oh, when customers go buy, you reduce the price, then l reduce a lower that's under cutting, but what's good for food market? it's not good for the global economy. with fleeing from anger, the canadian prime ministers reportedly rushed to an evacuation site that more than $10000.00 truckers protest against vaccine mandates. outside parliament. we hear from one driver who's been in the heart of the demonstration. in ottawa, we've never seen anything like this before. either ordinary canadian or simply tired of the government telling us how we are both to live our lives. the british prime minister consider sending more troops to nato model the same time the talks with the russian leader. critics claim he's just trying to divert attention from the deepening party gate scandal at home, and i can't wear a massive as look for brandon, is it a thing with passenger?

acute is an airline violating his freedom of speech after he's asked to remove his face. mom because of the anti biden. let's go brandon slogan written on it with the under january, just to dates am on monday here in moscow, kicking off a new week here on our t international. i'm calling right 1st for you then this our, the canadian prime minister justin for doe has reportedly been rushed to a secret secure location as more than 10000 truckers along with supporters of that so called freedom convoy to send it on parliament hill in the capital over a new no job, no job rule. crowds and vehicles have been blocking key roads around the parliament building. and also a protest is brave buildings of extreme cold to vent their opposition to vaccine mandates. and also other pandemic restrictions. many said they were not against the jobs, just the government forcing people to take the canadian activate. chris,

else didn't talk to was from the protest. this is a beautiful protest. been completely the small as you can see, i'm surrounded by some trucks. right now. i'm standing right in front of parliament . i've been here for a couple days. there been no problem whatsoever, but there is an absolute unyielding determination on the part of the truckers not leave. and so all the mandates about bandanna are gone, because we've been putting up with it for 2 years, and we've had enough, they're not following scion when they're playing all these different mandate. it just the political maneuver, try to control. and the simply are going to take, they're not going to tolerate it anymore. so a boy from british columbia and from the maritime, the mall, the other province, the balkan birds. on ottawa, they fill it up to $53.00. it's the biggest protest i think, in canadian history, geographically it's a bit difficult for canadians to productive except the big country. but we've never seen anything like this before. and i think it just lit

a fire in canadian because this is partly an opportunity for all of us to get together to show that there is a widespread movement. i guess what our government's doing through has probably to say that this is just the brand minority of canadian with unacceptable views. and nothing could be further from the truth. their ordinary canadian are simply tired of this death. but a government telling us how we live our lives and even telling us our book, the thing, or the situation remaining 10 sees a quick look at how the protests unfolded. it's not about the vaccine itself. it's about the mandates and the freedom to choose. that is what these ordinary hardworking canadians are

here. they want, they want their freedoms store, 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. ah, society itself has been overtaken by fear. this convoy is all about freed up. it's not only with the truck drivers, it's actually for every single person you, me, buddy, down the road. it doesn't matter. it's all about your free choice. app with the issue calls include divisions in the country. canada's main national broadcast was quick to whose point blame of the unrest concerns that russian actors could be continuing to fuel things as this as this protest grows. but perhaps even

instigating it from, from the outset, i'll political commentator naulty contributed. lauren chen believes that that needs to be more focused on the real problems plaguing canada. right now. i feel like this whole russian scare is, is merely something to try to detract from the protest to make it seem like these are not canadians who are part of this movement. which, when you, i mean, you look at the ground, an ottawa, i don't think russia managed to sneak 10000 protesters across the border. it is frankly insulting as well to the canadians. i think this protest is a long time coming. this is not about the vaccine itself. this is about the mandate . the canadian government has tried to implement some of the strictest in the world are right now if you are not vaccinated, cannot travel by plane train or ferry and that includes just even domestically. there is a federal mandate for a federal employees as well as health care workers. there have just been many times that the canadian government has told its people that they do not respect their

freedom of choice. the government is coercing you to do something that you may or may not want to do and to be clear. canada is one of the most vaccinated countries on the planet. the vast majority of canadians who are eligible have received both doses. so this is not a question of canadians denying science or wine to put each other's hell. there is or however, opponents might want to spin it. it's a very different story when you tell someone that regardless of their medical status, what, what if afflictions they might personally be experiencing unless they submit, they will not be able to go to a restaurant. you know, they will not be able to travel, they will not be able to visit their loved ones and hospitals, all of which are restrictions that we have seen in canada. it's very dystopian. i think this is about control. this is about trying to get people to submit to the governments, women, and frankly, this is, this is past due for canadians. we are generally not people to protests or be louder, make our voices heard. we are very polite as the stereotype goes. but i think you can only push people so far, and that is exactly what you're seeing on the streets of ottawa right now. okay,

he may have a whole host of problems building at home. but the british prime minister, boris johnson's looking sober shoot for the field. he said that he could send more troops to nato forces in e in europe. but at the same time is seeking talks of the d may put in to improve relations that says the 10 situation over ukraine. it continues right across this forces. artie is daniel hawkins. morning, dan. the talking westminster is johnson, is going to throw everything in his political arsenal to save his own skin. let's focus on this then. the offer to talk. but also to send troops was johnson planning what it was just last week, downing street and out the prime minister doesn't tend to accelerate, difficult to get and ramp up the terrorists to avoid bloodshed in europe. and that's really quite contradictory, given the recent tensions of teen russia and nice about moscow's concerns about nato build up on its western border. it seems as though the latter, the deterrence part is coming. first, the u. k. has an outs plans to consider doubling the number of troops that has

anything to europe, namely in a stony account around a 1000 soldiers that as part of thousands of nathan troops deployed across eastern europe in the baltic states in poland and romania the u. k. set double, the number of its soldiers deploy, bear or knots, indeed, follow similar announcements by joe biden. just last week, while the us president said he would be deploying extra troops to europe, including 8th and all 1000 us soldiers on standby for rapid deployment. and that's not all that you can. parliament is set to hear legislation in the coming days to allow britain to hit banks, energy companies and oligarchs, close to the kremlin in an attempt to spot a package rather to the so called russian hostility. this is what to the prominent that fairly this package would send a clear message to the kremlin. we will not tolerate their destabilizing activity, and we will always stand with our nato allies in the face of russian hostility. now

coming back to the diplomatic front, of course, both boys, johnson and foreign sex, she lives truss all set to visit eastern europe. key of the captain of ukraine in coming days in the boroughs. johnson is set to have a phone call. would love to be put in over the coming days to discuss the tensions in ukraine. so dramatic efforts suddenly isn't quite defeated. we've done and st saying that that is a priority. improving relations with russia is something of the top of the u. k pro . she lists the prime minister, directed the foreign defend secretaries to prepare to go to moscow for talks with their counterparts in the coming days. they will be asked to improve relationships with president putin government and encouraged escalation. well, you can see how they sort of jewel rhetoric has many confuse, including actually be president of ukraine. about him is against you in recent days is actually called on western leaders. not russia, but westerly that leaders to tone down their talk of eminent russian invasions

saying that that sort of rhetoric causes panic. people is ation and actually diamonds use of the exciting economy. so indeed, if the claimant, leader himself is saying this is certainly very telling of the pops conviction, said in the boy's johnson tactics. what about at home though? because johnson's critics, and at this point in time through many across the board, that's saying that this going hold on russia is just another tool to try and reflect from that swelling party gate scandal. that's around right now, who's buying it? what is true, bruce johnson is heavily on the fire from the opposition from his own pays money. if his own back pension pays, and indeed senior conservative party figures have questioned the, do well have questions for the how secure his position is, have full time to resign. he's awaiting the results of the su gray entitled inquiry into the social policy gate. you mentioned that i didn't need the police, the police a lot in their own criminal investigation to find out if any laws were broken.

policy gates is dominated media headlines prominence, a question for a policy in the poll for the 1st 5 years, the labor party has taken a significant lead ahead of the ruling faulty in the polls as well. so some of our much saying this focus on russia, the talk of a minute, threatened invasion is a bit of a new tactic. the pm has some waiting space from his domestic troubles. mister spick morris johnson says he's helping with the diplomatic situation in russia and ukraine. he has no credibility, no one trusts him. the best thing he could do to help would be to resign. he will travel to moscow or wherever he's going in europe this week. but everyone will know that he's a man with a time bomb sitting under him. it's clear that no side wants to see diplomacy fail, no sod would benefit from any escalation and conflict, whether that russian, consumers, west and consumers, those in, in the ukraine as well,

who would face economic hardship, currency fluctuations, rises in energy prices. that's all we've seen happening over the last weeks and months in the face of this tension. and certainly given russia's concerns about native build up on its western border. and indeed, the most high profile talks between moscow and may, through officials over the last few weeks regarding concerns and both sides. certainly these moves, barbara johnson by downing street would be seen to decrease the shots of diplomacy being successful rather than increased up. yeah. and de, whichever way this turns, we're going to be across it. okay, for now the vote on hawkins. thanks for that. or i some more thoughts on this than international affairs commentator marco gassett also suspects that maurice johnson tried to use the situation to his own advantage. boris johnson seems to me to be trying to appeal to audiences say he wants to talk about improving relations with moscow in order to satisfy those who don't want us to be sleep walking into

a major complex. at the same time, the hawks in the audience he wants to make the point a sending more troops into a potential conflict region on the domestic front. boris is a series of walls and conflicts which are extremely unpleasant to him. what better way to, to remove the focus from those into appear to be somewhat of a strong potential leader in a foreign conflict, not one that has ever occurred, but one that is being suggested to be likely or possible. so cur boris johnson. the aim is to use a potential, a story of a potential forum, conflicts to distract attention from the real conflict. and the real internal was being waged against his reputation in the united kingdom. so he will use his external cloud to annisa ties, domestic opposition to his apprenticeship. that's the plan anyway. and we'll see how it works. my washington said it won't show its hand when it comes to potential

sanctions against russia. so the moscow doesn't have a chance to limit the damage it comes calls to punish russia for the situation in ukraine. rise across europe to where i guess the i've been taking a closer look at who stands to gain the most from the situation the united states, the european union, not putting the final touches on our sanctions least so our renders, they promise no one seen the like in decades, they expect an eye for an eye that moscow will follow suit and turn off the gas stops. for example, exacerbating what is already a global energy crisis, no matter how many times russia has said that it won't restrict gas applause. and so bureaucrats are off scurrying about trying to figure out how will survive if they implement their own sanctions. we're collaborating with governments and market operators on supply of additional volumes of natural gas to europe,

from diverse sources across the globe liquefied natural gas. in the short term can enhance security of supply. while the continued to enable the transition of ned 0 emissions, the european commission will work for improve transparency and utilization of liquefied natural gas terminals in the ease. this is impossible, in the short term, if russia natural gas, which, which makes up a 3rd of what europe needs, is cut off entirely. you can make up for it. every day. russia supplies europe with 17000000000 cubic feet of natural gas for reference. the united states exports in total to everyone about 10000000000 cubic feet of natural gas per day. so if the united states and all of its natural gas to europe, it still wouldn't be enough to fill the void. the europeans aren't stupid, they understand the simple fact. germany needs a reliable energy supply that does not depend on

a single pipeline such as nor stream to the consequences of an escalation of the conflict would be grim for every one. so it's right to talk to each other through any suitable charles to prevent an escalation. and we haven't even begun to talk about price. some european nations, such as germany pay a quarter of the market price for russian natural gas. american gas would cost them $4.00 times as much for the same quantity. market price. this is in the middle of winter that a tom, when energy prices in europe of have doubled, have tripled, have quadrupled over the past year. at a time when you see headlines about european europeans having to choose between heating and food, the european union like many other regions in the world, is currently facing a sharp spike in energy prices. this is a high concern for citizens businesses, the european institutions and governments over the u. the european commission wants

to help and support addressing a negative impact and households and businesses as a priority. and that was before they put together sanctions. they so horrendous that they honestly expect russia to cut off the gas and perhaps even the oil as anxious list. so horrendous, they themselves don't even know what will come of it. we can't preview every action, but the intent there really is to have measures that we think will degrade russia's industrial capabilities and industrial production capacity over time. not to go off to individual every day. russian consumers, united states, the europeans, have said time and time again. that they want to avoid sanctioning russian energy so that the supplies keep feeding europe. chances are, of course, that nothing will come of this. russia remains adamant that a war, whether it triggers those sanctions or not, would be senseless. and that has no plans to invade ukraine. this

nonsense, you know, why should the russia stop the delivery of gas nonsense, from economical point of view? and it also didn't happen in the history of this is only an interest of the united states because the united states wants to sell bare and g gas, which is produced by fracking. and this production is much more expensive . it's really cheap gas from russia would be cut off for 1st we would have a demand which you wouldn't be covered, we would get problems you would get. and then she cries this in the previous sanctions, the european, especially german industry. they are hurting while europe and russia, and this case, it would be the same. this is not america anymore, is how a passenger on spirit airlines. we acted when staff told him to remove his face

mask because it had the antibody. let go, brandon slogan on a video of the incident exploded on social media racking up around 400000 views on tick tock alone. not america anymore. the american anymore. the company here, if i had a b, l, a mass guy, what is it been? okay. what does that mean? like lives out or? no, what does that grand in? what does that mean? it's my name. but isn't it freedom of speech to have this mascot? is it? is it a freedom to see? is this massive home? i just, i can't, we are massive says let's go brandon. is this anybody? i don't understand. the incident happened on a flight from cleveland to tampa. one of the crew said it was unacceptable for the passenger, adam or dog, not to display a political statement, citing the airlines policy. but mister doug, nor claims that it's a violation of its freedom of speech, where you've contacted spirit airlines,

the comment will bring you any response when we get any back. that slogan, let's go. brandon has become a code for insulting president biden. it started when i called dr. a. brandon brown was being interviewed a few months ago of the winning a race. the crowd behind him again chanting and explained it. the president of the reporter told they were saying, let's go. brandon, political commentator chadwick mobily, freedom of speech in the us, is increasingly under attack. if the contract says you can't wear offensive clothing, then what is offensive? that's all subjective. that's of the beholder. he makes the point that if someone wearing black lives matter math, many people by medicine, they think it's the dog with will for communism, for violence, things of this nature. the word that can be asked to remove them out. obviously, there's also the other thing, this man was also wearing a let's go brandon is what? sure. and you want that because that might be a little more complicated, but he was asked to replace the mass. so it's not, it's not directly probate or, or maybe what offends one person makes it other person laugh. and so what

is the side sensitivity, a huge problem, and this is the land that, you know, the 1st amendment is supposed to be the envy of the world throughout the west. and it's certainly under attack. we don't have congress doing much to protect free speech, and the 1st amendment to rate in corporations might be targeting. people are harassing people because of their political views because their political messaging happened . in this case, it's a very good situation and it doesn't seem to be getting better anytime soon. ah, rushes to putting the vaccine is effective against the rapidly spreading omicron cove at variance. according to a french medical institute director who's been looking into recent joint research conducted in italy in russia, it shows something very interesting and promising that it's capable to and that is in community not only to the vaccines trying to do that, but also the new micro marian,

so this is the most important. i didn't say next is just the easiest to deploy for logistical reasons. so you can use it. but this is the rate of exit instrument. you can use it as a standard on reaction. you can also use it as a boost in combination. just call it mix and match with although i don't the thing that needs more evidence doesn't intrigue them. trying to be brought to maturity to doesn't mean to be one. so we know it performs in the general population. what enjoy your listing needs all the me is a so i don't know what stage are advanced is the

and the and that it is by the i didn't need to be actually vaccination inserted is very, very important. that is, in combination with setting diameters distancing hygiene solutions. 3, those are, those is called very often the magic bullet. that is, you really get a maximum image of the $3.00. so let's see what happens. we don't have enough back now to c and went to a reasonably confident that the 3rd knows. so in other words, the 2nd booster we miss efficient to induce immunity for, at least for some duration back would be critical to get her in. and i was a difficult start to the new year in the central asian republic of catholics,

don initially peaceful protest, you might remember over spike and gas prices quickly descended into deadly disorder . and debts are headed back to al mattie, one of the cities hit hardest by the riots, to hear more from the people that ah ah, people who are outraged with disliking gas prices. i heard people who were taking to the streets. everything was peaceful a source. so i joined in support with them with the very beginning, it was obvious that the demonstrations were peaceful. people indeed had to my mind, well, make demands, no, even political ones. they were just tired of the pandemic,

inflation and unemployment. they went back to life. the limit, however, it escalated very quickly and for the wars, i heard people provoking the peaceful demonstrators telling them to grab arms, and some people did exactly that. why try to chest a large amount of the attackers were local people, but the organizes in the central fighting units were well trained, foreign mass race. and they had combat experience. it was clear to see eat, right when political slogans were 1st had to look in his began to spread political slogans. sites attacks and police officers who i by the way, unarmed, looting, sent that began with the writers would clearly prepared. they knew the tactics and the strategy of a city fight. there was a supply team who handed out food and water right over there to fuel the riot. another team handed out weapons and ammunition. it was not only hunting guns that

the writers had, but military assault rifles as well. i've no idea where they got them falling in the i'm very convinced that there had been long systemic preparation before hand with the dealer. it seems that harris back on people following their lead like it was in ukraine or bella roost. but all people didn't follow me. and that's the way it looks from moscow. so fathers, monday, the 31st of january. i'm calling bry, i'll be back here with your next update in just over half an hour just with your chatting with from boshoway shakeelah. hi sharon, i'm wish wish red oak loop

with a better look over the summer. moody with she been wholesale and kelly recruiting court, and i renewed my 1st night issue with london q 2. i learned that in for she gave us and i must be happy. i can. i'm of fact not only, not that i'm looking for that. know christie. i think you myakea protection for him um cuz he get my stuff. the money that i can live with, ah, a piece. a

new fresh is emerge. we don't have a therapy. we don't to look back seen the whole world leads to take action to be ready. people are judgment, common crisis with we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great. the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together with ah, ah

hello and welcome to cross stock were all things are considered. i'm peter little. war. panic is in the air, but not in care of. apparently, nato says it's united against russia, so called aggression against ukraine. but alliance members act in differing even contradictory ways. washington in london, appeared to want confrontation their allies. not so much. ah, to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guess piper, kennings and in plymouth. he is editor and found her a 21st century wire dot com. and here in moscow we have maxine switch, cough he is director of the center for advanced american studies at moscow state institute of international studies or a gentleman crosstalk rules in effect, that means you can jump any time you want and i always appreciate it. let's start

off with patrick in plymouth and i ended my introduction by saying it looks like washington in london are more keen on some kind of confrontation with russia over the, the point of ukraine. and boris johnson is, i'm going to swoop in to why europe in, you know, has his great diplomatic plan that he's a banding about, is he trying to avoid investigations into a lot of bad parties, or does he really actually have an idea? and then i will, we'll talk a little bit about bad phone calls, patrick, get your take on this pinch fever they were hearing the boys. johnson was absent without leave on this issue for weeks with so called party gate. meanwhile, the sort of the war effort in the u. k. press and through all these various ministers was going on under the surface. so it's very bizarre situation to say the least. they're sort of late to the party and politically anyway, the u. k, but they're very.
