or, or dead, marine shows up in this country and then we start asking yourself, why did they die? why, what were they fighting for? nobody bothers down to about that contractors in a day to see who we are standing together with our nato allies against the potential aggression vladimir putin. tonight, boris jones has attempted to shift attention to ukraine is criticized by lawmakers as the prob, to down the street from this 2020 lot. call the find serious failure and staying with you crane. no threats have a planned invasion is ever come from. and the russian politician moscow's envoy to the un, it's clear then about attempts to escalate the security situation in the region away from that candidates prime minister, bronze protest is as those who fly not c flags and steal food from the homeless as
2:01 pm
more than 10000 truckers and they supported rally against no jap, no job mandates at the parliament building covenant we hear from one of the activists at the hot to the mass demonstrations that we've never seen anything like this before. either ordinary canadian or simply tired of the government telling us how we are close to live our lives. i can't, we are math assessment for brandon. a see also cover this to a passenger accuses an airline, a violating it's freedom of speech offerings, hours to remove his face mask because of the anti bite. let's go brandon slogan that was written rather spectacularly on it with hello, this is off international will welcome to our world these at 10 from moscow with me . kevin, how? so that love to tell you about tonight's brief you on 1st off for the parts and we're going that's worse for britain's p. m. he seems to be looking to deflect
2:02 pm
attention, may be, or as johnson has shifted focus to russia and it's supposed plan to invade ukraine on the very day. and internal prob came to damage conclusions, forcing an apology just a bit earlier from the prime minister. personally, i want to say sorry, mister speaker, i get it and i will fix it on the promise to should to the t something and resign. 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 team in the u. k. the latest on it than tonight? poor weak sla government almost head behind the phrase. we await the su gray report today really was supposed to be the day to hold boards, johnson and the government to account. but now we've got this report. it's just
2:03 pm
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 policies, but the police are looking into 12 of them, meaning she could only talk about 4 now about these full parties though some of the key lines included some behavior is difficult to justify. too 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's 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
2:04 pm
bring your own booze party were allegedly a 100 people were invited bars, johnson's birthday party and june 19th. and of course, the parties that happened allegedly happened, and the night before prince philip's funeral, now were soon re says the government needs to address this immediately and does not need to wait for the police investigation bar johnson. i just heard the saying, he's sorry. and he will fix it, but the government can be trusted, but really the public. all questioning virus, johnson how trustworthy the government is. and in fact, a poll suggests that knowing intent people one boris johnson, it to resign on the sentiment in westminster in the house of commons, is no different either many m. p 's including within johnson's own party, want to see embarrassed chance and walk out of number tend to get yeah, you get the sense times are really running out. but he said, bravery is out of the moment what a good time on to deflect attention to talk about ukraine,
2:05 pm
russia. let's talk about that with you. he said, what's happening on that side of it? well, burs, johnston is fighting for his political future at home. but seems to be concerned with perhaps focusing mines in elsewhere. now he did face very raucous house of commons, who were of course, attending down and trying to put him under the under the spotlight. really for that alleged lawbreaking over the course of which the previous only 2 years now and forty's, and got other examples of alleged lawbreaking over that period. but as far as pers johnson is concerned, people should be focusing less on that. what he says is the danger posed by russia added to president flooded, recruited today to speak. here we are standing together with our nato allies against the potential aggression vladimir putin when he wanted not so long ago to install the prime minister as prime minister, a labor leader who actually published nato, i. now,
2:06 pm
all of this comes off to the u. k. has sent military forces to ostensibly, as they would say, trained forces in ukraine, also sending funds for the purchases of weapons. now parcels withdrew earlier monday to have a phone call, a telephone call with the brother name, whose input that was initially pushed back to the evening. it's now going to be held tuesday. we understand that are on so looking at to really try to distract politically from his own woes. the russians are less than impressed. they say that this is exactly what that is, an attempt at of shoes, cation and destruction. and that's something which has been a mimic and 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 the diplomatic situation in russia and ukraine. he has no credibility,
2:07 pm
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, tuesday, for sunset is also scheduled to head out to the ukraine for a number of meetings of their he'll be hoping that sir, will mindfully focus on that rather than some political precious to that. and as far as secretary liz trust has been speaking in the house of commons, tough talking words really from the phone secretary has been saying that, sir, in order to add discourage russia from what they say our intentions to invade ukraine, something that's been strenuously denied by moscow vein u. k. government of willing to impose sanctions on russian companies and on russian businessmen. so all eyes will be on bars. johnson's a trip to ukraine on of course, that key phone call with vladimir putin to see whether actually the prime minister
2:08 pm
more concerned dialogue or with ratcheting up tensions. covington, to from former london medic, had livingston telling us since got nothing to do with russia supposed invasion of ukraine and everything to do with scandals. paula emperor johnson used to being lied to 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 know, the lead of ukraine is telling the west to sort of wind all this down. i don't feel under threats 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 job here in this country. and the simple fact is that he's all i think being ran tough by our prime minister bar johnson to distract attention from the scandal he's involved in that he held all leisurely who parties 10 downing street while the rest of us were already knocked
2:09 pm
down when a prime minister's court lying is the end of their career. and the simple fact is, the poll ratings boris johnson is so low. and if i had to take out a bet, now that we didn't show up, i'd actually be passing the forest won't be prime minister at the end of this year or rushes envoy to the you and early a gave more details on the fake hysteria built up around the ukraine crisis as he put it at a special meeting of the security council. the blue rose no threats of a plan division of ukraine has ever been made by any russian politician. us initiated un security council meeting on ukraine is yet another attempt to drive a wedge between moscow and key of the meeting took place and opened with the representative of the united states, made a number of serious allegations against russia, alleging that they are planning and invasion of ukraine, that a large number of russian troops are a mass on the border that rushes on the brink of invading you grain violating their
2:10 pm
sovereignty in the russian representatives, say that they have no intention of the invading ukraine. that no threat of invading your brain 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 told on ukraine, that 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 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,
2:11 pm
from russia. and he warned about how the united states seems to be trying to put your grain 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 the is yields. 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. independent journalist martin summers toby is telling the ukraine itself. 2 is morning western allies to cool it president zalinski, who's potentially a, you know, somebody who could negotiate about this is a saying to his western allies and pot and patrons, you know, you know,
2:12 pm
helping us here. now you'd have thought that that might make people what bras 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. the u. s. has got a, you know, basically does not want a peaceful resolution of this crisis. it wants it to drive home so that they can bring sanctions to bear on russia. was part of general geopolitical contest with the russian federation. you know, basically threatening to fight to the last ukrainian candidates prime ministers, branded more than 10000 truckers and their supporters rattling against vaccine mandates as races to steal food from the homeless. i want to be very clear. we are not intimidated by those who hurl insults and abuse at small business workers and steal food from the homeless. we won't give in to those who fly
2:13 pm
racist flags. we won't cave to those who engage in vandalism or dishonor the memory of our veterans. well, this is footage of some of these protests in the canadian capital crowds and vehicles flocking key roads around the panama building. and also a protest is praising warnings. official warnings of extreme cold, nonetheless, to vent their opposition to pandemic restrictions. many said they were not against the jobs just being forced by the government to take them when activists talked to us from the rally. 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 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 the different mandate. just
2:14 pm
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 on boy, from british columbia and from the maritime, the mall, the other province of all can birds on ottawa, they fill it up to $53.00. it's the biggest protest i think, the canadian history geographically it's a bit difficult for canadians to have a productive, receptive 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 tried to say that this is just a friend, 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
2:15 pm
thing also a police say it's costing $600000.00 a day to maintain security in the capital during the rallies, protest ruptured off the government, extended job mandates. the truck drivers cross report over the us, but the truck is say, that's threatening vital supply chains. the canadian health agency mean tom's justified the move. so i think rising cove cases and hospitalisation, let's take a quick reminder of how all this 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, they want their freedoms, restore 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
2:16 pm
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 driver, it's actually for every single person, you mean money down the road, it doesn't matter. it's all about your choice. me what the issue causing clear divisions in the country, kansas made national broadcast. that was quick to point out who supposedly to blame from the rest just may be concerned 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 chen believes that needs to be much more focused on the real
2:17 pm
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. 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
2:18 pm
doses. so this is not a question of canadians denying science or wine to put each other's hell. there is or however, opponents might want to spin it. it's a very different story when you tell someone that regardless of their medical status, what, what if afflictions they might personally be experiencing unless they submit, they will not be able to go to a restaurant. you know, they will not be able to travel, they will not be able to visit their loved ones and hospitals, all of which are restrictions that we have seen in canada. it's very disturbing. 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. well, co voice, no inspiring crowds across the world. check these pages into a search footage from australia or in the netherlands. people demanding coven
2:19 pm
health rules. scrubs can you posted on the growing wave global nancy restriction rallies, need to check all the stories too. so much more r t dot com. the. now we're staying with cove intersections making use just come in from the u. k. the government notices it will consult whether to remove vaccine mondays. huge and controversial is the health work is in england. the possible scrapping of the unpopular rule imposed november comes amid severe st. shortages and all spittles employees face losing the job as they didn't get the 1st shot. this week, it policy would have required the employees in the state on n, h s. i'm social care workers as well to be fully vaccinated by full of 1st. it means that they receive the 1st shot very quickly, so that's going to day pretty quick to keep posted on it. the next trouble of foot in molly and france, the french ambassador tamale, has been given 72 hours to quit the country as relations between paris and the african nation. to tear a further covering that this monday night. charlotte,
2:20 pm
who been escape 72 hours to vacate the country. that is the message to francis ambassador from the marlin authorities. this marking a severe escalation intentions now between paris and per 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 rule in june to in molly was out of control. and we also heard from for loans, poly 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
2:21 pm
a year now since the 2nd military coup in molly, 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 macro 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
2:22 pm
turf. men 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 willing 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 marlin authorities of act. she called on russia for aid in terms of training there 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
2:23 pm
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 vulnerable. 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 charlotte renfield correspondence no leg. so should we value the table here? maybe this is not america anymore is how a passenger on spirit airlines reacted with staff, told him to remove his face. mars because it had the anti bowden. let's go. brandon slogan on it. video of the instance exploded or social media, rocky up around $400000.00 views on tick tock. hello. not america anymore. the america anymore. the company here. if i had a b, l,
2:24 pm
a mass guy, what is 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 to have the mascot? is it? is it a freedom to see mental health? i just, i think we are a massive level brandon. like anybody, i don't understand what all that kicked off on a flight from cleveland to tampa. one of the crew said it was an acceptable for the passenger didn't raton. you had to display a political statement, citing the airlines policy. but he claims it's a violation of his freedom of speech. we contacted sparrow de lines for comment when the get but will you know what they had to say to bit more detail. but course more about that slogan, it's called history. let's go brands and become a code for insulting president biden. it started with nascar driver, brandon, browse, they interviewed a few months ago off to wedding a race. the crow behind him instead began chancing and explained to the president, but the reporter can never quite place this happen. thought i was saying,
2:25 pm
let's go brandon. the rest is history, political compensated 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 the beholder. he makes the point that if someone wearing black lives matter math, when people buy medicine, they think it's the dog whistle for communism, for violence. things of this nature was that where it's gonna be asked to remove the mask. obviously not. there's also the other thing that 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, it's not directly probate or, or maybe what if any one person makes it other didn't last. and so what, who is the side? since a trip is a huge problem and this is the land that the 1st amendment is supposed to be. the
2:26 pm
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. a lot south internationals world news attend from moscow with may kevin, and thanks ever so much for checking in. hope your monday is going well with all those driven by dreamers shaped banks. concur. some of those with
2:28 pm
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 c, privatization of the publicly owned mooney light company echoes fights all around the world against neoliberalism. joining us from cleveland is that mad, dennis goosenich, former democratic nominee for the u. s, presidency and author of the division of light and power. dennis, thanks so much for finally being on going underground m, i should just start there 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 nato, a briefing we are on the brink of war in europe, and the biden is preparing thousands of troops to fight awards. russia. i can tell
2:29 pm
you here from american shide, i'm talking you from a neighborhood including ohio and no one around here is thinking or talking about war. people are just trying to live their own lives, get through the pandemic of find a way to survive initial economy. and i think that people are going to pretty typical of most americans. i think our country needs to finally come to a on time with, with russia, resolve the underlying issues are truly, really energy. now, what's interesting is that my book arises at a time that there's a context for control energy markets of oil, liquid natural gas. and anytime you have that kind of, of a struggle, there's always the possibility that people will do whatever they can in order to
2:30 pm
dominant. and so we have to be very careful here in this stage about overreaching and we get the world really is seeking for a way to come to pace and the saber rattling right now. that's going on. i don't think church or any country. well, particularly those in your and i think the united states, mr. brian, mr. burton need to be in constant contact and lower the temperature right now, because i don't think anybody really wants more. i, i can't imagine that anyone thinks that a, there are any winners and structure conflict. i mean, there's literally talk of comparison to the cuban missile crisis. well, you know, it has to be kept in mind that russia troop movements are happening within the russian borders. i think get really needs to be understood and
