an engagement, it was the trail. when so many find themselves will depart, we choose to look for common ground. ah, what do we do? go to war with the nato blow, has someone thought about a person makes it crystal clear, he sees the cranes potential nato membership is a direct threat to rushes national security the macaroni government, which is the country's muslim counselors, francis go to link to the community decision that's been slammed this political as canadian truck has rally against vaccine mandates, the country is made in our thirty's run them a danger to society. we speak with one of the protest. ah, father,

very good morning. thanks for joining me here on out. so david putin is slammed nato's military backing of ukraine and key of succession talks with the alliance, saying that it all bolsters the countries ambition to retake the crimea peninsula stance. the white house mocked pollution because when you might listen carefully to what i say in ukraine and what is written that they plan, they return crimea including by military, meaning just not what they say. probably imagine for yourself, the crane, a nato member filled with weaponry and begins an operation in crimea. not even mentioned on bass, that is silver in russian territory. for us, in this sense, the question is closed again. what do we do? go to war with the nato block has someone thought about, you know, when the fox is screaming from the top of the hen house that he's scared of the chickens, which is essentially what they're doing. that fear isn't reported as

a statement of fact. and as you watch, president putin screaming about the fear of ukraine and the ukrainians that should not be reported as a statement of fact. we know who the foxes, in this case of the strife between the kremlin and white house comes midwestern installations, rushes planning to invade your crime. moscow's repeatedly given assurances, it has no such designs and accuses the west of using war rhetoric and attempt to contain russia. thereby, neglecting the welfare of ukraine itself. i colleagues don't quarter and kevin, i will discuss this issue. 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 older 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 in the charter only says that the alliance can accept new countries. maybe if all of the actual member countries agree to that. now, according to 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 that 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 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 ball and astonished declarations of that organization that i just mentioned. they, 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, the us loves this clause. 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. what live, rob said, it should take you to look at 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 west does not want to fulfill its obligations, wants to fulfill them, we selectively in its favor. 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 it was a while after they proposed that they received this response and it's the 2 key proposals 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. a fish was 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 is 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 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. we've spoken with political analysts, nicola markovich and journalist daniel lazar, he say the u. s. policy of ukraine. it dividing europe for some countries on the continent are 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 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. 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 back up 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 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 passed. 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 and 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 solution that need to be clear it and their new way can be to hear it is by is by letting the communion country member states decide for themselves. getting hungry is a model, has been a model country for their, for these, for the past years or 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. it is now negotiating energy and it's not been kicked out of the european, you know, because of. so i think it is showing that there is a parallel route within the european union. francis council of the

muslim faith is accusing the government to plain political games after the micron administration snubbed it as its official communication channel with the community deciding instead to set up a new grassroots style forum. ne correspondence, charlotte dubious sky, explains the spot i'm season can so of the muslim faith, known as the cfc m, has fallen out of favor with the country's government. after years of being the official interlocutor between religious leaders and the authorities, it's been unceremoniously dumped. why the muslim worship council was created to try to structure islam in france. it was structured at that time around national federations of algerians, moroccans, tunisians, koreans, and turks. to day we are seeing extremely strong interference from foreign states and we cannot accept that. we hope there will be no more. this is the end of islamic foreign influence in france. instead, the government is moving towards

a grassroots for him, which will include him, mom's women, and influential figures. this is, it says, much more representative than the cfc m. but the c f c m's general director says it won't be able to replace what it does. and despite reports, it won't be dissolving. reminisce forms a platform for discussions for the exchange of ideas in this form will not be a replacement for the c, f. c, m, which deals with issues of religious practice. so we live in a secular state. it is not the state that should decide whether the cfc m should be dissolved, but the muslims themselves. in addition, interior minister darman, in, in his statement said the form is a space for dialogue, but also that those responsible for it should be chosen by muslims themselves. so it is we who have the right to choose who will represent us as far as our religion is concerned, and not the state. and once again, the cfc m. c's. this change of heart by the french government as being mired in

politics ahead of the presidential elections function. but we're really in the pre election period. now when islam is being talked about on all tv channels on the radio, i think these attacks on islam on muslims represent a significant stick. i zation practice that is unbearable. the talk about muslims in islam to avoid other important issues. i see that starting with the far right some more with his hate speeches with his race, his speeches. naturally, there are some political parties more moderate or joining the more platform, making the same speeches several times more moderate. but they, nevertheless, are hoping to bring the right to an extreme right into their ranks. but that's crazy. we need to stop these hate speeches, the stigmatization stop constantly pointing the finger of muslims. and the timing of the said now to and is pretty interesting. the entry of the firebrand right winger, eric's more into the fray of the presidential election,

has it seen the debate? we focus on issues such as is amazing. now with around 70 days before the voting manual mat gone, has decided to revolutionize the organization of islam in france. it also comes as a new light has been shown on issues around radicalization in the country. a report on french tv about woo bay, a city in the north of france's once again provoked controversy. allegations that who bear had become a no go zone with women eating in restaurants, he blew behind cubicles and shops, selling faceless doors for muslims who believe that it is forbidden to depict facial features has stood up a hornet's nest. don't give an audience to this pile of felt called a show. and 6 via zone inter died is getting rich largely because we muslims like masochist enjoy watching this degrading treatment of us. they say it's

a minority minority and schools, and minority and mosques and minority and the rat, a minority in cities, et cetera. it's starting to be a big minority. it's amazing how they want to demonize religion. it makes me want to throw up the presenter of that program and one of the main guests now live under police protection. as a result of those threats, many of the allegations that the report contained, of also since been denied. but what it does show is how divisive the issue separatism remains in a country where the memories of terrorism, whether that be the attack at charley abdel, the but decline, or even more recently, the beheading of teacher, samuel patty, are still fresh. ism isn't as a debate, still has the power to hold court. the head of april election. charlotte, even sky r t, paris canadian truckers. so out in force protesting on

mass against mandatory jumps, the government's condemned. their action with the premier of alberto so quick to denounce the protests. and it is, however, unfortunate to see a small number of people who engaged in protest over the past few days express extreme views and embrace hateful some symbols. it's also unfortunate to see a small number break. the law, create a public safety hazard and a enormous inconvenience for law abiding canadians, including thousands of other truckers. by blocking the border at coots, 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 canadians. horace, outside to day patriotic peace, loving canadians recalled massages and races by the prime minister. again, i will ask the prime minister who may i remind this house war blackface, my eyes to the peace loving. patriotic canadians who are outside right now. just asking to be heard well, the trick is, have you seen chancing for their freedom as they've used their vehicles to block along to the us border in the problem is i'll berto saw despite the threat of being arrested for those reported negotiations are taking place between canadian authorities on the truck as we spoke to one of those who took part in freedom convoy protests. every single if i would say 95 percent of the vehicles are going,

therefore the corner voiced sport and to people who are standing on the bridges, it was minus $25.00, damp, dated outside, and people who are standing on the bridge of it that occurred xander elderly people's rate. once we entered in ottawa, it was a completely different of why people off on the street, on the sidewalks. they were like seeing, thank you for coming. thank you for coming. it's not for new minority. all or do i flirted with? i would say almost some around a 1000000 millions of people. right. so it's not a fringe annuity. no, it's. it's where you were kansas majority of people over there. i was there from morning till midnight there. i haven't seen a single single kind of since you don't get to my own eyes. i don't know what are the projecting. what are the showing on the flags and everything? i haven't seen anything with them. are you and i canada may story made is being accused of following in the steps of the government by vilifying the truck as with an onslaught of headlines slamming the protest. this spot, this organizes of res,

nearly $10000000.00 in donations. we spoke to journalist scheme, banks who says that the major run the government and making a mass of the handling of the protests. i've been on the ground in ottawa for the past couple days and ever since conway actually arrived and domains for me as completely botched their coverage of, of this protests of this demonstration in this movement in general. they say that it's full of races, since i personally have not seen any confederate flags or not see symbolism with my own eyes. i've seen footage of it, but i've also seen swatches of people outraged at the fact that that happened. and the thing is, i don't really trust, i don't really trust that it's true because you know, these people are hiding their face. they're showing their flags for a few minutes and then disappearing. but the problem is just true as relishing in this tyranny. justin trudeau is enjoying every moment that he's able to escape goat . a minority of people who are unvaccinated, 15 percent or so. and use that as

a political step stool to stand higher and preach to his base who are eating it all up. the british prime minister's pay to visit ukraine, an issue of support use the occasion to warn russia that any invasion would be fought to the last ukranian not he shuddered, dashed, the brakes down bars. johnson's visit. well versed, johnson has upped the ante and up the robust rhetoric against russia. now saying any escalation from the country would result in a humanitarian, political, and military disaster, essentially threatening russia with strong miniature re might, and boots on the ground, only not british or bruce on the ground. as of course, no western government would really want to bring the crisis that close to home instead speaking at key in care of at the joint conference with president of ukraine. or as johnson is threatening sanctions, he says a packet of sanctions is just there waiting at the ready on the wayside. should

a single russian soldier even enter a tow cap into the region? however, in times of this military might then quite specific that its ukrainian military might. and it's also appealed to the russian public. that's the single most useful thing we can do is get over to the russian public, the ukrainian army route for a route to other 1000 rooms in ukraine. they would put up a very, very fierce, bloody resistance. like i think that parents, mothers in russia should reflect on that. well, what we learned from barnes johnson's trip to care is that he's essentially hoping to run away from the issues that embroil him and his government right here in the united kingdom. quite embarrassingly than for the prime minister. the very 1st question in care was all about the party gate a scandals engulfing westminster,

which surprised surprise. he somewhat ignored. instead, he focused on saying he was trying to de escalate tensions. having said that, or is johnson hasn't even picked up the phone to vladimir putin, even though he promised at the beginning of the week, he would certainly do so. but still, we're waiting to hear from that phone call. but all of that has been essentially branded as a joke. a lot of things talk, i'm pretty much pathetic treatment of an escalating crisis where boys johnson is somewhat putting his own politics domestically ahead of an international crisis. amid a dangerous crisis threatening peace in europe, a vital diplomatic opportunity has been missed is 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 polls suggest that $9.10 people want boris johnson out and don't think he's fit to run the country. plus his approval ratings are almost at an all time low, just 22 percent. so it seems as though bars johnson immediately wants to move away from the su gray inquiry into the downing street allegations. and so that's why he has headed offer to care, but it's not as and these know the public now, but the british media to that coming out with some pretty serious a damming headlines against boris johnson. the government, including pointing to the fact, is only a matter of time for the prime minister that his roman empire is falling and even that his government is the worst in history. what i will say to the president in some such it is, i think we really want to step back from the brain. and i think, rushing to someone they bring the end of the party. british trauma is the birth johnson on the brink of exit chorus. on the brink, labor store,

my head in latest pulls off the party shock. a good to party, gave incredibly stupid scandal make up for his job and go through grace's downing street behavior. it's difficult to justify florence johnson to weaken, but pot to get time bob to influence ukraine crises, ex defense chief, wants pierce one your own, bring prime in london's former battle to sanctions would back far on the u. k. and claims. johnson's just trying to detract from his own problems. i. on 26 years old, i grew up in a world where we were dominated by the cold war. i and we were told all the time by our politicians. we run, distract from what was 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 tray and actually, america was the big aggressor. i don't believe

a worth the reproduce government or the american government is saying about the intentions of putin. if you go, 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 the damage is many of our businesses, many, perhaps tens of thousands of people lose their job 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 may be see her suspended. comedian and tv personality will be goldberg for claiming the holocaust was not about race, but rather a conflict between 2 groups of white people. she since apologized, she made a remark on a b. c showed the view and provoked

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, 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 of ass fitz memorial, which preserves the site of the infamous nazi concentration camp, responded by offering goldberg, a course on the holocaust. mach schulman, editor of history central dot com,

says memory of the tragedy appears to be fading in the united states, particularly right now, jews a 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, a one white group calling 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 in a situation where the holocaust is fading into history and it's very hard as someone teaches history. it's very hard to get people 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 it totally out of context. and kind of context is really the key to understanding our past and probably understanding our future as well. ah, rushes ambassador to the united nation,

says the u. s. message in contradicts washington. suppose does off a dialogue with moscow speaking to media conference. he suggested america isn't actually interested in pace. 5 or more, y u. s. is his escalating test tensions? and at the same time accusing russia was going to escalate intentions. president, sky is calling to the, to stop banking on the other. you create an officials are saying that they don't see imminent threat, which is coming from russia in april. there were, there was a similar situation. the, there was a, there were my numerous exercises and troops moved in them. they moved out. nobody that made any fuss about suddenly today that is being portrayed that presented as a name in the g. 2 great rush is representative also said he had no idea why western officials in the media keep saying moscow deployed a 100000 troops at its borders with the train system to think it was sheer

speculation. it comes as the cranium president signs in order to expand his country's military bomb string, the ranks of clear army by at least 100000 soldiers over the next 3 years. meanwhile, some ukrainian citizens are actively making preparations for an invasion with housewives. among those undergoing training, we spoke to political analyst paul ingram. he says, ukraine's getting no real military support from the west. it is a symbolic effort to, to show support to ukraine. but actually, the west are, may, may well be talking out the prospects of conflict, but i'm not actually willing to put that troops in harm's way at this stage. i think that what we need to do is we need to start thinking about mutual security, about building a security architecture and picking up on president patients, ideas and suggestions for, for passing

a reset button for actually thinking about european security from scratch rather than offering nato membership, eastern european countries in the past have been part of the soviet union. so meanwhile, amid rising tensions in eastern europe, russia and bella reese, are ensuring that they're prepared for any escalation, the holding joints, military exercises right now called allied resolve. these are designed to test both countries ability to respond to any potential military provocation. ah, ah, ah

ah ah . and that brings you about it today. don't forget, we have a lot more new stories available on our website. you can check them out by simply heading to r t dot com. ah ah.

to bring you the very latest every out the day, this is all now snow on everyone hand home with with turnaround. that traffic started with the influx of contractors went largely uncontrolled by us government was this organized non purpose. it just was too much going on in war zones.
