ah, a with what do we do? go to war with the nato block? has someone thought about this? what image 13, expressed as concerns about ukraine's potential nato membership is a direct threat the russian national security. meanwhile, the british pm tough and this rhetoric against russia and threats and sanctions, grave consequences, and a response from the army. just not britain, ukraine, and no job, no job, no way. canadian truckers continue to take a stand against coven monday, and the scathing words of the prime minister. he's called me a racist extra

a from las go to the world. this is our international. i'm peter scott. and these are the top stories it to a moscow time. russian president vladimir putin has delivered a stinging rebuke against nato's military backing of ukraine, wanting of dire consequences from that strategy. push this 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?

it seems not. while bodamer potent 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 put, and specifically pointed out that there is 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 here and said that it's the charter only says that the alliance can accept new countries. maybe if all of the actual member countries agreed of this. now, according to put in this behavior 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 seems to me the united states is not so much concerned about the security of ukraine as 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 its 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 security and cooperation in europe. he basically called out the united states for its selective interpretation of specifically the estoppel 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 wants to join. and of course, us love. this was 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 look what live, rob said, the tickets you look at the principle of indivisibility is not something we will give up on. we insist on an honest conversation and on an honest explanation of why the west does not want to fulfill its obligations, wants to fulfill them. so we selectively in its favor. and now that comes just

about a week after washington officially sent its response to moscow's proposals. for security guarantees rejecting them these security guarantees moscow proposed back in mid december. so was while after they proposed that they received this response . and it's the 2 key proposals that we're, that are, that we're 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 nothing threatening going on here and we're not planning an invasion of ukraine. so, you know, we have to see how the diplomacy develops here. but so far,

what we have heard is that a foreign policy chief has already discussed russia's letter with representative washington and nato. so we'll see how it developed. well, we spoke with political analyst nicholas culverson journalist, daniel lazar who said that us policy over ukraine is dividing europe. as many countries on the continent is simply no longer willing to follow washington's lead . the us will never forgive total for, for taking over the crimea, or for in any way supporting the rebellion and don, that's going to have or opposing us plans to take over the ukraine as a whole. and to install the nato client state on the russian border. the european union is definitely in quite of an awkward situation. it has been used to following everything that is coming out of washington. and it has been paying by the american playbook since practically a conception. and now we've seen a lot of cracks within the european union, and it's not credible anymore. how credible can it be,

what it's following the u. s. playbook and at the same time and then it has no backup from the us and countries like hungry and i'm sure there are others will definitely take advantage of the situation saying that, well, we want to play by this table. can you more, we want to look into the are own interest? the rest of the world's concern is that the takeover of the, of the crimea is a done deal. it was already past part, part of russia, giving it back would be like the u. s. giving back new mexico to, to mexico or giving back texas to mexico. it's really just inconceivable. so i'm, so i think that in recognizing the reality of that situation might be a good place. way to start on winding this whole rises. definitely the u. s. cannot sheet europe today, so your opinion needs solutions that need to be clear it and their new way can be here. it is by is by letting the european union country member states decide for themselves. getting hungry is a model, has been a model country for their genuine,

for these, for these past years, from an economic perspective. and we've seen these factors that even though it has been pinpointed for. busy its laws and social laws, and it still has continued going its own past. it has negotiated vaccines with, with russia. it is now negotiating energy and it's not been kicked out of the european, you know, because of that. so i think it is showing that there is a parallel. busy root within the european union. and while to, to point out that the west doesn't care about ukraine, meanwhile, over the key of the british pm was hinting any russian invasion would be fought for the last ukranian. well versed johnson certainly ramping up the rhetoric today as saying that basically any escalation from russia would be a political humanitarian, aminet, tree mistake, and disaster threatening russia with strong military might boots on the ground, only not british troops on the ground because apparently no weston 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 toe cap into foreign territory. there would be ready to lump russia with these sanctions, but also in terms of this military might be very specific about the ukranian army, but also appealing to the russian public to the single most useful thing we can do is get over to the russian public. the ukrainian army will fight a 200000 so many women on rome's in ukraine. they would put up a very, very fierce and bloody resistance light. i think that parents, mothers in russia should reflect on that. well,

what we've learned from birth strong from his trip to care this is almost running away from issues right here in the heart of a westminster, at home falling all of these party gates scandals, office scandals. i have a wrapped it in westminster, but quite embarrassingly for as a prime minister bar. as johnson, the very 1st question addressed to him in kiev was all about the party gates scandal engulfing westminster. which surprised surprise he somewhat ignored. instead, he tried to focus on deescalate intentions 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 may appear to. and even though he was supposed to have it much earlier on in the week, it still being postponed, it still hasn't happened. and the fact that birth johnson hasn't even picked up the phone is being branded as a joke. 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 as 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. 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. well, it comes as the latest poll suggests that 9 and 10 people here in the u. k. i don't think bar 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 to gray report and all of it findings on the backlash to it as quick as possible. so he's in 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. those in and around the kremlin will have no where to hide. we will make sure that those who share responsibility for the kremlin aggressive, the stabilizing action, will share in bearing a heavy cost. well, take to catherine bar jones in the prime minister describing potential aggression of vladimir putin. but all of this tough talk many m p 's here in the ok. so they 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. and it's not just m p, 's know the public to have that opinion. but indeed, british media and journalism in general is coming out with some pretty tough headlines against the prime minister doris johnson saying it's only

a matter of time till he is out that his roman empire is fooling. and even indeed, that his government is the worst in history. what i will say to the present innocence, i've said, is that i think we really want to step back from the brain. and i think a russian to someone they bring the end of the party, british try, mr. berth johnson on the brink of exit chorus. on the brink, labor store, my head in latest pulls off the party shock. a guy to party gave incredibly stupid scandal makeup for his job, and his job through grace's downing street behavior is difficult to justify florence johnson to we can, but pa, to get time bob to influence ukraine crisis defense chief wounds. p. s one, your own. bring prime in london's former mer, told us that sanctions would backfire against the u. k. and the johnson's just

trying to detract from his own rather pressing problems. back home on 26 years old, i grew up in a world where we were dominated by the cold war. we were told all the time by politicians, we run, distract from what we said in the soviet union today, russia. and then after the cold war ended, we aren't all the documents released. i, we haven't been on the actual america was the big aggressor. i don't believe a word. the british government or the american government is saying about the intentions of putin. if you low, the lead of ukraine is telling the west to sort of wind all this down. i don't feel under stress at all. if we get into sanctions with russia, we'll be in a position where it damages many of our businesses, many, perhaps tens of thousands of people would lose their jobs here in this country. and the simple fact is that he's 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 really not them in or the news to school shootings on the same day have sent shock waves throughout the american communities. one took place at the arts college in virginia and the other at an academy in minnesota. ortiz kellum open reports. well, we have one student shot dead in richfield, minnesota. another student injured and in critical condition. this shooting took place outside of the south educational center. now, at this point, the shooter is still at large, has not been apprehended. this school was placed on lockdown, police did a thorough sweep of the school. i didn't find anything. so at this point, the police are looking for the suspect. one student, his dad, one student is injured now, bridgewater college, far away in virginia, also had an active shooter situation today. now there were no injuries in this

active shooter situation. the governor of virginia has tweeted out that the school shooter was apprehended. the federal and local officials were on the scene at the university which was placed on lockdown. in this instance, there were no injuries of the shooter was apprehended, and the school was placed on lockdown in response to it. so 2 incidents here in the united states, one that involved a fatality and another that apparently did not. and now for a quick update on that story in virginia report, say that to police officers, he was shot at the college of now died. we'll continue to follow that shooting and bring you any developments as and when we get them. the canadian police are preparing to disband. the truck aid on the us border us and the province of alberta is part of must protest against koby vaccination mondays. police say they're ready to make arrests and throw away the vehicles,

the prime minister who reported the fled. also thousands of protesters descend on the city of apparently poured fuel on the fire. that's by branding them a mob of races to steal food from the homeless. i want to be very clear. we are not intimidated by those who hurl insults and abuse of 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, 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 race. us canadians who are as outside to day patriotic peace, loving canadians recalled massage in us and races by the prime minister. why? so again, i will ask the prime minister,

who may i remind this house war black faced, my time ties to the peace loving, patriotic canadians, canadian troika, stephen whitman says the government is dividing the nation to serve its own goals. he's calling me a racist his extremist. what have i done to deserve that? 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, the prices up. and it's infuriating that he is dividing a nation. he's a dividing his voters so that he can push an initiative to be popular on the world stage, the movement rate. now it, it is blow my mind it as a truck driver. i've been following it for almost every hour. watching 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. ciocca sets up the border blockade as they demand the vaccine. monday's be cancelled. some is saying they're determined to state despite the threats of being arrested. another rally took place

in the capital also on monday with resident tracy rosenberg among the crowd. yeah, we have a prime minister who is not being extremely high or a very like people are very backfiring to find it. i guess the fax, the fax, we want to gather all of this and you're watching aussie international. i will bring you more news after this very short break. ah

ah ah . herman bedroom shaped bankers are those with

airs. sinks. we dare to ask ah, welcome back to the program. this saudi led co wish look, coalition targeted civilian buildings in the middle of residential neighborhoods in yemen. capital in the late hours of monday nights. that's according to local media reports. it comes as calm destination grows against the saudi led air raid on a gemini prison that caused the highest civilian casualties in years. arts ease daniel hawkins reports it's one of the deadliest single airstrikes in yemen. civil war, starting out even among dozens of such incidents, would the red cross condemning it as the worst incident of civilian casualties in 3

years. and i had a love on her way and we didn't have any information that there would be an attack . we only heard the sound of the strike. i heard it when i was at home. i went out and entered the jail. i saw body bars everywhere. oh, 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 stomach. some tried to get up and walk. others were locked inside the building. when there were 3 strikes, the 1st block hit the building on the east side from the side of my house. then to strike came on the western side that lives 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. google u. s. sinus forces attack to back a prison and city of saudi using smart bombs sense these bombs are used against ground targets and heavily fortified objects again at his band. 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 repeatedly called out weapons 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 state lucrative sales to saudi arabia and its coalition allies. the one thing as consistent as the

stream of appalling images from yemen has been given policy on arm sale to saudi arabia and its allies. 3 administrations, both democrat and republican, have completed billions in weapons deals while the war in yemen has raged. and walled from enthusiasm for alms deals with saudi princes was well known. there was hope, the boyden 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, we are ending 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 has been different. the spot, the efforts of some sentences, the block on the 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 defining new deals the latest just months ago. and as n g o z and groups have certain senators and congressmen call for a change in policy. even decrying the sales of the violation of us laws. it seems for now business will take precedence regardless of any 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 americans. so nothing new. because the biggest

weapons manufacturer, right now in the world, the united states of america, they will continue to do this. they will need to sell because the foreign policy of the states is dictated by the military industrial complex for the money that noise in the but i am we live right now, but well, it is once again, a huge, really beneficial and profitable business white really to this is the seas, not that big asleep. when i salvia vienna medic annually and america ah, comedian and c. v personality will be goldberg has apologized for saying the whole golf course was not about race but rather a conflict between white people. she made the claim on the popular tv show, the view provoking a furious backlash. going to do this,

then let's be truthful about it because the holocaust isn't about race. no, no, it's not about he may a cd. no will be goldberg, the holocaust was about to not as systematic annihilation of the jewish people lay dean to be an inferior race that he humanized them and used this racist propaganda to justify slaughtering 6000000 jews. holocaust distortion is dangerous. anti semitism is a cancer in a poison that is increasingly excused in our culture and television and permeates spaces. that should shock us. all. racism was central to nazi ideology. jews were not defined by religion, but by race, nati, racist beliefs, fuel genocide and mass murder. the outfits memorial which is home to one of the most infamous nazi concentration comes, responded by sending goldberg, a course on the holocaust. mark schulman, the editor of history central dot com says memory, memory of the tragedy appears to be fading 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, you know, schmid statement that the holocaust is. 2 white groups killing each other so to speak. one white group killing another 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, 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 kind of tech. so it's really the key to understanding our past and probably understanding our future as well. well, that's it for now, my name is peter scotts and i'll be back again to the top of the hour. but if you can't wait till then feel free to head over to us social media pages,

the more stories and in depth analysis. the join me every 1st day on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport, business. i'm show business, i'll see you then in the traveling to the city has taken mel, dude and his family, several hours with him, his wife and son, and 2 daughters. 9 year old nathan and a hood. 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 .
