ah ah, you just come out and say this and expect us to to believe it without you showing a shred of evidence that is actually true. usa department spokespersons grilled by journalists after refusing to provide a shred of evidence for us claims. russia is preparing a false flag attack as a pretext to invade youth. right. 6 children killed mid, heavy fighting in northwest syria, while president biden pales the skill and bravery of the medicine commanders, claiming that they killed the leader of islamic state. at the same time in the same location as the beijing winter olympics get on the way we look at some of the control overseas in the run up to the gate military maneuvers in valley road are

in full swing. and as you can probably see behind my back or is it tang column that is rolling towards it, firing positions, plus joint military exercises between russia and tyler. bruce commands with correspondent reporting from the thick of the act with good morning t. what you know to international appreciate you joining me. russia says that the us state department has invented a creative new scenario. keesing moscow preparing a false flag propaganda operation to justify an invasion of ukraine. the de palma's, press 60 cited unnamed intelligence sources, but gave no further evidence. one possible option the russians are considering and which we made public today, involves the production of propaganda video. a video with graphic scenes of false

explosions, depicting court corpses. crisis actors tend to be mourners and images of destroyed locations or military equipment entirely fabricate, fabricated by russian intelligence. we are not surprised by the new created scenario outline by the press, secretaries of the u. s. department of state and the u. s. department of defense on february, the 3rd about russia's alleged preparation of an operation under a false flag against ukraine. this is typical of the united states. the international community remembers the forgeries, the u. s. use for their military interventions around the world, including the well known vial of colin powell. although the val just referred to that was used as a prop for the u. s. made this case to attack his rank, which the white house claimed was creating chemical weapons claims that later turned out to be unsubstantiated. we want the latest allegations of left, not just the russian side, concerned journalist that the media conference were unimpressed by the lack of evidence. what is the evidence that you had that suggested that the russians are

even planning with matt? and i mean, i'm not saying that they're not, but you just come out and say this and expect those just to believe it without you showing a shred of evidence that it's actually true. other than when i ask, or what anyone else asked what the information you said, well i just gave it to you, which was just you making a statement. we do so we do classify information only when we're confident in that information. if you doubt, if you doubt the credibility of the u. s. government, of the british government, of other governments and want to find solace and information that the russians are putting out. that is, that is for you to do what we now have us intelligence officials who are coming forward and saying that russia is planning to develop a propaganda video. now, the state department spokesperson was pressed on this specific evidence supporting the video claims. ned price said that once the white house is sure this information

is accurate, then they will disclose what evidence they have. now, there has been a barrage of headlines and accusations from western leaders against russia over the last several weeks. and russia has responded with com to many of these allegations . now at this point, we've got kremlin spokesperson dmitri past gob who has pointed out that there had been just been so many claims over the last few weeks and most of them and all of them really have not added up to anything, were turned into anything that could be proven. russian officials have repeatedly rejected allegations of a planned invasion of ukraine as being manufactured hysteria. even kev now says the situation along the border is not as turns as it's portrayed to be by the western mainstream media. we spoke with investigative journalist dave lindell, so says us in simulations of a false flank attack are laughable. i had to laugh when the us,

the spokesman was saying, you know, when we release these intelligence things, we're always, we always wait till we're sure they've released a lot of stuff over the years. and in recent years and months that's been brazenly untrue. and, and that including, you know, during the attempted counter cruise against them, maduro government in venice. well, it poignantly faults from the u. s. intelligence agencies. so for them to say that is just laughable me, while despite the sense of urgency, the white house is trying to create with the false flag allegation at the same time, it's made a point of now stressing russia supposed invasion is no longer deemed imminent. that would imminent is one that's been relentlessly used in the last few weeks. putin has a lot of options available to him. if he wants to further invade ukraine, and he can execute some of those options, eminently the thing, is it getting worse?

when we said it was eminent, it remains imminent. but again, we can't make a prediction of what decision president will make. we said he could invade at any time. that's true. we still don't know these made a decision. you're not describing it. i haven't and over a week the white house, we did not use the word imminent in terms of invasion. is that perspective changeable? so i, i think there's been some confusion around this because we've always been consistent that in so far as we know, vladimir putin has not made a final decision. so until and unless he makes the final decision to date, this will not be imminent. one of the major reasons that jen, saki has had to walk back the word imminent regarding a possible russia they acclaimed russian military invasion of ukraine. so lensky was, i had a press conference at and said that this was counter productive to the interests of

ukraine. it wasn't about to happen. and so i think that the us and the white house looked completely deranged and out of place. and this kind of, this kind of disconnect between the us and its allies, makes for the rest of the world to sit back and, and dos everything that the us is doing. and it makes us look more and more adventurous and reckless. now another news, unicef has said that at least 6 children died, that the time the u. s. conduct to the special operation in northwest syria earlier, president biden said the leader of islamic states had been eliminated by the mission. and the pentagon has acknowledged that at least 3 civilians were killed. is our correspondent, guess if half a dozen children killed as well as 4 woman locals have described these speech

battle that took place at the one a m, just after midnight, syrian thought and lasted for hours and in which, presumably these half a dozen children as well as for women, were killed as well as the leader of isis. a boy, abraham, me al, has she, me, i'll cry issue the 2nd, leave the vices after the death of baghdad in 2019, also the result of an american operation strike against him during that episode. also, a number of children were killed, but in this instance, locals describe how helicopters hovered in the air. soon as i let them in, there were helicopters flying at low altitude, about 4 or 5 aircraft. and then we saw soldiers landing. the soldiers targeted a house near where i live. the house was surrounded, they spoke too loud. speakers telling people to surrender or the house would be destroyed. then the fighting started near or inside the house, but after about an hour,

the helicopter carried out 4 or 5 machine gun attacks on the house. 11 came pamela lewis preparing to go to sleep. and suddenly we heard wind and the sound of helicopters on my end went out to see what was going on. she found the sky totally red. they asked us through the loudspeakers to go out. we didn't at 1st, then we went out. they searched us in hand of my father, they asked for our names and welcome about our neighbor. we said we don't know anything. they asked us to move to the neighboring house and started rating our one to one. and the united states says that he designated a suicide vest, while together with members of his family, we still have new and verified information as to how will these children perish? these are civilians, as well as women, whether it was american missiles fired by helicopters. small arms, far by us, special forces in the ground were indeed at this suicide vest. what we know is that these casualties have occurred. multiple sources of said this, including unicef. unicef confirms that at least 6 children were killed and one girl

was badly injured over night in the border town of at my, in the north west of syria due to heavy violence. this wipe, these are reports of civilian casualties. we have heard a president biden tell audiences about the strike, which he called precise are forces carried out the operation with their signature preparation of precision. and i directly to the department of defense to take every precaution possible to minimize civilian casualties. this information about civilian casualties, while tragic comes at that, especially bad time for, for barden who's administration has been rattled by, by calls for resignations, as well as accountability following the deadly drone strike and have gotten a start in kabul in august when the united states was pulling out, evacuated from afghanistan mer stripe, that killed almost a dozen civilian 7 children. among them there had been calls again for,

for resignations, and for accountability. and just a week ago, lloyd austin, the secretary of defense, had, are ruled, had issued a call for the pentagon to form rules to do more, to prevent collateral damage, will, will civilian casualties. because he says that doesn't represent the values of the united states or it's paddlers. and he called in the pentagon to come up with concrete measures on how the pentagon should conduct war whilst minimizing civilian casualties. we spoke with juliet to mar unisys advocacy and communications chief in the middle east. she told us it's so far and clear how those 6 children died in north west syria. but said that the surgeon fighting is taking a deadly toll. when we have seen an escalation and violence and bad area, what this means is that children pay 1st and they pay most. and if we

compare the number of counties of children during the month of january in comparison to say, december last year, the number is so it's in the higher. and this has been the case since the beginning of the year. and this has got to stop children continue to be the 1st and most to pay in this 11 year long conflict. at least 90 percent of the theory of population lives in public key. and that's start to in comparison to how it used to be before the war began. 11 years ago, the war house car, i've got to come to an end that come conflicts have got to stop. we call all sides and all parties to the conflicts in syria to stop the fighting for the sake of serious children and its future even if the war stops today. the picture is so beak for. busy millions and millions of people among the many children. how,

how can it be, were killing 6 children to the sake of killing, you know, one al qaeda leader apparently slam estate leader who will quickly be replaced by somebody else. now this, this, this is just her ethic and secretary austin tried to come up with new rules to prevent the killing of civilians by force. it's under his command. you know, the united states has been a war and all these countries and the middle east and the greater middle east over 20. yes. you know, what is watches a little bit different today? is you know, that in the last few months we've had a couple of incident where just because of the circumstances the united states has not been able to deny the fact that it kills large enough to

just civilian. and to think that, you know, these couple that we have recently heard about somehow unique in the fact that they killed civilians is, is just to be, would be actually cried. you must the 2022 winter olympics get underway in beijing on friday. but the grey sporting event has been marching control, the c some countries refuse to send diplomats to the opening ceremony with the west, also kissing china, bearing to spy on their fleets. lexia shasky reports from beijing. for decades, the international limbic committee claimed that sports has nothing to do with politics and all the games, all the olympic games absolutely free of politics. but in the case of aging 2022 games, it seems like it's a 3 way abas' where politics, sports and cove it come into one.

now of course, we know about the political boy caught several states and not willing to send their leadership into the opening ceremony of the beijing when to 2022 games. those countries include, of course, the united states, also canada, u. k. and australia jumped in now in the latest news. also, denmark and the netherland refused to send their diplomats to attend the opening ceremony. even the athletes who are going, getting bombarded by the press not to use their phones not to open their mouths and be extremely wary off the fact that they will probably be surveilled upon by the chinese government and summer. even taking a step to 5 bill. any george soros even come tad shooting, being the leader of china to adult hitler saying that these games are

a good chance for him to use his strict control propaganda. just like out of hitler did in 1936 olympics just before the start of the 2nd world war. now let's of course not forget the issue off rushes, but dissipation in these games. russia is not allowed to fly its flag because of the water decision a several years back. in fact, 2022 is the last year that russia can perform at international competitions under a different name on the different flag in this case, just like in tokyo, it will be r o c. and one of the prominent wind to athletes of russia's history, figure skating olympic champion, alix c. u. good in launched an online petition saying that enough is enough that athletes already suffered enough and that the country should be allowed to fly its flag and thing its national anthem in the olympics. the petition has already been signed by more than 40000 people.

anti corporate masses, of course have been pretty strict in the chinese capital, but solar bold, wilco especially compared to the arrival when at the airport the tests were really, really difficult to take, but now every day i leave the hotel, i have to take a p. c, r test and i'm going to show you just exactly how easy it is to make hello the bus. i have to brent is mine station. and now time for some fun fitting in a booth and doing my test. now. that's it. very simple. and pretty much every half hour. this little chap here is traversing across the hotel space, disinfecting the air. everything is pretty much automated here in beijing.

ah, of course i'll be keeping track of everything happening here in beijing for you. alexey. rescue archie reporting from the olympic capital of went to 22 games, beijing in china. thousands of russian soldiers and our belarus for a large scale military exercise, 13 nations off moving to bolster our allied submit tensions with nato in ukraine. our correspondent constantino rosco is at the center the action. ah. while the military maneuvers in valley roads are in full swing and as you can

probably see behind my back, there is a tank column that is rolling towards it, firing positions. now elsewhere on this training ground, which is by the way, located next to the bowers polish border. we're going to see aviation motorized, infantry units para, traverse. so all in all there's going to be a pretty intensive action pag day, both for rushes and valor. bruce's military. now, this is a combat readiness task of a joint. russian, val, russian task force, the military se their main goal here is to see how quickly they can deploy compet unit. valerie, send secure, keep infrastructure as well as valor versus land border and air space is reported that trial russian asked you 35 fire jazz long with a number of air defense complexes, including asked 400 triumph, have been sent to valor is from russia to support these exercises now the number of troops involved doesn't require the 2 countries to notify other nations that

russian defense minister surg assure you. however, russia did let everyone know including native members about the exercises in advance as a gesture of good will. now, minister sugars visit valor is today. he has already had a meeting with his bell russian counterpart as well as with the country president, alexander lucas shank, of both agree to deepen the military cooperation between moscow. athens now the most active part of the exercises between russia and baller. bruce is expected from february 10th to february 20th. that's one. drills are going to be health cross 5 training facilities and for air basis and valor. bruce puncture reading the message of the united font of moscow and minsk in troubling ties. moscow has banned the broadcast of germany's deutsch avella in russia. it's one of the retaliatory measures taken against berlin after germany's media regulator,

blocked off sister channel r t. d. russia is drawing up a list of representatives, estates, and public structures in germany involved in restricting the broadcast of r t d and putting pressure on the russian media outlet who will be denied entry to the russian federation. the response against germany includes the closure of the russian deutsch, avella, bureau, and the reputation of accreditation. of all the outlets. journalist, the channels broadcast, has been bound the trustful platforms in russia, or the recognition of deutsch avella, as a foreign agent, is being initiated. also, russia's foreign ministry will blacklist all those who were involved in r t. d 's. but a few days ago, germany slapped a broadcast band on anti di saying that they'd like the right broadcasting license to operate in the states and europe in law. but these disputes not saying the pivot

it obtained in serbia meets all requirements. meanwhile, archie franz is also facing a challenge of sister channels. broadcast is reportedly under investigation by the french media regulator. anti france is trying to establish if that's really the case and says that would amount to censorship on to charlotte davis get reports from the french capital. artie from caesar in the cross has of the audio visual and digital communications regulator hearing from stacy's all come now this was something that was put out in a magazine article. the magazines cool challenges, halem, france and in it it alleges that all come is about to start looking at how r t phones are sister channel here, has treated several subjects since it's starting food costing the subjects in the yellow best protests. so, so story is from syria and stories from central africa, all pretty sensitive topics in the country at the moment. now they have to be in

any official confirmation from all come about. all he fancies self says it hasn't received any notification. this is about to happen, but we have had reaction to that from the head of the channel. according to the challenges website, the french media regulator, all com has opened a probe into our tea, france. perfect timing, right off to the situation with all tv. if it is confirmed that the regulator is investigating sensitive topics concerning associations, let's welcome a new world of censorship. she went on to refute that they have been complaints against the channel and said that there was one issue that was dealt with by the csc, which is the old regulator. what is interesting is this a parent did get the channel comes with a very crucial time. here in france, we just 2 months now before the presidential elections take place. and we know that mac called president microns party is extremely concerned about what they've

described, spin foreign digital interference and misinformation ahead of those elections. artie france and aussie international selves here, i've actually been denied entry to the least a polished a couple press conferences to be able to question the governmental decisions that are made as we get closer and closer. said she, that presidential election, there are likely to be more attacks on our channel simply for doing what we do. and that is questioning more. who we spoke to independent journalist luke revised, who said that the french government has long been irritated by the work of our friends. it was clear from the very beginning of our t and other russia, media and cross that they were not liked by president mccord. all and don't use them for producing fake news. while it's funny, when you see the number of fake news produced by the french traditional price r t covered the show strikes,

the yellow fest so well that it really annoyed the power because people lost their i, in the combat with the police, police was fairly brutal in certain estimates and it was shown by the russian we hear better, more, more efficiently than the french media. deutsch. valid is also, especially for you to know when they speak about gas and dependents of germany. a ball, russian gas that should not continue all. and what would be the replacement of american gas? wonderful, thanks, georgia for your information. you know, so it's, it's the same thing as the same tricks. it doesn't work. you know, we should stop doing this. we should let the, the media media such as r, t, n d, american media and all of us speak up and the citizens can make their own opinion. that's the moscow is the best metropolis

in the world in terms of quality of life and level of inch, infrastructure development, if you are to believe the un urban prosperity index. auntie saskia taylor takes us on a tour of the russian capital. ah, welcome to moscow. the best city on earth as a famous sophia song goes, okay, okay, fine sod, best according to you when ah, it was truck took a huge downtown in the report, and there was no battery called the why then the met choice, the busiest in europe. it's amazing combination of convenience and beauty. now this why here that you might look station, not keen on us filming inside, but trust me, it's like a bull room downstairs. it's got multiple columns. i'm chandeliers. so it does make

the morning commute a bit less of a grind. a friend once visited me and looking up through this, the most iconic wall in the whole country, she said to me, which shot in france. and we have electricity to in much, it's not just the choice, the level of subs who's unlike anything i've seen. i've lived in london, hong kong, most shops are open until 10 pm, some even later, many food shops of 27. when moscow did beat out all of the competition was in quality of light, meaning medical, cab, education, public spaces, safety and culture. no full culture, most tourist will probably only think of these famous centuries old bal soy theatre . did you know. 6 that in moscow, there are over 170 theaters on pre potomac coffee, 40000000 thea,

to visit on you late. no, roughly, that means that every single moscow resident went to see a pe you'll come said 4 times a year, floyd or not. we don't survive on bush unfortunate. this area right here is the capitals restaurant. mecca might not look like much, but then again, it is a pretty chilly weekday. come here on a friday in july and you won't be able to move. so no arms guns stood, don't roam the streets, the buzz generally stick to siberia and it's not all grey and crumbling. moscow is now it's colorful, it's full of energy, but then there are quiet moments like this too. it's a city that never sleeps and now it is official, one of the best in the world. but don't just take my word for it. come and see if yourselves i didn't seek myself. it's all right. okay, you're up to date one use in huffing him.

ah, with your challenge, did i get a better than me for geography nutrition too, but john, the mute issue and send the sub boshoway shakeelah. hi sharon, i'm wish wish rob lee with me. i sure. yeah. that it's lacroix, this is judy woodruff. she been wholesale and kelly recording court and i renewed my fraternity issue of that 1000 couple. i'm good and keep to i learned that to me for she gave us and i must be happy. i could fatima sat mother, you know,

if that you can think of that no, cuz he asked him you me actually a potential push him on with my son the money that i can live with . oh, when i want something wrong, when i just don't move any world just to shape out. disdain becomes the attitude and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah.
