why do, what were they fighting for nobody fathers down to about the contractors in a day to see, go, we are standing together with our nato allies against the potential aggression vladimir putin. i, boris jones's attempt to shift attention to ukraine is criticized by lawmakers, dennis the prob, into downing street from 2020 lockdown parties, find serious faded while we're talking of ukraine. no threat of a planned invasion has ever come from any russian politician. moscow's envoy to the un is very clear about attempts to escalate the security situation in the region. other news to wait for that thing from anger. the canadian prime ministers reportedly rushed to an evacuation site. as you go covert tonight, as more than 10000 truckers protest against vaccine mandate outside parliament,

we have one activist who's put in the heart of the demonstration. it ought to a we've never seen anything like that before. either ordinary canadian, or simply fired of a government knowing us how we are close to live our lives. i thought we were math assessment for brandon, is it a freedom to feed? also, passenger accusers, an airline, a violating is freedom of speech after he's asked to remove his face mouse because of the anti biden less go brandon slogan that was written on it. tell you more, coming up with a good evening. this is our international welcome to a we'll do at 9 from oscar with me, kevin now, and so that with a party gates scandal going from bad to worse for britain's pm, he seems to be looking to deflect attention. forest johnson shifted focus to russia, and it's supposed plan to evade ukraine on the day and internal prob came in noun, damning conclusions. forcing an apology for the from the prime minister about party

gate. personally, i want to say, sorry, mister speaker, i get it. and i will fix it. i promised i should do the decent thing on reside. yes, of course he was because he is a man without shame. if there is any honor, any or not in public life than he would resign. where is this? oh and he law will us go a correspondence across this in london? he shirley in a minute we'll talk about so what could be seen as deflection, but for shudder was dusty. this report came out, sir, from miss grey, heavily redacted. the you get the sense that she's very frustrated with the cars. cost is not going parallel per police investigation. what do we know than to night? well remember for weeks the government almost hid behind the phrase we await the

sou gray report today really was supposed to be the day to hold morris johnson and the government to account. but now we've got this report. it's just a measly 12 pages long. it's more of a common tree, more of a summary. definitely not the full report like we were expecting last week now, she was supposed to talk about 16 parties, but the police are looking into 12 of them, meaning she could only talk about 4. now about these 4 parties though some of the key lines included some behavior is difficult to justify. to little thought was given to public health, and there are many failures of leadership as well. but another line that laptop to me is on page 5 of this report and it reads, it is not possible to present a meaningful report now back to gray, almost saying there's a lot more than i want to say. but at this point, i simply cannot do so to, to this metropolitan police investigation. now, downing street says to grey can update this report later,

but that pretty much rules out. any sense of the full report will come anytime soon . but for the public, they really want to know what happened on many of these key dates like may the 20th bring your own booze. park you are allegedly a 100 people were invited, boris johnson's birthday party in june, the 19th and of course, the parties. what happened allegedly happened and the night before prince philip's funeral? no su bray says the government needs to address this immediately and does not need to wait for the police investigation guards. johnson, as you just heard the say, he's sorry, and he will fix it. and that the government can be trusted, but really the public. all questioning bar is johnson. how trustworthy the government isn't. in fact, to pull a poll, suggests that knowing in 10 people, one boris johnson to resign on the sentiment in westminster in the house of commons is no different. many m. p 's including within bars. johnson's own party want to see boris johnson walk out of number 10 for good. you get the sense times are

really running out, but he's breaking out of the moment. what a good comment to deflect attention and talk about ukraine and russia. let's talk about that with you. isa. what's happening on that side of it? well, for a johnston is fighting for his political future at home, but seems to be concerned with perhaps the tension focusing attention and focusing minds elsewhere. now, he did face a very raucous house of commons, who of course, pinning down and trying to put him under the, under the spotlight really for that alleged lawbreaking over the course of the previous or nearly 2 years now. and parties and other examples of alleged law breaking over that period. but as far as far as johnson is concerned, people should be focusing less on that. and what he said is the danger posed by russia at its president flooded a 3 to and today mrs. pico, we are standing together with our nato allies against the potential aggression

vladimir putin. when he wanted to go to install the prime minister as prime minister, a labor leader who actually published nato. this is now, all of this comes off to the u. k. has sent military forces to extensively as they would say, train forces in ukraine, also sending funds for the purchases of weapons. now portions was due earlier this afternoon to parcels was due earlier monday to have a phone call, a telephone call with vladimir putin. but that was initially pushed back to the evening. it's now going to be held tuesday. we understand don garbers johnson looking at to really try to distract politically from his own woes. the russians a lesson impressed, they say that this is exactly what that is. an attempt out of she's cation and distraction, and that's something which has been a mimics and a repeated by those,

even within the house of commons, who again, say the bars, johnson has far more important things to concern himself with. 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's going in eastern europe this week. but every one will know that he's a man with a time bomb sitting under him. now to morrow bar sonton is also scheduled to head out to the ukraine for a number of meetings there. he'll be hoping that all minds will be focused on that rather than his own political precious to that. and as far as secretary liz trusts has been speaking in the house of commons. tough talking words really from the foreign secretary, who's been saying that in order to add discourage russia from what they say, our intentions to invade ukraine. something that's been strenuously denied by

moscow, that they the u. k. government are willing to impose sanctions on u. k. companies and on russian companies and on russian businessmen. so all eyes will be on boris johnson's, a trip to the ukraine, to moran. of course, that key phone call with vladimir putin to see whether actually the prime minister's more concerned dialogue or with ratcheting attention. yes, i want to have that phone call the receiver. mr. po, to wait with baited breath. no. get, i guess shudder his dusty eastern alley finance. thank very much. we smote a former london medicaid livingston elliot telling us that this has nothing to do with russia. supposed invasion of you credit everything to do with scandals piling up around johnson at the moment used to being lied to the politics all my life. and i don't believe a word that the british government or the american government is saying about the intentions of putin. if you do, the lead of ukraine is telling the west to sort of wind all this down. i don't feel

under stress at all. if we get into sanctions with russia, we will be in a position where it damages many of our businesses, many, perhaps tens of thousands of people lose their jobs here in this country. and the simple fact is, this is all i think, being run by our prime minister barak johnson to distract attention from the scandal he's involved in that he held always illegal parties. 10 downing street, while the rest of us were already knocked down. and when a prime ministers caught lying in the end of their career, and the simple fact is, the poll ratings boris thompson are so low. and if i had to take out a bet, now that we didn't show up, i'd actually be betting that boris might be our prime minister at the end of this year. now he was curious to cancel that earlier to discuss issues run the ukraine crisis, rushes envoy was clear on the fake hysteria around supposed planned invasion the

world threat of a planned invasion into ukraine from the lips of any russian politician or public figure over all of this period has been made. no such tract has been made, if you will. what's happening? today's yet another attempt to drive a wedge between russia and ukraine. thanks to that. you do need to call games. colleagues, have been suffering for some 7 years now. where did you get the figure of a 100000 troops that deployed as you state on the russian ukrainian border? although that is not the case, we have never cited that figure. we've never confirmed that figure. the meeting took place and opened with the representative of the united states who made a number of serious allegations against russia, alleging that they are planning and invasion of ukraine, that a large number of russian troops or a mass on the border that rushes on the brink of invading ukraine, violating their sovereignty, the russian representatives say that they have no intention of the invading ukraine,

that no threat of invading ukraine has ever been leveled. now furthermore, they argued that the united states is putting ukraine in danger. that these allegations from the united states have already taken an economic toll on ukraine. there are voices in ukraine, arguing that these actions by the united states are not benefiting ukraine. and consistently, the russian representative called for recognition of the minced agreement and talked about how the united states seems to be ignoring this very, very important agreement that was made with the intention of de, escalating the situation in the country. russian representative, as he was leaving the un security council, he made very, very clear that the goal of russia is to have the situation de escalate. and he did speak about the danger of a possible provocation from the united states or a provocation of some kind designed to maybe present it is if russia was invading ukraine when they weren't or provoke some kind of action from the,

from russia. and he warned him out how the united states seems to be trying to put your brain into a situation where the situation could intensify. he pointed out that in the remarks that were made by the u. s. representative, they gave a number of people that had been killed. the russian representative pointed out that most of those people that were killed in the conflict were civilians who were killed by the ukrainian government. white, a meeting, quite big differences between the united states and russia around this issue. russia maintains these allegations coming from the united states that some kind of russian invasion of ukraine is eminent. these allegations are just not the truth. me, we keep hearing that from the rest of the site all the time. let's go to independent journalists mart in summers. so the us today brings the ukraine issued to the security council in new york. the after native chief has already said the no longer confident at all of any russian invasion. so why the contradiction? why do it today? why do any of it at all? really?

you've got to ask yourself this conflict has been in abeyance since 2014 and has got to be a reason why it's being ramped up now. and it's under zalinski, the present president of ukraine said, you know, there's no real change in the situation from the previous years. i think it's probably got to do the no string to pipeline, which is just about come on streams been built. and this is a power play by the americans and the british allies to prevent that power plant the pipeline from coming on stream. and i think that is the proximate trigger for this, but it's nothing to do with the situation on the ground in the ukraine, which is dangerous, but no more dangerous than it was before. we've had the ukrainian present just a couple of days ago and the invoice as well signal com this, that this is getting out of hand. there is no immediate invasion. there's nothing mediately happening here, rushes and wanted a pointing out western estero,

and this is actually hurting your grade most the economy. well, it, it is, and that's for president zalinski who's potentially, or somebody who could negotiate about this is a saying to his western allies and pot and patrons. you know, you're not helping us here. now you'd have thought that that might make people like doris johnson, take a step back in and have a word with themselves. but of course they've got their own. i mean, he's got his own reasons for talking it up as we are the earlier in the bulletin. and the us has got to, you know, basically does not want a peaceful resolution of this crisis. it wants it to drag on so that they can bring sanctions to bear on russia as part of general geopolitical contest with the russian federation. you know, basically threatening to fight to the last ukrainian. yeah. then we've got the discrepancy of the confusion over how many russian troops on russian soil in their

own sovereign country are gathered around ukraine's border. 100000 has been pushed around for a long time. now. mister bens it defended. that's not. although i've got a sales done otherwise, what so that the number the russia says, ah, on the border, is it more? is it less, i suppose the well using what may claim to be satellite images and intel. so it's a bit of a confusion. what's going on there yet? well, i think it is clear that there were more russian troops closer to the border in april, when the ukrainian side, basically mobilized their forces. but since then, there's been a cooling off of tension. and the russian forces all deployed inside russia, many of them in theory, in striking distance of the ukraine. but in practice, they're not ready to do it because they're not planning to do it. and i mean, when the, when the us invaded iraq, it took the months to gather all forces together to do it. and of course, that's a lot longer and further away from the u. s. than,

than ukraine is from the russian federation. but nevertheless, the idea if the russians say they're not going to invade, why isn't that good enough? no normally states, they're going to do things like this, except very rarely flung their intentions up. so they get the attention of the other side and perhaps getting to do something they want to do. the i did some kind of sneak attack being cooped up inside the kremlin as if we're dealing with hitler in 1939 is just fake theater. and he's got nothing to do the reality on the ground . we got to leave it there independent journalist martin summers. thanks for coming on the line there from bristol, u. k. appreciated. thank you. of recently. okay, now go to canada. nice canada's prime ministers treated that he has cove it today just off reportedly at the we can being rushed to a secret secure evacuation spot where more than $10000.00 truckers and their freedom convoy, supporters send it on parliament hill again. no job,

no job rules. crowds vehicles been blocking key roads around the parliament building, and also you can see self study pictures coming through protests as braved warnings of extreme cold air to vent their opposition. on the less the vaccine mandates and other pandemic restrictions, many said they were not against the jobs, just the government forcing people to take them. can i do that with chris austin? talked 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 talkers the not leave until all the mandates 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. 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 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 have a productive receptor. 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 desperate government telling us how we live our lives. and even telling us our look the thing while ought to a police say crossing $600000.00 a day to maintain security in the capital during the rallies, the protests erupt. it up to the government, extended job mandates for truck drivers. crossing the border with the us,

those truck has say that it threatens vital supply change in a really tricky time. no, but all that said, the canadian health agency justified the move, citing rising coven cases and hospitalisation. the 2nd quick reminder of how these protests of unfolded over the past few weeks. it's not about the vaccine itself. it's about the mandate 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,

society itself is overtaken by fear. this convoys is all of the freed up. it's not only with a truck driver, it's actually for every single person you, me, buddy, down the road. it doesn't matter. it's all about your free choice. me . so where the issue goes and clear divisions in the country counted is may national broadcast to them is quick to point to who supposedly to blame for the unrest just may be 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, nazi contrib. lauren shen believes there needs to be much 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. 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 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 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. and is it spreading to other streets to around the world? well, this is footage covenant of approaches to the stylists and the kind of thing. under the netherlands with people divani, the coven health rules of scraps, i can tell you will keep you posted. also the growing wave of global anti

restriction rallies tough times elsewhere talking to tough times, the french ambassador tamales been given 72 hours to quit the country as relations between paris and the african nation deteriorate further tonight, a corresponding show depends keys on it. 72 hours to vacate the country, and that is the message to francis ambassador from the maryan authorities. this marking a severe escalation intentions now between paris and marco, basically what we know is that the molly and authorities are outraged by what they say have been comments coming from french government officials over the last few weeks, which they say are outrageous. more to those comments where we have heard from the french foreign minister. this is new to peon, who basically said that the ruling jointer in molly was out of control. and we also heard from for loans. polly, who's the defense minister in france saying that france won't stay in the country

at any cost. now, of course, the tensions are even wretched it higher with this announcement that the ambassador must go. the tensions have been high for over a year now since the 2nd military coup in morley in 2 years took place back in 2021. now at the time we heard from the family and authorities that they would be free and fair elections in february of this year. but that promise has since been rescinded, and that has been to the anger of paris president micron has also announced in the last few months a phase with pool of french soldiers in marley soldiers that have been in the country since 2013 as part of operations to try and keep a lid on to hardest insurgencies in the country. now at 1st, those operations seem to be so in the ab seeds of success. but in the last few

years, the has been an escalation intentions in the country. and that doesn't seem to be the case any more, in fact, marlene's of becoming increasingly frustrated with foreign soldiers on their home turf. me of those who are french and of course are, are soldiers from other european countries as well. and as a result of that, they have been protests across molly with people saying this is a sense of these continuing colonial ties of the country. now, in the last a few weeks, we have covered here on our t, the sanctions that have now been impose on molly because of the fact that the ruling authorities are not going to hold those elections in the foreseeable future . the e u is also backing those sanctions. now it's also caused tensions that are marlene authorities have actually cooled on russia for aid in terms of training their soldiers on the ground. and of course, that has ended the european union,

which is now supporting these very severe sanctions against the country marley, one of the poorest countries in the world with 1200000 people who have food insecure and 7500000 people who are said to be in urgent aid at the moment and we've heard from agencies that those sanctions are really going to hit the most memorable but the latest news coming out of the country now is that the tensions between france and molly are pretty much an all time high that announcement that the molly and authorities have given the french ambassador just 72 hours to leave. this is not america any more, is just how a passenger on spirit laundry acted with staff, told him to remove his rather intricate. you'll see face mouth because it had the antibody. let's go brandon slogan on it. video of it as exploded on social media rec, uber unfolded 1st views on tick tock log. not america anymore,

the american anymore. the company here. if i had a b, l, a mass guy, what does it been? ok, what does that mean? like like that or? no. what does that lead to a grand in? what does that mean? it's my name. but isn't it? freedom of speech to 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. well, the incident happened on a flight from cleveland to tampa. one of the crew said it was an acceptable for the passenger, adam rodonna to display a political statement, citing the airlines policy. but he claims it's a violation of his freedom of speech. what do you think about it? we contacted spirit airlines for comments. we'll let you know if we get a response that slogan. of course, let's go. brandon. got a bit of a complicated pass. it's become a code for insulting president 5 and it started when nascar driver, brandon brown was being interviewed

a few months ago of the wedding race. the crowd behind it then began jumping and explained to the president biden. but the reporter to the better still con, can't quite place thought they was saying, let's go random, the rest is history. but as a commentator chadwick moore told me, he believes freedom of speech in the us is increasingly under attack. anyway, 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 whistle for communism, for violence, things of this nature. that's where it's gonna 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. or 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, or maybe what offends one person makes it other person laugh. and so is

decides to check with a huge problem in 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 has happened. in this case, it's a very grim situation and it doesn't seem to be getting better anytime soon. that saw world news at 9 adults international live for moscow was me kevin? oh and had tonight thanks. have a so much for checking in. i'll have you. monday is going well with

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 latent. and they who she is full of to the long, bumpy, and dusty road. they're old tired, but they have little choice. they couldn't find any bias in the village with post on any kind of the current coordinator. and i thought i heard and i showed that thousands of them didn't get to learn how to refer sheet with .
