6:30 am
since on the families, we can't take it any more. oh i, that'd be the news caused this our headlight from moscow analogy. well, thank you for sharing some of your time with us here on the russian capital. we'll be back with more of your top stories making waves around the world and about half with a one day a wake up probably in 2022. the dollar will have lost 80 percent of its value against other currencies around the world. big point i'll be at $800.00 or $900000.00. a coin, michael sale will be the richest man in the world. and it will all happen very, very quickly. but you know, we've been challenging for 10 years like noah. if you didn't get on the arc by now,
6:31 am
you know, get it over ellen with i'm african retention, you're what you're going underground after a phone call between putin and johnson who the kremlin appears to have characterized as utterly confused coming up the show as u. k. pm bars, johnson, arguably braces for war, both at home and abroad. we analyze a week that is arguably shut a damning light will number 10 antiques, while the donation troops had towards eastern europe to prepare for battle and 24 hours after the paging winter olympics opening ceremony, we investigate whether there will be repercussions for in
6:32 am
a donation. in allied diplomatic boycott, bowlers hm. or coming up in today's going underground at 1st this week you gave pm bars. johnson temporarily escaped from his m p. 's at home and pay to visit ukraine's capital care where he threatened russia with defacto military action and sanctions at one russian soldiers tow cap across the border and ukraine. this is a growing number of british nps score for a new confidence vote on johnson's leadership. after a censored report into alleged criminal government, covered law violations was released this week. joining enough and beckons field in the u. k. is the chairman of the campaign for conservative democracy, john strafford. thank you so much, john. for coming on, i gotta ask the obvious question. he won one of the largest conservative majorities for your party. in recent years. he successfully enabled bricks it so that we were able to get out the european medical agency so that there could be mass vaccination against coven. you're the conservative can pay for conservative democracy is not democratic to get rid of your leaders. it causes democratic. i mean,
6:33 am
that's the whole purpose of democracy is that you can change your leaders, change your crime is to change your government without having to have a bloody revolution. and that's the way it works in the united kingdom. in spite of the fact that we have got false within our democracy, we are able to be critical all our prime minister and our leaders. and that's all to do with free speech. but, but of course it is not just the electorate, it is the m p 's in parliament, but we'll have to say over johnson's fate. yes, and that is one of one of the, the phone lines in the conservative party needs to actually give more accountability within an organization. and by that i mean the following, 1st of all and the good. so the party chairman should be elected by an accountable
6:34 am
to the membership. secondly, they should be proper motions at the concert party conference, and the constituency associations should have the right without interference of selected their own candidates. and by doing this, what will happen is that at a party conference ministers would have to listen to the questions and answer the questions of the party membership. and it is because the parties become so centric controlled that it is lost touch with members. and that means that it then loses touch with the electorate. large a labor body is arguably moving in the other direction. you can compare it with the labor party because it's totally different. a controlled by the trade unions. unfortunately, increasingly, the conservative body has been being controlled by the fact cap bankers and h fund managers. and that's one of the folks in our system at the moment,
6:35 am
but i was unable to deny my denies that. but i just wanna ask you then do you sense on the ground grass roots conservative member supporting what you're saying is i do a website and so a majority of party members want to see or is resign and go. and clearly the voters do as a result of this whole party situation, which is the process. i was brought it permission to ahead as to whether he should stay on it as prime minister. i mean, the reality is it a political problems is urging towards the united kingdom, or is it just sitting there on the beach like in a way? and what has happened is that the people realize that boys may think that each came
6:36 am
to the well. but he's a king with no clothes and in particular, he's got no conservative clothes. and the members of the party realized this and also the voters of real life as well. and what the party members want to see is traditional conservative values in conservative policies. they want to see low tax, a small state, strong on defense, stronger or in order for putting forward freedom, democracy, liberty, and justice. these are traditional conservative values that are, is, johnson is totally a reference to what is i think says to said when he was a child, what do i talk about defense he flew in to give to maybe start a war with russia. i mean, you know, then doing when he didn't blind yet start trying to start with. i mean that,
6:37 am
that's just but you're glad. anyways, you got, you don't think that, you know, because there is a wag the dog to get away from his problems at home. that's why he went to have in the midst of all. now i don't think so. i don't think people see it like that at all. i think the way you trying to show the support for ukrainian government and that was a reasonable thing to do. but i'm, i'm quite happy to same a situation. go ahead. all right, well, i think it, when you train them, what you fail to understand is that within the united kingdom, that there are still family and national memories of the 2nd world war. and i directly affected by that because my father was killed,
6:38 am
it's 8944. and when i was just over a year, so i have no memories of him whatsoever. and that 2nd world war built out by germany gain just today to land and then get it back. yeah. and level chamberlain, the prime minister then try to appease hitler and it didn't work. and your father, your father was fighting on the same side as the russians. obviously, they were kill, you know, seriously comparing vladimir putin who supported b a. u. s. as with hitler, no, no, i'm not, not to talk, but i'm saying that you've got to understand that. and the people in the united kingdom saw the build up to the 2nd world war. and they are very worried when they
6:39 am
see due to having a 100000 troops on the border of ukraine at 20000 in bella, roost. and, well, what i would like to see is much more dialogue between united kingdom and russia. and you quite rightly pointed out, during the se we were com, is that we work together a get rid of it. well, it seems to me that what we should be doing now is 2 things. first of all, i would hope that eventually we could get russia to join nato and become partners within the nato organization. we should be working towards that kind of situation because that's kind of trust that one needs to happen within countries. secondly, it be
6:40 am
a democrat. i believe the people that determine their own future rather than i'm a suspended. so dictators and a water should happen in my view. is it a crimea in the eastern grain and they should be referendums of the people as to what they want for their futures and they defend them should be conducted by international organization to have totally neutral? yeah, i already has, there already has been a referendum already, has been a referendum in crimea. obviously, you know, i would consider a doubt on how that was whether it was greatly conducted. and what i'm saying is that they were international observers. and i should also say, i should also say, of course, nato membership was discussed in 991. but the idea seems to be firmly off the table . i do want to get back to johnson though. why should it be off the table?
6:41 am
well that's where you can reinstall it if we're trying to move forward in the future. they just think kind of thing that should be discussed. yeah, that's what we installed them. it doesn't seem to be having any of that. and of course, the as of battalion in ukraine where we're sending a weapons, is linked to elements that, that would have been on the other side, i think in the 2nd world war. but back to johnson, you're saying he's not, do anything will leave the leveling of announcement to one side because it's very controversial about what the money is. what about the energy decisions that he's making to mitigate energy increase is kind of, i think you've mentioned that in a sense of subsidizing us here to producing companies while subsidizing pro, like green measures. at the same time, it's bad, absolutely madness. we shouldn't be subsidized again, that's not
6:42 am
a conservative approach to them and they should be left to the markets to decide on these issues. and the 00 carbon emissions a mag policy in the united kingdom and the producers at most 2 percent of the carbon dioxide of the world. and the idea that we will affect the temperature in by stopping everything and bankrupting the country and the process he just go nonsense and, and this is where i think that's a good out of touch with. it's a party members, and that's a policy that is going to change. and in addition to which it was announced that all the regulations is he's going to keep it in place in order to pursue the regulations on there that he's absolute madness. and it shows a lack of judgment. in my view, aside from the police investigation,
6:43 am
johnson said that he is pursuing all the alleged fraud that took place during this corona virus pandemic. who do you believe worth, johnson or lord agnew, the counter fraud minister who resigned to the dispatch books claiming that the counter fraud measures are of just just not up to scratch. and i think a very honorable man and i, i trusted 100 percent. i'm afraid i don't have that trust in boris. i'm afraid of the last couple of years. he is lost all trust that i had a survey reported. there is a failure of leadership and judgement in number 10 downing street and i look back to the president jefferson and the u. s. president. when he said that,
6:44 am
when he came to judgment, you had a choice of either believing the professor or the power line. and he would always believe the power because the professor would say on the one hand, is this on the app, is that where's the pounds from the gotten spent from the speech for the people? and i believe the people are the ones who should determine these matters and that way for john strafford, thank you. you're welcome. after the break, we investigate who's playing political games at this he has when drill and big as ne donations disengage from the international community to give raging across the reception. all of them all coming up about 2 of going underground. with in october 1962 in
6:45 am
a period known as the cuban missile crisis united states. and then the soviet union were on the brink of war fast for to february 2022. and the americans and russians find themselves in a similarly perilous situation. this time on the russian ukrainian border will diplomacy as in 1962, be enough to prevent war in 2022. welcome back. it's 24 hours after several major nations and their allies stop the bay. jing winder olympics fire, a diplomatic boycott of its opening ceremony over alleged human rights abuses this days after china celebrated the lunar new year. and as we enter the year of the tiger in the words of son, sue's art of war. unless you enter the tiger's lair, you cannot get hold of the tiger's cubs. could this be symbolic of economic and political repercussions from nato nations,
6:46 am
after the boy got joining me now from new york to someone who has spoken out against the boy gods, ceo of interpersonal intelligence advisory vip just well, thanks so much. you're very for coming on board. johnson's government following jo biden's lead boycotting the olympics, is going to make a big difference. didn't seem to make any big difference to the opening ceremony, not at all. for the simple reason, if you look at the history of the lympics, i mean they have been about 7 to 8 boy got nothing's been achieved, the world in change. if anything, it's ineffective. irrelevant and consequential. you know, you lympics are governed by the i o. c. not china, and these are the playground tactics that presently leadership is trying to you as a strategy. they just have toxic consequences. i mean, you know, this is just a reflection of incompetent leadership. we're not able to negotiate effectively or come to some sort of resolution. i mean, how sad is it for me in my country to be sending our athletes who are at their
6:47 am
prime or performing for our country and not have their leadership with? well, i'll get on to what add to the blanket and your wife and say, and johnson, but even you who are contracted to promote the games. you must be surprised that i way way an opponent of the chinese government to said the west boy good is futile. and pointless. china does not care about it's a tool. china is not auditioning for any one's approval. able don't seem to understand that, but they won't. ready tolerate being disrespected, you know, really in a serious position where they might not forgive and they might not forget. well, i should also say that in the united states, the something called the american values in security and international athletics act and acted by biting on december 27th. 2021 included in the national defense authorization act appears to mandate as reminded by the us foreign relations
6:48 am
committee. the briefing of all us athletes competing in the winter games about the human rights abuses and safety concerns existed to the host nation. i. china. what do you think of all the u. s. athletes having to be educated about the evils of china? are they also being educated about the good of china? and if they have all this concern, why are they sending the athletes to china? flip flop, leadership is only going to lead you down a slippery slope. so all this, you know, a 100 bizarre, that you're giving a history lesson that isn't necessarily balanced. and remember we are guests in the host country. so is it a case of much ado about nothing? i think so. yeah. but in fan, the sporting boy quintillion, south africa against nazi germany, surely were important. shouldn't the chinese government instead of just dismissing
6:49 am
this and saying something that as i say the games they should actively be saying that there is no genocide and jin chang rather than saying don't politicize the games to joe biden, numbers, jones? well, i think the united nations general secretary of saying exactly that of you know, these are the facts. we have 3000 athletes coming in from 90 countries. the united nations secretary general has himself said that, you know, in the spirit of games, let's observe. a truce nbc, in this country, because who have the exclusive broadcasting, right? as an example, they have sold out of their advertising inventory for this whole period of the game . they've secured a 100 advertises, and the, and the, the rates they're charging are higher. this time round, and they were for the 2018 olympics. so in this whole flatulence of, of opinion and hysteria added score. we have the majority of the
6:50 am
world. we want to put aside the differences and maintain the olympics as a global event where nations come together and if they can come together constructively, hopefully it can build relationships constructively, surprised that these countries, usa, australia, canada, denmark, japan, lithuania and britain on saying to boy caught a chinese products of chip say in apple computers and am, i would really amuses me. i am. the irony of it is not last. we have so called smart leaders are using smartphones made in china trying to send out ridiculous messages on some social media platforms. are made in china. ah, it's, it's, like i said, the irony of it is not lost. maybe those chinese companies should have something in those electronic devices to prevent them damaging their businesses. and you know
6:51 am
that a, apparently there will be a lot of teaching of history of china as part of the cultural events that surround the wind to games. he's only a little bit about that because i know that you, you've said that l. so social media will be used in a ever more sophisticated way to tell the world about her about china. you know, my so, oh, we're acting it in an advisory capacity. and our objective is to promote awareness, engagement and excitement of this event for the and, and promote a sort of a good sense of good cheer for the olympic athletes and team usa. we're using social media stars from the genres of food, fashion entrepreneurs and ex olympians using social media platforms like instagram, tick, tock, twitch and you to and really we just, you know, up highlighting the good of this event. but i think it genocide
6:52 am
as a rick scott claims at what he who make, i mean, he hasn't written too big us multinational companies about the fact that they are technically foreign agents. i don't know the selling products made in china. what did you make of the fact he rode to lee editing mobile editor in chief of news week, the chief executive officer of newsweek complaining that you. i mean he didn't say they should ban you from being able to write in a publication. but effectively saying that they should print a warning every time you write for the magazine, i write to bring your attention to a troubling issue with one of the music's contributors. vip jess, while a registered foreign agent readers should be informed or disclaim. mine is biography, his shilling for a genocidal regime. makes me sound like a criminal, isn't it? but the fact is that senator rick scott suffers from
6:53 am
a dereliction and distraction of duty. and i do question its judgment off priorities. considering the, the chair of authority that occupies, i mean, he chose me to be his 1st order of p, our business in 2022. considering that his own state and various issues that they will coping with, like coded and, and a few other things. um, you know, in all of this, i do feel sorry fun because even treated it out and i don't have to criticize him. and of course i'm not being derogatory. i'm really being descriptive and i called him a socks and sandals kind of guy. you know, he treated it out and his followers, i attacked him. i wouldn't say they came to my defense, but the attack and they attacked him on his position on on, on the 6th of jan, the capital riots on the 6th of january attacked him for his position and the
6:54 am
largest medicare fraud in the history of the united states they attacked him when he was deposed how he invoked the 5th amendment 75 times. okay. but he was democratically elected to the senator after that. have medicare fraud fine. i mean, what do you think about taking a job with a country that is routinely, i mean, people go job coverage in january, we have actually challenged the official nato narrative. it's, i'm might see it was it like to work for a country that is a routinely in a donation media accused of, of genocide. well, actually we this contract that i have got to do more with the olympics as a global event. and it's a social outreach campaign. this is not a so called influential campaign that people are projecting it to be. you know, i've been involved in this so called swamp of people giving opinions
6:55 am
like m a chill journalists, professional crones, and one or 2 senile senators. and of course, like i said, you know, i'm not being did all that and being descriptive. i'll give you what i mean, even in an actual genocide, you wouldn't actually take the job from the nazis if the games were in munich and we were back in the 1930 s, no one was so simple as that, but i've received death threats. i've received death wishes i and now you know, i have nothing to hide, everything is filed with the department of justice. it's accessible to it. what i should say. i mean, when you say no, and would, of course, a lot of american companies were involved in that. in the nazi a games in us multinationals, people can read about their history of that. do you think or do you think there is something of joe mccarthy in these attacks on people trying to promote trying to make this winter's games a success in beijing?
6:56 am
oh, absolutely. i mean in my example the people are trying to sabotage and mon marginalize . my, it's but, but to what gain i'm, i'm still confused. say, will it help jo biden's, popularity? obviously, i'm speaking to you from a country where boris johnson is under threat. his leadership, biden's poll ratings are very low. do you think it's her? they see it to their advisor. see it is important to attack other countries as a means of showing them their power on the world stage. only it shows power on the world stage it'll, it'll come and pass like everything else we living in of such a fast, new cycle all at once. once this is over, within a week or even we'll move on. now i'm sure there will be lots of social media tweets showing pictures of the u. s. athletes that lead to around the world. any idea of what the athletes must feel competing in a competition which is being diplomatically boycotted by their own governments?
6:57 am
well, i'm sure they'll feel sad on the day when this, when they see their peers from other countries and then the ship around to support them and they are, you know, on their own. and it doesn't help if they are sort of the so called their education they getting before they go, it only adds the fear and, and it could affect their performance psychologically. so, you know, we should be a part of the united nations under the general sector himself. has said that in let's observe a cruise we should be going with as positive mindset as, as possible. and if i media reports to us that the international community is boy. according this he has went to games of aging. what should which it's of and viewing or listening to that kind of media coverage, i think i guess they'd be intrigued what has want to do with the other
6:58 am
