8:00 pm
a little high, you are a user misinformation and should be banned from my society, shanna, or else. mm hm. with what do we do? go to war with the nato blog. has someone thought about bloody me. person expresses concerns about ukraine's potential nato membership is direct threats, rushes national security. meanwhile, the british p. m. telephone is rhetoric against russia and threatened sanctions, grave consequences, and a response from the army, just not britain, but ukraine's 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
8:01 pm
a racist extra. what if i don't deserve that? ah, from moscow to the world, this is our international. i'm pizza, scott. and these are the top stories this, our russian president vladimir putin has delivered a stinging rebuke against nato's military backing of ukraine. warning of dire consequences from that strategy assistance. 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 even mentioned the best that is silver in russian territory. for us in this sense, the question is closed. what do we do?
8:02 pm
go to war with the nato block has someone's thoughts about this, which is, seems not poor. 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 put, and 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 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 prudent, this behavior also shows that washington is not actually interested in the defense
8:03 pm
of ukraine or security. they're actually interested more so in putting a lid on russia's growth. so it just seems to me that 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, basically called out the united states for its selective interpretation of
8:04 pm
specifically the estate 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 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 certificate to 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,
8:05 pm
wants to fulfill them. so we selectively in its favor for you. 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 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 was time and time again said there's nothing threatening going on here and we're not planning an invasion of ukraine. so you know,
8:06 pm
we have to see the diplomacy develops here. but so far, what we have heard is that you foreign policy chief, has already discussed russia's letter with represented washington and nato. so we'll see how it's about whether earlier we spoke with political analyst, nickel markovich, and generally study lazar who said that u. s. policy over ukraine is dividing europe as many countries on the continent to simply no longer willing to follow washington's lead. the us will never forgive potent for, for taking over the crimea, or for in any way supporting the rebellion and don, that's going to have or opposing us side plans to take over the ukraine as a whole. and to install the nato client state on the russian border. 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
8:07 pm
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 has no backup from the us and countries like hungry and i'm sure there are others will definitely take advantage of the situation. think that, well, we don't want to play by this playbook anymore. 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 as part of part of russia, giving it back would be like the us 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 recognizing the reality of that situation might be a good place way to start on winding this whole rises. definitely the us cannot cheat europe today. so your opinion needs solutions that need to be clear. it and their new way can be care. here it is by is by letting the opinion country member
8:08 pm
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 economy 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 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 root within the european union. and while puting points out to the west, doesn't care about ukraine. meanwhile, over the key of the british preem was hinting any bush, the invasion would be fought to the last ukrainian 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,
8:09 pm
only not british troops on the ground because apparently no weston government really wants to get that involved to bring the cross 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 co 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 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,
8:10 pm
mothers in russia should reflect on that. well, what we've learned from birth strengthens 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 full of the prime minister boris johnson. the very 1st question addressed to him in kiev was all about the party gate 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's still being postpone, it still hasn't happened. and the fact that bars johnson hasn't even picked up the phone is being branded as a joke. embarrassing and pathetic by m. p. 's here in westminster,
8:11 pm
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. 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 pulse 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 its 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,
8:12 pm
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 jim 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 have a cost. well, the tool katherine bar shows from the prime minister, describing potential aggression of vladimir to tin. 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
8:13 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 fooling. and even indeed that his government is the worst in history. what i will say to the prison. so i said this, 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, mister burns johnson, on the brink of exit chorus, on the brink, labor store, my head in latest pulls off to party shock. a guy to party gave incredibly stupid scandal makers for his job. and his job through grace's downing street behavior is difficult to justify florence johnson, too. we can, but pa, to get time bob to influence ukraine crisis defense chief wounds. p. s one, your own. bring primary well london's former mer told us that sanctions would buck
8:14 pm
fire on the u. k. and 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 all the documents released. i, we haven't been on the right. and actually, america was the big aggressor. i don't believe a worth the, the, 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 wind all this down. i don't feel under stress 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,
8:15 pm
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 really not them in all the news to school shootings on the same day have sent shock waves throughout american communities. one took place at the private liberal arts school in virginia, and the an academy in minnesota. cross live now to see if caleb moore, news in new york. taylor, tell us more about the latest school shootings. what do we know so far? well, there's been some shocking new revelations about what happened at bridgewater college in virginia. the school was put on lockdown students, reported hearing shots outside of their classes at bridgewater college in virginia . and from what we understand, 2 police officers were shot and killed. now,
8:16 pm
at this point, the suspect in virginia has been taken into custody and has been apprehended. but it appears that 2 police officers lost their lives that bridgewater college students have described hearing the shots that went on the gunshots and, and, you know, seeing bodies, etc. now, it's also important to note that in richfield, richfield, minnesota, are across the country. we had a situation where there was a shooting that took place outside of south and the education center. and this shooting took place and one student was shot and killed. another shoot student was injured by a gunshot and is in the hospital in critical condition. and in that situation, the shooter has also been apprehended so a day, just a tuesday in the united states at a liberal arts college and as an educational center, we saw shootings, gun violence taking place to police officers killed in virginia and one student
8:17 pm
killed in minnesota. caleb, thank you for that update on those tragic events over in america. those are these kennimore in new york. thank you. in all the news took, as in canada, have been blocking major roads and a protest against covey vaccine mandates. they include blockading the national parliament building in ottawa and a busy point of entry on the u. s. border in alberta. province, police have been trying to disperse the protesters threatening to arrest them, and so away the vehicles. prime minister just intrude of fled as an estimated $10000.00 protesters descended on the capital. he's nevertheless poured fuel on the fire by branding the demonstrators as a mother racist to steal fuel from the homeless. i want to be very clear. we are not intimidated by those who hurl insults and abuse of small business workers,
8:18 pm
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 racist canadians who are as outside to day patriotic peace, loving canadians recalled massage, ines, and races by the prime minister black. so again, i will ask the prime minister, who may i remind this house war black face, mine eyes to the peace loving, patriotic canadians. yeah, i've been on the ground in ottawa for the past couple days. and ever since conway actually arrived, i personally have not seen any confederate flags, were not see symbolism with my own eyes. i've seen footage of it,
8:19 pm
but i've also seen vast swaths of people i outraged at the fact that that happened . and the means for me has completely botched their coverage of, of this protest of this demonstration. and this movement in general, they say that it's full of races sits, but they said at one point it was organized by russia. they said that they were stealing food from the homeless, but it's quite the opposite. in fact, they actually just set up a pop up soup kitchens, where they're, they're feeding pizzas actually, to anyone who needs food. they're playing hockey in the streets. and their message is that they're calling for an end to pandemic policy and, and to lock downs, an end to the tyranny that they feel prime minister justin trudeau is pressing upon them. we spoke to some of those involved in the process, such as canadian, took a stephen whitman, who says that governments has been dividing the nation to serve its own interests. he's calling me a racist his extremist. what
8:20 pm
have i done to deserve that? my government is supposed to have my back when you're in trouble and you need 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 in 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
8:21 pm
the world stage. the movement rate. now 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 took a sets of the board, a blockade demanding the vaccine. monday's be cancelled summer saying they are determined to stay even despite the threat of being arrested. another rally took place in the capital also on monday with resident tracy. rosa barrow among the crowd. we have a prime minister who is not being extremely devices or are they are now using language. again,
8:22 pm
people who are very easily this is back hiring because i don't want to divide it. i guess the fact that the fax we want to stand by and do you want read all of this? ah, the saudi led coalition targets had civilian buildings in the middle of residential neighborhoods in the yemen capital in the late hours of monday nights. thus, according to local media reports, it comes as condemnation grows against the saudi led air raid on a gemini prison. the course the highest civilian casualties in years are tease 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
8:23 pm
years. can i have had a love on her way? since 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, what 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 blast 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 killed dozens as have wedding parties, hospitals and schools. officials from the saudi led coalition denied at responsibility for the strike,
8:24 pm
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 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 weapons sales for the region as a key factor in the worse and crisis heretic images that have trickles out of yemen are 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
8:25 pm
consistent as the stream of appalling images from yemen has been give us policy on arm sale to saudi arabia on 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 or not support offensive activities and operations in yemen,
8:26 pm
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 senators to block on sales weaponry has poured into saudi arabia and billions of dollars into the accounts of us. all manufacturers, mounting civilian casualties, have been no obstacle to finding 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 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 a very long time given by the american. so nothing new. because the biggest
8:27 pm
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 united states is dictated by the military industrial complex for the money that noise in the but i live right now, but well, it is once again a huge be beneficial and profitable business. white really exclude. this is the seals that have been placed between a salvage vienna medic annually. and america comedian and c, v pers nazi will pick. goldberg has apologized for saying the holocaust was not about race, but rather a conflict between white people. she made the claim on the popular t v. show the view provoking
8:28 pm
a furious backlash. going to do less than let's been truthful about it because the holocaust isn't about race. no, no. it's not about the re. a city no will be goldberg, the holocaust was about to not to systematic annihilation of the jewish people. they deemed to be an inferior race. that he humanized them and eustace racist propaganda to justify slaughtering 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 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 auschwitz memorial, which is holmes, one of the most infamous nasty concentration comes, responded by sending goldberg, a course on the holocaust. mark schulman, the editor of history central dot com says memory of the tragedy appears to be
8:29 pm
fading in the united states, particularly right now, jews is sort of considered white people part of the establishment list 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 some of the teachers history is very hard to get people 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 the latest from around the world. my name is peter scott, and i'll be back again at the top of the hour, but head over to
