[000:00:00;00] a with we are standing together with our nato allies against the potential aggression a tend to shift attention to craig, criticized by lawmakers is the probe, and that is great in from 2020 lockdown parties. find serious fame and still with new cray, no threat of applied invasions ever come from any russian politician. moscow's envoy to the un is clear about attempts to escalate the security situation in the region. ah, other news candidates prime minister brands protest this is supposed to fly racist flags and steel food from the homeless as more than 10000 truckers. of those support rally against no jobs,

no job mandates at the parliament building. plus a fiji. we speak to this guy, a passenger accusers, an airline a violate thing is freedom of speech of resource to remove a space mass because of the antibody. let's go brandon slogan written on it with hello, this is our financial welcome. so we'll do that one. i am from moscow with me, kevin, now we've been a break and use them from the u. k. first of all, to tell you about, came in earlier on the same thing. all signs seem to point to the fact that the government is now likely to scrap vaccine mandates for health work is in england. so for over consultation, according to such a java. but if approved is gonna and it's been hugely controversial. the remove of the unpopular rule imposed in november comes with severe staff shortages in hospitals, tens of thousands of n hfc employees of face losing their jobs. they didn't get their 1st shot. this

week. i talked with journalist and broadcast and the o'clock, we said, boris johnson wants to canceled the measure because of pressure from the public at the moment. clearly people say that the time that this was, the government was bluffing, that they would do you turn near the time. they wanted to try to coerce, draw a bully, and they just started to take their 1st go back to the ins and there would be to, equally of course, we can't divorce it. what's going on in the why political c a? because you know, it's always johnson and under intense pressure. now talk of a vote of no confidence in the government. and he's got to try to really get on side those tory back benches. perhaps 100, a 120 of them to 1st of all, to lift the kobe restrictions, which by large you have on the domestic ones and also to you turn on this policy because right unpopular. so i think it's, it's a bit of both actually and of course has the same time as in the u. k,

the party gates cannot be going from bad to worse for britain's pm. so maybe it could be looking to deflect attention. but it's also shifted folks to russia than in this pose that plan to invade ukraine on that day. and internal prob came to diamond conclusions, forcing apology for the prime minister. personally, i want to say, sorry, mister speaker, i get it. and i will fix the promise to do the decent thing and resign. yeah, of course he won't because he has a mind without saying if there was any on any or not in public life, that he would resign the witnesses. and he law team in the u. k with the latest from london tonight for weeks like government almost head behind the phrase we await the su 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 policies, but the police are looking into 12 of the meanings. 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 that su gray. almost saying there's a lot more than i want to say. but at this point, i simply cannot do so due 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 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. bar johnson, as you just heard the saying, he's sorry, and he will fix it on the government can be trusted, but really the public. all questioning boris johnson how trustworthy the government is. and in fact, a poll suggests that knowing in 10 people, one boris johnson at to resign on the sentiment in westminster, in the house of commons, is no different either many m. p 's, including within ours 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 bravely out of the

moment, what a good time than 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, pers 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. busy forty's, and are other examples of alleged lawbreaking over that period. but as far as pers johnson is concerned, people should be focusing less on that. and what he says is the danger posed by russia at its president vladimir putin today. mrs. b, here we are standing together with our nato allies against the potential aggression vladimir putin. when he wanted not said on the go to install the prime minister as

prime minister, a labor leader who actually published nato, i. 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 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 and barbara. busy johnson, looking at to really try to distract politically from his own words. the russians are less than impressed. they say that this is exactly what that is. an attempt at of she's cation and distraction. and that something which has been 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 the 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 everyone will know that he's a man with a time bomb sitting under him. now tuesday marsan, son, is also scheduled to head out to the ukraine. a for a number of meetings there. he'll be hoping that sir, will mindful be focused on that rather than his own 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 foreign secretary, who's 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 that they, the u. k. government are willing to impose sanctions on russian companies and on russian business men. so all eyes will be on bars. johnson's a trip to the 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, will tomorrow be revealed or latest day, rather, former london, may a ken livingstone, meantime, told us has got nothing in his for you to do with russia supposed evasion of your credit and everything to do with the scandals piling up or on 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 know the league 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 jobs here in this country. and the simple fact is, this is all i think, being ran up by our prime minister barak johnson to distract attention from the

scandal he's involved in that he held always illegal parties at 10 downing street. while the rest of us were only knocked down. and when a prime minister's court lying, it's 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 that boris might be prime minister at the end of this year . then i also told him to rush his envoy to the un earlier, giving more details on what he described as the fake hysteria built up around the ukraine crisis. the supposed to be think of a security council in new york was no threat of a plan division of ukraine has ever been made by any russian politician. if us initiated un security council meeting on ukraine. if another attempt to drive a wedge between moscow and key of the meeting took place and opened with the representative of the united states, i made a number of serious allegations against russia, alleging that they are planning and invasion of the ukraine. that

a large number of russian troops are amassed on the border that rushes on the brink of invading ukraine, violating their sovereignty, heard the russian representative 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 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 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 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 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. so 2 independent journalists, martin summers in the u. k. told me it's telling the ukraine itself is wanting western allies to cool it. president zalinski, who's potentially, or you know,

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 at bridge 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 to the us has got a, 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. i, you know, basically threatening to fight to the last ukrainian something else. next, canada's prime ministers branded more than $10000.00 truckers in their support is rally against vaccine mandates. as racists who still 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. by the way, it's music about him tonight. he says him and his daughters of goat koval from full of other. but meantime, this is footage of sunday's protest in the canadian capital, cold air bitterly cold crowds and vehicles, blocking key roads, none the less around the parliament building, and also were protested braving all that to vent this strong opposition. they say to pandemic restrictions when he saying that we're not against the jobs as such, just be forced by the government to take them while are also a police say it's costing $600000.00 a day to maintain security in the capital during the rallies. the protest corrupted off the government extend to jap mandates for truck drivers, crossing the border with the u. s. those truck,

his se that's threatens vital supply chains at a really tough time with the moment, but to countering back out than the canadian health agency justified the move, citing rising coven cases and hospitalizations. let's take a quick look at how the process of unfolded over the past 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, they want their freedoms store, g, small fringe minority people who are on their way to ottawa are holding unacceptable. views that they are expressing do not represent the views of canadians who have been there for each others

who's overtaken by fear. this is all of the read it, 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. ah, and then there was this for the issue causing clear divisions of the country canada made national broadcast, was therefore quick to point out who's supposedly to blame for 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 contributed lauren chen believes there needs to be much more of a focus on the real problems plaguing counter. 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. 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 at the canadian government has told its people that they do not respect their freedom of choice. the government is coercing you to do something that you may or may not want to do and to be clear. canada is one of the most vaccinated countries on the planet. the vast majority of canadians who are eligible have received both doses. so this is not

a question of canadians denying science or 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. used to know that the convoys of sparring crowds across the oil check these pictures in to us of the all to will new sent it in for a month with a strike of another lives people demanding that covered health rules of scrubs. we're going to keep post them a growing wave of global anti restriction rallies. if you're in

a chip in the conversation as well. check at our site r t dot com. always good to hear from you. this is not america anymore, is how passenger on spirit airlines react when stuff told him to remove his rather not to use your bed to see face miles because it had the anti bite. and let's go brandon slogan on a video of the instance exploded on social media, rocky up around $400000.00 views on tick tock alone. not america anymore. the america anymore. the company here, if i had a b l math on what did it been? okay. what does that mean? like like that or? no. what is that? well, that's 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 has lots of brandon. like is this anybody i don't understand.

well that instant time to the flight from cleveland to time for one of the crew said it was unacceptable for the passengers name adam or doug to display a political statement, citing the lines policy over it, but he claims in response. it's a violation of his freedom of speech. we contacted spirit airlines. the comment will bring in response. we get that slogan coast let's go. brand is become a code for insulting president biden. it started with nascar driver brands and premise they interviewed a few months ago. up to wedding a race, the crowd behind them began chanting and explain to president biden, but this is where it gets confusing and still can't work out. what really happened the reporter covering it, thought she heard, let's go brandon. anyway, history from then on political commented chadwick, more selling as he believes freedom of speech in the us is increasingly under its 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, when people buy medicine,

they think it's the dog whistle for communism, for violence. things of this nature was 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, it's not directly probate or, or maybe what offends one person makes it other person laugh. and so we decide. censorship is a huge problem and this is a 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 our political messaging happened. in this case, it's a very good situation and it doesn't seem to be getting better anytime soon. ah, new in the us government allegedly relocating illegal migrants from southern border

areas to other parts of the country, including new york on secret flights and border patrol. agents was speaking out about the policy, including an angry exchange, sharing what was meant to be a morale boosting visit by the head of home security and the us border control chief and the rate of texas. i was in the policy over a 180000 migrants try to enter the us from mexico in december alone. and over the course of last year, a total of more than $2000000.00 and to the us from the southern border. congressional republicans of urge joe biden to stop the secret migrant flights. we demand you provide congress and all new york is with the current location and status of each illegal immigrant. you have transferred to our state the new york because we represent are entitled to know how you'll failure to address the crisis

. ital southern border continues to impact that communities and day to day lives. we talked about it was a political analyst and radio host, a perkins who thinks a substantial public backlash could put an end to the secret flights. the only thing that can stop this is very strongly expressed, very large public opinion against it. because the more the public is aroused, the more they will make efforts to find out more about what's going on. the more that is learned, the more public opinion will turn against it. and in the end it will cost these people power. but as long as they don't think they are at the point where it will cost them power, they will continue to do it because the gambit of filling america with illegal aliens and then demanding that either we give them the vote or we are racist, is going to work, but it better work fast. another 4 years goes by like this. practically the entire american public will be against it and them, and the democrats,

instead of getting power for life, will lose it or a very long time. so they're in a hurry, and that's why they haven't slowed down, but rather have sped up the process of bringing in thousands of illegal immigrants a day. they intend to change the demographics of american elections and take permanent power this way. the french ambassador tamales been given 72 hours to quit the countries relations between paris and the african nation to tear it further covering it. shall it davinsky for us 72 hours to vacate the country. that is the message to francis ambassador from the maryan authorities. this marking a severe escalation intentions now between paris and bar mako. 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, and this is new to peon,

who basically said that the ruling june to, in molly was out of control. and we also heard from fairlance 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 rushed 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 at trying to keep a lid on jihadist 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 med, any of those who are french in, of course, or, or 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 few weeks we have covered here on our t, the sanctions that have now been imposed on molly. because of the fact that the ruling authorities are not going to hold those elections in the foreseeable future . the

e is also backing those sanctions. now it's also caused tensions that marlene authorities have actually called on russia for aid in terms of training there. so just 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? all right, pretty much an all time high. that announcement that the molly and authorities have given the french ambassador just 72 hours to leave charlotte bowsky the wrapping up this addition of our world news at one i am for moscow. we are not international with me, coven,

i with the team. very good morning. ah ah, the lose

ah ah, ah ah ah i

ah, i'm african or t as in you're watching a special edition of going underground 54 years since the tet offensive. a turning point against us was in the vietnam region that killed $6000000.00 as american forces fought that towards or make the world safer capitalism. in america, the youngest mayor of a major us city was waging his own war against unrestrained corporate power targeting his city of cleveland. his stand against the privatization of the publicly owned mooney light to company echoes fights all around the world against neoliberalism. joining me now from cleveland is that mad dennis goosenich, former democratic nominee for the u. s. presidency in author of the division of light and power. dennis, thanks so much for finally being on going under ground dam. i should just start to by the fact that we're being warned here in london, that vladimir putin might turn the light and power off reading 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
