alleged senior ukrainian official. these messages are completely false. site to put it simply, we had an article site in a senior ukrainian official. now the articles 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 shot? 180, who gave the order for the story to be taken down. and so probably not a surprise biden's critics, according to the 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 bites, ansolaski is still unclear. what did dynamic between them to lead to says it's

still unclear. is it indeed true, that is lensky was the one telling by to tone down the hysteria that are a lot of questions that will say seems to be the sense that at best this was pool and 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. such detail reporting will just hours before the night to achieve, spoke rushes for a minister spelled out clearly. the country does not want bull. siggler rav reiterated moscow's position on escalating tensions for the west, but he also noted moscow couldn't just stand by watching its interest being ignored . lebron shed his thoughts during a 90 minute interview to russian journalists among them. our editor in chief margarita simona is almost elaborate, had to say, yes, this is alicia authorities configure. nazi lately is it depends on the russian federation than that will be no wall. we don't want any wars, but we will 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 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 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 sorta 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 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 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. but the response from nato is so ideological. it breeze so much with the exclusivity of the north atlantic alliance 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 expand further east or does it also meant that those 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 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 to the 4th floor, which is much and it i to say it's court. what with various demands that they have made over the years with regards to russia, you slew on you. if they insist that they will not change their positions, we will not change our position either. is just the, 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 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 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 have france, germany and the european union called russia 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 can't 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 their nice side, the only power on earth that can force the ukrainian government to follow through with a means 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 with sea 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 to de escalate things even further fitting of carsa moscow time. hello, good morning for me, kevin. out and the rest of the team and as a world news said, what i am continues. people in the west liver, under an illusion of freedom with social media playing

a key part of the distortion says top law. so as lavoy, she shaken his new book out. now we talked him about that then why thinks that? and i got some more ties headlines too after the break. thanks ever so much for checking. ah ah mm.

now we know you to see is a sphere fast you will fall off and and the other size came from and your back home. so i would like to envision that does it also the universe is just like that one action from the other 5. ah, i again, national health service stuff for fighting mandatory covert shots in the u. k. courses less than a week to go now before doctors face being fired. if the dog around 18000 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. if people have to give away the bodily autonomy, there is

a question over whether they remain free. it is causing an unacceptable level of stress and uncertainty for them and for the health service and the public. and i chess cove with guidance says that it's employees must have had their 1st vaccine dose by the 3rd of february and back states and stuff faced the sac if they cannot be redeployed to a position that doesn't require face to face interaction with patients. as folks person for the governments department of health and social care stands by the ruling tubes go ahead. despite pandemic restrictions being scrapped in almost all of their walks of life in the u. k. and chess, medics. i warn the vaccine mandate is the last straw. as they said in a panoramic mark by chronic under funding and understanding of the service with health chiefs, noting the firings will further her already depleted workforce. don't to athlete malik? who signed the declaration opposing mandatory vaccinations? told me eliot forcing jobs could be a violation of medical ethics to the concept of man to she's actually, she's really knocking down the cornerstone of medical antics that we've enjoyed for

century forgery. tanami, freedom of choice, a tremendous amount 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, forced to have a job or choose, you know, being sacked as is, 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 through the nonsense other stuff to brief you on tonight more than 80 lawmakers calling on joe biden to write off student loan debt as promised to the presidential election campaign. but it seems biden's in no hurry to carry out his promise, despite students who believed his pledge waiting for months. now under the additional strain of the pandemic. we urge you to direct the department of education to publicly released the memo outlining your legal authority to brawley cancel student loan debt and immediately cancel up to $50000.00 of student loan

debt for borrower. it comes with you as student debt, toll hits the star, she amounts now topping $1.00 trillion dollars, and the burden still growing at an alarming right at 6 times faster than the national economy is estimated. more than 43000000 people still have unpaid federal student loan debts. a white house spokespersons said biden's continuing to look at the issue. last year, the president asked the u. s. educational justice department to prepare memos and date of mon is legal authority to cancel student debt. when, personally still hasn't paid off his student loans telling us the government's got its priorities wrong. it's a matter of priority is a matter of where this government puts its priorities and who they put 1st to the posts for students and young people and even people who are well in their forties and fifties that are still paying their student loans that 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 person? 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 balance, they have no problem allowing, you know, the 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. 2 out of 3 corporation today are doing better economically than they work for the pandemic. and that's at the same time,

and that people are not nowhere near better off than they were before the pandemic . and the sang a lot because they weren't doing very well before the pandemic to begin with. the american federation of teachers has teamed up with cells to hold online misinformation till news god to ward tens of millions of children. that again, sites like t. yeah, the private filtering service green lights, mainstream media that have to retract major stories in the past. kellum open reports. 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't think for themselves. the 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 and times information tool, news guard to protect, and champion legitimate journalism, and fact based reporting and 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 news guarding it. whoo! guard makes a special list of our lives that considers to be trustworthy and untrustworthy. and then it puts a special label in your web browser. now as news guard approves, you get a green label. but if 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 safe? well, there's buzz feed the guardian, the new york times, the washington post. and don't forget the official u. s. government outlet called the 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 the buzz feed ran with the story about trump, 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, a former columnist for the wall street journal, his reporting on the and as a and edward snowden, as 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 is richard stangler. he worked at the state department as public affairs chief under brock 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. i'm not 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, we're always told about those evil totalitarian countries where the government brain washes 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 they're free and open minds are never exposed to anything that might tempt them to question more, kayla martin. r t. new york kennedy open. there was a question more final one. this isn't that you over western liberal democrat, democracies now live under a full sense of freedom with the u. s. practically civil war says leading

philosophers level gigi, who's wanda, and his new book called heaven in disorder. we got the load on a white saying i think what day really is indicated. it's our western liberal democracies themselves. i not blaming one site or the other here, the debbie level off in cuba society, the outrage state policy. but the bishop district, you know, very strange trade demo to be there on slate that into political engagement in the west, kansas. it's much more in the sense of the sense off we are saying why we are not even aware of how we gotta

change our end. because we experience we do what you want, but to be especially digital media. it's not what you want to doing. what you are doing, right, you start somewhere in that new pharmacy big, you can manipulate your desire. your says, you see this is grayson bigler. she promote that. some bad reps for talking about all of the ecology and so on. but it's quite possible that she may lose them their elections, and then united states cannot react. so these, these, the b, b are now in a war the country please go

through that. you cannot cherry even that he's in the dialogue in peace. that he that is out, he's will need it when i am from moscow we came in, they said watching and a very good morning for me and the rest of the table. ah ah, ah

oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed? what will make you feel safe? isolation for community. are you going the right way? or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. yeah math as practice.
