4:00 pm
to join us in the depth of or remain in the shallows. a day to speak go. we are standing together with our nato allies against the potential aggression vladimir putin. tonight, the bars. johnson's attempt to shift attention to you. crazy, criticized by lawmakers as the probably the downing street in from us 2020 look. that part of the theory is failing and staying with you cray. no threat of a planned invasions ever come from any russian politician moscow's envoy to the un, clear about attendance to escalate this acute situation in the region. we're going to cover all that good stuff elsewhere. keep an eye on this to kind of as prime minister brands protests as those who fly racist flag and steal food from the homeless as more than 10000 truckers and their support is rally against no job,
4:01 pm
no job mandate at the bottom of building. we're going to be hearing from one of the activists at the heart of the mass demonstrations. we've never seen anything like that before. either ordinary canadian, or simply tired of the government telling us how we are open live our lives. a local brandon is there to picking the see also the story about a passenger accusing spirit. airlines of violating is freedom of speech after us to remove that, whether not be face mouth because of the anti bye. let's go. brandon slow. been written on it again. we'll be hearing about that with just in time. welcome. this is our financials. world news that just past midnight. moscow time with me, kevin at 1st and that developing story in from the u. k. the government no says
4:02 pm
it's going to scrap vaccine mandates for health work is in england. the rule of the unpopular rule imposed november comes amid severe stuff shortages of co still in hospitals. tens of thousands of in h s employees would have faced losing their jobs if they didn't get their 1st shot this week, or the course. so we're going to get more on that in just a minute. but of course it's the same time as in the u. k, the party gave scandals going from bad to worse for britain's pay and could be tied in, so may be looking to deflect attention. you could ask yourself quite reasonably, boris johnson shifted focus to russia and is supposed to come to ukraine tomorrow. he's heading east and put a phone call in as well to president posted. personally, i want to say sorry, mister speaker. i get it and i will fix the promise to should do the decent thing and resign. yeah. of course he won't because he has a mind without saying any on any or not in public life
4:03 pm
that he would resign the witness. and he law was so great, paul to gate report was very redone to the cause because as a parallel, ongoing police investigation at the moment when the okay. with the latest on it from london for weeks like government, almost head behind the phrase, we await the sou 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 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 were many failures of leadership as well. but
4:04 pm
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. party were allegedly a 100 people were invited. boris johnson's birthday party and june 19th. and of course, the parties what happened allegedly happened as the night before prince philip's funeral. now, su bray says the government needs to address this immediately and does not need to wait for the police investigation bar. it's johnson. i just heard the saying, he's sorry. and he will fix it on the government can be trusted,
4:05 pm
but really the public. all questioning virus, johnson how trustworthy the government isn't. in fact, 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 either many m. p 's, including within johnson's own party, want to see paris johnson walk out of number 10. forget, 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, russia. let's talk about that with you. he said, what's happening on that side of it? well, bars, johnston is fighting for his political future at home, but seems to be concerned with perhaps focusing minds elsewhere. now, he did face a very raucous house of commons, who were 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 only 2 years now. and the
4:06 pm
parties and the 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 president vladimir putin 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 business for. now, all of this comes off to the u. k. his sense of military forces to ostensibly, as they would say, train 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 vladimir putin book that was initially pushed back to the evening. it's now going to be held tuesday, we understand,
4:07 pm
and robert johnson 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 mimicked 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 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, tuesday bar assumption is also scheduled to head out to the ukraine a for a number of meetings of their he'll be hoping that sir, will mindful be focused on that rather than some political precious to that. and as
4:08 pm
far as secretary liz trust has been speaking in the house of commons, tough talking words really from the foreign 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, the vein u. k. government are willing to impose sanctions on russian companies and on russian businessmen. so all eyes will be on bars. johnson's a trip to ukraine fan of course, that key phone call with vladimir putin to see whether actually the prime minister more concerned dialogue or with ratcheting up tensions for melinda mckay. livingston chip, tin as well. he told his salia in his view. it's got nothing to do with russia, supposed evasion of ukraine and everything to do with the scandals. piling up around johnston 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 intention of puting if you low the lead of ukraine is telling the west to sort of
4:09 pm
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 jobs here in this country. and the simple fact is, this is all i think being ran tough 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 minister's court, lying in the end of their career. and the simple fact is, the poll ratings, boris johnson 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 and rushes envoy to the you and gave more details on the fake hysteria built up around the ukraine crisis to the special meeting of the security council earlier
4:10 pm
. the loop was no threats of a plan division of ukraine has ever been made by any russian politician us initiated un security council meeting on ukraine. if 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 sovereignty, heard the russian representative 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 toll 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
4:11 pm
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, 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 issue. russia
4:12 pm
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. i spoke to independent jonas martin summers earlier to he told me it's telling the ukraine itself is warding western allies to cool. it wasn't zalinski who's potentially urge, you know, somebody who could negotiate about this is a saying to his western allies and plot and patrons. you know, you're not helping us here. now you'd have thought that that might make people want 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. he told me to the us was good, you know, basically does not want a peaceful resolution of this crisis. it wants to drive home so that they can bring sanctions to bear on russia as part of general geo political contest with the russian federation of, you know,
4:13 pm
basically threatening to flight to the last ukrainian if you've been following this story next, this is not america anymore. is how a passenger in spirit a lunch reacted when staff told him to remove his face miles because it had the antibody. let's go brandon slogan on it. video of that instance exploded of social media. rocca param, folder 1000 views on tick tock alone. not america anymore. the america anymore, because if i had a b, l math guy, what did it been? ok, 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? is this massive home? i just, i can't, we are massive. has lots of brandon. like is this anybody? i don't understand. all right, well the incident happened on the flight from cleveland to tampa. one of the crew said it was unacceptable for the passenger, adam or donia to display
4:14 pm
a political statement, citing the airline this policy. it's terms a carriage, but he claims it's a violation of his freedom of speech. we contacted spirit airlines comments so far, nothing but bit more about that slow. good. let's remind ourselves about the, let's go brandon slogan. what is become a code? a code for insulting president biden it started when the nascar driver random brown was being interviewed a few months ago after winning a race. the crowd behind it began chanting the lease. if the president but the report and i get a bit mystified, has happened. i thought they were saying, let's go brandon, but of course the rest is history telling where we can go. let's go to adam raton. yeah, he's a spread airlines passenger from cleveland, ohio, joining us on the line now. who did mosque? what a great, but a sparkly tech that is a mcdonald. felt signal up go. yeah, very nice, but no seriously in your own words, what happened here? so as i was boarding the flight to clear was the tampa. you know, the, the store,
4:15 pm
the flight attendant said you know, that i needed to take it off or need. ready it, you know, basically get off the plane. i, i initially, you know, want to do it, but then i, i don't want to get off the plane. i wanted to go this from friendly and i complied . and when i got in, when i tried to get answers, what have you recorded? and when i talked the supervisor. ready was okay. yeah, because when you buy a ticket you can buy an a contract, you every carrier has these terms of coverage, the conditions on what you can and can't do on their idea is, well if you don't like it, you can't fly with this. what you think about the way you embrace of their terms and conditions? i mean, i wasn't in breach of their terms and conditions in my opinion, because anybody can, you know where, what they, why it wasn't, it wasn't profanity. it's controversial. oh my lord. it had
4:16 pm
a lot of support this that's go brandon thing, but there's a lot of controversy beyond it too. she kind of could have seen that coming. plus, of course it was sparkling and flushing at the same time. it was really starting out what. yeah, it's pretty, it's pretty notable it's, it's not that you can see it. it's pretty notable, but the fact that i had the shirt that said, let's go brandon and the hat and everything else. she didn't tell me to change my shirt. she didn't tell me to change my shoes. she didn't come to my house. well, so what were you trying to make a point that were passengers offended any way around you? i mean, it was not my responsibility there that are. it's not my responsibility to. passengers, if my right that i should be able to wear what i want if i think there were you know, i. busy think only she was offended and that's the problem happened. yeah,
4:17 pm
but i suppose there's a limit to what you can, where you say can, where is the will. of course, you can, you know, you could where it's going to and they could. so for instance, you know, people would get offended, wouldn't that you've got to pay that in mind. we're traveling, it's just good say suppose isn't it? of course, but i feel that in the censorship is on one side. so like, i think, i think if, if i were to have like a black life matter, you know, mask or anything like that. i think she would be okay with it. and that's, that's the point i was trying to make. and that's why i said my name was brandon because it's the point of it was not offensive. it did not. you know, i didn't say anything bad and it just said, let's go brandon. so in my opinion, i knew people fly airlines every single day with that they, you know, that either proton are providing or whatever. and they should just keep their political mind to themselves. i mean, they have long days they, they think they're doing the right thing. let's not particularly pick on a she may have told choosing the right thing, whatever. this is a bigger issue, but freedom of speech and stuff like that,
4:18 pm
by the way. what happened when you actually kicked off up later eventually back on of lost track actually. so when that when i 1st got on, i didn't, i didn't start recording. at 1st she, she saw the scroll, the life that she's, but all, it was cool. you know, it was nice. what is, what is the say? and i said let's, it says, let's go brandon, and 1st to continue, you know, and then just to make sure that there was a focus on my and when she mascot or put another, you know, turn it off, put another mask on. and so i comply. i wore the mask, the blue one that she gave me the whole flight and then as i was getting off the fly, i wore the lighting up mask again and i tried to get answers. and when i tried to talk to her and explain why i needed to take it off, you got mad and she told me to call security and i need to leave the play playing immediately. okay, wow. all right, well let's say we've osbourne and i suppose it will comment on this is to get boxes
4:19 pm
for let us know what they say. but for now and tony. thanks kevin. i'm telling you part of the story that i don't with all of the spirit airlines passenger from cleveland, ohio you're talking to is from have a nice day. thank you. you too now else talk to nurse naomi bennett. why is that? well, because we go back to our breaking news story that develope story coming from the u . k. this evening. the government know says it's going to scrap vaccine mandates for health work is in england. the removal of the popular rule imposed in november comes amid severe stuff shortages and hospitals. tens of thousands of employees face losing their jobs. of course, if they didn't get their 1st shot this week, it all has to be done by april. naomi bennett, often on this program, nice to see against night. so hello. it's kevin, i will talk to you live on the program. so after defending it for so long was hampton, the government could defend it, no longer looks like the government will no longer force health work has to be vaccinated. the big question is, why tonight was a change of medical advice from the scientist. was it
4:20 pm
a worry about maybe losing tens of thousands the health care workers of time with the need of the most still, or was it a fair? it may be some awful public backlash. the pm's already reading from the bit of a party gate to report the only bit that's been released over the redacted version, which we start here and i know me tonight. yeah, i think it's a bit of everything really, but it was, it was, it was bordering on quite dangerous you know, taken away the choice for the health care work. busy so hopefully now you know, may catch on. yeah, but of course it still doesn't lay the face of people with that. we've covered this before suppressed immune systems that were in the hospital anyway, the rail of got signals. maybe they got cancer that particularly a susceptible to getting covered. they going to worry if they all, it's like getting on a plane. you want to know it's been plans as best you can you want to know every wearing mask. you want to know everyone's taken precautions to protect you. what about these patients? so they're still going to be thinking, well, heck, i'm still worried. yeah, i've been every other options united, correct?
4:21 pm
p, p. there's lots of risk assessments that can be carried out, you know, prior to those patients coming in. so the bill to protect and safe, not only the patient, also the health care work is because it wasn't mandatory for visitors to have the same. so, you know, it was lots of, you know, there's lots resistance around the decision to actually make the faxing mandatory for health care professionals. i think it's important to look at some of the options. and it's the idea that these guys, your colleagues who haven't had the vaccination will actually be working face to face with patients or is that, or is there no bar, i think, gives a context around it. you know, we do have, you know, reliable testing. and we also have p p which protects the patients though, also good handle id and place with distance in i think it's important. and also i
4:22 pm
heard recently that the striking is, know as it was when we 1st had coven. so that's good news in, you know, making the decision. i think it's important that they look at the, the new emerging science and the government. i previously insist that the science was saying that this vaccine monday was the right policy. so as you saying that maybe the science is changed, may be the, i mean it's still a killer, but the worry is dying down a bit. you think? yeah, it seems to be, you know, things are being more now. you know, so it looks like things, you know, we just got the coming out of the me as we want new it, which is great news. so i think it's important as i keep up to date with the changing information because that's most important. it's not, it's not ideal to target a certain set of you know, what the workforce, you know what the please could have applied to, but you know, to, to specifically have health care work is lisa,
4:23 pm
i'm really pleased that they review the situation. no say rebellious thanks. been all along with us. explain your side of the can i have a very good evening. thank you. canada prime list is branded more than $10000.00 truckers and the support is running against vaccine mandates as racist 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 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 camp. lucille scale of it . coal there to crowds and vehicles lock and key roads around the palm of building an all to a protest as braving as extreme whether to vent their opposition to pandemic
4:24 pm
restrictions. many saying that not against the jobs just being forced by the government to have them. when active is told to a cert from the rally will also says it's costing $600000.00 a day to maintain security in the capital during the rallies, the protest corrupted off to the government. a extended job mandates for truck drivers crossing the border with the u. s. the truck has say that frightens threatens vital supply chains, but the canadian health agency justified the move. so i think rising health cases of covet and hospitalisation. let's take a quick look at how the process unfolded over the last few weeks. it's not about the vaccine itself, it's about demanding, and the freedom to choose. that is what these ordinary hardworking canadians are here. they want,
4:25 pm
they want their freedoms from 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, itself is overtaken by fear. this convoy is all about read. it not only with a truck driver, it's actually for every single person you mean buddy down the road and doesn't matter. it's all about your choice. ah. so with issue closing clay divisions in the country counted as my national broadcast was quick to point out who supposedly to blame for the unrest just may be concerned that russian actors could be continuing to fuel things as this as this protest grows. but
4:26 pm
perhaps even instigating it from, from the outset. ouch. political commentator, nazi contributed. lauren shen believes that needs to be more focus actually on the real problems plaguing kind of draw at the moment. 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, it cannot travel by plane train or ferry, and that includes just even domestically. and there 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.
4:27 pm
the government is coercing you to do something that you may or may not want to do and to be clear. canada is one of the most vaccinated countries on the planet. the vast majority of canadians who are eligible have received both those to so this is not a question of canadians denying science or wanting to put each other's hell their wrists, or however opponents might want to spin it. it's a very different story. when you tell someone that regardless of their medical status, 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 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,
4:28 pm
and that is exactly what you're seeing on the streets of auto right now. we'll let congress who's we spreading tuned. sparring crowds across the whoa. the footage im from australia level. and so people demonte the covert health rules of scratch. okay, opposed to the course on the growing wave of global, unto restriction rallies, auto don't. com as well face for you can have, you'll soon all are stories. but for now, as i will these at midnight from moscow with me, kevin, i mean thanks for watching this addition the and the very good morning to what happened. i make no, certainly no borders line to nationalities and new fresh as a merge. we don't have with the we don't to look vaccine whole world leads to take action and be ready. people are judgment,
4:29 pm
common crisis with we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great to response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together with oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation for community. are you going the right way? or are you being led somewhere? which direction? what is true?
4:30 pm
what is faith in the world corrupted you need to descend. ah, so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah, ah! traveling to the city has taken mel, dude in his family, several hours with him and his wife and son, and 2 daughters, 9 year old lately. and they hood and she is full after the long, bumpy, and dusty road. they're all tired but they have little choice. they couldn't find any buyers in the village church with fish.
