2:00 pm
video myself, the most that i can learn less. thought ah, what do we do? go to war with the nato block? has someone thought about this? and i asked president potent, so talking about ukraine's potential nato membership. something russia strongly opposes. meantime that britain's prime minister toughened this rhetoric against russia and threatens it, was sanctioned great consequence consequences and a response from the army only. it's not his own, but ukraine's army. no job, no job. ho, way canadian truckers continued to take a stand against corporate mandate. this is gazing what the prime minister there. he's calling me a racist extra. what have i done to deserve that with?
2:01 pm
hello, this is our international welcome to our will do attend from oscar with me. kevin. know it. so 1st president po, to this delivered a stinging rebuke to nato's military backing of ukraine. he noted cab officially still want us to use pentagon support the seeds crimea, not to mention its gross violations in dumbass. because when you might listen carefully to what i say in ukraine's own doctrinal documents, it is written that they plan to return crimea, including by military means. that is not what they say publicly. imagine for yourself that ukraine, a nato member filled with weaponry and begins and operation in crimea. not to mention the best that is silver in russian territory. for us in this sense, the question is closed. what do we do? go to war with the nato block, has someone thought about this?
2:02 pm
it seemed not. yeah, there's a lot of serious stuff talked about today. don't called us intake. so i don't know what more to put enough to say. while vladimir putin definitely had some strong words for the west of that press conference, he flat out accused washington and nato of deceiving russia with their refusal to stop the military alliance from further eastward expansion into countries, specifically ukraine and georgia. this is something that nato actually promised to the soviet union, back in 1990. they promised that the, that the military alliance would not move an inch eastward of the odor river in europe actually, and couldn't specifically pointed out that there's nothing actually in nato's charter that concerns a sort of open door policy that a lot of western officials have been pointing to with relation to potential nato expansion and said that it's, the charter only says that the alliance can accept new countries. maybe if all of the actual member countries agree to this. now, according to putting this behavior,
2:03 pm
also shows that washington is not actually interested in the defense of ukraine or security. they're actually interested more so in putting a lid on russia's growth. so it just, it seems to me the united states is not so much concerned about the security of ukraine, about holding back the development of russia. ukraine itself is simply a tool to achieve this goal. now at another point in that press conference, put and extrapolated on what he said there, he said basically that can be achieved. one of 2 ways, dragging russia into an armed conflict or driving a wedge between itself and the european allies. and then there's another big conversation to mr. blink and mr. leverett, earlier on saying, basically the same thing on the phone. yeah, that's true. this all comes really shortly after they had this conversation over the phone where they were discussing washington's rejection of moscow's proposals for security guarantees. following that phone call lab rob immediately sent letters to all of the foreign ministries of the member states of the organization for
2:04 pm
security and cooperation in europe. he basically called out the united states for its selective interpretation of specifically the estoppel ball and astonished declarations of that organization that i just mentioned. they are, these declarations basically defined the boundaries within which sovereign nations can choose what military alliance they want to be. a part of these documents clearly state that any sovereign nation can, of course, join a military alliance that it wants to join. and of course, us loves this flaws. but what the russian foreign minister is pointing to in this letter is that washington is deciding not to look at another no less important clause in these documents. and that is that a country cannot join the military alliance if it impedes with the national security of another sovereign nation. so let's take a listen to what live, rob said, to the, so to get him to the principle of indivisibility is not something we will give up on. if we insist on an honest conversation and on an honest explanation of why the
2:05 pm
west does not want to fulfill its obligations, wants to fulfill them. so we selectively in its favor. when you begin less, you. now that comes just about a week after washington officially sent its response to moscow's proposals for security guarantees rejecting them the security guarantees moscow proposed back in mid december. so it was a while after they proposed that they received this response and it's the 2 key proposals that were that are that were concerned with here are like i said, the eastward expansion of nato. and to specifically ukraine in georgia. but also the deployment of offensive weapons into europe that could possibly strike russia. and this is all, you know, this is relevant because it's all after months of nato officials, western officials, the media saying that russia is planning some sort of a vague invasion of ukraine. that their military exercises on their own territory is somehow threatening to ukraine and moscow as time and time again said there's
2:06 pm
nothing threatening going on here and we're not planning an invasion of ukraine. so you know, we have to see diplomacy develops here. but so far, what we have heard is that you foreign policy chief has already discuss rushes letter with represented washington and nato. so we'll see how it will still kind of diplomacy. i'm pretty sure because the british got involved to know the continue to get involved in their own talk to abuse about that next bar. as johnson on a trip to ukraine. well, further to the pope to mr. put him pointing out the west doesn't care about ukraine over in kiev. at the same time. britain's pm was sensing there. you are, was hinting that the russian evasion would be for the last ukranian. again, the rhetoric really ramping up today. let's get our latest on the london corresponding shot of his gosh, he's only like a shot here. what was the toner that talks with the bars, johnson and blood image landscape? well versed johnson certainly ramping up the rhetoric today as saying that
2:07 pm
basically any escalation from russia would be a political humanitarian, aminet, trim mistake and disaster threatening russia with strong military might boots on the ground, only not british troops on the ground because apparently no western or government really wants to get that involved to bring the price is too close to home. but speaking, kevin a joint conference with the president of ukraine bars. johnson was also threatening russia saying that a packet of sanctions was right there at the ready should any russian military personnel step even a tow cap into foreign territory. they would be ready to lump russia with these sanctions. but also in terms of this military might think very specific about the ukranian army, but also appealing to the russian public. to see the most useful thing we can do is get over to the russian public to 2 citizens in
2:08 pm
russia. thinking about this possibility, the reality that the ukranian army will fight and route to other thousands of men and women on roams in ukraine. they will put up a very, very fierce and bloody resistance light. i think that parents, mothers in russia should reflect on that craft my hope very much good, a prison putin. i stepped back. well, what we've learned from bar strokes in this trip to care this is almost running away from issues right. in the heart of a westminster, at home falling all of these party gates scoundrels off the scandals that have wrapped it in westminster, but quite embarrassingly for the prime minister bar. as johnson. the very 1st question addressed to him in kiev was all about the park gate scandal and golfing westminster, which surprised surprise, he's somewhat ignored. instead,
2:09 pm
he tried to focus on d escalating tensions on the eastern border, although some would argue he's not doing a very good job of that either because he's still yet to have a conversation with loving the poor. and even though he was supposed to have it much earlier on in the week, it's still been postpone, it still hasn't happened. and the fact that both children haven't even picked up the phone is being branded as a choke embarrassing and pathetic by m. p. 's here in westminster, who thinks he's putting issues at home above a serious crisis. amid a dangerous crisis threatening peace in europe, a vital diplomatic opportunity has been missed. his boris johnson scrambles to hold on to his job. these are the real world consequences of a distracted prime minister, unfit for office, running a government in disarray. a pathetic embarrassment. boris johnson says he's helping with a diplomatic situation in russia and ukraine. he has no credibility,
2:10 pm
no one trusted him. the best thing he could do to help would be to resign. while it comes, as the latest polls suggest that 9 and 10 people here in the u. k. don't think bars, johnson is fit to run the country. it also comes as his approval ratings are really, really low at the moment, just 22 percent. so it seems like he wants to move on from the su gray report and all of its findings on the backlash to it as quick as possible. so he, the ukraine, but he is without the foreign secretary liz trust. she's actually tested positive even though she was supposed to be assisting him on his travels. however, before she tested positive, she took to the house of commons, upping the ante as well with that robust rhetoric and threatening russia with the sanctions. however, unfortunately for her, she was met with cheers and laughter from across the house. as it seems, many m p 's can't really take the government seriously. that is in and around the kremlin will have nowhere to hide. we will make sure that those who share
2:11 pm
responsibility for the kremlin aggressive d, stabilizing action will share in bearing a heavy pulse. and today, mrs. b o, 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 may but leader who actually published may turn with, well, big talk that from barnes johnson, the prime minister describing potential aggression of vladimir putin. but all of this tough talk many m p 's here in the u. k. simply say it's a quite a distraction and deflection from what exactly is happening in westminster and what exactly the government has been up to during the pandemic. this don't just m p, 's know the public that have that opinion. but indeed, british media and journalism in general is coming out with some pretty tough
2:12 pm
headlines against the prime minister boris johnson saying it's only a matter of time till he is out that his roman empire is falling. and even indeed, that his government is the worst in history. what i will say to present it is, i think we really want to step back from the brain, russian, someone they bring the end of the party british from is the birth johnson. on the brink of this chorus, on the brink, labor store, my head in late, is told off the party shock a guide to party gate incredibly stupid scandal make up for his job. the job through grace is down the street behavior is difficult to justify florence johnson . so we can, but part time bob to influence ukraine crisis defense chief ruled yes. want your own bring prime in or i got to breaking news to let you to now an active
2:13 pm
shooter situation, been reported, unfolding at a college in the state of virginia. the u. s. the private bridgewater facilities posted on social media, but as shooting on campus, an order to shelter in place that college ad. so police are at the scene. we're bringing more developing story, of course, as we get it took the developing stories, one that so really kicked off across the we can. the only part of this week of falling was happening with the, the canadian protesting canadian truck. as of now blocked part of the u. s. border in the province of alberta. as part of the rally against cobit vaccine mandates for drivers, the prime minister reported he fled. the capital also says he's got coven along with his 2 daughters as thousands of truckers and their supporters descended on the city is now pulled fuel on the fire. he's branded these protest is a mob of racists who steal food from the homeless. he said, 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.
2:14 pm
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, the prime minister dressed up in racist costumes. so many times he can't remember them all. doesn't mean every single liberal is a racist. i do respect that member. i just wish his government would respect the thousands of people who are fighting for their livelihoods right now here who are trying to do the best to get this country back on track. you know, we spoke to, to canadian shorter stephen whitman, who says the government and his opinions dividing the nation to serve his own goals . he's called me a racist his extremist. what have i done to deserve that?
2:15 pm
my government is supposed to have my back. when you're in trouble and you need to help your government is supposed to be there for you. they're not supposed to drag you down. and what i've seen over the past 2 years, it's been devastating as breaks. it breaks my heart because my government supposed to have my back. i work hard and one day, you know, i was hero and now i'm, i'm a racist and an extremist and it hurts. it hurts so much that i can't even put it into words. it makes me not want to be a canadian anymore. it further puts strain on, on the system of almost $16000.00 more drivers, which is going to drive the prices up. and it's infuriating that he is dividing a nation. he's it dividing his voters so that he can push an initiative to be popular on the world stage. the movement right now, it is bull my mind as a truck driver, i've been following it almost every hour,
2:16 pm
watching the the numbers roll and the support grow and it is so heart warming. it's so emotional to see the support from around the world. and it's growing, i mean it's growing and it's growing so fast, it's taken a life of its own. and it's so wonderful to watch. so latest in video shows truck is maintaining the blockade of the border as they continue to demand the vaccine mandates be scrapped. it follows mondays rally in the capital alta. i spoke to web, the resident tracy rose gra, who was among the crabs, where we have the prime minister who is not being extremely advisor or arch downs and math 8. now very language, i guess people who are very small a this either for that to go back firing because there
2:17 pm
was no longer divide by longer just the fact that the fact we want to read all of this and the next slide come to 17 post the saudi led coalition targeted civilian buildings in the middle of residential neighborhoods, and they get many capital in the latest monday night. according to local media. it comes, as condemnation continues to grow, the saudi led air raid on a yet many prison that caused the highest civilian casualties. in years, a correspondent daniel hawkins reports. it's one of the deadliest single airstrikes in yemen. civil war. starting out even among dozens of such incidents, with the red cross condemning it as the worst incident of civilian casualties in 3 years. and i've heard a lot about her since we didn't have any information that there would be an attack, and we only heard the sound of the strike. i heard it when i was at home. i went out and entered the jail though i saw body parts everywhere. oh,
2:18 pm
i did. a lot of us. i heard groans and screams. some prisoners were clinging to the walls. i shined a flashlight and saw a huge number of people. the bodies of some of them were torn apart, others crawled on their stomachs. some tried to get up and walk. others were locked inside the building. when there were 3 strikes, the 1st blast hit the building on the east side from the side of my house. then to strike came on the western side of the live in casualty estimates in the heathy run detention facility, very from 80 to over a 100, with hundreds more injured prisons had been here before. an air raid in 2019 kill dozens as have wedding parties, hospitals and schools. officials from the saudi led coalition denied at responsibility for the strike, then pledged to investigate amnesty international reports on the incident as well as witness accounts on the ground. point to an all too familiar picture. a u. s. manufactured and supplied bomb, launched by coalition aircraft. go aquila,
2:19 pm
you assign us forces attack to back a prison and city of santa using smart bombs sense that these bombs are used against ground targets and heavily fortified objects again at the span. bombs have been used earlier. why these are american bombs, as they are used by the u. s. navy and air force, as well as the saudi arabian air force. images of the shocking aftermath of hundreds of strikes had been tragically consistent throughout more than 7 years of bloody conflict. and n g o z have repeatedly called out a weapon sales for the region as a key factor in the worse and crisis heretic images that have trickles out of yemen or jarring reminder of who is paying the terrible price for western states, lucrative sales to saudi arabia and its coalition allies. the one thing as consistent as the stream of appalling images from yemen has been us policy on arm sale to saudi arabia and its allies. 3 administrations, both democrat and republican,
2:20 pm
have completed billions in weapons deals. while the ball in yemen has raged, and walled from enthusiasm for alms deals with saudi princes was well known. there was hope the bottom administration would be different given, but now prisoners criticism of saudi arabia on the campaign trail and pledges to tone down support. this war has to end. and to underscore our commitment, where any all american support for offensive operations in the war in yemen, including relevant arms sales. there is a very important distinction between our commitment to not engage and not support offensive activities and operations in yemen, including to the provision of offensive weapons. and the legitimate needs of the king of saudi arabia, in terms of its own defense of the united states, will continue its diplomatic outreach and engage with various stakeholders. reality
2:21 pm
has been different the spot, the efforts of some sentences, the blog sales weaponry has poured into saudi arabia and billions of dollars into the accounts of us. all the manufacturers, mounting civilian casualties have been no obstacle deciding new deals the latest just months ago. and as n g o z and groups of certain senators and congressmen call for a change in policy, even decrying the arm sales is a violation of us laws. it seems for now, business will take precedence. wireless very assurances of change and the stream of distressing images from yemen. well, the weapons which are being used in the middle east have been quite a very long time given by the american. so nothing new because the biggest weapons manufacturer, right now in the world in the united states, they will continue to do this. they will need to sell because the foreign policy of
2:22 pm
the states is big paid by the military industrial complex for the money that noise and the but i am real live right now. but well, it is once again a huge, really beneficial and profitable business. why does exclude this is the sales that have taken place between america and america? this has got a little chatter tonight. comedian and tv personnel will be goldberg in hot water. she's apologize for saying the hollow coast was not about race, but as a conflict between white people, she made the claim on top per t. v. show the view immediately sparking a furious backlash. you're going to do this, then let's be truthful about it because the holocaust isn't about race. no, no, it's not about you know, all the goldberg,
2:23 pm
the holocaust was about to not to systematic annihilation of the jewish people who they deemed to be an inferior race. that he humanized them and use this racist propaganda to justify fluttering 6000000 jews. holocaust distortion is dangerous anti semitism is a cancer and a poison that is increasingly excused in our culture and television and permeates basis. that should shock us all. racism was central to nazi ideology. jews were not defined by religion, but by race, nazi, racist beliefs, fuel, genocide and mass murder. ma shellman, the editor of history central dot com, spoke to his memory is fading of what the holocaust was really like in the united states. particularly right now jews is sort of considered white people part of the establishment at least amongst the far left and amongst some parts of the american community. and that's what she was. so referring to the mid statement that the holocaust is, 2 white groups killing each other so to speak. one white group calling another
2:24 pm
white group and that's something that way too many americans, particularly on the far left have accepted. i think we really, we really a situation where the holocaust is fading into history and it's very hard as someone to teach us. history is very hard to get people a interested in history and be most importantly to understand history, to put things into context and way too often. we take a certain event and take a totally out of context. and kind of context was really the key to understanding our past and probably understanding our future as well. ah, year, 3 days last night, the very unique here bay jim lympics of buffalo. the course by remarkably strict cobra rules and threats of west and boy cops along the way. well either which way or lexia jeff ski is they go through some pretty i watering test to be squeamish, but those p c are things so they put a small of, you know, good luck with this. everything seems to be ready. the measures have been implemented by the authorities. well, i can describe them as relatively strict. i mean,
2:25 pm
you have to wear masks at all times, all arrival here at waging airport. it seemed that everything was too complicated. you had to fill in a lot of forms. you have to fill in a health declaration form a customer declaration format, of course, take a b, c. and i've tried bcr tests in many parts of the world, but this one was something really, really difficult. and if you're not, if you're faint of heart, do not watch this because all my god that felt really, really awkward the me. but despite all that, everything was relatively quick and it took us literally 90 minutes to get from the, from the going into the hotel to those who covered the 2008 summer olympic games in beijing. all this seems very familiar because these are the same facilities that we use in 2008. now they have been re shave 3 model for the winter games. plus, of course, couple of new venues. transportation seems to be working. as a clock,
2:26 pm
we take buses from our hotel to the venues. one thing important to know that we have to exist in a bubble, a so called bubble. it's like an echo system here in beijing, right? we can only stay inside the hotel and move between the hotels and the venues. we cannot even go out into the city even to go to a grocery store or anything. we just have to stay within the hotel. the doors slammed, shut the street basically empty. that is very unlikely side for those who know of aging, well, there are no traffic jams whatsoever inside the venues inside the let's say the press center, which is just behind me. everything is pretty much automated. even food and drinks are served by robotic arm. despite all these. anti corbet meshes the ra, confirm, cases of covered with the flying in delegation from pretty much everywhere. russia, sweden, members of different national teams,
2:27 pm
have also been tested positive. if you are tested positive, you are taken straight from the hotel to a designated self isolation hotel where you have to stay until you get to negative bcr test. fortunately, i might be c r test was negative, and i am able to actually see the venues and i will of course, keep you posted from beijing on everything happening here, including the political side of the story here at aging. 2022 games. alexio's f t r t reporting from aging said it wasn't for the faint houses. now, shop lifting epidemic is said to be spreading throat new york. a video posted on line by acts at micro rappaport quickly went viral. laughter apparently showed him . i brazenly walking out of a man out in store with bugs for the stolen goods. it said to be seen big increasingly repeated to through the city. more on it to night from kellum open. shocking videos of brazen thieves running out of stores with apparently stolen goods has highlighted the rise in shop lifting in new york.
2:28 pm
ready new york city's police department says there is a high of retail crime recently. some say it's a defun, the police atmosphere, combined with a prosecutor's soft on crime approach, as well as the economic fall out of the pandemic. this is what the new york city police department chief of crime control strategies had to say on it. we have over 1700 individuals over the past year that have been arrested for 3 or more shoplifting arrests. when you look at those individuals, a very small percentage are actually incarcerated right now today. now what scary about the new wave of shoplifting is often the people who do it, aren't sneaky at all. it happens in broad daylight right in front of people's faces without security guards, clerks are powerless to stop them. actor michael rapid for it was shocked about
2:29 pm
what he saw at a retail store in manhattan. i can't believe i am seeing this. this guy just filled his 2 bags up with everything and right, 8 right here, anadia from 1st avenue. he's walking down the street is gucci. i was watching him the whole time. a lot of corner drug store is of actually had to close down if people are just taking things off the shelf. stores aren't exactly profitable. we decided to ask new yorkers what they think about all this. i think is horrible. it makes me nervous and feel very unsafe. i think it's terrible. and i think it's a situation because of the pandemic. the pandemic has changed. the world is can't carry a little bit because, you know, thinking that, oh, the goods is though the over and it's become a truly disturbing situation. so catastrophic that shoppers and even law enforcement aren't surprised when see it happening anymore. busy caleb martin, r t new york. but the k no there. there's been an abrupt reversal to
2:30 pm
a controversial really controversial covered policy. the government says now it's going to try and scrap the vaccine monday for health work as in england, as it grapples with severe hospital stop shortages. while vaccinations remain our very best line of defense against code 19, i believe that it is no longer proportionate to require vaccination as a condition of deployment through spectrum. well that policy, initially spa, massive outrages about 80000 that h. s. work is still on vaccinated. an estimated 40000 stuff already quit over the policy since november. i spoke to nurse the me, bennett. she believes the mandated infringe personal choices. it was for me and i'm quite begging just, you know, taking away the choice for the health care worker name. what's the resistance around the decision to actually make the faxing mandatory for health care and professional? starting to look at some of the options. it's important that i keep up to date with
2:31 pm
the changing information.
