[000:00:00;00] a with these top stories this, our president biden plans to position us troops in eastern europe, in a show of force against russia. despite nato's chief admitting, there's no certainty about whether moscow would invade. you cried. meanwhile, germany swim against the nato tide by resisting sending arms to you. craig, move that's got the backing of the german public. according to recent polls, against the fundamental rights of quarterly autonomy, a group of british national health service staff to the government, tens of thousands could potentially face the fact if they don't get a cobit gap. by next week,

we get the latest from one of the doctors behind the law. firms debate rages over whether the unvaccinated should have the same rights as the jap up the parents, hospitals, chief questions where the free treatment should continue to be given to or with welcome to the weekend from our see international. my name is colleen bray. welcome to your world news 1st for you, then our big story president biden has pledged to send more us troops to nato countries in eastern europe in the near future. earlier this week, of course, the pentagon had already put 8 and a half 1000 troops on standby for possible deployment. although at the same time, nato is back tracking on it month, floor planes that rushes about to invade its neighbor ukraine alliance chief installed in berg. now admits there's no certainty about any invasion. after all, it is correct that we are not planning to deploy, nate to combat troops to ukraine,

as long as russia does not at once again, decide to use military force as a certainty. while there's no certainty about the, the russian plans on the maybe they have not made any final decision for months. the usual suspects in the west have spirited out the same old hysteria, western mainstream media, quite literally do their own picture of reality with maps of an imaginary invasion from stultz and bic himself to west than officials. and it's media who constantly shrieked. an invasion was just around the corner conveniently, postponing their predictions even when proved wrong. us intelligence officials say russia could invade ukraine as soon as january. and that's 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. but now even the ukranian president has brushed it off as just panic. or do we have tanks on the streets?

you know that there is a feeling that if you're not here, if you're in england, germany, france, lithuania, there is a feeling from the media that we are to war. troops are walking on the roads, mobilizing this is not true. we don't need hispanic. but hang on, doesn't this all sound a bit like what russia had been saying all along? usually others alicia, with the risk if you go through, 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 rudely trampled on and ignored. but it seems like even all that doesn't stop the wheels at the big bad sanctions machine rolling. the west prepares, crippling sanctions in anticipation of that same elusive rush in aggression. at this very moment, we have been very clear that if russia further evades ukraine, the united states is looking at a range of options with allies and partners to deliver severe costs to the rush and economy, assessing potential spill overs and exploring ways to reduce those spill overs is

good governance and standard practice. but if anything, the ukraine crisis has taught us one thing, some western politicians who claim to prefer diplomacy and dialogue are reluctant to abandon their own wills and step into a reality without russian aggression. we always accuse russia to, to be the aggressor, even if sphere is no, we're reality of the wrong. that's super, that's, that's was situation now. if russia, oh, will not be considered as an adversary of ne, too. they will be no job, no object. he for nate to and the united states will lose its super rossi in europe and the object if she's to freshman europe on to torpedo any reset between western europeans on russia. and in order to prevent mercy, pull our richie to emerge or ukraine confirmed on friday that it had received

another batch of military aid from washington. $81.00 tons of ammunition were delivered in one of dozens of our transfers planned under jo biden's, $200000000.00 support package. how not all nato members are united and weapon isaac ukraine, though germany's refusing to send arms and its rules are ruled out evacuating its embassy there. saying such a move would only add to the tensions with more from berlin, his artes peter oliver. tough time. see european diplomacy here in berlin. many of the decisions made by chancellor shoals as government haven't been running on the same lines as friends and partners in london and washington. the german foreign minister is also not convinced there's an immediate sign of ukraine joining the nato alliance. everyone knows that this is not the agenda at the moment, including russia. the people of ukraine wants to live in peace and security. many have been separated from their families for years due to the conflict in the da boss. that's what the matter is about, not even attempting to nato. another area where germany isn't following the lead of

the u. k. in us is when it comes to the evacuation of stuff from embassies and kiev . berlin says it would just further to stabilize the situation on the ground in ukraine. of course, we continuously check the security situation in different places around the world inclusion in ukraine. like, how are you partners? we have currently decided not to reduce the embassy stuff in case germany has come under a lot of pressure over its refusal to send weapons to ukraine. in fact, it's with some sections of the media into a frenzy, with some headlines, even questioning whether berlin is actually a friend of the us at all. i have with concern the situation in ukraine and the reactions of our neighbors from germany in the face of the threat from russia. it's immoral and hypocritical. it's driving a division line between west and east in europe. foreign minister bear bulk used a debate in the bond the stag, to further cement the government's commitment to the policy seminar demand in the weapons to be delivered urgently in difficult situations. you have to repeatedly

discuss your action self. critically. we have to strengthen ukraine economical and financially, cuz in the 21st century and don't just sudden with cannon's friends and allies, clearly not happy with berlin's decision. the german people seem to be ok with it. according to polling, nearly 60 percent of the germans. busy are quite happy with the decision not to send weapons to ukraine. senior figures within the largest party and the ruling coalition are keen to stress germany's role and attempt to find a diplomatic solution to the current crisis was not committed in wars looming right now in the middle of europe, it's about doing everything we can to prevent military escalation of the situation, and of course, we do not deliver weapons to ukraine and about keeping the peace, lasting peace order in europe would not work with our russia, but only with russia. it's clear berlin believes the diplomatic doors to finding solution remain open. however,

it's equally clear that germany feels that should they supply weapons to ukraine, their ability to keep those doors open would be impaired. peter all over r t. berlin, friend geo m. p. terry mariani believes the aggressive rhetoric towards russia is beneficial to certain policies. the go for you most. it's very w steering. this is real hysteria. i get the feeling that the russian army could be in paris any day if everything continues like this. what do you think are the real reasons? i think some people just need to regain prestige. which is the 1st, the u. s. as we know they left afghanistan the most miserable way that we don't 2nd, nato, which needs to justify its existence. so i will also mention ukrainian president zalinski york, who has had an extremely difficult situation inside the country. recently, all these people need the pressure to build upto you at the same time. i notice that almost all the media repeat the same information over and over again to georgia south. forget that. almost all of this information secret satellite imagery comes to us from one source. the us, of course,

the united states is our best ally. but let's remember the we had to stabilize the entire middle east because this very ally explained to us that there are weapons of mass destruction. there it is very often necessary to state that the european union has no real foreign policy. and as you know today, the position of the e u on this issue is in line with the position of poland, romania, the baltic states. and they're very aggressive rhetoric towards russia. but other than that, the you as a diplomatic to work for you. now with less than a week to go before doctors potentially face being fired in england for not having coven jobs. national health service staff are taking the matter to call around $80000.00 work is still on vaccinated ahead of the deadline to get the 1st job. but the lawyers claim that the government threat to sac staff goes against fundamental freedoms. if people have to give away their bodily autonomy, there is a question of a, 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 h,

as kirby guidelines in england say, employees must have had their 1st vaccine dose by february, the 3rd unvaccinated staff faced the sac if they can't be re deployed to a position that requires no interaction with patients. the government continuing to stand by the ruling despite rolling back most of it's covered restrictions elsewhere. and h a staff warm that the vaccine mandate is the final straw and a pandemic which they claim has been marked by chronic on the funding and of the staffing health chief say that any sacking with further impacts and already depleted workforce dr. ahmad mallaig, who signed a declaration opposing mandatory vaccinations, believes forcing jobs on people 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 bodily tanami. freedom of choice, a tremendous a mess and stress. i'm just getting inundated with 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 of the right to the i'm vaccinated are making plenty of headlines on the other side of the english channel as well. after the parish hospitals chief questioned whether they should continue to get free medical treatment or danella. when free and efficient drugs are available, should people be able to renounce a vaccine without consequences. while we struggle to take care of other patients. the hospital chief said he'd raised this question because he didn't want health care spending to explode one day of what he called irresponsible behavior. our discussion on this raging right now, we go the thoughts of some people in the french capital. i am completely concerned since i have my 2 grown up children and young adults who are not vaccinated on for free choice for all,

and for us to continue to care for everyone with the same conditions for all that's a given in france. and we can't give it up like that. it chokes me. i've been working for 40 years to have been contributing for 40 years. imagine if i were not vaccinated. i still want to be treated like everyone else. that's the hippocratic oath. treat everyone. i someone. well, he's kind of right, the vaccine is free, you don't pay, so it's normal to get vaccinated. it's for you and for others. and in addition, you take the place of someone else in intensive care. looking after coping patients who end up in intensive care costs around 3000 euros a day and frowns with stays on the board, averaging a week to 10 days. now to get a better understanding of the issues involved, we spoke to sociology professor robert good chip and communicable diseases experts talked about. and connie, we just must not make a distinction between immunized and not immunized. they're all citizens and we

treat them as equal citizens. we persuade, inform, educate, advise the people who have not been immunized and help them to make that voluntary decision to getting united. so even if 80 percent of the population is fully immunized, that is 80 percent are not 100 percent immune. it is important to invest in prevention. prevention is cheap. prevention is easier. prevention is better. wow. one of the things that we need to worry about are the inequalities that have been embedded in cobit since the beginning people long had to pay to get access to the vaccine. whether that be driving a far distance, taking time away from work or friends and family. so there have been lots of costs that have been hidden that we really have under discussed. now we're moving into another realm where people, for reasons that may be illogical, maybe related to their health,

maybe related to issues of faith or religion are going to be taxed for those decisions. and so i think that as our society start to move toward a sense of quote unquote normal seat, i think we should be looking also to behavior the people who are vaccinated are the rest of us behaving properly in order to protect one another of us, not even an easy road for some of those happy to have coven jobs because the shots might not work for people with certain medical conditions. and alternative anti virus drugs at the u. s. were in short supply with hospitals that forced to set priorities. for some people in the pandemic era, leaving home is the same as winning a lottery meat vivian chung, a doctor, and an immunocompromised patient at high risk of severe symptoms from cove at 19. she didn't develop antibodies after vaccination except for work. i did not care at all. i have not been inside a grocery still a fall, very good news. first, the fda has recently authorized an antibody cocktail to protect people with weak

immune systems from coven 19. but here comes the bad news. the new drug is in short supply. we put everybody's name into a lottery. if people literally get their name pulled in the lottery, we bring them in for an injection. first deliveries of the drug to the massachusetts general hospital, reportedly covered less than one percent of those in need. the hospital has been forced to rank patients by medical needs and lotteries to even the odds of the most vulnerable patients. the same russian drug roulette is happening in other hospitals to it's basically by luck they happen to be randomly picked by the computer system . doctor chung was lucky to get the drug. i know the system. i know people who can pull stressful me. it's just wrong, right? everything about this is wrong. many keep trying their luck in lotteries for the life saving drug. desperate times call for desperate measures, right? manufacturers?

here without say the weekend said i had the saturday falling on deaf. is the man tasked by the british government tackle is lemme phobia in the country. claims that no one in power is listening to a word he's going to say as odds, he reports when we come back with join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. i'll be speaking to guess when the world politics, sport, business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. oh, is your media reflection of reality?

in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation for community. are you going the right way? where are you being led somewhere? which direction? what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend. ah. so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah, ah, hello again. the name of appointed by the u. k. government has a key advisor to tackle his mom, a phobia claims that he hasn't received any meaningful engagement from ministers in years carry a st. was commission to work on an anti bully discrimination project in 2019. but he says, the work never really began and his letters have gone unanswered. he told i'll tell

you about his main concerns. i was appointed in 2019, but sadly, no work has taken place since 2019 because it hasn't been potentially political will behind defining it on here to help prevent it is now for big incidence and commons happening in our society. the government has not shown any form of engagement. the government has not engaged me or responded to my correspondence. and so this, this lack of engagement is deeply disappointing. and from the muslim communities perspective, i think that the huge level of frustration that say that the not being taken seriously. because by not engaging with me regarding the defining is done before, the government is shipping,

lack of willingness to perhaps have a definition in our country. but also, i know people can read into this, that the government is not as interested in tackling this time of year as people would quite like them to do. so. all these latest claims come just days after prime minister boris johnson was accused of failing to probe allegations of islam of phobia. within his government. there i was aggravated by agra, accusations from the former transport minister. no. rac ghani. who claims that she was demoted because her quote muslim this raised concerns within the party. the p. m said that the government takes the claim seriously and doesn't tolerate any kind of discrimination. as i'm foby, it's been a growing problem in the u. k. in recent years, according to home office reports almost half of all recorded religious hate crime offences last year against muslims carry a same beliefs that the 1st step to prevent bigotry as a phobia is to define it. we need to edge and be, come up with

a definition that is acceptable to the majority of the people in this country. because without a definition, it's really hard to distinguish between what is in prejudice and the most incentive and, and what is an i'm in french and then having a definition of this down for b, it will help us to define where the red line boundaries are. you know what is acceptable and what is unacceptable behavior or an acceptable comment? because at the moment, i will remark about most themes without fear of being called out without any fear that this is something that should be unacceptable in our society. the potential to trigger the worst and equality crisis in decades. as the stark warning for more than a dozen aid organizations about you backed sanctions on the west african country of molly. the restrictions were imposed after the military government postponed

planned elections, but critics claimed that the suffocating the country reporting next here shall the 2 bench game. the situation is it di as molly battles with the worst bound to food insecurity that it suffered in a decade. sanctions way hard restrictions that include a trade embargo and financial aid being suspended were initially brought in by the economic community of west african states. but they are now being supported by you . and that is a step too far from more than a dozen aid organizations. many hundreds of thousands of persons displaced internally within molly gold. there are exemptions, as is the case at the moment, sharing goods. we have a lot of people that needed tremendous every night several 1000000 and we had, you know, a weakening as a result of sanctions that could drive more people down into

a digital situation. the sanctions have also sparked protests in the malia and capitol hill. so why have such punitive measures been imposed on one of the woods poorest countries in 2021. molly was taken over by a military crew which was led by the vice president to see mccoy, who then installed himself as being the main man. and initially the plan was to hold elections within the year. however, that pledge has since been rescinded. however, molly's recent history has been even more tangled in a military web with thousands of soldiers from european countries, mainly from here in france on the ground since 2013. ah

mm. ah. paris has also blamed the worsening relations with bunco on the arrival of russian military contract, a wagner. however, that is something that's being denied by the molly and authorities who say that only russian trainers are on the ground to strengthen the operational capacity in the exact same way as european trainers have been there for several years. annex this which is also got the e u in a twist where the wagner is or isn't present in molly, it certainly is persona non grata within the block. the activities of this group reflect russian hybrid warfare. they represent a threat and create instability in

a number of countries around the world. all of this begs the question, is molly being partially sanctioned? because it has asked for help from russia. it is clear that almost 10 years of intervention by the europeans hasn't brought peace and security to the country. and it's molly looks elsewhere for assistance. the e. u has hardened it stumps. it's pushing the country into more food insecurity and deepens, foolish, amazing crises are also besieged by our ministers in the population cannot leave the area. we also have issues of funding this you margin a crisis in my view has not been funded to, according to, to, to the needs the last year and, and the stairs not looking good as well. the reality is that sanctions will impact the poorest the most,

and it is the vulnerable in molly society that will really pay the price. challenge even ski r t, paris, western liberal democracies, now live under a false sense of freedom with the united states practically. and the civil war as well, renown philosopher level is huge ex morning and his new book, heaven in disorder. we call the low down as to why i think what day in the east, in the crazy are 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 who, you know, very strange trade cannot be done late into political engagement. in the wes can't live. he is much more in depth than the sense of the

sense off we are jealous while we are not even aware of how we are. and because we experienced ourselves do what you want. but there are different, especially digital media. it's not that what you're wrong to doing, what you are doing piece. thank you. stuck somewhere to compare old death, new pharmacy big. you can manipulate your desire, your says you disagree through that by out. she promote that. some will for talking about ecology and so on. but oh, it's quite 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 is that true? that you cannot travel even at least in the dialog. nbc sh. ready a open a teeth, a thinking fear saturday. thanks for checking in with our tv and use this our i'm calling bry, i'm going to have you next update right here in 33 minutes. i have to say get it 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 that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about

personal intelligence at that point, obviously is to great trust, rather than fear. a very job with artificial intelligence, real summoning with a robot must protect its own existence with his the earth still large enough to satisfy the ambitions of jeff bezos. you know, it's got its tentacles in so many aspects of the economy. there's nothing that amazon isn't trying to get into the step by step. the amazon empire has extended its group on the world that walks like end up being quite like a dog hit the dog. so amazon looks like monopoly trades like a monopoly makes money like a monopoly. behaves like monopoly. amazon essentially controls the market place.

it's not really a market as a private arena, a wild, where a single company shows the distribution of all our daily products. and the infrastructure of our economy is loose. the world, according to amazon. ah mm hm. a with i'm option returns in i'm back in the studio after having had corona virus here in london for the 2nd time. this is going on the ground coming up in the show,

while bar a strong to new fight for his political life. this weekend may have opposed charging those involved, the world is but hours away from commemorating a 10 minute massacre. bloody sunday, we investigate. and after the vatican last week, beatified as priests slaughtered by alleged so called us back to death squads in el salvador. what should we expect from the country supreme court, opening up a new investigation of the murders of jesuits clerics that inspired st. oscar romero himself mounted 45 years ago. we speak to an expert witness in the case dollars or more coming up in today's going underground. but 1st, we are on the eve of the 50th anniversary of bloody sunday, which sparked global outrage against the british government for parachute regiment, soldiers killing unarmed civilians in ulster, no one has ever faced trial and bras. johnson's really good government has been considering legally immunizing all soldiers involved in atrocities. joining me now
