in the, in the, in the us president biden plans such a position. 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 twins against the nato tide by resisting sending arms to ukraine. move that's got the backing of the german public. this according to recent polls and candidates, prime minister brands, the huge truck convoy opposing the vaccine mandate as extreme. and despite the growing drivers movement of 1000, now spreading through the capital of the

broadcast, live direct from our studios. and also this is our international john thomas. certainly glad to have you minutes. all right, we start tonight with us, president biden. he 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 standby for possible deployment. although at the same time, nato is bank tracking on its months long claims that russia is bound to invade its neighbor ukraine alliance chief young suttonberg, now admits there is no certainty about any invasion. after all is correct, and 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 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 spirited out the same old hysteria,

western mainstream media, quite literally do 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 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 risk. if you go through 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 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 it was no, were reality on the wrong bus for bus. but was situation know if russia oh, will not be the consider as an adversary of natal. they will be no job, no object. he full, ne, 2, and the united states will lose its supreme rossi in europe on the object if she's to fragment europe on to torpedo any reset between western europeans on russia and in order to prevent murky power with you 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 new members are united and weaponized in ukraine, though germany is refusing to send arms and has ruled out evacuating its embassy.

they're saying the move would only add to the tensions with more from berlin. here's archie's peter over tough time. see, you repeat diplomacy, he remember leon many of the decisions made by chancellor on actual government hobbins being 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 don 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 destabilize the situation on the ground in 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 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, bare bulk used a debate in the bond. the stag, defer the cement, the government's commitment to the policy. seminar demand in the weapons be delivered urgently in difficult situations. you have to repeatedly discuss your actions 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, meaning 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 attempt to find a diplomatic solution to the current crisis. now committed open wars looming right now in the middle of europe 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 with russia, but only with russia. it's korea, berlin believes the diplomatic doors defining 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 all t, berlin, and just unity among nato members. doesn't end with weapons 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. well, gary and officials meanwhile admitted that the country's military may have discussed not allowing any more us troops on its soil and croatia said it would withdraw its needle military personnel from eastern europe. should there be a conflict between russia and ukraine, m. e. p. terry marianna is scathing about europe caving into washington on anti russian rhetoric said they'll play most. it's very w steady. this is real hysteria. i get the feeling of 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 christy, which is the 1st the u. s. as we know they left afghanistan on the most miserable way. you're still 2nd nato, which needs to justify his existence. so i will also mention ukrainian president zalinski. your crew has had an extremely difficult situation inside the country.

basically, all these people need the pressure to build upto you. at the same time, i noticed 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 we had 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, say 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 a you as a diplomatic dwarf? oh, dusk. meanwhile, a civilian has been wounded by ukrainian army shelling. that's according to officials and the self proclaimed danielle republic in the east of the country. they say the fire came from mortars and targeted danielle scott suburbs including

the village where this incident to place its appraisal, moved him to rock. the chest 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 resident was taken to hospital. now medics had taken care of him when the shadow takes place every day. people, us, cad, if you feel 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 it has been reported in the nearby town of the end of damaging civilian infrastructure. as you can see in this footed chair, done yet can military officials say kids forces used 60 millimeter mortars the nato standard caliber to carry out the attacks, and the town has more than 2000 residents who live in constant fear of an army assault. we have asked both nato and the ukrainian defense minister for comment, and i have yet to receive response. switching gears now,

the canadian government is mobilizing security forces and intelligence services. as the mass trucker conway hits 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 jams 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 and 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 canadians are coming out in droves, waiving national flags, to show their backing for the rallies. the convoy 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 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 has 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 the mandy, i need to be very, very clear. it's not about the vaccine itself, it's

a both the mandate 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 freedom store. local journalist says that it's a set of irony that canadian protesters are heard more by u. s. based billionaire ilan mosque, then their own government, which really cares. he says more about power than health. so, so you want us because 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 actually mandates isn't really true, but the government doesn't want to release the story that they've gained through 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. let's stay on this topic, but cross the proverbial pond, if you will. in france, authorities outbursts against the unvaccinated are raising eyebrows after the paris hospitals. chief questioned whether they should even get free treatment anymore. all denila, 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. hospitals chief 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 a discussion on this raging right now. we got the thoughts of some people in the french capital. she, i'm completely concerned since i have my 2 grown up children, 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, so i've 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'm of 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 co patients who end up in intensive care costs around 3000 euros

a day in france with stays on the ward, averaging a week to 10 days. meanwhile, a 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 interest, city transport to get a better understanding of the issues involved, we spoke to sociology professor robert gutierrez, along with communicable diseases expert, dr. broad on canyon. 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 advice. the people who have not been immunized and help them to make that voluntary decision to getting united st. even if 80 percent of the population is fully immunized. that is 80 percent. i'm not 100 percent immune. it is important in

west 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 cost 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 to behavior the people who are vaccinated are the rest of us behaving properly in order to protect one another. campaigners say, u. k, please have overstepped their powers in arresting

a woman's rights activist who campaigned against transgender inmates in women's jails. officers detained to jennifer swain on a hate crime charges over her posters and stickers, calling for no men in women's presence. and for warning about the level of male violence against women. now police released a statement saying they had received complaints that the posters contained abusive writing. they also rated swain's home and confiscated a book critical about children being allowed to change. gender is spokesperson for the group fair comp, which probes whether police actions have violated human rights says, officers in this case have gone too far. well, the activity i know about is that she put up stickers saying cervix, it's a woman's fan. and that one in 3 women were murdered by man. so no, i didn't find any of that fence if 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 a public interest. that's a very serious infringement of her article 10 rights in my view. meanwhile, swaying took to social media to argue that her messages were not anti trends, but rather pro women and alleged that her thinking was being investigated rather than her actions. it's a much discussed issue and you can find more on this at r t dot com, or fillmore again told us that it would be safer if women's presence did not allow transgender inmates. 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 you medication or surgery, i think single sex spaces 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 to transfer big and people should not be investigated by the police are saying that more than a dozen aid 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 planned elections. but critics claim there are suffocating the country, reporting next years archie's tro davinsky. the situation is dia, 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 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 narrow exemptions as is the case at the moment and goods a several 1000000 a weakening as a result of sanctions. i've tried multiple down into digital situation. the sanctions have all so sparked protests in the maryan capitol hill.

so why have such a 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 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. and it's 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 is morally, looks elsewhere for assistance. the e u has hardened it stance is pushing the country into more food insecurity and, and deepens, foolish, amazing crisis scenarios. also besieged by our ministers in the population cannot leave the area. we also have issues of funding this you 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 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 charlotte, even sky, or t, paris. now for something completely different,

but cool. enter the ninja as elite kurdish fighters in northern iraq show off their martial arts skills and hand to hand combat o instructors. put some 180 male and female warriors to the test in sub 0 temperatures and one of iraq's coldest regions. dressed in the customary black head gear and clothes, they practice martial arts skills including jumps forward, roles and even crawling in the snow. looks like a lot of fun back when i was a kid. right. you are watching our international. i will be back in the think 34 and a half minutes with another phone for 6 news with us, with the ah, no incidents of havana syndrome, as you mentioned before,

things like difficulty concentrating, insomnia memory problems. there are so they asked to be experienced by just about everyone who was ever lived in any given week. right. and so now people all over the who are military personnel or intelligence officers or diplomats working for the american government, are now on the lookout for lisa novel. this help that's in it's in literally people are getting up in the morning and freezing and attributing it to a van a syndrome because it's so bang the champs all down through here. all of this little area over here. so your camps are always a little nicer than this. this is evidence of absolute poverty, despair. people in our city and other cities all across america are living like

this. where at the original need and village that opened up in 2018. 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 i'm just really happy it. oh, dad you with. oh, oh no child ever, we should get a 3rd me for geography nutrition, which on in english units and the sub boshoway she can. hi sharon, my name is rob with

me. i sure. yeah. very latoya, this is rudy mcgrew. she been hosting online and kelly recruiting court and i renewed my for azure night. you're sure that 1000th of love didn't get to a lot of that to me for she gave us in mind too. i must be lucky. i could fatima fact not only not that we were cooking class, i don't know cuz he asked him, do you myakea protection for him? um to see the get my stuff the money that i can la loves through. oh is your media a reflection of reality with in the world transformed what will make you feel safer?

isolation for community. are you going the right way? or are you being o direct? was his true wharf, his faith in the world corrupted. you need to descend. ah, so join us in the death will remain in the shallows. without federal enforcement of the new civil rights legislation, the states enacted the black codes. these punitive laws restricted the movement of blacks, rigged the labor economy against them and doomed them to low wages and debt. the laws also opened the door to the widespread use of convict leasing, which was just another form of slavery. so if you broke these laws,

then you could be imprisoned for it. and so then that starts the cycle of people going to prison for really trivial reasons. but getting caught up in the system because then if a white land, older or business person, paid fare fine than they had to work off that fine. and so you could be years maybe for the rest of your life in these situations because these people were not an investment like they had been during slavery so you can work them into get them replace and move on to plessy versus ferguson supreme court decision in 1896 created separate but equal the legal separation between black and white. it's always been hard for me to believe that these so called jim crow laws. the blatantly discriminated against african americans

remained in place until 19.
