in the world corrupted, you need to descend, ah, to join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah ah, to like president barton plans to position u. s. troops in eastern europe and a show of force against russia, despite nato's chief admitting there is no certainty about whether moscow would invade your cray. meantime, germany swims against the nato type by resisting setting arms to ukraine. move. it's got the backing of the german public according to recent polls. kind of his prime minister brands, the huge truck convoy opposing the vaccine man that is extremists. despite the growing dr. is movement of thousands, no spreading through capital also. with

their live from oscar were good evening. my name is kevin know and welcome to out internationals world news at 9. so 1st president biden's pledge to send more us troops to nato countries in eastern europe in the near future. early this week, depending on it already put, 8500 troops on standby for possible deployment. although at the same time nato's back tracking on its months long claim that russia is about to invade its neighbor, ukraine, lines chief can stone. burge now admits there is no certainty about any invasion. after all, it's granted, we are not planning to deploy nate to combat troops to ukraine, as long as russia does not. once again, decide to use military force and to, well, there's no certainty about the other russian plants or maybe they have not made any final decision. for months, the usual suspects in the west have spirited out the same old hysteria west in

mainstream media, quite literally drew their own picture of reality with maps of an imaginary invasion from stultz burke 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 were now to see 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 in 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 this panic. but hang on, doesn't this all sound a bit like what russia had been saying all along? yes. with alicia with risky figures. so 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 rudely trampled on and ignored. but it seems like even all that doesn't stop the wheels at that, it bad sanctions machine rolling. the west prepares, crippling sanctions and anticipation of that same elusive rush and aggression. at this very moment, we have been very clear that if russia further invades ukraine, the united states is looking at a range of options with allies and partners to deliver severe costs to the rush 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 was no, we're reality on the wrong bus for bus bus was situation now, if russia, oh, will not be considered as an adversary of ne, too. they will be no joke, no object. he for they to and the united states will lose its supreme rusty in europe and the object if she is to fragment europe on to torpedo any reset between western europeans on russia. and in order to prevent multiple r richie to emerge. other developments ukraine confirm friday that it's received another batch of military aid from washington. $81.00 tons of ammunition were delivered in one of the dozens of ad transfers planned on the jo biden's, $200000000.00 support package. but not all nato members united weaponized in ukraine at the moment, germany's refusing to send arms and is ruled out evacuating as embassy. they're saying the move would only add to the tensions with more on that side of it. are

europe corresponded. tough time. see, you repeat the diplomacy? hearing berlin, many of the decisions made by chancellor on actual government happened to be 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 on the agenda at the moment, including russia. the people of ukraine wants to live in peace and security. may 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 in kiev. berlin say's it. we're just further destabilize the situation on the ground and ukraine. of course, we continuously check the security situation in different places around the world, including in ukraine. like, how are you partners? we have currently decided not to use 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 balk, 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 repeat the, discuss your actions, of critically we have to strengthen ukraine economical and financially because in the 21st century and don't just sudden with canon's friends and allies are clearly not happy with berlin's decision. the german people seem to be okay with it. according to polling, nearly 60 percent of the germans 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 in attempt to find a diplomatic solution to the current crisis was not mitten in wars looming right now in the middle of europe. not doing everything we can to prevent military escalation of the situation. and of course, we do not deliver weapons to ukraine because about keeping the peace, lasting peace order in europe would not work with our russia, but only with russia. it's korea, lynn believes the diplomatic doors to finding solutions 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 all t, berlin and justice unity among nature members doesn't end with weapon supplies. the ukraine, as hungary refuse to host additional nato forces. the country's defense minister out of the russian troop movement inside its own borders. doesn't necessarily mean

moscow therefore wants to attack ukraine. and bulgarian officials meantime method that they may hold talks as washington over not allowing any more us troops into this soil. croatia is saying it would withdraw its nature, military personnel, least in europe, should there be a conflict between russia and ukraine and the p. terry, mariani scathing about europe, paving into washington on anti russian rhetoric. the operator mostly to get the story. this is real hysteria. i get the feeling that the russian army could be in paris any day, like if everything continues like, what do you think the real reason? i think some people just need to regain prestige, which is 1st the us, as we know they left that can a stand on the most miserable way. second, nato, which needs to justify its existence. so i will also mention ukrainian, president zelinski was either extremely difficult situation. 5 the country. basically all these people need the pressure to build up though at the same time, i notice that almost all the media repeat the same information over and over again

. george, let's not forget that almost all of this information secret satellite imagery comes to us from one source to us, of course, the united states as our best allies. but let's remember that we have to stabilize the entire middle east because this very allies explain 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 you 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, they use a diplomatic work. you know, the time as civilians been wounded by ukrainian army shelling according to officials in the self proclaimed on that sc republic, in the east of the country. they say the fire came from motors and targeted done its suburbs including the village where this instant took place. the princess moved him 3. thank you. talk a bit. you could happened at half past 7 in the morning when the man went in his backyard to clear the snow. he didn't expect that to happen. the injured resident

was taken to hospital. now medics had taken care of him. the shadow takes place every day. people, us, cad, we've requested a response on the instant from the organization for security and cooperation in europe is carrying out a monitoring mission in the region. we'll let you know if we get any more details, but from them, but to move more to shutting has been reported in the day by 10 of your line of cover the magic damaging civilian infrastructure. as you can see the footage here. so that's officials say, campus forces use 60 millimeter motors, that's the nato stand, the caliber carrier, the attacks baton has more than 2000 residents who live in constant fear of ami assault with us. both nato and the crating defense ministry for comment and yet tough to receive a response is we get it. will it, you know, psych canadian prime minister just into those waded into the vast truck, has freedom convoy the dismissing protests against vaccine mandates is an acceptable despite the number soaring and huge trucks. now moving to block the capitals key streets, thousands of drivers

a furious and needing covey jobs to bring in us food. which kind of has every reliance on that all the restrictions couldn't come to worst hobby that with food in full costs up an astonishing 25 percent this month alone and price inflation that 30 year highs administers claim to demonstrate is a just extremis. the small fringe minority of people who are on their way to ottawa, who are holding unacceptable views that they are expressing do not represent the views of canadians who have been there for each other. we've already seen people who are equating vaccine mandates to ushering in a new era of nazi germany. frankly, there's just too much from the leaders of this convoy which is not about freedom and certainly not about truckers. we have already seen some expressions which fall very much into the category of extremism. a canadians coming out in droves way the national flags to show their backing for the rallies, a convoy facebook page, and i was more than a 3rd with 1000000 members. and i've got almost a $1000000.00 in donations. we spoke to calling craig joint friends, driving with

a convoy. he told us all different kinds of ordinary people have gone to extraordinary legs to show their support. every area of the country that we drove by had people didn't matter. the temperature sometimes as low as minus 30 degrees, standing on the edge of the road, waving flags holding signs. they're upset that they're losing their freedoms. through these mandy, i need to be very, very clear. it's not about the vaccine itself, it's about the mandates and the freedom to choose whether or not we have to take them. and that is what the ordinary hardworking canadians are here for. they want to, they want their freedoms restored. local journalist they told us is a sad are and then the canadian protest is a head nor by us based billing. it must be their own government, which really cares. he says more about power, not health. so,

so what you want to ask is, has supported this protest, and that's more, more support than we've seen from the political leadership in this country. which is really frustrating for the convoy. they told me frequently that they expect to political leadership in this country. both liberals and conservatives to either support them or at least listen to their demands. the mainstream media in canada had convince canadians that we ourselves loved the vaccine mandate. but now that we see on the ground, how many people are coming out onto the highway in the bitter cold minus 30 degrees celsius in some cases, to wave flags and support this convoy. it's clear that the what we've been told about the support of action mandates isn't really true, but the government doesn't want to release the story that they've gained throughout this pandemic. they're dead set on keeping a iron fisted grip of power over the people. deciding what they're able to do,

where they're able to go, depending on their medical status. mean time cross the pond in france authorities burse against the unvaccinated roles, the raising eyebrows after the paris hospitals. chief, the question whether or not they should even get free treatment anymore. on the la, when free and efficient drugs are available, should people be able to renounce the vaccine without consequences while we struggle to take care of other patients. so that money, those for those chief said he raised his question because he didn't want health care spending to explode. one days he put it because of irresponsible behavior with discussion on raging right now, we got some thoughts of some people in the french capital as she, i'm 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 give it up like that. it chokes me, have 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 that has on. 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, an intensive care looking after cove at patients who end up in intensive care costs about 3000 years a day in france with stays on a board, averaging anything from a week to 10 days. we telecon 1st new vaccine pos is coming to force in the country milling that everyone over 16 years old will have to be jogged to be able to get access to different public spaces like restaurants and into city transport. to get a better understanding of the issues of vote, we spoke to sociology professor robert good sher, along with communicable diseases expert, dr. barret pac hannah lee. the 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 just 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 why one of the things that we need to worry about are the inequalities that have been embedded in coded 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 are lots of cost that have been hit in that we really have under discussed the now we're moving into another realm where people, for reasons that may be illogical, may be 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 c, i think we should be looking also at the behavior of the people who are vaccinated are the rest of us behaving properly in order to protect one another. so much think about and that it says 17 post. the thanks for checking in without international this will these edition continues with may, kevin? oh, it will humorous 8 organizations. won't you box sanctions against the african state of molly contribute the was. busy crisis in decades will brief you after the break . ah

ah ah, yeah, math is practicing. they're having a nervous breakdown, very public nervous breakdown as they should. things are not going their way with ah, again, campaigners say

u. k. police will set their powers in arresting women's rights activists to campaign against transgender inmates in women's jails. offices that detained jennifer swain on hate crime charge is over a posters and stick his calling for no man in women's prisons. and for warning about the level of male violence against women, police police, the statement said they'd receive complaints that the post is contained, abusive writing. they also rated swain's home, confiscated a book, apparently critical about children being allowed to change gender, a spokesperson for the group fair call, which probes whether police actions of violated human rights says offices have gone too far. well, the activity i know about is that she put up stickers saying cervix, it's a women, stan, and that one in 3 women were murdered by man. so no, i didn't find any of that offensive. it's a statement of simple fact because we seem to now have something happening in our

country where a transfer beer is defined as anything which is reported to be offensive by anybody . and that is enough to make the police take action. obviously if she was putting up stickers and posters, which i think she's admitted, that could be criminal damage. it could be fly posting. these are criminal offenses . and absolutely the police have a right to investigate that. what they don't have a right to do though, is go and search her home and remove books, edited by perfectly respectful academics on topics of public interest. that's a very serious infringement of her article. 10 rights in my view. me while swayne took so to really to argue that her messages were not anti transmits, pro women alleged that her thinking was being investigated rather than her actions . it's much discuss issue right now. if you wanna get involved with compensation, we're not check it. us like r t, i don't know sarah fillmore me time telling us bit more. she said that it would be safer if women's prisons did not allow transgender in minutes. i think prison

should be single sex. women are usually much smaller and weaker and not as fast as men and women deserve, therefore spaces where they don't have to worry about being attacked by men or simply spaces where they can just be within without male presence. and given that the majority of trans women do not make any alterations to their body, either she medication or surgery, i think single sex spaces remain incredibly important for women and are rightly protected by law. so when sex matters, it needs to be recognized and protected and to say that is not transfer big and people should not be investigated by the police were saying that, ah, mobile or does made organizations or warning you but sanctions on the west african country of marley have the potential to trigger the worst in a quality crisis. in decades, the restrictions were imposed off the military government. their postpone planned elections, but critics claim the suffocating the country reporting next charla du berinsky.

the situation is die. as molly battles were 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 the e. u, and that is a step too far from more than a dozen aid organizations. many hundreds of thousands of persons displaced internally within money. simple marashi exemptions against the moments with darren goods. we have a lot of people that needed to run it very high. several 1000000 a weakening as a result of sanctions. that could drive more people down into a digital situation. the sanctions have all so sparked protests in the maryan capital who's

so why have such punitive measures been imposed on one of the wolves poorest countries? in 2021, molly was taken over by a military coup, which was led by the vice president to see me going to 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 blanco on the arrival of russian military contract a wagner. however, that is something that is 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 as molly looks elsewhere for assistance, the e. u has hardened stunts. it's pushing the country into more food insecurity and, and deep in school. she might in crisis until besieged by our ministers and the population cannot leave here. we also have issues of funding. there's too much in a crisis in my view has not been funded to, according to, to, to the needs last year and, and the stairs not 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. charlotte even ski r t paris lot sought internationals world news at was me, kevin,

how inside the check in a very good ah a the oh, is your media a reflection of reality?

in the world transformed what will make you feel safe, isolation, whole community? are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? wharf is great. in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. is 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 to step by step. the amazon empire has extended its grip on the world that walks like end up being quite like a dog gets

a dog. so amazon looks like monopoly trades like a monopoly makes money like a monopoly behaves like, monopolized amazon essentially controls the market place. it's not really a market as a private arena, a wild, where a single company controls the distribution of all day. the products and the infrastructure of our economy is loose. the world, according to amazon. ah, [000:00:00;00] with beth is bought for one business show you care of boredom is a branch of war and i'm rachel robinson was coming up. inflation continues your grip, not only the united states, but also the world straight ahead will discuss the impact of having on markets and

how some investors are looking to had a volatile week in trading. and should the dominance of the dollar be on the line? later on we talk about china's move to develop its own digital payment system. get a lot to get to get started. and we leave the program with more data on inflation in the world. the largest economy, the core personal consumption expenditures, price index. boy, that's a mouthful, which excludes volatile food and energy prices rose by 4.9 percent in 2021. that's the fastest paces, $983.00. now while the consumer price index, which rose by 7 percent, is more widely talked about p c. e is a major gauge used by the federal reserve to determine policy. now as prices have been rising throughout the year and a record number of people have left their jobs in what is called the resignation, the labor department also reported that wages for civilian workers increased by 4 percent in 2021. the most and symmetric started being tracked back in 2002,

that increase in wages is still well below the rise in prices. now despite higher wages and economic expansion last year, consumer spending also felt by more than half a percent in december. after gaining the previous month, and it's been a rough week for global markets as we are seeing a lot of red arrows on the board. the concerns over rising inflation and central bank action and response. well, it's cause another downward trend. we start in russia where the mo, x is the outlier here. it's actually up to percent for the week despite geopolitical tensions with the west over ukraine, the mo, exile gains of 7 percent on thursday to put it into that positive territory. the rubel also strengthened against the dollar and euro that same day energy and financials led the way with ross nef, gas problem. and se burbank all up more than 8 percent on thursday alone. that's moved to asian markets where the shanghai composite is down by more than 4 percent for the week. seeing steady losses throughout,

as has been the case with global equities in recent weeks, sentiment was weakened over action from the u. s. federal reserves plans to tighten
