water, what were they fighting for? nobody bothers statues like that. contractors a fleeing from anger. the canadian prime minister is reportedly rushed to an evacuation site because more than $10000.00 truckers protest against vaccine mandate outside parliament. we hear from one of the activists who's been in the heart of the demonstration and also we've never seen anything like this before. either ordinary canadian, or simply tired of this product, government going out how we are going to live our lives. and we were math with local brandon is going to put in the fiji passenger, acute atlanta violating his freedom of speech up. he's all to remove his face last because of the anti bite. and let's go brandon slogan written on it. and if the british prime minister consider sending more troops to nato one at the same time

doesn't pull the russian leda critic claim. he's just trying to divert attention from the deepening party gates scandal at home. and it's 4 pm here in moscow. you're watching all t international and very wilma come to 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 defended on parliament hill in the capital. i've a new no job, no job rule. crowds and vehicles have been blocking t roads around the parliament building and also a protest is braved the warnings of extreme coal to vent that opposition to vaccine . monday, center, the pandemic restrictions when he said they would not against the japs, just like government forcing people to take the canadian activists. chris, else than 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, the not leave until all the mandates about santa 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. it 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 on boy, from british columbia and from the maritime, the mall, the other province, the bulk of birds done 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 respect. the big country, but we've never seen anything like this before. and i think it just lit a fire in canadian because this was finally 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 tried to say that this is just the brand minority of canadian with unacceptable views. and nothing could be further from the truth. either ordinary canadian or simply tired of this death bought a government telling us how we live our lives. and even telling us our thanks to a police say it's costing $600000.00 a day to maintain security in the capital during the rallies. the protests wrapped it off to the government, extended job mondays, full truck drivers crossing the border with the us. the truck is say that threatens vital supply chains, the canadian health agency, just to find the move, fighting, rising co with cases and hospitalization. let's take a look now, it how the protests haven't folded over the past few weeks.

it's not about now the vaccine itself. it's about the mandate and the freedom to choose. that is what these ordinary hardworking canadians are here. they want, they want their freedom store to small fringe minority people who are on their way to auto who are holding unacceptable. views that they are expressing do not represent the views of canadians who have been there for each other. mm. a society itself has been overtaken by fear. this convoy is all about freed up. it's 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 in what the issue,

clothing clear divisions in the country canada is main. national broadcaster was quick to point who supposedly 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, a political commentator and all to contribute to lauren chen believe that he 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, 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 federal employees as well as health care workers. there have just been many times that the canadian government has told it's 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 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. this is not america anymore. it's how a passenger on spirit lines reacted when staff told him to remove his face mosque because it had the anti bite. and let's go brandon slogan on its video of the incident has exploded on social media racking up around 400000 views on take talk alone, not america anymore. the american anymore. the company here. if i had a b l mask on what does it been? okay, what does that mean? like like that or? no. what does that 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 massive home?

i just, i can't, we are massive says let's go brandon. like this. anybody, i don't understand. the incident happened on a flight from cleveland to, to tampa. one of the crews and it was an acceptable for the passenger, other adult, not to display a political statement fighting the airlines policy. but mr. was open on claims. it's a violation of his freedom of speech. we've contacted spirit airline for comments and will bring you any response. will our slogan, let's go brandon has become a code for insulting president find and it started when now called dr. brandon graham was being interviewed a few months ago off the winning a race. the crowd behind him began chanting and explained that the president, but the reporter both, they were saying, let's go. brandon, political commentator chadwick more believe freedom of speech in the us is increasingly under a time. 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 mass, plenty of people by medicine, they think it's the dog whistle for communism, for violence, things of this nature would that work can be asked to remove the mask. obviously not. there's also the other thing, this man was also wearing a let's go brandon sweatshirt and he was after sweatshirt because that might be a little more complicated, but he was asked to replace the mass. so it's not directly probate or, or maybe what offends one person makes it other person laugh and we decide sensitivity. the huge problem in this is the land that, you know, the 1st of 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, it's a very good situation and it doesn't seem to be getting better anytime soon. as launcher

slogans on mosque, they're raising free speech issues at spotify has announced that any podcasts that contain coven related content will now be flags that's off to a number of musicians demanded the streaming joint council. popular comedian uncalled cars to joe rogan, who they accused of spreading disinformation about vaccines. i think that sounds good to me and looks at how the simplest aspects of life are becoming political. it was the best to put costs. it was the was to put cost yet again. joe rogan has landed himself bang in the middle of the culture, all his information and making money off of this information. i should say, joe rogan has been at the center of controversy. i mean, i agreed 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 best 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 this information being spread by them on the other 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 and ended up being canceled himself a true 21st century tragedy. following and young footsteps thought a seventy's full fledged joni mitchell doctors and even the world health

organization cheap, who all took a swing, a spot to fight. so 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 jordan, peter said the professor on every liberals most wanted list since were being polite . let's just say that some of the views expressed one controversial. i am white act, that's a lie to. i'm kind of town and he was actually not blind to 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 how boys conspiracy theorists eat or mosque black conservatives. whistleblowers anyway. broken is not worried and he might not be a legitimate source of medical information, but he is the most popular pug costa in the world,

untouchable. he knows that even the people he's clashed with on his own show can help it 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, broken experience? well, the might be a persona non grata, but everyone still wants to be rogan's bessie. the fust amendment, just clinging on to rogan way too big to cancel. oh and spot to fight. very, very greedy latha, joe rogan, he stays the perception. people have a famous simply based on disparaging headlines. however, he pledges to try honda when it comes to offering balanced views. we spoke to the daughter of one of rogan's latest guests, the permanent clinical psychologist, jordan peterson. she questions 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 his podcast should be aware that he comes out all these ideas about covert 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 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 as 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. still to con, giving a shot to the on to a coven job, a french medical director claims russia. sputnik vaccine is highly effective

against the quick spreading oh mcclung variance without this story and more and around 90 seconds. ah! ah.

join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. well i'll be speaking to guess from the world politics sport, business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. mm ah ah, welcome back. well, he may have a whole host of problems building at home, but the british prime minister parish jones that is looking to solve the issues at further afield. he said he could send more trips to nato forces in eastern europe, and at the same time is seeking talks with vladimir putin to improve relations. as

the tense situation of ukraine continues earlier, my colleague collin bray discuss developments with ortiz down. hawkins. well, it was just last week dining street said 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 and i'll plan to double it's troop presence, a stony, where it kind of has around a 1000 soldiers increasing that at 22000 most so part of a nato task force of thousands of phone just based across eastern europe from the baltic states to poland and romania as well, and that follows similar enough, of course, bye joe biden. just last week he said he would be bumping up at troop presence. us troop presence in eastern europe, including asian, our 1000 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 all of that, it's what they describe 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 will diplomatic efforts auster on going and the boys. johnson will have a phone call with that person. in the coming days, he will travel alongside foreign secretary list trust to the reason including to the equation and capital key. if in an apparent effort to give to play, we say a final shots, the prime minister directed the foreign and defense secretaries to prepare to go to moscow for talks with their cons parts. in the coming days, they will be asked to improve relationships with president putin's government and encourage de 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 moves 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 russian threats and even at russian invasion, stating that this sort of language simply was as panic feasible as ation and

damages the ukrainian economy. what about johnson's critics? plenty of them around at the moment they'll point to what johnson is doing to try and play hard with russia as just a tool to trying to select from the party gates, scanned lives, anybody buying what he's selling? or boy, jonathan, it's very watson for not just from the opposition, but from his own party. he had the affections you had m p 's questioning just how terrible his position really is. he's had senior figures calling for information. he also, of course places the official inquiry, the outcome of that inquiry from sir grey, the police criminal investigation into policy gate, those elect breaches of cobra regulations. and this is very much dominated media headlines, prominence, questions, even in the polls the labor party has taken for the 1st time in years a significant lead over the tories showing just how much of the public has been effected by the scandal. and critics are saying, increasingly this talk of our russian threats of russian invasion is a bit of a diversion, gives the problem to some breathing spice from these domestic problems. boris

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 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 for currency fluctuations know the moscow europeans, the ukrainians. what is clear though, is that boy sending the sorts of mixed messages. burrows johnson, according to some, certainly decreasing the sauces of a different magic solution of compromise, rather than increasing the chances of seeing onto why and finding a compromise with moscow. as person in the us are too closely co ordinates, that devastating sanctions against russia. washington to say that won't make his plans clear so the most get doesn't have a chance to limit the damage and with cause to punish russia for the situation.

ukraine rising across europe to where i go. 5th, as being taking a closer look at who's likely to lose the most and the sanctions game. the united states, the european union, not putting the final touches on our sanctions least so our renders, they promise no. when 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 next 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 on schubert, ne, 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. 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 it also didn't happen. and the history of this is only an interest of 2 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 we would get. and then she cries this in the previous sanctions, the european, especially german industry, there are hurting while europe and russia. in this case, it would be the same russia sputnik v vaccine of effective against the rapidly spreading only cron coded variance. according to a french medical institute director, we've been looking into recent joint research conducted in italy and russia.

it shows something interesting and promising that 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 ident, 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. this is called mix and match with, although i don't the thing that needs more evidence does. i'm trying to be broad missouri to doesn't have to be one. so we know in our

forms, in the general population, what enjoy your listing needs all the so i don't know what stage are advanced is and the, and that is by the i didn't need to be extra vaccination is a very, very important that is in combination with sunny diameters distancing hygiene solutions. 3, those are, those is called re often the magic. but that is, you really get a maximum. i mean, you have the freedom is so let's see what happens. we don't have enough back up to see, but i'm reasonably confident that that those so in other words,

the 2nd booster miss efficient with all i do. so some duration back would be pretty goal to get every now and then. my thanksgiving is company here and i see international this monday afternoon. we'll be back in about 30 minutes. we'll see them 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 and uses in places iraq or afghanistan, the united states army and the military in general. so reliance on the private sector, i would call the 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 sub contractors from countries with trouble pass. the chances are quite good that they had also been child diligence. i see i was i was as i drove professional joe, if he's with a said that with no snow linen maloney law which meant to be merciless killing machines. now they fight and die in other people's was people carol lock, when a dead soldier or dead marine shows up in this country and we start asking ourselves, why did they die water? what would a fighting for nobody bothers asked about the contractors. ah ah,

i mean, ah, with 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 to 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 standing.
