then at the bottom of the level, i guess it might be used in the senate, in buddhism, producing wilkins with the stories that shaped the weak aeronautics international. russia shuts down the moscow office of german broadcast, at deutsch avella of the berlin block. sauce sister channel t t e. rules are apparently not for everyone. and australian curling team player is allowed to compete in the beijing winter olympics. so a lot of stories making waves around the world this week, let's pick out some of our favorites here with ortiz weekly program. la germany's media regulated this week of band dotty's sister channel r t t e, across all platforms. in retaliation,

russia shut down the moscow bureau of german broadcast, at deutsch avella, the foreign ministry warning of further measures, a correspondent on a quote that takes a very good look. it was this week's a biggest violation of freedom of the press. in germany. the country's top media regulator took r t d. e's broadcast off the air on the internet via satellite social media. absolutely everywhere. the required media, low license was not available. the organisation and distribution of the tv program by a live stream on the internet for the mobile and smart tv up archie, news, and via satellite miss death will be discontinued. what was russia left to do, but to respond and kind, deutsche evello was told its offices in russia will be shut down. it's journalists press accreditation, revoked, and it's russian language broadcasts taken off the air on top of all that a blacklist was declared to include every one complicit in this enormous censorship campaign against r t. russia is drawing up

a list of representatives of states and public stretches in germany, involved in the streets in the broadcast of all t d and putting pressure on the russian media outlets will be denied entry to the russian federation. moscow promise. this was just the 1st stage of measures that it was willing to take after all this r t d e ban is only the latest episode and a drawn out pressure campaign that's been aimed at obstructing r t from broadcasting in germany. sure, the government denies playing any role in all this, but it's done nothing about the fact that a number of banks won't do business with our channel or that the country's top media regulator seems unwilling to even reach a compromise. that's all despite r t holding a legal european broadcast license. i t t e was licensed in serbia under the european convention of trans frontier television i t t e came back cost is programs in 73 european countries, including germany. archie can still appeal the decision, but how much good will that do at this point? almost immediately after r t d e created a youtube account,

the platform deleted it. when it tried to broadcast over satellite, the signal was so poor. people couldn't even to an in german officials have even labeled our german language channel. an irritant. it's not difficult to imagine that these problems were deliberately set up to impede r t d e's success, which i know about the closure of bank accounts and so on is a large number of tactics they using say all t d cons operate, they're infringing on freedom of speech, and that's very bad. and yet berlin's acting like moscow took these measures out of the blue r g d is currently broadcasting without license and the channel has not applied for license. the german state media officers decision was based on this. this is a completely different situation to deutsch velez. his license has been revoked. perhaps if this was the 1st time or even maybe the 2nd time r t was obstructed from broadcasting. one might say russia overreacted, but r t d e was entirely banned from broadcasting in germany,

and that is no small step in the wrong direction. we spoke to the film director of molten traffic. he says, the ban on our tv is aimed at silencing those who challenge mainstream narratives in the western hemisphere. so much, or what comes up the russia is viewed with such suspicion. because that, that creates a worldview where a lot of people are missing out on potentially valuable corrections or, or alternative viewpoints to look at the big tech giants who are already censoring, sometimes in very bizarre ways, statements or viewpoints that are supposedly unacceptable. it's just a part of a general trend toward a q rated or controlled media world, or this is obviously, i think,

connected to the prevailing political situation not least connected to ukraine. i would suspect it's day 2 of the beijing winter games and australia has one is 1st of a little bit curling event despite a team member testing positive. a copay on saturday, a correspondent lexia shasky reports from the host city winter olympics are continuing in the chinese capital bay jing and we may have a 1st scandal of big proportions he involving australian curling team. now on saturday night, one of the team members attack lea gill was tested positive for cove it. however, on sunday morning, the chinese authority said that she was cleared to participate in the competition while observing close contact rules. while looking at curling and the way this game is played, you cannot imagine any way that this is free of any close contacts. gill herself

was probably very surprised to hear the news already admitting she was heart broken . and the official explanation from the chinese authorities was that her copied readings wore too low, and that's why she was allowed to participate. i had a look at how this was actually happening. and obviously gill had no mask on whatsoever. and move like that would seem as a very hot warming gesture from the health authorities to allow athletes with low symptoms of coffee 19 to participate in the games. had it not been for multiple hot breaking stories involving many athletes from across the planet who had been preparing for the games for, for yes. tested positive upon arrival and were forced to miss out on the olympics here in bay jing such as the case off a russian by athlete west had salva, who was immediately taken into isolation upon arrival, having tested positive for cove, it and just a few days back she put a post on instagram describing horrible conditions as she described it. she has

been captain. on top of that, there are many cases involving colleagues of mine, journalists who have also tested positive and been locked away. and even more so those who were on the same plane with them and were sat next to them despite testing negative, are also put into mordor itself. isolation, just to remind you that all of us here are living in a bubble that we are be allowed to be inside the hotels and at olympic. venues were not allowed to go into the city. but with all these new regulations and rules imposed by the chinese authorities, all this seems like an unnecessary requirement for us here. why are we supposed to be in a bubble when people lie, gill, are allowed to participate despite having tested positive for corporate or at least it's not all that sour for many athletes winning golds and fill. there's already that is the case of alexandra bush and off of the russian olympic committee team who managed to win gold in the sky race. and that is the 1st gold for the r o c

team here in beijing. of course i'm keeping you updated with everything happening here in the chinese capital electra, the rti reporting from beijing and china among the top stories of the week. or we'll see a veteran report, a crushed with a u. s. state department spokesperson, as the officials fail to back up the claim with any evidence that rushes, apparently planning a false flag operation to justify a war with ukraine. what is the evidence that you had 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 they expect us 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 with moscow meantime. so it is not surprised by the accusations saying it hawks, back to 2003 when the us made false claims of a rocky weapons of mass destruction. meanwhile, the full text of the confidential us nato response to russia. security concerns has, has, of course been leaked. it was published by the spanish paper, alpine east and later confirmed as authentic by washington and my colleagues. saskia taylor and neal harvey discussed the contents 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 hasn't managed to get its hands on the nato and us response to russia. security proposals now will remember those proposals they were sent back in december. they sent triggered a flurry of diplomatic talks and calls, and essentially they requested legal guarantees restricting, farther nato expansion, specifically with regards to ukraine. the document that we're seeing now though, reveals a very blunt response from washington, brussels, and it's in all 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 and person warning. but this is a very reckless disregard of russia's concerns. it's not well for help because don't people realize that this could potentially set all nations involved down a very dangerous path of no return assistance. because when you much listen carefully to what i say in ukraine's own doc, try no documents. it is written that they plan to return crimea, including by military means that it's not what they say publicly. you imagine for yourself that ukraine in nature members will begin military operations in crimea. what do we do? go to war with the nato block? has anyone thoughts about that going on? so the situation is, 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 must have already sent,

follow up questions to this document. so clearly 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 thought is not what's being disputed. here. the issue is when countries choices have ramifications beyond its borders and actually post 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 in that area. michelle, which is ignoring our concerns, the u. s. and need to refer to the right 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, of the state. so the watson leaders asking, why must we start profile 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 nato office here and moscow discussing arms control. so reducing missile deployment to ukraine. but if we get to the bottom of it, let's be blown. 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 going to 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 fundamental 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. according to political analysts, chris banbury, he told us that nato has gone from being a defensive block to being an aggressive one. now listen to the room. here is the question of need to expansion and not document tries to avoid the fact that a promise was made to me can go over to my head. i said it was a promise made by the americans to be no need to expansion into eastern europe and former soviet republics. that promise which no, the americans are trying to deny that for me, or they just said above all bottle promises that has obviously been broken. i don't this need to in the west simply point hardball by saying that it can be obtained is open to a policy towards you create not as a c inside as a saying that it's unlikely that ukraine will ever be allowed to join natal bought the appointment hardball,

which seems to me an aggressive policy in relation to the russia. they expansion in eastern europe, expansion into the former soviet republics is a long way for being a defensive warms based on the north atlantic. so these role is fundamentally change and has become an aggressive one. i still coming out here, we're not seeing international. london's police chief is in the spotlight. off the disturbing report reveals will private messages between officers who are apparently joking about rape, much less full story, and the rest of the week highlights went back in just a what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation. let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development only

personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk ah, in october 1962 in a period known as the cuban missile crisis united states. and then the soviet union were on the brink of war, 1st floor to february 2022. and the americans and russians find themselves in a similar to a powerless situation. this time on the russian ukrainian border will diplomacy as in 1962, be enough to prevent war in 2022 with

. ah, it's good to have with us for the sunday weekly program. now a police watch dog and the u. k. has revealed a disturbing internal culture of massage money and attitudes on sexual violence. i should warn you. you may find some of the following contents offensive, or the report includes private messages between officers of the metropolitan police force which serves greater london. and one and officer said that he would like to rate a female colleagues and other jokes about getting a woman into bed using a knife. a correspondent takes a closer look. all kibble incidents of hate crime involving racist, sexist and homophobic messages have been discovered by a watch drug investigation into the police. thousands of messages taking place between 20162018 were reviewed yet only 2 officers sacks, 9 of the 14 investigated, are still serving in the force. one another holds a contract to staff role. now the commission of faces schools to go,

but not just from the public, but senior politicians, as well as former high ranking officers. we're not seeing one of instances we've seen now too many instances of the most appalling behaviors. i also think it shows a feeler of leadership in some quarters. the met police may be the worst for institutional mas sultani and racism, but they're not the only ones. only a statutory judge lead inquiry will do. only new leadership will do. surely, christina, dick can not be proud of her record when this is the norman charing cross neck. yet her 6th through your salary pot was renewed last auden, which feels like rewarding failure. the defense just bank apparently. in fact, the independent office. so please conduct found an officer was named mc great, the right person, following rumors about bringing a woman back to the police station to then sexually assault the met says it was sorry. we a deeply sorry to london, isn't everyone they have failed with their reporting conduct and acknowledge how

this will damage the trust and confidence of many in the met in the u. k. officers of the post the police by consent. but how can trust be restored or even wasn't ever that what investigate to say, the insidious culture is widespread. we believe these incidents and not isolated or simply the behavior of a few bad apples. the highly dumbing report is just the latest scandal under police commissioner crescent dix watch. institutional feelings were placed under intense scrutiny by the rate and murder of sir evarado by a serving metropolitan police officer known to colleagues as the rapist during his earlier career. and i'm just the mecca serious about ridging the force of rotten abuses of power. surely those individuals must go off to all it's a toxic, dangerous culture that yet again, leadership turns a blind eye to any cost when we actually started or an issue

and debate your strong be come forward. and that one investigation, actually mushrooms and to 9 separate investigations and what we uncovered were cds. so the thing that was happening here was that thought it doesn't just be public, it also has a devasted. ready on the internal culture with the b service, because these officers that were involved with the women, they were officers who come from different cultures and back please service as in the, promote a culture which supports officers no matter where they come from. and they won't enjoy their trust and confidence and enjoy. they have

to weapons and rebuild the trust and confidence of the communities that these very offices come trop. unicef says 6 children were killed at the time, the us conducted a special operation in northwest, syria abiding, held that mission a success, claiming that the chief was law mc state, had been killed. forces carried out the operation with their signature preparation and precision. and i directed the department of defense to take every precaution possible to minimize civilian casualties. unicef confirms that at least 6 children were killed and one girl was badly injured overnight in the border town of ad in the northwest of syria due to heavy violence. the pentagon says 2 children and the women were killed during the raid when the ice. this lead reportedly blew himself up. our u. s. department of defense spokes, boston claims. there are, quote, strong, strong indications that american forces didn't cause any civilian deaths, that we spoke to julia tumor of unicef about the general cost of violence. 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. we call an old fight and all parties to the conflicts in syria to stop the fighting for the sake of serious children and its future. meanwhile, video is a most of what set to be the helicopter. the u. s. commanders were forced to blow up during their re. you can see what's left of it, right? that american officials say it didn't crash. it wasn't shot down. they say the cruise, okay. they blame

a mechanical failure that led to the helicopter being detonated, that we did speak to some local to who say they actually witnessed the raid. soon as i let them there, there were helicopters flying at low altitude, about 4 or 5 aircraft. then we saw soldiers landing the soldiers targets as a house near where i live. the house was surrounded. they spoke through land speakers telling everyone surrender or the house would be destroyed. then the fighting started near inside the house, about an hour the helicopter carried out 4 or 5 machine gun attacks on the house of . okay, bummer! we were preparing to go to sleep. and suddenly we heard wind and the sound of helicopters. my aunt went to see what was going on. she found the sky totally red through loudspeakers to go out. we did that, but then they searched us and hank of my father, they asked our names and what we knew about our neighbor. we said we didn't know anything. they asked us to move to the neighboring house and started rating us. the operation in syria is believed to be the worst case of collateral damage. since the

us drones dry can cobble in august, which killed 10 civilians including an entire family, but also nicholas dave is things that has such tragedies or sadly, just a tip of the iceberg. the united states has been a war and all these countries in the middle east, in the greater middle east, over 20. yes. the last few months. we've had a couple of incidents where just because of the circumstances ah, the united states has not been able to deny the fact that it killed you know, large numbers of civilians have just been thousands and thousands of these attacks . and to think that you know, these capital, but we have recently heard about some how unique in the fact that they killed civilians is, is just to be, would be utterly credulous. a passenger on spirit airlines is crying

censorship. off the staff told him to remove his face mask because it had the anti bite. and let's go brandon slogan on it. a video of the incident, i got attention on social media, 500000 views via tick tock during the week. not america anymore. the american anymore. the because if i had a b, l math on what did it been? ok, what does that mean? like like that or? no. what does that grand in? what does that mean? it's my name. but isn't it? freedom of speech that have the mascot. is it? is it a freedom to see? is this massive home? i just, i can't, we are massive has lots of brandon, like anybody, i don't understand the incident that happened on a flight from cleveland to tampa. one of the crews that it was unacceptable for the passenger, adam rodonna to display a political statement, citing the airlines policy that we spoke to adam himself,

who says the incident is about the flight attendants, personal views, not the rules of the ally in the public. you're. ready an airline, it's a company that they can enforce, you know, policies and things and things like that. but i still think it falls under freedom of speech because it was, you know, it was basically violated. it wasn't spirit. it wasn't spirit palsy that i should not wear this. so it was, it was a direct situation with the actual flight attendance. i mean anything will offend anybody. it's all a personal thing. it's not, you know, she might have thought me might, you know, but is it something else was offensive if i but if i would've had to see my 24 or black lab or anything, anything of that sort. what she had told me to take it off, you know, and i don't,

i don't think that would be the case. i think if she would have like did, she would have, let me, let me where it slogan. let's go. brandon is become a code for insulting president biden all started when nascar driver, brandon brown was being interviewed a few months ago after winning a race. the crowd behind him began chanting and explicit about the president. the reporter thought they were saying, let's go brandon passenger. i don't, we don't again says censorship is killing freedom of speech. we, we do have free speech. i think it's, you know, being taken away from us by, you know, one sided censorship. i mean, you see on social media all the time that it's you know, let them jump supporters, post, bang, you know, they'll be taken down for, you know, things that they support. but if you talk to the other side, it's not censored. so i feel like, you know, the freedom of speech there is,

you know, being, being taken away and it's basically one side of all right, as to weekly, for this ally on auto international. thanks for spending time with us here at moscow. its been a very busy week. any stories you want to catch up on or check for any updates for our website. odyssey dot in a in with
