2:00 am
a recreation came with the rest, the 7 years bill with the report. ah, if he's top's door is fleeing from anger, the canadian prime minister is reportedly rushed to an evacuation site. as 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 up we've never seen anything like that before. the, their ordinary canadian birth simply tired of this death, product government telling us how we are go to live our lives. now we were math. not for brandon. is that a thing in the feed? a passenger on an airline accused is the company violating his freedom of speech
2:01 am
after he's asked to remove his face mask because of the anti biting. let's go brandon slogan written on it with and does the british prime minister consider sending more troops tonight? so while at the same time looking for talks with the russian leader, critics claim he's just trying to divert attention from the deepening party gate scandal back home with hi there at the end of january the 31st. it's monday i'm calling bray with you. well, use for marketing international 1st for you then to canada, where the prime minister justin trudeau has reportedly be rushed to a secret secure location. as more than 10000 truckers along with supporters, the best so called freedom convoy descended on parliament hill in the capitol. it's all over at no jap, no job rule that's come in. crowds and vehicles have been blocking key roads around
2:02 am
the parliament building an altar with protest as brave warnings of extreme cold to so that they could vent their opposition to vaccine mandates. and also other pandemic restrictions in place of many said they were not against the jabs, just the government forcing people to take the canadian activist chris house and talk to us from the protests. 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 talkers not leave until all the bandits 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 the different mandate, just the political maneuver to try to control and the talk and simply are 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 can birds done ottawa, they fill it up to $53.00. it's the biggest protest, i think in canadian history,
2:03 am
geographically it's a bit difficult for canadian, productive, or 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. trudeau has probably to say that this is just a friend, minority of canadian, with unacceptable views, and nothing could be further from the truth. their ordinary canadians are simply tired of this death bought a government telling us how we live our lives. and even telling us our look to think over the situation, remaining tense. here's a quick look at how the protests unfolded. it's not about the vaccine itself. it's about demanding,
2:04 am
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 for holding unacceptable views that they are expressing do not represent the views of canadians who have been there for each other. ah, society itself is overtaken by fear. this envoys is all of the freed up. it's not only with a truck drivers, it's actually for every single person, you mean money down the road, it doesn't matter. it's all about your free choice. me so it's an issue that's clearly causing divisions in the country. meantime,
2:05 am
canada may national broadcast has been quick to point out who's probably 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, but political commentator and out a contributor, lauren chen 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 that includes just even domestically. there
2:06 am
is a federal mandate for a federal employees as well as health care workers. there have just been many times at 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 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, what, what if afflictions they might personally be experiencing unless they submit, they will not be able to go to a restaurant. 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 disturbing. i think this is about control. this is about trying to get people to submit to the governments, women, and frankly, this is,
2:07 am
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. this is not america anymore, is how a passenger on spirit airlines reacted when stuff told him to remove his face mock . because it had an antibody. let's go brandon slogan written on it. a video the incident exploded on social media and it racked up around $400000.00 views on tick tock. hello. not america anymore. the america 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 brandon like this. anybody,
2:08 am
i don't understand. the incident happened on a flight from cleveland to tampa. one of the cruise said that it was unacceptable for the passenger to display a political statement, citing the airlines policy. but he claims it's a violation of his freedom of speech and we've contacted spirit airlines for comment will bring him any response. if we hear anything back, as for the slogan itself, let's go brandon. it's become a code for insulting president biden. it started when nascar dr. brandon brown was being interviewed a few months ago after winning a race, but the crowd behind him in the stadiums again chanting and explained to him that the president reporter though, sold, they was saying, let's go. brandon, political commentator, chad whitmore believes freedom of speech in the us is 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 with will for communism, for violence,
2:09 am
things of this nature. the word that we're going to be asked to remove the mask. obviously there's also the other thing that this man was also wearing a let's go brandon sweatshirt and he was master sweatshirt 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 if any one person makes it other person laugh. and so what is the side sensitivity, the huge problem, and this is the land that, you know, the 1st amendment is supposed to be the envy of the world west. and it's certainly under attack. we don't have congress doing much to protect free speech into the 1st amendment to rate in corporations. you 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, or what? it's not just slogans that are raising free speech issues. spotify has announced that it's going to now stop flagging up any content that sculpt cove it information
2:10 am
contained within it, especially on podcast. no vessel stems back last week, when the streaming giant lost millions in its value, after a number of musicians decided they wanted that music pulled off the platform after a controversial podcast featuring the podcast her and comedian joe rogan. now t southgate. taylor takes a look. it was the best to put cost. it was the was to put cost. yes, 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 if i've got 11000000 loaner this information and making money off of it. this information? 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. but maybe it's me, but that's an easy choice. yes, neil young,
2:11 am
maybe just really into vaccines or maybe bath critic, se. just looking for the robots, 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 disinformation being spread by them. and the young spotify exec, soft, googling who neil young is. and then remembering how these, than $100000000.00 on exclusive right to the most popular podcast in the world. 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
2:12 am
a true 21st century tragedy. following and young footsteps thought a seventy's folk legend joanie 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 holden, 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 and 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. how boys, conspiracy theorists,
2:13 am
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? broken, it's not worried if he likes this logo and he might not be a legitimate source of medical information. but he is the most popular pug 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 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 joe rogan experience while the might be a persona non grata, but everyone still wants to be rogan's, betsy o and spotify. barry,
2:14 am
very greedy. as for joe rogan himself, he says the perception people have of image simply based on disparaging headlines are we spoke to the daughter of one of rogan's latest guests, the prominent clinical psychologist of jordan peterson. she questioned the outrage over the podcast. 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 as podcast should be aware that he comes out all these ideas about cobit and climate, and whatever that's being discussed as a curious comedian. he's not an expert, i think he poses an actual danger to the mainstream narrative. so most of the new 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 i these ideas anyway, because it increases curiosity. right?
2:15 am
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 now he may have a whole host of problems building at home. but the british prime minister boris johnson is looking to solve issues further afield. he said that he could send more troops to nato forces in eastern europe, but at the same time is seeking talks with ladiva potent to improve relations. as the 10th situation over ukraine continues, right across those forces. daniel hawk inside and then the british pm is going to have a lot to do this week. trying status can keep his keys to number 10. but let's look at this in particular, because it seems pretty contradictory on the face of it doesn't what it was just last week in the streets of the prime minister, determined to both accelerate diplomatic efforts and ramp up deterrence against russia. and it seems the latter is coming 1st, you guys are planned to double it fruit, present a stony work around
2:16 am
a 1000 soldiers increasing best at 22000 most so part of a nato task force of thousands of soldiers based across eastern europe from the baltic states to poland and romania as well, and not follow as similar enough. of course. bye joe biden. just last week you said he would be ramping up at troop presence. us troop presence in eastern europe, including $8000.00 soldiers on stand by full rapid deployment. and that's not all this week. the u. k. parliament will hear legislation will allow the government to target russian banks, energy companies, and also oligarchs close to the kremlin in order to deter what they described as a russian hostility. 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. diplomatic efforts are austin ongoing, and depos. johnson will have a phone call with a person in the coming days, he will travel alongside foreign secretary list trust to the reason including to
2:17 am
the equation and capital key of to up in an apparent effort to give to play. we say a final shots 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 or quite contradictory methods. they're improving relations. de escalation, while deploying troops, perhaps would confuse money, including seen the president of ukraine. but it means lensky. he said, in recent days that he wanted a western lead is not moscow. russia. but what's the latest to tone down that rhetoric of an even a russian threat and even at russian invasion, stating that this sort of language simply was panic, the specialization, and damages the cleaning equipment. what about johnson's critics? plenty of them around at the moment they'll point to walk. johnson is doing to try and play hard with russia as just a tool to try and deflect from the party gate, scanned lives, anybody buying what he's selling?
2:18 am
well, boy, jonathan, it's very watson for not just from the opposition, but from his own party. he had the affections, he had m p 's questioning, just how tenable his position really is. he's had seen if it was calling for information. he also of course, faces the official inquiry, the outcome of that inquiry from sir grey, the met police criminal investigation into paul to get those elect breaches of cobra regulations. and this is very much dominated media headlines, prominence, questions. even in the polls, the labor party is taken for the 1st time in years, a significant lead over the tories showing just how much the public has been affected by the scandal. and critics are saying, increasingly, this tool called russian threats of russian invasion is a bit of a diversion. give us a problem for some weaving spice from these domestic problems among young boys. johnson says he's helping with a 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
2:19 am
travel to moscow or wherever he is going in europe this week. but everyone will know that he's a man with a time bomb sitting under him. that was clear to see no sign wants to see diplomacy failure. nobody would benefit from rising energy prices. an unstable market, currently fluctuations in moscow, europeans or ukrainians. what is clear though, is that why sending these sorts of mixed messages for jonathan, according to some certainly decreasing the saw is a bit different magic solution of compromise, rather than increasing the chances of seeing all why and finding a compromise with moscow. i got tough monday ahead of me. all right. okay, done. hawkins. thanks very much for that. and we'll talk on this international affairs. come and take them off the gas. it's also suspects that boris johnson tried 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
2:20 am
a major complex at the same time for 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 complex not one that has ever occurred, but one that is being suggested to be likely will possible. so cur, maurice johnson. the aim is to use a potential, a story of a potential forum conflict to distract attention from the real conflict and the real internal walls 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. well as britain in the us about a closely coordinate,
2:21 am
the devastating sanctions against russia. washington says it won't make its plans clear so that moscow doesn't have a chance to limit the damage and with calls to punish russia for the situation in ukraine rising across europe to where i guess there's 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 are collaborating with governments in market
2:22 am
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
2:23 am
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, pe, 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. and 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
2:24 am
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 a sanctions 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 to great rushes, 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 is so,
2:25 am
oh, nonsense and oh, why should the russia stop the delivery of gas is a nonsense from economical point of view. and it also didn't happen in the history of this is only an interest off of the united states because the united states wants to. so their island 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 the previous sanctions, the european, especially german industry. they are hurting, while europe and russia, and this case, it would be the same. russia splitting that v vaccine is found to be effective
2:26 am
against the rapidly spreading omicron coded variance. 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 promising that it came about it. and that is in community not only to the vaccines trying to do that, but also the new micro marion. so this is the next is just the easiest to deploy for logistical reasons. so you can use it. but this is actually an instrument, you can use it as a stand alone reaction. it can also use it as a boost in combination. this is called mix and match with although and on the thing that needs more evidence
2:27 am
doesn't make them trying to be broad. maturity to doesn't have to be one. so we know in our forms, in the general population, what enjoy your listing needs all the is, is a, so i don't know what stage are advanced is and the, and that is by the way of the i didn't need to be actually vaccination is very important that is, in combination with setting diameters distancing solutions. 3 those. those is very often the magic that if you really get
2:28 am
a maximum of the free is. so let's see what happens. we don't have enough backed up now. does he have a reasonably confident so in other words, the 2nd booster when we sufficient to address for some duration, that could be pretty going to get her enough and then okay, thats you news from now from moscow, wherever you shooting in this monday hope you having a great day, so far in the go checking with us again later to update you from archie and moscow . i'm calling bry up here to do just that in around half an hour. join me every posted on me, alex simon. sure. when i'll be speaking to guess what, the world politics sport business, i'm sure business. i'll see you then. ah
2:30 am
i'm african or t as in you're watching a special edition of going underground 54 years since the tet offensive. a turning point against us was in the vietnam region that killed $6000000.00 as american forces fought that towards or make the world safer capitalism. in america, the youngest mayor of a major u. s. city was waging his own war against unrestrained corporate power targeting his city of cleveland. his stand against the privatization of the publicly owned mooney light to company echoes fights all around the world against neoliberalism. joining me now from cleveland is that mad dennis goosenich, former democratic nominee for the u. s. presidency in author of the division of light and power. dennis, thanks so much for finally being on going under ground dam. i should just start to by the fact that we're being warned here in london that vladimir putin might turn the light and power off in that your view, your thoughts on the fact that the nature.
