join me every thursday on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. me. ah, then the stories that shaped the weak you crane dominates both the headlines and the minds of nato states with lethal arms ammunition a military equipment handed over to kiev. while the u. s. u. k. prepared to send troops to eastern europe. but not all nato members agree to weaponized ukraine. germany slammed by allies for going against the block line. while some spanish opposition party say it's not their country's war to wage. spain has no police in this conflict. we are not interested in any worse. all this is a pro cation of the united states and nato, in an attempt to reshape the work order in which they are losing influence.

meanwhile, moscow says clearly and simply, if it's up to russia, that will be no ball. foreign ministers, again, row of outline the countries position and a lengthy interview to the russian media. and another stories. a reflection in the student. chair biden's caught on my consulting of fox news journalist who was just trying to get answers about record inflation that plague in the us. we go shopping in new york to see how prices are being affected there and ask the locals, how much it's hitting them in the pocket. you have to, you have to make concessions to, to fit your budget, to, to buy the essential things to feed your family. you've got 3 kids in the cost, the food is going up by drive the car almost every day, the cost the gas are going up. i don't think there was anything

i was good to have with us this weekend on. i'll see international sunday, so we're going to run you through some of the biggest headline stories we've covered here over the past 7 days. so i'm calling bright 1st for you, then this week has seen nato countries pouring weapons and military equipments in to you, cried. britain announced what it's called. it's the biggest possible offer to nato, a major military deployment to eastern europe. the u. case following a similar line to washington with president biden pledging to send more american troops to the region. in the near future, the pentagon had already put 8 and a half 1000 soldiers on standby for possible deployment, all that to deter russia. but now even key ab surgeon. com instead of panic, claiming it won't be attacked despite repeated warnings from the united states or europe, vedo countries in the near term that these would be additional brigade, combat teams, logistics personnel, medical support, aviation support, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, as well as transportation. and maybe even some additional capabilities after that,

those are behind them that you lots of such power, militarism appears in the media and i asked to reduce the intensity that exist today. little people, the situation is quite clear to italy, there is no reason for us to panic. also spend no grounds for searching a full scale tons of change. our country is even physically imposing too many of them not. so come who are not all nato members are united in weapon, ising ukraine. though germany's refusing to send arms. it's also ruled out evacuating. it's embassy that saying such a move would only add to the tensions, but it also doesn't believe there's any immediate sign of ukraine joining the nato alliance. everyone knows that this is not on the agenda at the momentum clinton russia, the people of ukraine want 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 in, in an intention to natal. that was laughing mitten in ohio. that war is looming right now in the middle of europe. smart doing everything we can to prevent a military escalation of the situation. of course, we do not deliver weapons to ukraine, is about keeping the peace,

lasting peace order in europe would not work with our russia, but only with russia in over. a cracks have also emerged inside one nato member, which is already sent to navy vessels to the black sea. spain has pledged its full support to the blog, but some of the opposition. they're not in favor of the move. local mo, we is one of the signatories of this manifest. so and the bulk of those who made the formation of the current government possible, believe that firstly, spain has no place in this conflict. we are not interested in any worse. all this is a pro cation of the united states and nato, in an attempt to reshape the world order in which they are lose an influence. the us openly meets. this is very important for its national security. so the u. s. and they to are escalating tensions. the united states and nato want on the one hand to control europe and on the other latin american literally crush and everyone who questions the hegemony of the united states and the united states and nato want to

direct the resources of control europe and lead in america to attack those whom they consider their main threat. wonder in this whole story. neither spain nor the e. u. has any role our troops should not become cannon fodder for this most enormous machine of genocide in history for nater. on friday, russians, top diplomat, spelled out clearly that the country does not want war, but that it can't allow its interests to be ignored. either foreign minister said gala prov shed his thoughts during a 90 minute interview to russian media use for your facility. if it's up to russia, there will be no war. we don't want any wars. but ignoring our interest is not something we can allow. either. americans are trying to create a hysteria of the escalation around ukraine, burrell and blink, and repeating it to some kind of a mantra. they say we hope that raja is going to choose the path of diplomacy. and i can tell you that is something we've always stuck to since soviet times. and the

outcomes of this diplomacy include the eastern bull and astronaut declarations, stipulating that no one is going to strengthen their security at the expense of others. this is the embodiment of diplomacy. i need more good power proposals to nato might seem exceptional only if the experts who assist these proposals assume that the americans have already taken everything around. so why bother put up with that? confine yourself to the bare minimum. but we want them to work with us with honesty, the day before yesterday we received their response and obfuscate things as the west is prone to do. but still there are some responses to our basic questions. in particular, with regards to intermediate and short range missiles. we also offered to withdraw military exercises further from the border on both sides. there were other measures on de escalation. they were ignored for several years. but now nature seems to be willing to talk about that. it's

a lease something isn't that what the president has already given an answer to that, if our attempts to agree on mutually acceptable principles of ensuring euro atlantic security fail, we're going to take measures in response with regard to what kind of measures he said that they can be different and will be based on the information provided by our military. if they insist that they would not change their position, we will not do it either because their position is based on distortion of facts. and our position is based on what everyone's put their signature on. i don't see the grounds for reaching the compromise here because they are distorting the previous decisions that were commonly adopted. virginia, so as for the sanctions, when our president spoke, in particular, we told the americans that the package of sanctions, including russia's disconnection from the financial systems, controlled by the west, would be equivalent to the severance of diplomatic ties. we gave a clear message and i think they understand it. i don't think it serves anybody's

interests. or they walked watertight relationship between the u. s. mainstream media and key f as in question after cnn deleted, then reinstated an article alleging that the ukranian president told joe biden that america was over playing the eminent russian invasion card. more on that next from saskia taylor on that day to us on ukrainian president had a phone conversation and the major reported the biden was warning the well the brink of wild wolf, 3 pitches waiting for the ground to frito in february. and then he'll give the signal for an invasion. let us keep his part, was trying to calm his us counterpart down by stating that it will still big us if seen then that the 2 leaders will very much at all a call between us president joe biden. and ukrainian president follow them, or is it wednesday on thursday? did not go well. a senior ukrainian official told cnn amid disagreements over the risk levels of a russian attack. so lensky urge his american counterpart to calm down the

messaging warning of the economic impact of panic. according to the official, he also said ukrainian intelligence sees the threat differently. so it quickly thought later that on top of all the other disagreements within the e. u. a. nato. now, even washington and kia, who off, quite literally brought this in onto on the same page. but then something acutely happened. less than an hour and a half off to the cnn article broke. it just disappeared. there was no trace any more bite and whipping up his theory about him in a wall and the landscape telling him to come down on its place. what a pit? well, a few of tweets from cnn people on the field about how the white house disputes, how the call wasn't a success. in fact, it was all just one big lie. whitehouse on biden's lensky call. anonymous sources are leaking falsehoods. president biden said that there is a distinct possibility that the russians could invade ukraine in february, reports of anything more different than that, are completely false,

and hot on the heels. he also came out claiming that the original article was riddled with mistakes. dear colleagues, some reports regarding the content of the talks between presidents villa dimmer zelinski and joe biden have appeared on social media. citing the alleged senior ukrainian official. these messages are completely false. so to put it simply, we had an article, citing a senior ukrainian official. now the articles disappeared in a whole army, both in the ukraine and state side out, doing damage control. what happened behind the scenes? it's still a mystery font, understandably, there are lots of questions and what suspicions? why such a shot? 180 who gave the order for the story to be taken down. and so probably not a surprise. biden's critics are calling the transparency. what they want is a transcript of the phone call. will someone ask press secretary if the white house will release the transcript? when will you release the transcript?

what exactly was said in the hour and 20 minute chat between bites and ansolaski is still unclear. what did dynamic between them to lead to says it's still unclear. is it indeed true that zalinski was the one telling biden to tone down the hysteria that are a lot of questions that also seems to be the sense that at best this was poor on verify journalism. and it was, if we're being re, cynical, that was something in that article that someone really didn't want to come out of for my indian foreign minister conwell. so bow believes that europe isn't in control of its own fate right now with us at the wheel. i think this is playing with the goal question is the expansion of nato to you again? and if that problem is, is evolved, everything else falls in place, and i am always surprised why didn't learn and sweden would remain out of natal during the whole war when the soviet union,

very strong and is said to want to be friends over the world. and continue to be outside the door. why can't there be an understanding around ukraine? why is the west, especially the united states pushing for gains, membership of natal knife on this? there can be a fundamental in understanding. then i think the rest of what is happening is totally unnecessary. and what is surprising is that europe is not in control of its destiny. it is united states is domestic politics that are pushing for a confrontation of what you claimed, not the thing is that a natural war is inconceivable. or will control the escalation that night, the side gap and it will be devastating. so i am 100 percent sure. i don't want to war and i don't think the west or you don't want more either. so this kind of need less muscle fixing by the europe and by natal is only and venomous.

the situation makes it more difficult to the law. ultimately, you have to have political negotiations on the basis of equality and mutual security, and that is the core of the issue. and gore of moving on in a hot mike moment caused embarrassment for joe biden. this week at a news conference, the president was asked about the record inflation currently blighting the us with one journalist getting back more than he expected. oh as well. it was a nasty boost baby and befitting the president, but that is imagine he was, he was stressed right. he, he needed an outlet, but silly moment we will have moments like that. but the issue here is the subject

. neither not is inflation because there are, there are 2 explanations for what but, and said the 1st is that perhaps he was kidding. you know, he was angry. this is an outlet, again, again for his stress, for his ag. and the 2nd option, which is even scarier is that he actually believes that inflation is a great asset. i'm you fall to brought, you felt that the inflation that has gripped the will not, not only live the past year, but over the past 2 years of the course of the panoramic. you walk into a shop, you look at the process. this is, this is everything fuel for our cars, clothes, for food, the prices and in supermarkets, i mean cars, computers, everything's gone up into the stratosphere. nobody's gaining from this. people are literally watching that their salaries, their wages, especially people have a fixed income or even worse for people, low income people. they are watching their salaries that purchase in power evaporate. so it is incredibly strange reading,

reading what some and the media wrote. and i'd like to note that this is, this is left wing media that inflation is somehow a good thing, why inflation can actually be good for every day americans in bad for rich people. why the inflation we're seeing now is a good thing why inflation might actually be good for the economy. those headlines that some of them have apologized the authors. they have been ridiculed to such an extent that they had to, they had to go back on, on what they wrote because there is, there isn't of, justified in this sort of the place where we are seeing in the united states, right, inflation, that is an absolute record in 40 years and 40 years, i mean the, the, the numbers are absolutely tremendous how much. 1 people are using the reason that this is all happening will part of the reason who there is the pandemic. but there is also the printing press on which the united states to a, to, to

a greater extent than the european central bank to a less extent. quintin trillions, trillions. they ran these for, for so long that give our people checks, covered checks. and what people used these co rejects for a is a by basic necessities they. they went for electronics, they went for the luxury things. and what the steve is, this caused inflation because supplier supply chains already disrupted theory with a combat. all of this is to is a for central banks. we, we've all heard, you know, central banks, high rates or whatever and we will with. so what the hell that mean? what it means that by way of increasing the interest on all loans, central banks cool off an economy by making sure there is less money to go around. the problem here is that the united states is now $29.00 trillion dollars in debt. $29.00 trillion dollars in debt and if they hike rates, they, if they hi,

grades long term. so for example, for, for 56 years, the issue will be that they're going to make much more payments, many more payments on the existing debt. so for them it would be like, shooting themselves in the foot. so they're trying to balance the needs of the economy versus the, the outcry from the public, from the people, and try to squeeze by are either pleasing ultimately, no one are we spoke to spike cohen who is a vice presidential candidate from 2020. he thinks president biden's trying to whitewash economic issues that are gripping the country right now. that he's left himself open to more criticism about being a hypocrite about, you know, how we talked for, you know, during the, during the campaign and over the last year about how he was going to be more respectful with reporters. and then he acts this way. now he's acting rattled, he's cheery, picking data, and trying to whitewash what's happening. he's telling americans not to believe

they're lying eyes and they're lying pocket books and check books telling them that they have less and less ability to be able to pay for the cost of living and are relying more and more on subsidies and help from others. just to be able to get by in life to sit there and tell an american public who is increasingly having a difficult time, being able to afford gas and groceries. and i'm not talking about the poor. i'm talking about the middle class being unable to afford the basic cost of living and telling him, oh no, my experts are telling me everything is fine. they know he's lying. so it's clear, it's not the joe biden feeling, the pressure from the economy. small business isn't household across the us of being crushed under the weighted, that spiraling inflation kind of open checked out what it's doing to store prices in new york. as the saying goes, a dollar ain't a dollar anymore, and american families are being squeezed by inflation. there has been a 7 percent increase and consumer prices over the past year. that's the fastest increase that we've seen since. 1982 joe biden has promised that he is going to

fight these increasing costs of pretty much everything. and he has already found someone to blame for the crisis. it's a bottom line. this isn't just about quick winds. it's about reversing decades of concentration of her workers, consumers, and small businesses. it didn't happen any one time. it's been over a period of time now a long time. the average cost of low bread in new york state and 2021 was $0.88 here and a popular supermarket in manhattan. there's bread for sale for roughly $3.48, or $4.27. now, prices in manhattan are loc, steeper, even in good time. that's a pretty significant increase in cost for the consumer. i food thickly thumb is really going up really quickly, really high and the flu sec. we got a phone going to boise that on just a regular trip to the supermarket. as it is becoming a becoming more difficult. you have to, you have to make concessions to,

to fit your budget, to, to buy the essential things through a feeder family. got 3 kids in the cost, the food is going up. i drive the car almost every day, the cost, the gas is going up. i don't think there was anything last january, the price of gasoline and manhattan was roughly $2.37. but now, here it be p in midtown manhattan. they want $4.79 per gallon to fill up your tank. if i could get this under control, a lot of people would breathe a huge sigh of relief and who survey shows that 76 percent of small firms in the united states have felt the negative impact of inflation over the past 6 months. there's nothing natural about it as a result of political decisions. and the result has been vast borrowing of money to speculate in the stock market. and some of that money has now fallen over into the rest of the economy. and so we have an inflation mostly because businesses

have wanted to offset profits last in 2012 and the 1st half of 2021 by raising their prices. now it is a profit driven decision being a brown, muslim, asian boy does not make you a terrorist. that's what the mother of an 11 year old boys said off to her son was referred to the case counter terrorism program called prevent. it came off for a fellow pupil accused him of saying he wished his school would burn down during fire drills. a case was closed in the investigation and found no evidence that the school boy was in contact with or supported any extremist group. however, the boys details were added to the counter terror policing database, which is mother said she had to fight hard for them to be removed. we spoke to the director of the campaign group that helps people impacted by the counter terrorism scheme. kind of a snare on your reputation,

even if nothing came of it's like somebody suspected this child of being a potential future terrorist. so that in and of itself can be quite damaging. there was a quote case which revealed that there were 10 at least 10 police databases that the child's information was stored on. so you can imagine what the implications are. i mean, i'm not sure how the police or the home office can justify having an innocent child's information on their database with regards to the psychological impacts. what we see were a lot of the families is that if the child is old enough to understand, make usually and you know, the last years of primary school will be in the secondary school, then it can be really disturbing for them. i mean one child, the parents actually had to arrange for counseling sessions for him because they were so worried about how he had internalized what happened to him in terms of being was to prevent prevent is a counter terrorism program introduced by the u. k. government. it focuses on stopping vulnerable people from being drawn into extreme as a anyone can refer someone to the scheme and almost 5000 referrals were made

between april 20, 20 and march last year in england and wales alone for its power. the british government insists all the data in the prevent program, it's confidential and it's only held temporarily early removal as possible. but anyway, it's deemed appropriate. prevent, watch though, claims that the entire scheme is discriminatory. we know that these are more likely to be more, since it's more likely that the missing child are listen, i don't, will be referred to prevent in the 1st place and therefore it's more like a m. as in child, almost an adult will have their name stored on the prevent database. so it makes sense that if you have more lessons going in a fast paced and you're certainly going to have more muslims within the prevent database, the reason why. well firstly, prevent in and of itself. it's highly discriminatory and it was designed for muslims. it was actually design post 911, right? specific people them in community. so there's no reason why it still wouldn't disproportionately target in the community. and also it relies on people trusting

their like instincts. so it taps into an old unconscious bias. even even people who think i'm not racist. you know, it's tapping into their bias is seen, even if you suspect something is strange, just refer it to prevent menosis. what they will, if you don't have to worry, rather be safe than, sorry, we can lead found a julian assange one a bid on monday to ask the u. k. supreme court to review a previous high court decision to extradite him to the united states. he's want to buy washington on charges of espionage, or the latest court decision will hold a saunters extradition from the give k for now. and it's the latest step in a long battle to avoid trial. off to wiki leagues published us classified documents more than a decade ago. but those close to the whistleblower say it's still a long way from the result. but looking for what happened in court today is precisely what we wanted to happen. but we are far from achieving justice in this case because julian has been incarcerated for so long,

and he should not have spent a single day in prison. as long as this case isn't dropped. as long as julian isn't free, julian continues to suffer. what we need for this case to be dropped entirely. that is that is that is the only real victory for war for journalism. but for julian, this is of course as a pro long incarceration is already been for more than a 1000 days in belmont prison. we've always been protesting vigorously, the fact that after the united states lost in the lower court, they were allowed to to submit the so called up. so, assurances, artie, contributor richard met hurst has been closely following all the hearings. he thinks the julian songs has a strong case to the supreme court. we have to be clear. it's not guaranteed that they'll take the case. i personally think that they will because this is a very important point of law. it's basically is the united states, the requesting state, allowed to provide assurances after it's lost the case. you know,

there are there being a sore loser effectively because julian is on one is extradition battle in january, 2021 fair and square. and then the united states provided assurances afterwards, they spent weeks arguing that you know, special administrative measures and he's horrific conditions that they're going to put him in are fine. you know, they, they, they were convinced that this is the right way thing to do. and then once they lost the case there, they started providing these assurances. and this is what needs to be determined by the supreme court is can a requesting state in an extradition give assurances to an appellate court to, to an appeals court that were not given that were not provided in a magistrate support. so this isn't just important for julian assange, it's important for all extradition and it is 100 percent relevant to, to british common law and to the public. and we have to keep in mind that even if julian does end up free, he's not safe and other jurisdictions. if he steps foot in france or germany or anywhere else where the u. s. as an extradition treaty, they could again start

a new thing. so i certainly hope that the supreme court will do the right thing. okay, that's a full the weekly next. the touching story of a couple in missouri, we've set up an entire community from scratch to house homeless people with disabilities. you're watching alta international from moscow. ah ah, bring you the very latest every out the day. this is awesome. now snow from everyone . here with

. ah lou wipe isn't ever a pca. there's always gonna be hard to take them astride. white kids were openly adopted, so i don't get to see them. my daughter was old enough when it all happened, that she definitely knew i was would remember me, but my, my twin boys, they were like 67 months old was time i seen them. so it being an open adoption. they are supposed to have access and privilege to all the information of who i am, where are that, you know, all that good jazz. so when they get to the age where they want to decide,

if they do make that choice or not, then they choose to come find me. that'd be fantastic with disorders, roach, bunches. so that is my youngest son, kevin. he's 26. he lives in new york city. he's very successful businessman and his company that him and 2 other boys and started is grossing 20000000 this year. and it's, yeah, i was so proud of him. and there's kevin and chris. this is my oldest son and his fiance. i love them so much. i'm so incredibly proud of all of them. and i'm so thankful that they're back in my life though, i'll never be able to regain the 5 years, but i feel i have a better relationship with them now. then i did back then and i think it's because we've all grown and.
