[000:00:00;00] the, who's the us president biden plans to position the american troops in eastern europe in a show of force against russia, despite nato's chief admitting there is no certainty about whether moscow would invade ukraine. meanwhile, germany swims against the nato tide by resisting sending arms to ukraine. a move that's got the backing of the german public according to recent polls. ah, and candidates prime minister brands, the huge truck convoy opposing the vaccine mandate as extremists, despite the growing driver's movement of thousands now spreading through the capital,

auto use in the news broadcasts direct from our studios in moscow. this is our international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have with us. all right, now 1st, tonight you as president biden has pledged to send more american troops to nato countries in eastern europe in the near future. earlier this week, the pentagon had already put 8500 troops on stand by for possible deployment. although, at the same time, nato is backtracking on its months long claims that russia is about to invade its neighbor ukraine alliance chief on stockton burg. now admits there is no certainty about any invasion after all. not planning to deploy nate to combat troops to ukraine, as long as russia does not. once again decide to use military force uncertainty. while there's no certainty about the the russian plants,

or maybe they have not made any final decision for months, the usual suspects in the west have spits it out. the same old hysteria, western mainstream media quite literally drew their own picture of reality with maps of an imaginary invasion from stalsen 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. where 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 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 hispanic. but hang on, doesn't this all sound a bit like what russia had been saying all along? usually if there's any issue with the risk, if you do that, so 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 that. it 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 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 bus. that's was situation now. if russia, oh, will not be the consider as an adversary of ne, too. they will be no job, no object he full day to and the united states will lose its supreme rossi in europe on the object. if she's to freshman europe on to torpedo any reset between western europeans on russia and in order to prevent murky, pull our richie to emerge. ukraine confirmed on friday that it's received another batch of military aid from washington. $81.00 tons of ammunition were delivered in one of dozens of air transfers planned under jo biden's,

$200000000.00 support package. but not all nato members are united in weapon ising ukraine, though germany is refusing to send arms and has ruled out evacuating its embassy there, saying the move would only add to the tensions with more from berlin, his arches peer over tough times for european diplomacy. here in berlin, many of the decisions made by chancellor owner sholtes as government haven't been running on the same lines, his 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 want to live in peace and security. men have been separated from their families for years due to the conflict into dumbass . that's what the matter is about. not an imminent entry into nato. another area where germany isn't following the lead of the u. k. in us is when it comes to the

evacuation of staff from embassies and key f. berlin says it, we're just further to stabilize 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 reduce the embassy stuff and cave 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 u. s. at all. i observed with concerns 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, their voc used a debate in the bomb the starting to further cement the government's commitment to the policy seminar, demanding that weapons be delivered urgently in difficult situations. you have to repeatedly discuss your action self. critically. we have to strengthen ukraine

economically and financially. doesn't the 21st century and don't a certain with cannon's friends and allies are clearly not happy with berlin's decision. the german people seem to be ok with it. according to polling, nearly 60 percent of 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 attempts to find a diplomatic solution to the current crisis mitten in wars looming right now in the middle of europe, it's about doing everything we can to prevent a 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 without 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 of her r, t, berlin, and just unity among native members doesn't end with weapon supplies to ukraine. hungry has refused to host additional nato forces. the country's defense minister added that russian troop movement inside its own borders doesn't necessarily mean moscow wants to attack ukraine. gary and officials meanwhile, admit the countries military may have discussed not allowing any more us troops on its soil and creation said, it would withdraw its nato military personnel from eastern europe. should there be a conflict between russia and ukraine. m. e. p. terry mariani is staving about europe caving in to washington on anti russian rhetoric for you most. it's very w steady. this is real hysteria. i get the feeling that the russian army could be in paris any day. but if everything continues like this, what do you think of the real reasons you? i think some people just need to regain christine, which is the 1st the u. s. as we know they left afghanistan the most miserable way

. you're still 2nd nato, which needs to justify its existence. so i will also mention ukrainian president zalinski. your crew 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 the one source in the us. of course, the united states is our best ally, but let's remember the way to stabilize the entire middle east because this very ally explained to us that there are weapons of mass destruction their beams and it is very often necessary to state that the european union has no real foreign policy, this is and as you know today, the position of the you on this issue is in line with the position of holland romania, the baltic states. and they're very aggressive rhetoric towards russia. but other than that, the email you as a diplomatic dwarf o oscar to limit meanwhile, a civilian has been wounded by ukrainian army shelling. that's according to

officials in the self proclaimed danielle republic in the east of the country. they say the fire came from waters and targeted danielle suburbs including the village where this incident took place. the appraisal will simply brockavitch happened at half past 7 in the morning when the man went on his back yard to clear the snow. he didn't expect that to happen. the inter resident was taken to hospital no medical taken care of him, but the shut him takes place every day. people us catch you up. we have requested a response on the incident from the organization for security and cooperation in europe, which is carrying out a monitoring mission in the region. and of course, we will let you know if they give us a reply and more mortar showing has been reported in the nearby town of elect cobra, damaging civilian infrastructure. as you can see in the footage done yet, military officials say key of forces used 60 millimeter mortars,

the nato standard caliber to carry out the attacks. now the town has more than 2000 residents who live in constant fear of an army assault. we've asked both nato and the ukranian defense ministry for comment and have yet to receive a response. the canadian government is mobilizing security forces and intelligence services as the mass truck convoy. it's the capital ottawa and a rapidly growing protest against the vaccine mandates about $50000.00 truckers. i thought to be part of the demonstration. protestors are furious needing cova jobs to bring in us food, which canada heavily relies on. they warn the restrictions couldn't come at a worse time with food import costs up in astonishing 25 percent this month alone and price inflation at a 30 year high. yet ministers dismiss the demonstrators as just extremists, 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. yet kaden's are coming out in droves, waiving national flags to show their backing for the rallies. conway facebook page has now more than a 3rd of a 1000000 members, and they've got almost $8000000.00 in donations. we spoke to colon kreger, who joined at friends, driving with the convoy. he says, all different kinds of ordinary people have gone to extraordinary lengths to show their support. every area of the country that we drove by had people didn't matter. the temperature sometimes low is minus 30 degrees, standing on the edges of the road,

waving flags holding signs. they're upset that they're losing their freedoms. c through these mandy, i need to be very, very clear. it's not about the vaccine itself, it's a both the mandates and the freedom to choose whether or not we have to take them. and that is what these ordinary hardworking canadians are here. they want to, they want their freedoms store, a local journalist, it says it's a sad irony. the canadian protesters are heard more by us based billionaire on mosque than their own government, which really cares. he says more about power than health. so we 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 convinced canadians that we ourselves loves 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 are able to go, depending on their medical status and crossing it back over the proverbial pond in france, authorities outbursts against the young vaccinated are also raising eyebrows after the pair of hospitals. chief questioned whether they should even get free treatment

anymore or in 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 in the hospital, she said he had raised this question because he didn't want health care spending to explode one day due to what he called irresponsible behavior. with the discussion on this raging right now, we got the 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 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. 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 right. 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 is looking after cover to patients who end up in intensive care costs around 3000 euros a day in france with stays on the war to averaging a week to 10 days. meanwhile, the controversial new vaccine pass has come into force in the country, meaning that everyone over 16 years old will have to be jobs to be able to get access to different public spaces, like restaurants and inter city transport to get a better understanding of the issues involved, we spoke to sociology, professor robert gooch, along with a communicable diseases expert, dr. bar fraud punk hung up. we just must not make a distinction between immunized and not immunized that 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 used. 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 have been lots of costs that have been hit in 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 at the behavior of the people who are vaccinated

are the rest of us behaving properly in order to protect one another. campaign or say you can please have overstepped their powers. interesting. a woman's rights activist who campaigned against transgender inmates in women's jails officers detained jennifer swain on the hate crime charges over her posters and stickers, calling for no men in women's prisons. and for warning about the level of male violence against women, the police released a statement saying they had received complaints that of the posters contained abusive writing. you also rated swain's home and confiscated a book critical about children being allowed to change gender spokesperson for the group fair cop, which probes whether police actions have violated human rights says, officers have gone too far. well, the activity i know about is that she puts up stickers saying cervix, it's a women's fan, and that one in 3 women were murdered by man. so no,

i didn't find any of that pensive. it's a statement of simple fact because we seem to now have something happening in our country when i transfer via 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 pasting. these are criminal offenses, and absolutely the police have a right to investigate that. well, they don't have a right to do, though, is go and search a home and remove books, edited by perfectly respectable academics on topics of public interest. that's a very serious infringement of her oscar 10 rights in my view. meanwhile, swain, it took to social media to argue that her messages were not anti trans, but pro women and alleged that her thinking was being investigated rather than her actions. it's a much discussed issue. you can find more on this at

r t dot com. sarah fillmore again told us that it would be safer if women's presence did not allow transgender inmates. the 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 and do not make any alterations to their body, either you medication or surgery, i think single sex faces remain incredibly important for women and all right, be 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, more than a dozen 8 organizations are warning you back to sanctions on the west african country of molly have the potential to trigger the worst inequality crisis in decades,

the restrictions were imposed after the military government there postponed a planned elections, but critics claim they are suffocating the country. reporting next year's arteries charlotte pinsky. 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 to run it very high. several 1000000 a weakening as

a result of sanctions direct with dr. multiple down into 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 coup 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 as molly looks elsewhere for assistance, the e. u has hardened it stumps, pushing the country into more food insecurity and decency margin crazy until besieged by our ministers in the population cannot tell me. yeah, we also have issues of funding this you mentioned a crisis in my view has not been did to, according to, to, to the needs last year and, and the stairs not getting 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. and now for then completely different to wrap things up, enter the ninja as elite kurdish fighters in northern iraq show off their martial arts skills and hand to hand combat. look, oh, instructors put some 180 male and female warriors to the test in sub 0 temperatures and one of the rocks coldest regions. dressed in the customary black head gear and clothes. they practice martial arts skills including jumps forward roles and crawling in the snow. we've done that as a kid, not. now, you're watching our international godaddy with. i'll be back in about 34 minutes.

ah. yeah, that was for acting. they're having a nervous breakdown, a very public nervous breakdown as they should. things are going their way. a geography nutrition too. but john the me a job boshoway she can. hi sharon, this is rob lee with . right? yeah, that is latoya. this is rudy with she been wholesale and kelly recruiting quote and i renewed my freshman night issue of that 1000 with of love didn't get to i learned that was because she gave us times to i must be lucky. i had them of the fact not only,

not that i'm looking for federal christy asking me actually had to pay to put him on with the money that i can live with . ah, it's an open secret that private military companies have been playing a role in om, complex world wide. u. s. government doesn't track the number of contractors and 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, views,

so cool subcontractors from countries with trouble pass. the chances are quite good that they had also been child diligence processes. i was a child, as well as my job professional job. if he's with me for one full $41.00, if i said that that with no fee, no minimum own wall shit, which going to be merciless killing machines. and 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 were they fighting for nobody fathers asked about that. contractors in paris, james, all down there, here. all of mr. larry over here. so you're camps are always

a little nicer than this is evidence of absolute poverty. just fair people in our city and other cities, all across america are living like this. where at the original eden village and then opened up in 2018 right now. there's 31 homes on the property. it's a little over 4 acres with 31 homes and a community center. unfortunately, a lot of people don't make it out of edition more homelessness, like in i'm sure it and there you with

oh, i my name is how huge my grandma mom, her thomas. yeah. oh madonna, did you mind your mom, missy? i'm in cathy. yeah, hm. auction bench and put you on a bench you meet on a shoe bitten cabin. you know what if i'm not a woman? poor woman kid in the future with no one in the pipe out only. no.
