what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah, the russian foreign ministry vows to retaliate against german media in russia after germany's media regulator slopes are broadcast bon on our teeth, history channel r t. d. so ahead on the program that you asked nato response to, nate to rushes, propose security guarantees. it's lisa unpublished, by a spanish newspaper. the document rejects russia's teet amounts, including keeping neighboring ukraine out of the military law. that you could

certain about the green label on gas and new killer power paving the way for subsidies on tax cuts. as member states plot a show with a switch to renew both in the midst of an energy crisis with from moscow to the world. this is our t pleasure to help you with this today. i'm, you know, neil. russia has pledge to take action against german media outlets operating in the country. the announcement from the foreign ministry came just hours after our sister channel r t. d was blocked by germany's media regulator. the verdict of the german media regulator is an unambiguous signal that russian concerns have been defiantly ignored. this step deprives us of any choice but to start implementing retaliatory measures against german media accredited in russia. as well as internet intermediaries who have all betrayed early and unreasonably deleted the channels

accounts from their platform. we repeatedly pointed out to germany, the unacceptability of exerting politically motivated pressure on the russian media outlet and the inevitability of counter measures. if berlin refused to seek a constructive solution to the problem it had created with our teeter earlier r t accused, the german regulator of suppressing free speech. after our sister channel, our tv was fits with a full bump, including online news networks. production arm is taking the regulator to court after it was wrongly named cit channels. broadcaster ortiz, deputy editor in chief on the balcony, gave my colleague royce to shay a breakdown up the dispute via a license that was obtained with absolutely all courting european rules and regulations. according to the european convention on transferred to your television, and we are free to broadcast via that license in the 30 plus territory across europe. they are saying that our tv productions,

which is an entirely independent production company, is actually the tv channel of that broadcast from germany. and there's generally absolutely no broadcasting happening from berlin at all. or to d. e. the tv channel is oh broadcasting right here for moscow. in, in fact, there studios are essentially next door to where we're sitting here and we were here all launching the channel mid december. yet, nevertheless, the regulator is asking the production company to start broadcasting, which they are not even doing. and to do it not just on television, but to do it on the all the online platforms, apps, etc, etc, which again, the production has absolutely no control over all of this is centered right here in moscow. and the tv broadcasting as well is done from here with the you think they were afraid of something that we do here at our team. i mean, it definitely seems that there is quite a lot of apprehension about

a different voice, like r t or it's being present there, you know, and they are under fire. not just under it from authorities. in, in germany, the youtube channel was taken down within hours of the, over the beginning of the broadcast. that is obviously an american company. and then indeed there was pressure being put on an indicator independence satellite operator. util sat to take us to, to stop broadcasting our feed as well. so it really is a multi pronged attack when one of the comments that you've made regarding this, you say, quote, we will not be removing our feeds or channels voluntarily and encourage all platforms not to be bullied by the media watchdogs, illegitimate minds that does it seem like bullying. yeah, absolutely. and we've seen those done not just with regards to the broadcasting, but various productions have had all of their various partners, bullied, including banking, banking, relationships, other operational relationships for or for the last number of years. and we believe

that, you know, the rtp production position is entirely not just legal and in accordance with all the rules and regulations, but is beyond substantiated. and that we're hoping that the courts are going to see that and side with them. likewise, r t d, the channels position is entirely legitimate within germany and other european markets. and we will be defending that position. and i just want to bring you up. the russian foreign ministry has said their spokesperson marie is a horror of cues, germany, of breaching its legal obligations, leaving moscow with no choice but to retaliate. just don't let berlin now say that they weren't offered a way of staying within the international legal framework. we offer that repeatedly and at various levels. we've pointed out solutions to problems that were not created by us. but if germany has steamrolled through its obligations in protecting

freedom of speech, then we have no reason to be shy about retaliating. with german, a column is full cur, helmeyer. he give us his views on the rtp dispute. see, thinks western democracies need to allow pluralism to thrive in the media in the western robes. we do have a certain media complex that moderates of the critical topics to their own advantage. and the views of other media outlets from other countries which are seen as a foe. that is one of the reasons why we are seeing this current and stand off in the media business. i'm not astonished that the actions taken by germany regarding russia deutsch. i do find an answer by russia, by the russian government, by the russian president vickers. these actions are not friendly actions. we should

regard in our western democracies about pluralism and discussion is a center piece of our democratic culture that other views have yours are well come in order to have a discussion and miram in depth to find the best solutions going forward. and we should point out that the r t d sang has been going on for months now. indeed, since launch day ortiz nikki, our intakes, look back now at the turbulence events surrounding the channel. the r t. d low in states was an exciting day, but within hours it wasn't just reporting the news. it was the news with the channels live stream deleted from you chip, just a short time off. it went on air, then just days later, there was a finding increasing interference and the channel signal after it was taken off one of its 2 satellites, after germany authorities claimed it didn't have the license needed to operate in

the country. but the thing is it doesn't need one having obtained its broadcasting license in serbia, which just like germany is a signatory to the european convention of trans frontier television. the member states of the council of europe and the other states party to the european cultural convention, or reaffirming their commitment to the principles of the free flow of information and ideas in the independence of broadcasters, which constitute an indispensable basis for their broadcasting policy. must movies i know about the closure of bank accounts and so on. there's a large number of tactics. they're using c r t d cons operate, they're infringing on freedom of speech and that's very bad. but the european regulator is clearly under a different impression. the license must be issued in germany, and the application must also be filed here. first of all, this is a real irritant, and we will take care of it. so what's the reaction from the german government? what it seems they've decided to stay out of the route and now although you don't

have to dig too far to find the kind of tone being set by some in the ruling coalition, the media authority and youtube rightly pulled the plug on the pirate station of the enemies of democracy and lateral thinkers, this repeated attempt to circumvent european and national laws underscore the danger of this self proclaimed t v broadcaster requires action at all levels. so could this be the end of the road for the short live channel? well, our t d e is already preparing to fight on and we spoke with rock legend and roger waters co founder of pink floyd. he thinks germany wants to block of turned the viewpoints challenging the west or north. they want to create and may have a monopoly of media that only expresses the accepted western narrative that comes down to them to those major outlets from

the ruling class in western society. and then when in the western countries state, russia today actually provides an old son a view to the beauty that is given by certainly every single american tv network. you cannot watch network g b in the united states because it's all nonsense every single minute. i don't care if it's fox news or m s m, b, c. it's all made up nonsense. so russia to day which you can watch in the united states and which i do watch russia today. but it gives every appearance of being much more direct and truthful about the reality of our lives on this globe than folks yours or m. s m, b, c, or any of the other set. certainly. net network television in the us. all

the b, b, c, o i g, b, or channel for any of the stations as well. but i would like to shut down, shut down any voice that doesn't necessarily tow the line and agree with big brother on every single issue down to the last cross t and da, to die and full stop. this is so or, well in this is 1984 come to life. they're looking in a mirror. when that, when they accuse are see a big dissemination of disinformation particularly now with all this nonsense about the grain. they're looking in america. that's exactly what they are, all dirt can of the story to bring you today. the full text of the confidential us nature,

response to russia. security concerns has been leaked that purported document was published by spanish newspaper l pies. earlier my colleagues knew harvey and sa skia taylor, discuss the content. over the past few weeks, we've seen at the highest diplomatic levels, riley's of accusations of verbal sparring. and that's just what's been happening in public. so we can only imagine what's going on behind closed doors, but now a fresh document leak has all put off a glimpse into what is indeed happening behind those doors. and it's really showed that moscow and washington, alongside nato, a very, very far from reaching any kind of consensus with regards to ukraine, issue, uninsured. well beyond move, not that does seem to be almost a blind unwillingness from the military alliance to recognize any of russia security concerns. now, the spanish language paper open hasn't managed to get it comes on the nato and us response to russia. security proposals now will remember those proposals they were sent back in december. they fin triggered a flurry of diplomatic talks and cools,

and essentially they requested legal guarantees, restricting father nato expansion, specifically with regards to ukraine. the document that we're seeing now though, reveals a very blunt response from washington and brussels. and it's a no full states should respect the right of other states to choose or change security arrangements and to decide their own future and foreign policy free from outside interference. in this slide, we reaffirm our commitment to nato's open door policy under article 10 of the washington treaty. we have of course, requested comment from both nato and the us state department. but if we take just this document, it seems that it is an open shot case. them, they will not compromise. that is despite flat, i'm a person warning, but this is a very reckless disregard of russia's concerns. it's not well for help, because do people realize that this could potentially set all nations involved down a very dangerous path of no return associates?

just because when you much listen carefully to us, i say, in ukraine's own doctrine, the documents it is written that they plan to return crimea, including by military means that it's not what they say publicly. imagine for yourself that ukraine and nate members will begin military operations in crimea. what do we do? go to war with the nato block? has anyone thought about that? so the situation is it seems to me both sides refusing to budge and let him pitch and set it there in a slightly different context. but what do we do? what's versus reaction? been to this moscow has already sent follow up questions to this document. so clearly that there is a desire for continued a dialogue, but most disposition on this has been consistent from the beginning. it recognizes, of course, that every single country has the right to determine its own policy and assure its own security that is not what's being disputed. here the issue is when countries choices have ramifications beyond its borders and actually pose a very real physical threat to someone else. and let's just be clear. a potential

natal launchpad located in ukraine is just a couple of minutes miss all away from, from russia. so it's essentially, i think, this fear that really underlies russia's concerns, even though you know shows abortion is just ignoring our concerns, the u. s. and need to refer to the rights of states to freely choose how to insure the security. but it's not just about giving someone this right. after all, this is only one parts of the well known formula for the indivisibility of security . the 2nd integral part says that once not allow the strengthening of any one security at the expense of the security of other states. so the washing leaders asking, why must we thought provide our security that someone else can feel safe? not said it would be remiss if i didn't point out that the document has some encouraging moments i'm talking about. reestablish the communication long military channels, reinstating the nature office here and moscow discussing arms control. so reducing

missile deployment to ukraine. but if we get to the bottom of it lets people on, according to this document, the west responds to ne, existential concern of russia, as we have here. but we don't care enough to do anything. and this is in fact case clothes, we're not gonna discuss it further. but here's a list of much smaller things that we feel that we can give you to project an image that we are listening and being co operative but do nothing in any way to address your fun demand concerns. and with that kind of inflexible rhetoric combined, of course, with this ongoing footage of millions of dollars worth of weapons being sent to kiev. it's very difficult even with the best of intentions to see where to move from. now, just to stay with history a little longer, kevin, and earlier discuss the story with donnie mcadams, executive director of the ron paul institute for peace and prosperity. he is of the view. the biden administration's hyping up the ukraine crisis to boost its own ratings. we have a present in the u. s. is deeply, deeply unpopular. he's just but to do something to rally americans behind him. and

this is viewed by the u. s. foreign policy establishment as a sort of a risk free way of boosting his numbers, which is the rest of us who are saying believes it's a very dangerous game to play food. and also said, officially, ukrainian government documents show they want to use military force to seize crimea, while ukraine has been asking for so much military assistance from the west. go for it. you know, i mean, that's not going to happen. ukraine is not going to take crimea back, you know, we, the u. s. government loves to talk about self determination. there was a vote in crimea. they voted to rejoin a russia that had it had been part of, for hundreds of years. russian troops were already there. the americans love to say that russia invaded crimea. russia was already there. it had a lease up until i know the end of next century. so no, this is a good argument to not let him in. but you know, the u. s. is not interested in a good arguments, the u. s. is interested in the political when the, by the administration,

i should say the head of cnn has resigned for lying about when on a 1st started with a colleague, gift succor, spend 9 years out the news network, mainly at a time of continually falling ratings. let's get the full story now from our to kill him up and in new york. so the boss is gone, kill him, take us through what led to him stepping down? well, there was a surprise email to sienna, an employee today informing them that jeff zocker, who is the head of cnn, is stepping down. and the reason given for his stepping down is that he had a relationship with a colleague that he did not disclose. apparently cnn requires that, that relationships between colleagues be disclosed in order to protect the company from liability lawsuits, etc. he's saying that this relationship he's had for the past several years with a colleague started out as a friend relationship. and in the last couple years became a romantic one,

because he did not disclose that he is stepping down as the head of cnn. now many are looking on and finding it peculiar and wondering if this is not really more about cnn's falling ratings. not so much this romantic scandal. ok, this isn't the stand alone events. we know. i there, cnn stuff. i've been caught up several times in scandals recently. haven't they? ball sure. i mean, the most blatant example is john griffin, a cnn producer who was arrested by the f b i in december. and he was charged with a pretty serious crime. it's alleged in his indictment, that he had a special facility to carry out, interstate commerce, and bring young women under age and their parents to this facility. and to facilitate training the young women and being sexually submissive. it's quite a serious allegation, and this john griffin is not some low level employee. this is a top producer,

it's cnn. it was rubbing shoulders with chris cuomo now you remember? chris cuomo also stepped down due to the allegation that he was colluding with his brother new york state and governor andrew cuomo when he was facing scandals that ultimately led to him stepping down as governor of new york. in addition to that, we now have a little scandal here with kat rosenfeld, a cnn commentator who insulted the audience of popular blogger and pod caster joe, joe rogan. this is what she said about the audience of joe rogan. and you know, his audience that people consume as podcast is what she said. here's people who, you know, they like something that we consider ourselves more enlightened. don't think it's good for them. you know, we think that they're internalizing this misinformation that they're using it to make bad decisions. now she also compare the audience of joe rogan to people that are overweight or unhealthy, and many are looking on and finding these remarks to be almost funny because at

this point, joe rogan's viewership and listenership to his podcast is far larger than cnn. it's about 11000000 people. listen to joe rogan's podcast regularly. cnn struggles to get over 700000 viewers. so not a good year for the major major primary news network in the united states. they're viewership is in decline. skepticism of mainstream media is rising in the united states according to polls. so cnn is not really having the best time these days. thanks for taking us through all of us or us corresponding caleb and the natural gas and nuclear power could soon be classed as green energy. in the e u. the european commission supports the idea which has been slammed by environmental groups as green washing or europe correspondent peter oliver takes on story for you, entered, she's been in focus for quite a while with energy prices across year of being through the roof. but what we've

seen on wednesday was the commission outline their plans to reclassify some natural gas projects and nuclear power projects on green energy investments. what the u commission hope that this would do is that it would well take a couple of boxes, really, one that it would get investment cash flowing into energy projects to get more energy projects off the ground for to supply much needed energy to the european union. countries also that it would help the european union take some of it or meet some of its climate goals that it's set. now, mary had mcginnis, who's the commissioner in charge of these type of things outlined exactly why they've gone down this route. we need to use all the tools that are disposal to achieve climate neutrality. we putting in place strict conditions for their inclusion. they're subject to clear limits and phase out periods. some will use this instrument and others may not. but whoever invests will be certain that the

product they're investing in should it contain nuclear or gas. they will know, well not everybody is happy with this, but some will start with those likely to be pretty particularly pleased with they saw france and germany will start with paris and swell front generates just over 70 percent of its electricity from the nuclear power. well, they may well just become one of the greenest countries in the european union if this eventually goes through because of their use of nuclear, it's also likely to be quite well received here in berlin. germany does use an awful lot of gas to generate electricity and awful lot of renewables as well. but gas is seen very much, is the bridging fuel as they try and transfer more and more towards renewables. the door string to gas pipelines the much talked about thus infrastructure project between germany in russia looking more and more important. should this plan go through and gas ultimately be designated on that green feel?

we'll see more more investment towards gus in and across the european union. i said not everybody was happy though and heading into the meeting on wednesday, we heard from austria, denmark, sweden, and the netherlands all saying they didn't want to see gas added to the list. there's also a whole host of environmental groups as well, who say this is essentially just moving the gold post to fit what you want to hear and what you want to see. and amongst a little more than green washing. the complimentary delegated act table by the european commission sacrifices the scientific integrity of the taxonomy on the altar of fossil gas and nuclear lobbies. firstly, labeling fossil gas is a sustainable activity is completely incompatible with limiting global warming to $1.00 degrees celsius and with use 2030 climate targets. secondly, even if ignoring the risks of catastrophic nuclear accidents, it is evident that nuclear does not apply to these key principles is it poses

significant environmental and social hazards at all stages of its supply chain. while it's still a few hoops to for this to jump through before it could come in to force. in fact, there was some questions, put the money out. and again, as the commissioner about potential legal challenges from so member states no confirmation or not of yet, but it does helps to go before the lead is of the 27 members of the european union . once it gets passed there, which it looks like it will, it goes to the european parliament where more than half of any piece have to vote in favor of it. right now it does seem like it would squeak by, thus looking at probably quite a few months though before we see these new rules come into place and we see gas for some gas projects and nuclear power labeled as green energy projects by the european union. a day get fox news by the white spokesperson has drawn the ire of america's largest police union gin, saki mach channels coverage as being,

quote from alternative universe. as it focused on u. s. crime rates rather than tensions. broad. so right now, just to give you a sense. so cnn pentagon, as many as 8500 yes. troops on heightened alert. okay, trail. same on m. s and b. c. cnbc is doing their own thing about the market. and then, and fox is janine pier talking about soft on crime consequences. i mean, what does that even mean? right? said there is this alternate universe and some coverage. what scary about it is a lot of people watch that. i think it's wrong, very wrong for miss saki to suggest that violent crime in our country is of no concern or to just laugh it off. she may feel safe in the white house, one of the most protected buildings in the united states. but not everyone feels safe in their workplace pretending violent crimes are part of some other reality will not help victims. miss saki owes them an apology,

or crime rates are only all throughout america. record homicide numbers were reported in a dozen u. s. cities last year. there were 485 murders in new york city and more than 21000 nationwide. robberies are also becoming more common with carjackings in particular up 500 percent last year. r t got the thoughts of new yorkers about the situation. i'm always you know what to my back lord, well i'm no one to go from like right now i'm on my way home. i stay home our own gods. i later and i try not to and if i do a little while to my back, i really have to be careful basically make sure i locked the door or even driving park the car. you have to be careful crime on the subway. the rats on the subway. but affleck room alone, been affected by there was a shooting your by my apartment. not great. well retired police officer, dawn mckay. so told us the white house has been trying to downplay the rise and

crime. i think everything coming from the white house are honestly, it's when the democrats is passive, aggressiveness, i really do think the only people suffering right now are the american people. this everything is going on right now with the downplaying of criminal activity or, or fail reform or anything else. it's coming out of the white house. it's really damaging law enforcement and the citizens are going to hurt in the long run. and i think it's a game they're playing for actually playing with both the cops and the citizens lives in there. and this is an emotional phrasing, and it's meant cause division. it's meant to cause the rotation. it's meant to cause a blame game. the cops are always going to be used as pawns. citizens are going to be demanding more from police to placement, frustration you have this unbelievable hurtful cycle is going to be perpetuated and it's, it's, it's got a stop. this is purposeful. they know that this is just psychological warfare and they plant seeds and they know that a majority of people only listen to sound bites or read headlines, don't read articles, and then they form their opinion off of whatever emotionally triggers them. and you

wind up getting your, your side, if you will. it's like weapon izing people. if you know that there's an emotion out there, you're going to sit there and, and you're going to leverage it. so this is done purposefully. it doesn't matter. gen saki says she doesn't realize that she said it again. she's an extremely intelligent woman. she's been put in a very high position to wind up leading the country with the, by the administration. she knows exactly what she did and it's all being done on purpose. dominic is oh, well, we're all set to crock own with more great programs and moments here on our tea. find out what showing wherever you are today. i'm to the shortest. oh when i was showing wrong, when i was just a shave out disdain, because the african and engagement equals the trail. when so

many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground. ah, i mean, ah no, i'm not sure if that's here. we're going undergrad after a battle. you gay, prime minister for us, johnson tries to save his premiership amidst a visit to ukraine, coming up on the show as boris johnson refuses to resign and continues to fight for his political life. of the findings of number 10,
