a miss a with after months of the west insisting that russia is set to invade ukraine tonight, nato's secretary general makes a stunning. you turn admitting the military block actually has no certainty whatsoever that any such aggression will happen at all. used to be a police, 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. i made a growing stand off with the west over ukraine. russia's top diplomat stresses moscow does not want conflict, but in 5th,

it's security must be ensure and health staff as to the u. k. government as tens of thousands based the fact if they don't get the coven jabbed by next week. we get the latest from one of the doctors behind the lawson with broadcasting live direct, more studios in moscow. this is our international and i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us are now we start tonight with nato secretary general has admitted that the military block actually has, quote, no certainty that moscow would invade ukraine. that statement coming despite months of the west, pushing violent anti russian rhetoric, claiming that aggression by the kremlin was imminent, yontsa stoughton berg made the startling. you turn at an atlantic council event. and that time, ah, as long as i shall docile to once again desired to use military force, you know, there's an empty while there's no certainty about the uh,

the russian plans are on the 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. and just after yen stalsen burke. we've had vladimir zalinski, the ukrainian president and speaking, saying that he also doesn't particularly see an immediate risk of a russian invasion. and if you take the comments from ads, ellensby from stolen berg and put them alongside briefings that have been given to the media off the record in brussels from nato h q that have suggested that there's really a want to get a, a d 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 force at all really. but that the united states as desperate for a d escalation over this issue. because they really want to switch focus over towards

china. this is quite a significant switch of tac though, because if you look at the way this message was put across in the last 2 months, well, was put across very differently. u. s. intelligence officials say russia could invade ukraine as soon as january, and as because of russian troops that are massed on ukraine's borders are now to say to russia could, at any point, want an attack and ukraine. russia is the aggressor here. we will not accept the campaign. russia is waging, says herbert its democratic neighbors. are you insult and burg? also spoken awful about the beefing up of nato forces in the east of the alliance. either committing troops towards deployment in the east or troops been ready to deploy to the east. now also on friday was confirmed by the slovakian foreign 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 berg on friday also is that there is no plans to set nato troops into ukraine. it's correct and we are not planning to deploy it . nate, the 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 alms 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 9. so 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. we spoke to martin dolt sir of germany's the left party. he says, the nato chief's remarks may reflect a growing realization that he wore on russia's border. can't be one called the 1st step. it's a good step to stop this propaganda which has been proceeded proper enough. they

say 2 or 3 months, no, maybe the nato states, maybe the us government to stay inside that. so it's not useful to escalate that conference call. they kind of him, and if you look objectively, it was clear that russia cannot have any interest to a tech ukraine called ukraine. this. the russian border was effect, florida to escalate the situation would be stupid. so maybe no idea. government has changed. the nato has changed that they see that a dialogue, a better way to proceed. more chaos has erupted in the once water type relationship between the u. s. mainstream media and kit that's after cnn deleted then returned an article revealing ukraine's president told joe biden,

and that america was over playing the imminent russian invasion card arch. soft can taylor has commentary? well as the last few days, ukraine crisis have thrown out a whole array of contradicting statements from nature mendecy disagreeing, and whether to keep to be a russia to e. you said disagreeing on whether to send weapons to keep the latest mixed message and quite a mysterious one comes from 2 key players to washington and kia. now on that day, the us on ukrainian president had a phone conversation, and the media reported the biden was warning the wilma brink of wild war 3 pigeons waiting for the ground to free in february. and then he'll give the signal for an invasion. let us keep his part was trying to calm his us counterpart down by stating that it will still big us if seen then that the 2 leaders will very much at all a call between us president joe biden and ukrainian president volume or zelinski on

thursday. did not go well, the senior ukrainian official told cnn amid disagreements over the risk levels of a russian attack. so lensky urge his american counterpart to come 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 are quite literally brothers in arms on to, on the same page, but then something that happened less than an hour and a half off to the see in an article group, it just disappeared. there was no trace any more bite and whipping up his theory about him in a wall and the landscape telling him to come down on its pace. what a pit? well, a slew of tweets from cnn people on a field about how the white house disputes, 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 larry 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 zalinski 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, citing a senior ukrainian official. now the articles disappeared in a whole army, both in the ukraine on 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 are calling 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 and until as he is still unclear what did dynamic between them to lead to says it's still unclear. is it indeed true that zalinski was the one telling biden 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 ready, cynical, that was something in that article that someone really didn't want to come out. earlier, we mentioned that the nato chief had spoken just hours before that. russia's foreign minister spelled out clearly that the country does not want war. sergey love, rob reiterated moscow's position on escalating tensions with the west. however, he also noted moscow can't just stand by watching its interests being ignored. love

robin shared his thoughts during a 90 minute interview to russian journalists. mom them was our cheese editor in chief margarita small young. here's what mr. lover 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 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. 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 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 are cheated by verbal guarantees that it was given. so now it insists on the, on documents on paper in rights and guarantees. and what marcia sorta 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, for 4 minutes the labyrinth was much more diplomatic. he said that the, they're analyzing them, 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 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 took will expand further east to the ultimately that those no guarantees that those missiles, they 2 missiles american missiles, of wouldn't be stationed ever closer to russia. nevertheless, he says there is some optimism varies or negotiations. there are tools that are ongoing and perhaps a solution might be reached to 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 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 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 at russia with regards to what is happening in ukraine. the russian foreign minister also said that the united states and that natal 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 are lethal farms and other equipment that they have delivered to your credit 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 minute. even us 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 from kentucky, have realised that berlin in paris would not force it to comply with uminski 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 feature of ukraine, but to heighten 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 a means could 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 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. formalist, 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 is on 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. this is our to international still plenty. one is to come after 4 brick stairs. ah ah, is your media a reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? heights, elation whole community. are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? direct? what is true? what is great?

in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. exaggerated rhetoric, massive arm shipments and endless threats. this is how nato presents istation of pan european security. meanwhile, moscow wakes to the u. s. and its allies to respond to its demands and vision for the say. the status quo is untenable. ah, welcome back, this is r j international. now, national health service staff are fighting mandatory code shots in the u. k. courts with less than a week to go before doctors face being fired around $80000.00 workers still are to knock elated ahead 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 it has covered guidance, is that it's employees must have had their 1st vaccine dose by the 3rd of february, unvaccinated staff face the fac, if they cannot be redeployed to a position that does not require interaction with patients, is spokesperson for the government's department of health. and social care stands by the ruling, despite pandemic restrictions being scrapped in almost all other walks of life in the u. k. and they just medics warn, the vaccine mandate is the last straw and a pandemic marked by chronic under funding and understaffing of the service with health chiefs noting that the firings will further heard and already depleted

workforce dr. amin malik who has signed a declaration of posing mandatory vaccinations earlier, told my colleagues forcing jobs could be a violation of medical ethics. the concept of mandatory vaccination is really knocking down the cornerstone of medical antics that we've enjoyed for century wanted the tanami freedom of choice, a tremendous a mess and stress. i'm just getting inundated messaging 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 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 for the nonsense ah, more than 80 lawmakers are calling on joe biden to write off student loan debt as promised during the presidential election campaign. but it seems that biden is in

no hurry to carry out this promise. despite students who believed his pledge waiting for months under the additional strain of the pandemic, 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 for borrower. this comes as the us student debt. toll hits astonishing amounts. now topping $1.00 trillion dollars, and the burden is still growing at an alarming rate that 6 times faster than the national economy. it is estimated that more than 43000000 people still have unpaid federal student loan debts and white house spokesperson said biden is continuing to look into the issue. last year, the president asked the u. s. education and justice department to prepare memos on his legal authority to cancel student debt. one person who still hasn't paid off his student loans, says the government has 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 under 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 institution or the military industrial complex person? obviously they have no problems. 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, the speculation on international markets. they have no problem putting these people 1st. essentially, the, all the parks, 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 in 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 process by corporations. 2 out of 3 corporations today are doing better because mclee than they were before 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. western liberal democracies not live under a false sense of freedom with the u. s. practically in civil war. that's what leading philosophers floodway. jake has born in his new book, heaven in disorder. we got the low down on why i think what day really east isaacs are western leave that democracy themselves. i'm not blaming one side or the other here. the debbie level

off in cuba society. the outrage state policy but the bishop who, you know, very strange trade demo to be slaves into political engagement in the wes kazlowski is much more than the central leaky the send off. we are, james, why we are not even aware of how we are. and because we experience we do what you want, but to be especially digital media, it's not just walk you want to doing what you are doing, right? you stuck somewhere in that new pharmacy or did you consider or

manipulate your desire? your says, you do a food bite out. she promote that. some will for talking about the ecology and so on. oh, it's quite possible that she will lose their elections and then the united states cannot react. so this is the big bad now in a state of war. the country is that true that you cannot even number dialogue in peace, very big. and just before we go, some breaking news, justin us president joe biden says he plans to position american troops in eastern europe in the near future,

despite the head of nato saying that there is no certainty that russia would invade . our newsroom is staying a process, of course it will develop and we will bring you the latest as it comes across. you want your to international, say, with no look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such orders at conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. at that point, obviously is too great trust rather than fear a job with artificial intelligence. real summoning with a robot must protect its own existence with

ah ah ah ah ah ah a ah ah! now we know you, this is he is a sphere. he will fast your fall off the end. and the other side,

when he came home and you're back home. so i would like to envision that does it also this if you live and it's just like that? no, on the action. do i need to? i'm from the other side. it's an open secret that private military companies have been playing a role in arm conflicts. world wide u. s. government doesn't track the number of contractors it uses in places iraq or afghanistan, united states army and the military in general is so reliance on the private sector . i would call that dependency, but we don't know who's the on the ground presence of these companies overseas. we just don't out west and private military companies can in their turn, use so called subcontractors from countries with trouble pass. the chances are quite good that they had also been charles soldiers possesses. i was a child as a, as in my job, professional job is with

the full moon. wouldn't feel good if i said that with, with no flaw, minute pneumonia. if you want the choice to be merciless killing machines, now they fight and die in other people's was people carol, lot one and a dead soldier or dead marine shows up in this country. and then we start asking yourself, why did they die? why do what would a fighting for? nobody bothers down to about that contractors in. oh, ah,

my name is found you my grand wrong, thomas? yes. on the banjo that pete mine, jamar missy. i'm in cochrane. new haven auction bench. and put you on a bench, a canyon, little woman, poor woman kit, in the picture with no one in the quiet outline of lambert in the place. he 1st saw a room in the doorway.

ah, you can understand. i says his rude, i'm understanding the role that slavery played. he was already a very prominent attrition. by the time united states became a nation, it actually defined the nation. slavery didn't just and, and go away. we, as a country, were formed out of a compromise with slavery. the southern colonies were not willing to be part of a union part of a national government in last years. the 2 shall, slavery was protected and the price of protecting that institution was disproportionate power. to the south politically and it carries through today and we possibly could have lightened some of the consequences of slavery if there had not been such a concerted effort to maintain the differences between blacks and.
