good morning miss rosetta my, let's thing a headlining this hour, fleeing from anger. the canadian prime ministers reportedly brushed to an evacuation site. does more than 10000 truckers protest against vaccine mandates. outside parliament. we hear from one of the activists who's been in the heart of the demonstration and also bob, we've never seen anything like this before. these are ordinary canadian birthday. we hired a bit, a government telling us how we are close to live our lives. that the british prime minister consider sending more troops to nato one of the same time looking for talks with the russian leader critics played. he's just trying to divert attention from the deepening party gauge scandal at home with spotify says it'll now

flag kobe misinformation about the musicians demanded. that music pulled from the streaming, joined the hosting, the hugely popular joe rogan podcast, which is regularly given a platform to vaccine skeptics. and i thought we were mathematical brandon, is that a freedom of a passenger acute as an airline for violating his freedom of speech? after he's off to remove his face mouse because of the anti biden, let's go brandon slogan written on it with . i stand at january and just to 9 am on monday. here in moscow. start a new week here, asi international. my name is colleen bry. welcome to the program 1st for you, the canadian prime minister just introduced has reportedly been rushed to a secret secure location. as more than 10000 truckers along with supporters of the so called freedom convoy descended on parliament hill in the capital over a new no job, no liberal crowds and vehicles have been blocking key roads around parliament

building and also have protested brave warnings of extreme cold to vent their opposition to vaccine mandates as well as other demick restrictions. many said they will not against the jobs, just the government, forcing people to take them. canadian activists, chris elson, talk to us from the protest. 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 and not leave until all the bad dates about bandanna are gone because we've been putting up for 2 years. and we've had enough, they're not following scion when they're playing all these different mandate. just the political maneuver, try to control it, and the doctor is simply going to take, they're not going to tolerate it anymore. so it's gone, boy, from british columbia and from the maritime, the mall, the other province of all converge 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 canadian productive. it's not 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 don't pride 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 bought a government telling us how we live our lives and even telling us our look the thing. although a police say it's costing $600000.00 a day to maintain security in the capital during the rallies, i take a quick look at how the protests of unfolded over the past few weeks.

it's not about the vaccine itself, it's about the man beings and the freedom to choose. that is what these ordinary hardworking canadians are here. they want to, they want their freedoms store. ah, 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, hunchback, society itself is overtaken by fear. this voice is all about, read it not only with a 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. mm

hm. with the su, causing clear divisions in the country right now. canada's main national broadcast, it was quick to point to the who's to blame for 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 political commentator, nazi contributed. lauren chad and believes that needs to be more focus 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 and ottawa, i don't think russia managed to sneak 10000 protesters across the border. i, 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 those to so this is not a question of canadians denying science or wanting to put each other's hell their wrists, or however opponents might want to spin it. it's a very different story when you tell someone that regardless of their medical status or what, what 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 auto right now. can actually may have a whole host of problems building at home. but the british prime minister parish johnson is looking to solve issues further of field that he said that he could send more troops to nato forces in eastern europe. but at the same time is seeking talks to the may put in to improve relations. he said, as if the 10 situation over ukraine continues right across those forces artes daniel hawk, inside the data. now we know that throughout the week or as johnson is going to try anything to try and keep the keys to number 10, and we'll get on to the reasons for that in a moment. this issue at hand though, seems contradictory, doesn't what he planning what it was just last week, downing street, said the prime minister is at a 7 to accept a rate diplomatic effort and ramp up the terror, the ward bloodshed in europe,

and given russia's quite explicitly express concerns about nathan truitt. build up along the western border. perhaps sending more troops wouldn't be the best thing to do to accelerate the project. it's nevertheless, though, deterrents seems to have come 1st. the u. k. has an outs plans to consider deploying a hundreds more troops to nato east european states, namely estonia, where it currently has a continued around a 1000 soldiers leading to a doubling. all. busy the u. k. troops in that country and that will be part of thousands of nathan forces deployed across eastern europe and the baltic states in poland and romania. and indeed, that follows early announcements by joe biden, who said he will be deploying extra us forces to use in europe as well. including putting aden off 1000 us troops on standby for rapid deployment. should things escalate there? and that's not all coming from the u. k. now the parliament this week is set to hear legislation which would allow the government target, russian banks,

energy companies, and oligarchy that close to the kremlin as a whole package of measures to the so called russian hostility. this is what the prominence that the say 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. both things all moving on the diplomatic front to pros. johnson of course, alongside for our secretary lives trust will be visiting the region in the coming days or. ready weeks, at least including the capital of all be afraid of broach, johnson is also set out a phone call with another person to discuss those ongoing tensions on b, ukrainian border in an effort to give diplomacy a chance something the u. k says is top of the pro to list the prime minister directed the foreign and defense 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. now you can see how these mixed messages could leave. some people confused, and one of those people is the crating president. let me ask you who just days ago actually asked westerly does not moscow the kremlin, but weston leaders to tone down that talk of endless russian. a threat of invasion even at the threat invasion. citing that causes panic, instability, and also adverse effects the crating economy. so certainly coming from the ukranian side, that's very telling all over the u. k strategy towards moscow. and because whatever johnson does right now, politically his critics and there are many floating around him right now. i'm just gonna hang back to say that this is just a tool to try and keep your own skin. yes, certainly bruce johnson is under fire. he's facing criticism from the opposition, from his own back pension piece. really questioning how tenable his position is. his 1st cause the resign from senior figures. he's a wasting that outcome of the official investigation aim to so called paul to get 5

to great the metropolitan police of all fluids throwing criminal investigations. they see if any laws and regulations were broken there and that the cobra lockdown . policy gate is very much dominated media headline, one to 5 minutes with questions. the polls as well for the 1st time in years the labor party has taken a solid lead over the conservatives, which goes to show really how much voters, how much the public have been affected by this policy gave scandal. and you was seeing people increasingly saying that the focus on russia, the focus on russian troop build up russian imminent threat of innovation could be but about of ocean to give him breathing space from the domestic issues he faced concerning the news in britain. it's inescapable. at the moment. all right, and hawkins, thanks very much for that. also more thoughts on most international affairs commentator, marco gassett also suspects the boris johnson is trying to use the situation to his own advantage. boris johnson seems to me to be trying to appeal to 2 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 for the hawks in the audience, he wants to make the point that he's 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's 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. meanwhile, as the u. k. and us fire too closely coordinate the devastating sanctions against russia. washington said that it won't make its plans clear so the moscow doesn't have a chance to limit the damage and with calls to punish russia to the situation in ukraine rising across europe. rock as they have been taking a closer look at who's likely to lose the most in the sanctions game. 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 in 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 met 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 europeans, 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, least 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 then also didn't happen. and the history of this is only an interest of the united states because the united states wants to sell their and g gas, which is produced by fracking. and this production is much more expensive if this really i will. and 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, in this case,

it would be the same. this is not america anymore, is have a passenger on spirit. airlines reacted when stuff told him to remove his face mask because he had the anti bite. and let's go brandon slogan written on it. video of the incidents exploded on social media racking up around $400000.00 views on tick tock alone. not america anymore, the american anymore. the company. if i had a b l math on what did it been? okay. what does that mean? like lives out or know what is that? well, that's grand in. what does that mean? it's my name. but isn't it? freedom of speech that have the mascot? is it? is it a freedom to see? is this message? i just i can, we are massive has lots of brandon. like is this anybody i don't understand. the incident happened on the flight from cleveland to tampa. one of the crew said

it was unacceptable for the passenger at the don't get to display political statements citing the airlines policy, but the passenger claims that it's a violation of his freedom of speech and we've contacted spirit airlines for comments on this will bring you any response as soon as we hear anything back after that slogan, let's go brandon. it's become a code for insulting president biden. it started when that's called dr. a brand and brown was being interviewed a few months ago after winning a race and crowded. the stadium behind him began chanting and later, but the president of the reporter thought they were saying met go. brandon. political commentator chadwick more believe freedom of speech in the us, increasingly under attack. it's a 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 whistle for communism, for violence, things of this nature. that's where it can be asked to remove the mask. obviously, there's also the other things 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 mass. so it's not, it's not directly probate or amber or, or maybe what if any one person makes it other person laugh. and so we decide to target the huge problem. and this is the land that, you know, the 1st amendment is supposed to be the n b, 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, spotify says it'll now flag covert related content in podcast. it comes off to billions of dollars were wiped off the value of the streaming giant when the number of musicians demanded that the music was removed from the platform. they've been angered at the company hosting popular comedian and podcast at joe rogan,

who they accused of spreading disinformation about vaccines. art saskia taylor's been looking into what scott the style. so riled. what's the best to put cost? it was the was to put cost yet again. joe rogan has landed himself bang in the middle of the culture whole. it sounds awfully familiar for my friends who get information from chinese conspiracy websites. i'm not saying that joe rogan should be removed from spot of highs, got 11000000 loaner his information and making money off of disinformation. i should say, joe rogan has been at the center of controversy. i mean, i agree that joe rogan is a hora. they can have rogan or young. not both. maybe it's me, but that's an easy choice. yes. neil young, maybe just really into vaccines. or maybe that's critic. say, just looking for the rabbits. he lost way back in the 19 seventy's told spot to fight. it's me or joe, i'm doing this because spotify spreading fake information about vaccines,

potentially causing death to those who believe the dis, information being spread by them on the young spotify exact softer, googling who neil young is. and then remembering how they spend 100000000 dollars on exclusive right to dealers, popular podcast in the wild, pretended to think long and hard about it before saying, sorry, neil, but we'll take the unbox guy who makes us super rich and trends on twitter. it was nice knowing you though. we have detailed content policies in place and we've removed over $20000.00 podcast episodes related to coven 19th since the start of the pandemic. we regret meals decision to remove his music from spotify, but hope to welcome him back soon. so young set out to cancel some unmanned ended up being canceled himself a true 21st century tragedy. following and young footsteps thought a seventy's folk legend jody mitchell, doctors and even the world health organization cheap, who all took a swing, a spot to fly, to what he said, that wound people up. well,

it's rather whom he's been speaking to. shall we be polite and call them vaccine skeptics. but then he went too far and invited to peter said the professor on every liberals most wanted list. since we're being polite, let's just say that some of the views expressed one controversial. i am white actually there to lie to, i'm kind of town and he was actually not wired. he was sort of i, there's no such thing as climate, right. climate and everything are the same word. an episode that sent people into a frenzy, but not rosa. no, he's chilled. after all, he brings an 11000000 listeners every single day. and apparently they like carry alternative views. so he's given them crowd boys, conspiracy theorists, ito moss. the black conservatives whistleblowers. oh, speaking of whistleblowers, i mean, just look at the logo, which part of this primes in you an expectation of reliable medical advice? anyway, rogan's not worried if he likes his logo and he might not be

a legitimate source of medical information. but he is the most popular pod costa in the world untouchable. so screw the haters. i've never met a hater that's doing great. those people are just losers. even better. he knows that even the people he's class with on his own show can't help but love him. he and i disagree about a lot, but i would rather engage with deeply enthusiastic, deeply curious people who i think are mistaken about many things. then only ever hear from people whose opinions i already understand. so what do we learn from this latest episode of the jo woken experience while he might be a persona non grata benevolence still wants to be rogan's, bessie owen, spotify. barry, very greedy. joe rogan himself says, the perception that people have of him is simply based on disparaging headlines. meanwhile, we spoke to the daughter of one of rogan's latest guests, the prominent clinical psychologist, jordan peterson. she questions the outrage over the podcast. there are definitely

topics and dad basically covered them all in as podcast with rogan, that if you're on one side of them, then you're the bad guy. that mainstream media isn't going to be like, oh, jordan peterson returns to rogan. you know what a fantastic episode they're going to find something he sat in there and then try and discredit him that way. stifling people's freedom of speech is more dangerous than allowing people to speak. and i mean, joe rogan as a comedian. right? so people watching his podcast should be aware that he comes out all these ideas about colvin and climate. whatever that's being discussed, as a curious comedian is not an expert. i think he poses an actual danger to the mainstream narrative. so most of the news stations people see all say the same thing. they all have one way of thinking. and joe rogan, not that he's an expert in any of these areas, but he talks to whoever he wants and he puts forth

a narrative that isn't mainstream. you can't stop people from talking about the as i these ideas anyway, because it increases curiosity. right? so just the i, the whole thing about stifling free speech doesn't work. so it's silly to dale, it's dangerous to do, and i don't think it's effective rushes. sputnik vaccine is effective against the rapidly spreading mcclung cobit variant, according to a french medical institute director who's been looking into recent joint research conducted in italy and russia. it shows something interesting and commenting it's capable to and that is in many ways not only to the actions 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,

so this is the rate of action instrument. you can use it as a stand alone reaction. it can also use it as a boost in combination. just call it mix match with although i don't the thing that needs more evidence. i'm trying to be broad, missouri to doesn't have to be one, so we know it's performance in the general population. what that would enjoy you listing needs all the is a so i don't know what stage are advanced is the and the, and that is by the way of the i didn't need to be actually vaccination

is suddenly very, very important to that is in combination with setting diameters distancing i gene solutions. 3, those is the sudden those is cold. re often the magic bullet. that is, you really get a maximum made the of the $3.00. so let's see what happens. we don't have enough back up now to c and went to am reasonably confident that the 3rd dose so that in other words, the 2nd booster we miss efficient to induce immunity for, at least for some duration back would be pretty good to get her in a and that's how it looks from moscow so far this monday, the 31st of january. i'm calling bray. i'll be back here in half an hour with your next update from out the international ah.

with her, all those driven by drink shaped bankers are those with there's sinks. we dare to ask a traveling to the city has taken mel. dude and his family, several hours with him or his wife and son and 2 daughters. 9 year old layton and

they who she is for after the long, bumpy and dusty road, they're all tired, but they have little choice. they couldn't find any buyers and village church with wholesale, any calibri. cory corner. net massage like your shows are thousands of land, didn't get to a lawyer. so she gave us on i'm still playing with you guys. you.
