ah, a ah, in the stories that shaped the weak crane dominates both the headlines and the minds of nato states with lethal arms, ammunition and military equipment handed over to kiev, while the u. s. and 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 later in an attempt to reshape the world order in which they are lose an influence. while moscow says clearly and simply,

if it's up to russia, they will be no war foreign minister. so gala prop outlined the countries position and a lengthy interview to the russian media and, and other stories a solution to pursue. jo biden's caught on my consulting a fox news journalist who was just trying to get up to about record inflation plaguing the us. we go shopping in new york to see how prices are being affected and our local how much it's hitting them in their pocket. you have to, you have to make concessions to, to fit your budget, to, to buy the essential things to feed. your family. got 3 kids and the cost the food is going up by drive the car almost every day. the cost the gas going up. i don't use anything with

abby with us that we can sunday. and i say me to take you through some of the bigger stories we've been reporting on here. over the past 7 days, i'm calling break. and this week is seen nato countries pouring weapons and military equipment into ukraine. britain's announced what they call its biggest possible off to nato, a major military deployment to eastern europe. the u. k is 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 kiev is urging com instead of panic, claiming it won't be attacked despite repeated warnings from the united states. are when movies you are a, europe, nato countries, near term. these would be additional brigade, combat teams, logistics personnel, medical support, aviation support, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance as well as transportation and, and maybe even some additional capabilities after that. those are behind them that

a lot of such param, militarism, appears in the media. i asked to reduce the intensity that exist today. little the situation is quite clear to us. there is no reason for us to panic. there are no grounds for searching a full scale offensive against our country. it is even physically impossible to achieve the muscle gone or not all nato members are united and weapon isaac, new cray, though germany is refusing to send arms and it's also ruled out evacuating its embassy. they're saying the 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 moment, including 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 dumbass. that's what the matter is about. not an imminent entry into nato. that was nathan 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 without russia,

but only with russia in all cracks have also emerged inside one member night, a member of ne, so it is already sent to navy vessels to the black sea, spain has pledged its full support to the block, but some of the opposition there on in favor of the move. when all so local law, we is one of the signatories of these 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 our escalate intentions. the united states and nato want on the one hand to control europe and on the other latin america literally crushing everyone who questions the hegemony of the united states and the united states and lay to want

to direct the resources of control europe and lead in america to attack those whom they consider their main threat 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 nato. on friday, russia's top diplomat spelled out clearly that the country does not want war, but that he can allow its interest to be ignored either for ministers. the gate of rob shed his thoughts during a 90 minute interview to russian media. history of the, the 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 mobile, our proposal 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 that were ignored for several years. but now nature seems to be willing to talk about that. it's the least something

presentable. 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 loop, how they, once water tie relationship between the u. s. the mainstream media and k f. as in

question, after cnn deleted them, reinstated an article alleging that the ukranian president had told joe biden that america was over playing the eminent russian invasion card. more on that next from saskia taylor. on thursday, the u. s. on ukrainian president had a phone conversation, and the media reported the biden was warning the well, the brink of wild wall, 3 hooton's waiting for the ground to freeze over in february. and that hell give the signal for an invasion, zaleski, for his part, was trying partly to calm his you asked counterpart down by stating that it's all still ambiguous. it seemed then that the 2 leaders was very much at odds. a call between us president joe biden and ukrainian president vollmer zalinski on thursday did not go well. a senior ukrainian official told cnn i met disagreements over the risk levels of a russian attack. cholenski urged his american counterpart to calm down the messaging warning of economic impact of panic. according to the official,

he also said ukrainian intelligent seized the threat differently. so quickly such later that on top of all the other disagreements within the you and nato. now, even washington and kia, who off, quite literally brothers in arms on to, on the same page. but then something peculiar happened. less than an hour and a half off to the scene. an article broke. it just disappeared. there was no trace any more, a bite and whipping up hysteria about him in a wool and zelinski, telling him to calm down on in its place. what a pit? well, a snoo of tweets from cnn people on from her field about how the white house disputes, how the coal wasn't a success. in fact, it was all just one big lie. white house on biden's, zalinski 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 on hot on these heels. he also came out claiming that the

written article was riddled with mistakes. dear colleagues, some reports regarding the content of the talks between presidents villa dimmer zalinski 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 that all of the questions and what suspicions, why such a shop? one, a teeth who gave the order for the story to be taken down. and so prob, late, 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 bite and,

and soon as he is still unclear what did dynamic between them to lead to says it's still unclear. is it indeed true that zelinski was the one telling bite and to tone down the hysteria that are a lot of questions. there also seems to be the sense that at best this was poor on verify john anderson. and it was, if we're being ready, cynical, that was something in that article that someone really didn't want to come out from ford, from a far former indian foreign minister conwell sabelle believes the europe isn't in control of its own fate right now, especially with the u. s of the wheel. i think this is playing with fire. the gold question is the expansion of nato to your game. and if that problem is evolved, everything else falls in place. and i am always surprised why finland and sweden would remain out of the needle during the whole war when the soviet union, very strong. and his tread was the friends over the world and continue to be

outside the door. the why can't there be an understanding around ukraine? why is the west, especially the united states pushing for grant's 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 claim, not the thing is that a natural war is inconceivable. or will control the escalation letter night. the side gap and it'll be devastating. so i am 100 percent sure. other than water war. and i don't think the west or europe wants more either. so this kind of need less muscle fixing by the europe and by needle it only in venomous. the

situation makes it more difficult to dissolve. ultimately, you have to have political negotiations on the basis of equality and mutual security. and that is the core of the issue and the core of what i meant, the current simmering tensions rush has agreed to move planned naval drills further from the coast of ireland. it's after the irish government and fishing community expressed concern about the potential damage the exercises could cause to the area . in response to the requests, the minister of defense of the russian federation sank. a chicago has made a decision as a gesture of goodwill to relocate the exercises, but the russian navy plans for february 3rd to february 8th, outside the irish exclusive economic zone was the aim not to hinder fishing activities by irish vessels in the traditional fishing areas. across his forest, his correspondent donal cool. so i mean done the so of all the military maneuverings

and the news this week, i don't think many people would have had money on it. being between the russian navy, an irish troll is but hey, we are, but will complicated than that though, isn't it? that's right. call on moscow just announced that it will move it's naval drill, scheduled for next week, which were originally set to take place in international waters, just about 150 miles off the coast of ireland. now that's after irish fishing authorities said that moscow was well within its rights to carry out these plans, but it would disrupt fishing activities in the area. so they asked if they could be relocated. we also heard from the iris, foreign minister, who pointed to the recent tensions around the conflict and ukraine. russia under the international law of the sea, can of course, undertake military exercises in international waters. this isn't the time to increase military activity and tension in the context of what's happening with ukraine at the moment. now, as the iris foreign minister pointed outright there, there's nothing illegal about russia carrying out military drills in international

waters. something that's been in the works for quite a while now, but moscow sees the decision as a gesture of good will, considering the fact that the western media has been hyping up, claims accusing russia of planning to invade ukraine for months now. and that diplomacy has been facing, set back after set back concerning this issue. so while tensions do remain high, at least ireland and russia can see i here. okay, thanks for updating us on that donald cool day in the auto newsroom. kevin hot, mike bowman cold embarrassment for joe biden. this week at a news conference the president was asked about the reco inflation currently blighting the united states with one journalists 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, 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, the 2nd option which is even scarier is that he actually believes that inflation is a great asset. i'm you felt right. you felt that the inflation that has gripped the world, not, not only of, of the past year, but over the past 2 years of the course of the pandemic. you walk into a shop, you look at the process. this is, this is evelyn 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, they're purchasing 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 when 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 is no justified in the 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 people are using career,

isn't 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 lesser extent, quintin trillions, trillions. they ran these for, for so long. they give our people checks, covered checks, and more people used these co rejects for it is by basic necessities. they, they went for electronics, they went from for luxury things. and what this did is these caused inflation supplier supply chains already disrupted theory with the combat. all of this is to it for, for central banks we, we've all heard, you know, central banks, high rates or whatever, and we would, 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's 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 a 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 them from the people, and try to squeeze by are either pleasing, ultimately, no one. or we spoke to spike cohen, who is vice presidential candidate from 2020 day things president biden's trying to whitewash the economic hardships that a, gripping the country right now. i think 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, not only is he 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 them, oh no, my experts are telling me everything is fine. they know each line. so it's clear, it's not only joe biden feeling the pressure from the economy. small business isn't households across the us and being crushed under the weight of the spiraling inflation. kind of open has been checking 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. so bottom line, this isn't just about quick winds. it's about reversing decades of concentration of hert 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 red in new york state in 2021 was $0.88. here, 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 bring it on. just a regular trip to the supermarket as it is becoming, becoming more difficult. you have to, you have to make concessions. so you to fit your budget to, to buy the essential things to a feeder families got 3 kids and 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. new 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 is the 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. wikileaks found a julian a sound when a bid on monday to ask the u. k. supreme court to review a previous high court decision to expedite him to the united states. he's wanted by washington on charges of espionage, or the latest court decision will hold the sanchez extradition from the u. k. for now. and it's the latest step in his long battle to avoid trial off the wiki leagues, published to us classified documents more than a decade ago. but those close to the whistleblower site, still a long way from the result they're looking for. what happened in court today is precisely what we want it 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 will be dropped entirely letters. so that is, that is the only real victory for or for journalism. but for julian, this is a 4th of a pro longed incarceration. he's already been for more than a 1000 days and belmont prison. we've always been protesting vigorously. the fact that after the united states lost in the lower court, they were allowed to submit the so called up sort of assurances allowed to contribute to richard met her, has been closely following all the hearings along the way. he thinks the julian a sound as a strong case of 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 is basically is the united states,

the requesting state allowed to provide assurances after its last the case. you know, there, 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 spend weeks arguing that you know, special administrative measures and these horrific conditions that they're going to put them in are fine. you know, they, they, they were convinced that this is the right way. it's 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 us to an appeals court that were not given that were not provided in a magistrate's court. so this isn't just important for julian assange, it's important for all extradition, and it is 100 percent relevant 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 us as an extradition treaty, that good again, start a new thing. so i certainly hope that the supreme court will do the right thing. ok, that's it for me in the coming i was nick air and we have to keep you posted on any new weekend developments. and then kevin were here for the rest of your sunday. for me call him right. thanks for watching archie. ah, ah, you'll need me to shoot the mahash. right. the way with me. right.

yeah. that it's like or dislike rudy with she been wholesale and kelly recruiting court and i renewed my for azure night issue of that 1000th of london and keep to our lord madam for she gave us times to i must be lucky. i could fatima fact not enough that i'm looking for that little christy asked him to jak here to try to push him. um with the money that i can live with . 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 it 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, use so called subcontractors from countries with trouble pass. the chances are quite good that they had also been child diligence processes. i was a j as a, as in my job, professional growth is he's with me for one foot. good. if i said that that with no flaw, minimum own law which are in to be merciless killing machines. ready now they fight and die in other people's was people carol, lot one or a dead soldier or dead marine shows up in this kind of the we start asking yourself, why did they die? why do? what were they fighting for? nobody bothers down to like that. contractors

oh, without federal enforcement of the new civil rights legislation? the states and acted the black codes, these punitive laws restricted the movement of blacks, rid 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 in prison 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, they're fine,

then they have 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 that blatantly discriminated against african americans remained in place until 1964. jim crow created america's own system of apartheid. jim crow was really born in the south, although it would, it would go nor certainly, but in the south it would become legal and would become part.
