that we miss live with with western media abandon the principle of leaving politics all to support with war mongering. common free coming to the fall is that beijing winter olympics kick off. also i had on the program you just come out and say this expect it to believe it. without you showing a shred of evidence that it's actually true. the u. s. state department spokesperson is grilled by journalist or failing to provide evidence for inflation . if you had claimed the russians preparing a full flag, it is a pretext to invade ukraine. also on the program crowd funding site to go to delete the donation page in support of the truck is unseen vaccine monday, protesting canada. the platform claims that the movement is no longer peaceful. while the spokesman for the freedom convoy laid the media's negative coverage of

the movement. the faith new c. b. c is telling us well the pilot truckers nobody supporting us. yeah. why don't you see come down to the soup kitchen and try to feed some homeless people or help us clean the war memorial? right with it's 5 am on saturday in moscow. my name is peter scott, and wherever you join is from welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis here in arkansas national the 2022 beijing winter olympic games is officially kicked off with the opening ceremony on friday, marking the starts of the event. but rather than celebrate the global sporting spectacle, which brings together some of the best athletes on the planet, western common states a seem to want to talk, war and politics instead. russia has a mass more than a 100000 troops on 3 sides of ukraine. us officials have threatened severe

sanctions if russia makes them move. those specially in the light of almost bar call them please to the media and everyone involved to stay away from politics during the 4th. particularly in respect to athletes, participating in this games. these calls have been disregarded by some media outlets with a clear hyping up of the war attempts for war and escalating political situation in ukraine. even before the opening ceremony was over, several pundits ran the headlines. something like a limbic war games seems that the entire focus is on the political situation. in light of the crisis in ukraine, journalists representing western media out. that's also a skilled t jokes online. during the opening ceremony politics and olympics and avoidable these days, it seems and we of course, no political boy caught from a number of states like us, canada, australia and the united kingdom in light of what they called,

genocide against population of seen john province. there were even headlines like genocide games as well, and even fun parts of the beijing olympics, like robotic devices, robotic serving drinks and food. here at the press center in beijing are branded by some media outlets as dystopian. we like to think that at a time in the world comes together, drops the politics and we celebrate the athletes. the people worked so hard to be there for the app themselves. we imagine that they would want to be focused on their sports on, on winning metals and doing the best they can and to represent their country. but inevitably, there are going to be politics that sneak into the games, you know, and here we have the media in the united states. wanting to do really drive that home. we really want to create tensions between the ukraine and russia, wanting to insert the united states into that. that's just what american media does . all this comes from wanting to hype up the conflicts or the losing conflict,

as they want to say in ukraine, and to distract from what's happening in this country. what do they do? well, let's start talking about world war 3. let's start talking about going to war with russia. that is something that can certainly distract from the failures. it's happening in this country. and the media is very happy to do that for the administration. adding a little more fuel to the fire is the fact that i o. c has recently lightened it's rules when it comes to expressing political views during the olympics. previously, athletes were completely banned from doing it. now they're only banned from doing a during metal ceremony, but they are free to do it in the field a flight, unless it interferes with the actual process of sport. so we are in probably for a rollercoaster ride of olympics here and i'm here to cover everything and i will bring you all the latest updates as i get it in beijing. alexi rush,

s t r t reporting from aging. and while we're on the subject of media war mongering, the british tabloid, the son has published a story on what it calls ukraine's deadliest female sniper is accompanied by on verified footage of her allegedly murdering what she calls russian separatists in the video. she says she'll quote, without hesitation and remorse till again if fruits and invades ukraine. now, even though she believes an invasion will not be ordered, she apparently thinks russia's true build up on russian soil is pressure and intimidation. now we discussed this issue with former us marine corps analysts, scott ritter and he thinks the sons reports glorifies killing. well, there's no doubt it was published to set up an agenda, and that is to to cheap and russian life and to glorify the taking of russian life if you want to avoid war. and i would hope that all parties that are involved

in the current crisis want to avoid conflict. you should be extraordinarily transparent about the reality of war and in the, in the cost of war, and not seek to glamorize or glorify, you know, killing. unfortunately, the vast majority of people who read the newspaper and you know, they, they take it at face value. this is, this is simple propaganda, pure and simple. it's about your shaping a public narrative versus accused. washington is making things up again, not after the u. s. alleged moscow was preparing a full flag open ukraine to create a pretext for an invasion. now the lack of evidence for the latest claim has left some journalist scratching their heads as all the stuff gets, taylor reports. fuss, they promised a new yet invasion. then they said it was too muddy for tanks and the criminal was holding off until the ground froze. then they decided that an invasion was indeed, imminent. putin as

a lot of options available to him. if he wants to further invade ukraine, and he can execute some of those options imminently, when we said it was imminent, it remains imminent. but again, we can't make a prediction of what decision president putin will make. then after some thought, no, actually it wasn't. 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 in over a week. the white house, notably, did not use the word imminent in terms of invasion. is that prospective change at all? so i, i think there's been some confusion around us because we've always been consistent that i, in so far as we know, vladimir putin has not made a final decision. so until and unless he makes a final decision to invade, this will not be imminent though. law may cuz on the hill apparently didn't get the memo. it seems the u. s. just can't make up its mind on russia's plan to take you crane. despite people on the ground, they're telling them to lay off the hysteria. there are signals even from respected

leaders of states. they just say that to morrow, there will be war. this is panic. how much does it cost for our state? but as is tradition, america has decided it knows that so what's going on in far away lands and how can it not panic when there's no hard evidence proving that russia's new pine is to make a film complete with st. corpses, mourners and nato drones. as a pretext for this imminent, but not quite invasion. what is the evidence that you have that suggested that the russians are even planning with matt? 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. all of them. when i asked or what anyone else us, what the information you said, why just gave it to you, which was just you making a statement. we do so we declassify 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 wanna, you know, find solace and information that the russians are putting out. that is, that is for you to do. now as part of the build up to the u. s. is release of moscow's epic block buster washington's been promising for weeks that the russians are up to something a bit special. the irony of the u. s. state department talking of fabrications is palpable. we are not surprised by the new creative scenario outlined by the press secretaries of the u. s. department 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 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 calling poll. oh, yes, we, when man, by the u. s. is backed up by solid evidence pretext to invade to rock and the subsequent north of almost 200000 civilian lives. but do we also remember how and

why the why house paid a p. r firm over $500000000.00? back in 2016. the work consist of the 3 types of products. the 1st was television commercials portraying al qaeda in a negative light. the 2nd was news items which were made to look as if they had been created by a big tv. the 3rd and most sensitive program was the production of fake al qaeda propaganda. films u. s. marines would take the cd on patrol and drop them in the chaos when they rated targets. yes, net price at the state department would know exactly what a false flag operation looks like for the war hawks in d. c. though it's not even the thought of a possibly eminent war that keeps them up at night. no, it's not. they won't manage to get best sanctions in a row before it possibly starts. i am concerned that mister putin's time table is

different than ours, and he may well move before we can get this done. meanwhile, news of the cremins hollywood debut has provided next an opportunity for the u. k. and the u. s. is special relationship to evolve. turns out they've got a lot more in common than they thought, because biden would much rather talk about ukraine in the context of russian aggression than in the context of laptops, cocaine, nepotism, and abuse of power. and burress. while boasting comes a lot easier to bow than apologizing for a legal booth ups at number 10, i think if you look at what we've been doing for the last 2 or 3 months, the u. k has been way out in front, in making sure that people respond. yes, the ukraine crisis has been kind to them both heaping us spiraling ratings in the shadows. what did they say? never let a good crisis go to waste false flag or knobs. britons are being asked yet again to dig deeper into their pockets energy bills for

u. k. households as sets it increased by an average of $700.00 pounds a year. thus, after the national regulates lifted, a price cap is raised, the space of mass fuel poverty. and it comes at the time when energy firms are cashing. in or near record, high prices are, sees sharia was dusty, picks up the story. if the eating or hating dilemma wasn't bad enough, people in britain and i worry, they might not be able to do either. that says the energy price capital rise by 54 percent in april to just shy of 2000 pounds. of course it worries me because you know, as a worker and government worker, we don't have enough salary. and if this is another increase, this another burden think we're paying too much for our energy. i can't imagine me like a risk choosing between feeding myself and my family or heating tens of millions of households will face paying 693 pounds more making bills almost double what they

were just a year ago. the changes will have a chilling effect on people's finances, so the government has unveiled a support package. but what we can do is take the sting out of a significant price shop for millions of families by making sure that increase in prices it's smaller initially and spread over a longer period. as we come out of coal, we face a real cost of living, crunch, particularly in energy. and the government has to help people. so what richie has announced is a 9000000000 pound package to help people with the cost of their energy. and then $27000000.00 households will benefit from a council tax rebate with $150.00 pounds and then a $200.00 pound loan on top of that. and while that may sound reasonable, it's actually somewhat limited. so next bargain includes a discount on pills worth $200.00 pounds, only. it's not a freebie,

it will have to be repaid and 40 pounds installment because we know the bill is going up by more than $200.00 pounds. so it's going to make some difference. and let's say find other mechanism not for this needs to be at least one, just 500 the regulators calculation is based on soar and gas prices due to a high global demand. the brits are paying for it, only this. you can, gas exports have doubled in a year. it will probably come as a surprise to many people that when gas as i watering the expensive gas exports from britain to the continent have been unusually high. the reason is very simple. the gas doesn't belong to britain or the british people, it's extracted by commercial companies that sell to the highest bidder. wherever that may be, even if brits are in dire need, actually the energy cap announcement came on the same day as show was celebrating, a 14 fold rise and profit amid soaring prices for gas with shareholders lining up

for a bumper pay day. 2021 was a momentous year for show. well, the energy price cap may lead you to believe there's some sort of deficit. actually, the market is so lucrative. the government hasn't wasted a moment yet another oil feel to be approved. meanwhile, the energy companies don't even have to pay a wind full tax. so the price caps, or $693.00 pounds for dual fuel homes to 1971 pounds, making energy on affordable to millions. why the hell isn't the government considering the windfall tax on runaway north c profits? he's not asking the oil and gas companies who are making the most of all this to pay a single penny towards this needs to be addressed and the government should with this. so much harder to unfold. i think when companies are given the choice of making money they gave to to that, well,

it seems like force jones from it just feels would be cheaper post breaks. it was just smoke and mirrors because to the poor in the u. k, the cost of living sweet is as bad as fit, although the worst is yet to come. charge edwards dusty, ot london and it's not just energy bills going through the roof in the u. k. overall, inflation is it's a 30 year high newspapers, a rounding on the conservative government, and apparently so the prime ministers own aids with $500.00 their resignations. in short succession. we spoke with angus mcneil from the scottish national party and he believed the right things on the wall for the p. but it sounds like it rewarded docs back. unfortunately for by this johnson, the doubles of the to any party of this is sort of the guy used to tell them about maybe topping up a little bit and finding their spine. so i think the letter should be going in the feeling that more pronounced it over the last 20 for 48 hours,

a lot of jones's time his number, and he's really hitting the nail into is already well male coughing for us. johnson is no wonder he's in some tea things all the time. not least, of course, but it's not really very good for, for people in the u. k. just came out of a digital must be at cooper universal, connecticut's national, and students raises that food and energy prices. boone up. there's a lot of issues of that and but as johnson is a distraction to all these big issues, ah canadian truckers protesting against a cove it back to the mandates have partially lifted a blockade of some us border crossings. the processes have opened up one lane in each direction and the main border checkpoints in alberta, they part of the so name to freedom convoys, funding, canada, falling pressure on the government to eat cobra restrictions. no around 15 percent of canadian truckers, unvaccinated and undercurrent rules. they require

a quarantine for 2 weeks after arriving back from the us. meanwhile, south to the board. it shook as if sets up a facebook page in solidarity with canadian colleagues, although it was swiftly blocked shantelle bachman, the canadian facebook page administrator for freedom convoy has given her to take on dots. jeremy, why did facebook take down your page? mm hm. so for sure that it's minus the censorship out here is absolutely unbelievable that the mainstream media here does not tell the real story of what is going on. when it came down to the facebook page. there was probably, i'm one of the 10 admins for the page. we all said moderators, but for the admins, i got my facebook page, not only it's not on, i'm not in jail, a facebook job, i'm permanently deleted. i cannot access facebook on my phone. i tried to create a new account. i did, it's like they're tracking my phone and we never incited anything but peace and

unity. and we just want to like to have a saying, what's going on on this, not just facebook, the go phone to me. websites has deleted the convoy trucker fund after the past $10000000.00 canadian dollars, a number which was raised in just a few weeks. now go for me 1st, put the campaign on the review before coming to the conclusion that he promoted violence. gofundme me supports peaceful protests and we believe that was the intention of the freedom convoy 2022 fundraising want to expose created. we now have evidence from law enforcement that the previously peaceful demonstration has become an occupation with police reports of violence and other unlawful activity. i'm no, sorry, we're at the point where i think we have the morale of the community. we as a police had indicated to us on the ground that we have been shockingly peaceful. not that's the word that a couple of cops used with shocking that this many people can get together and be

peaceful. and because of that, they are now viewing, as we're told they're viewing it as a political problem that politicians need to solve and they're not going to step in the line of fire. and i use that, that term just vague. i don't mean specifically because that will never happen, but they're not going to step in the way of a peaceful protests for people that are engaging in the community and helping to feed the homeless. well, that was freedom convoy v p and spokesperson b. j. big to speaking earlier, the other end of the spectrum, media coverage, both domestically and internationally, has been largely negative with headlines, accusing truckers of paralyzing the capital. and locals of being afraid to guard side with his criticism. haven't phase the freedom convoy with the vice president again, st truckers resolve is unwavering. we have all the time in the world. you know people ask me, how long are you going to stay here and i respond. i don't know 20242026. however

long it takes to remove these mandates and these passports. so i think i think it's silly what they're doing, quite frankly, because it's the easiest to win in the world. trudeau can come out and be a hero, or at least claim to be a hero. you know how, by listening to the people by saying the united kingdom denmark, many other countries have removed their restrictions. they've removed their passports, like in the case of israel, removed their passports as well as they can come out and say, you know what? you're right. it went on a little bit too long. we were, we thought we were following the science, but you know, the fog of war getting the right data. it's, it's confusing. we thought we did our best, but canadians want their freedom. and you know what i is justin should oh, i'm going to grant them their freedom as their leader. that's what a leader does. and i think it's only a matter of time until he does that. and now across the border in america,

the us national security agency has been breaking its own rules to spawn americans . and that's according to the organization's own internal watchdog. in a report released on monday, the inspect the general found that the end, if they had abused a controversial law. the foreign intelligence surveillance i'ts allows the government to intercept communications between foreign nationals anywhere in the world and without a warrant snooping on americans without the warrant is forbidden, though, unless quote, a query is reasonably likely to return a foreign intelligence information. the report concludes that the loophole has been abused in many cases with internal rules bypassed. and if they whistleblower edward snowden says the practice has been going on for years. this has happened year after year since the program began. every couple years. there is a new report documenting how either an essay or f b. i violate the law routinely and how they spy on americans. but for some reason,

those who claim to be so devoted to the rule of law don't seem to mind. william been a the original an essay whistleblower who spent 30 years at the agency. he says the different government organizations have access to the information stored by the n. a say. the problem is they're only talking about an essay analyst use of that data . they're not talking about the f, b i c a d o j state department, or anybody else's use of that data, including the i r s, who also have access to all the collection that's stored by in a say. and that's really where the violations come in. in terms of looking at u. s . u. s. communications, not just small parts, but all that, almost all of it. boon e mail networks, skype and you know, chatter, texting all, it's all stored in. so anybody can come in at b, i can come in and look at it and do wary and, and i say, don't even talk about that. i would point out also this to hop principle that they

talk about, that is i communicate with you and you come to somebody else than there is. if i'm involved a night, they can look out to hops, where if you're involved, they can look through you. so what it means is, if you contact google, for example, and you know about approximately a 1000000 people every day, look at google. so that's, that's almost in a couple of days, you have the whole planet. so for 2 hops, that means they can look at anybody in the world so that it's just the word game with them and they're playing this game behind the scenes in secret, behind the secret doors and the courts. they have no idea. they're just stupid. they don't have any idea what's going on or either there are, they don't want to face it. facebook user base is shrinking for the 1st time ever. on this puts a dumbed on the company's ambitious plans for a so called mess averse donnie armstrong has more on that story. losing login uses for the 1st time in their history to the tune of 500000 fewer loggins every day.

that's according to the company's own reports that were published on wednesday for the last 3 months of 2021 or the break that down into figures. it's to $1930000000.00 logins per day. you know, even though that is around a quarter of the entire will population, it has precipitated a plummet in share to the tune of 26 percent. and his wife, $200000000000.00 worth of the facebook parent company. mesa, which of course owns instagram and what's up and he's headed by the facebook. c o found the increase amongst a big now market big has seen a hit to his personal wealth, to the tune of around $29000000000.00. now for a man who's with close to $107000000000.00, that's going to affect him as much as lossless change is going to affect me and you look a bit because come up with his own excuses as regards to decline. he says it correlates with the rising popularity of tick tock. he's also blamed apples privacy changes. that's something that's going to cause facebook around $10000000.00 per year,

or something that they've fought for months. it gives, uses the choice to stop facebook keeping tabs on the online movement book that has been a little bit of scrutiny as to whether these excuses stand up from the cubic. of course these, these figures, capital of a terrible 2021 for facebook, has been my it in controversy and scandal. the last few months to 2021 is also when the facebook, former employee and whistleblower fancies, how can release thousands of harmful documents calling for external supervision. after alleging facebook with ignoring get obligations to do something about the negative effects, it has on mental health in teens and failing to sensor is a speech. and there needs to be a regulatory home, or someone like me could do a tour of duty after working at a place like this. and have a place to work on things like regulation to bring that information out to the oversight boards that have the right to do oversight, regulatory agency within the federal government. yes. now,

the democrats latso up here how guns demands, mainly because they fell conveniently in line with their own grievances against big tech. but they faced but was also bashed from the republicans that was because they thought they're going against free speech by banning prominent political figures. namely, for me, you as president donald trump, look a book has rubbish that idea. he said that it's a convenient excuse. it's a calculated effort to tarnish his company with, but it also led to him re branding facebook. you want to keep up to date with his story. he took r t dot com, incidentally on facebook, twitter, and instagram as well. where we spoke with podcast host and political commentator, justin roberts, young. and he thinks the methods used by facebook to get people hot or just no longer working, 98 percent of how facebook makes money. and now meta makes money is by facebook ads to prioritize there being as much real estate as possible,

meaning that you are staying on the site for as long as you can. they are prioritized controversial posts as opposed to post that might make people feel good about being on their platform. that's great when everything is, is booming, you continue to make sure that you are able to sell as many ads as possible because there are more eyeballs on your site. but i do think that it is hit a wall in terms of people just not enjoying their time on facebook. it's where you fight with your family, which is not a great brand. but then again, for mark zuckerberg, we only had a basic idea of what social networking would look like and how it would be profitable. at the time that he invented facebook. that being said, this feels to me like a mid life crisis for a company that is old. it's out of touch with the younger user base and has done everything. it can to protect its golden goose, which is advertising. in the face of a lot of challenges on talking a facebook, why not lie? can subscribe to the asi page the or simply check it out for more stories. my name

is peter scott, and i'll be back again in 30 minutes with the rundown of the headlines. ah, one day a wake up probably in 2022. the dollar will have lost 80 percent of its value against other currencies around the world. the coin will be at $800.00 or $900000.00, a coin, michael sal, and will be the richest man in the world. and it will all happen very, very quickly. but you know, we've been telling you for 10 years like noah, if you didn't get on the line now, you know, rolon. humanity always wants the impossible. they 1st day a face of the government. it's probably you government be they say similar to any asleep or please don't patch my my pride with my phone back to my business bonfires, my freedom, and this is an impossible contradiction. your challenge and i get the
