dramatic, only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk. the canadian, the city of ottawa declared a state of emergency in response to the truck, convoy protest against vaccine mandate. city mayor, site serious danger and threat to resident. and also in the story the shape of the week here in our national and the weekly rush up, shut down the moscow office of german broadcast georgia develop. and after berlin blocks our sisters channel are to be in germany. not trillion curling team number is allowed to compete at the winter olympics despite the testing positive for cove. it, we asked if the rules are for some countries, but not others. and at least 6 children are killed in northwest syria. as american

commandos claimed to have taken out the leader of islamic states at the same time in place. now the mayor of kansas capital city ottawa has declared a state of emergency over the truckers. freedom convoy protests citing serious danger and a threat to the safety residents. you had earlier accused the drivers protesting an ottawa for a 10th day of disruptive behavior, claiming that they are out of control. and the organizers vehemently deny that saying that the movement is entirely peaceful. they accused the government of smearing them with allegations of extremism. the freedom conway started out as a protest against coven vaccine mandates for cross border truckers. it has since escalated into a nationwide rallying point against prime minister just intruders government. on sunday, around 5000 people with a 1000 vehicles flooded downtown ottawa, parliament is still split on the issue with opposition. conservatives largely
9:02 pm
importing the convoy. while the governing liberal party have rendered it an insurrection. our city is under siege. this group is terrorizing our residents torturing them with incessant honking, threatening them, and preventing them from leading their lives. this group is a threat to our democracy. what we're seeing is bigger than just a city of ottawa problem. this is a nationwide insurrection. meanwhile the truckers are pulling in political support south of the border for some reason the governor of florida is launching a probe into the u. s. website to fund me for withholding millions of dollars and donations for the canadian truckers. a fundraising platform claims the movement violated its terms of service. but rhonda sanchez has accused the company of fraud and deceptive practices. we spoke to independent political analyst. i was under bruno thinks the government face and appeal task in curbing the protest.
9:03 pm
i don't know what recourse they have to. they could call a nuisance in the sense perhaps noise disruption to business. but that is the point they, they didn't choose these intersections by accident. if the state of emergency means that they're going to be driven out, that implies the use of some kind of force. i'm not sure how this is going to be playing out. because just from a physical point of view, they have made big trucks in, in the streets, we could see some hostility for sure if the thirty's use names other than verbal persuasion. when across the atlantic covered vaccine regulations are being met with a barrage of discontent has thousands rallied on sunday. in the dutch city of rotterdam, the march was led by a group called firefighters for freedom to accuse the government of by leaving
9:04 pm
basic freedoms and threatening democracy. players were set off on the streets with an estimated $15000.00 people taking part almost no police officers inside. that's because the city is right, police were on strike. also, due to vaccine rules, the netherlands has lifted many of its restrictions after months of harsh log towns, but co that immunity passes are required to enter pumps, restaurants, and cultural event. germany's media regulator this week, band ortiz, sister channel r t d e. across all platforms, in retaliation, russia shut down the moscow bureau of german broadcast deutsch vellum with the foreign ministry. also warning of further measures or she's done quarter as the story for us. it was this week's biggest violation of freedom of the press. in germany, the country's top media regulator took r t d, e's broadcasts off the air on the internet via satellite social media, absolutely everywhere. the required media law license was not available. the
9:05 pm
organization and distribution of the tv program by a live stream on the internet. by 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 in kind? don't have ela was told, it's 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 everyone complicit in this enormous censorship campaign against our t. russia is drawing up a list of representatives of state and public structures in germany involved in restricting the broadcast of r t d and putting pressure on the russian media outlets. you'll 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 band 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
9:06 pm
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. o t d e was licensed in serbia under the european convention of trans frontier television, r t t e can book cost as programs in 33 european countries, including germany, artic and 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 's success, which i know about the closure of bank accounts and so on. there's a large number of tactics they're using. so r t d can't operate their infringing on freedom of speech and that's very bad. and
9:07 pm
yet berlin's acting like moscow took these measures out of the blue r g d e z. kindly broadcasting without license. and the trauma has not applied for license the german state media officers decision was based on this. this is a completely different situation to daughter viola. 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 rush 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 film director morton traffic, who says that the ban on our tv is aimed at silencing those who challenge mainstream narrative in the western hemisphere. so much of what comes up the russia is viewed with such suspicion. because that, that creates a worldview where
9:08 pm
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 are supposedly unacceptable, is 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 australia registered its 1st ever olympic curling event when this weekend, this is despite a team member testing positive for coven at the beijing, which are games leading to claims of double standards for some athletes, or she's alexia shasky, comments now from the host city when to lympics are continuing in the chinese capital beijing, and we may have
9:09 pm
a 1st scandal of big proportions here involving australian curling team. now on saturday night, one of the team members tackling gill, was tested positive for corporate. however, on sunday morning, the chinese authority said that she was clear 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 calls contacts. jill 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 were 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 . a move like that would seem as a very heartwarming gesture from the health authorities to allow athletes with low
9:10 pm
symptoms. of course, 19 to participate in the games had its not being for multiple heartbreaking stories involving many athletes from across the planet who had been preparing for the games before. yes. tested positive up on arrival and were forced to miss out on the lympics. here in beijing, such as the case of a russian by athlete was salva, who was immediately taken into isolation upon arrival, having tested positive for covet. and just a few days back, she put a post on instagram describing horrible conditions as she described it. she has been kept in 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 was sat next to them despite testing negative, are also put into modern itself. isolation. just to remind you that all of us here are living in a bubble we are allows to be inside the hotels and at olympic. venues were not
9:11 pm
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 a requirement for us here. why are we supposed to be in a bubble when people like gil, are allowed to participate despite having tested positive for cove? it, well, at least it's not all that sour for many athletes winning golds and silva's already . that is the case of alexandra bush and off off the russian olympic committee team who managed to win gold in a ski race. and that is the 1st goal for the r o c team. here in beijing. of course i'm keeping you updated with everything happening here in the chinese capital lecture. shasky rti reporting from beijing and china. a veteran reporter clash with a u. s. state department spokesperson this week, as officials failed to back up their claim that russia's planning a false flag operation to justify a war with ukraine. what is the evidence that you have that suggested that the
9:12 pm
russians are even planning this man? i'm not saying that they're not, but you just come out and say this and expect those to still to, to believe it without you showing a shred of evidence that it's actually true. all of them. 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 declassify information only when we're confident in that information. if you doubt, if you doubt the credibility of 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 i, that is for you to do. moscow says it is not surprised by yet. another string of accusations saying is reminiscent of 2003 when the u. s. made false claims of iraqi weapons of mass destruction. meanwhile, the full text of the confidential us nato response to russia. security concerns has been leaked. the document was published by a spanish daily pace and later confirmed as authentic by washington. earlier,
9:13 pm
my colleagues, neil harvey and soft taylor discussed its 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 offered us 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 it hands on the nato and us response to russia. security proposals now will remember those proposals they were sent back in december. they fin triggered a flurry of diplomatic talks and calls and essentially they requested legal guarantees, restricting father nato expansion,
9:14 pm
specifically with regards to ukraine. the document that we're seeing now though, reveals a very blunt response from washington and brussels. and it's in all states should respect the rights 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 russians 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 duck, try no documents. it is written that they plan to return crimea,
9:15 pm
including by military means that it's not what they say public. 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 thought about that? so the situation is it seems to me both sides refusing to budge and let him pitch and set it there in a slightly different context. but what do we do? what's versus reaction? been to this most has 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 posed 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,
9:16 pm
from russia. so it's essentially, i think, this fear that really underlies russia's concerns in that area. michelle bush and this is ignoring our concerns, the u. s. and need to refer to the rights of states to freely choose how to insure the security. but it's not just about giving someone this right. after all, this is only one parts of the well known formula for the indivisibility of security . the 2nd integral part says that once not allow the strengthening of anyone security at the expense of the security of other states. so the washing leaders asking, why must we sacrifice 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 communication long military channels, reinstating the nature office here and moscow discussing arms control. so reducing missile deployment to ukraine. but if we get to the bottom of it,
9:17 pm
let's be blunt. according to this document, the west responds to an almost existential concern of rushes. as we hear you, what we don't care enough to do anything. and this is in fact case closed. 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 fun demand concerns. and with that kind of inflexible rhetoric combined, of course, with this ongoing footage of millions of dollars, while the weapons being sent to kiev, it's very difficult even with the best of intentions to see where to move from. now, the police watchdog in the u. k. has revealed a disturbing internal culture of massage any attitudes on sexual violence and a bit of one. and you may find some of the following content offensive. the report includes private messages between officers of the metropolitan police force which serves greater london in one and officer says that he would like to rape a female colleague and other jokes about getting a woman into bed using
9:18 pm
a knife. are your k correspondence shut? edwards duster, you can tell us more all careful incidents of hey crime involving racist, sexist and homophobic messages have been discovered by a watch stroke investigation into the police. thousands of messages taking place between 20162018 were reviewed yet only 2 officers sucked. 9 of the 14 investigated are still serving in the 4th, while another holds a contract to stop role. now the commission of faces schools to go, but not just from the public, but senior politicians, as well as form a high ranking offices. 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 literature in some quarters. the met police may be the worst for institutional massage any and racism, but they're not the only ones. only a statutory judge lead inquiry will do. only new leadership will do. surely, christina,
9:19 pm
dick can not be proud of her record. when this is the norman charing cross neck. get her 6 to your salary post 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 the great p, right, the following rumors about bringing a woman back to the police station to then sexually assault the met says it was sorry. we are deeply sorry to londoners and every one 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 are 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
9:20 pm
the right and murder of sarah evarado by a serving metropolitan police officer known to colleagues as the rapist during his earlier career. and i'm just the meta serious about ridging the force of rotten abuses of power. surely those individuals must go and that boss to all is a toxic, dangerous culture that yet again, leadership turns a blind eye to any cost when we actually started or an issue. and eventually on the score stopped all work 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 they thought it doesn't just be devasted public. it also has a devasted. ready on the internal culture within the b service,
9:21 pm
because these officers that were involved with the women, they were officers come from different cultures and back please service as an doesn't promote a culture which supports officers no matter where they come from and they won't enjoy their trust and confidence, and enjoy the actual how can they go to weapons and rebuild the trusted confidence of the communities that these very offices come from? the us have says, 6 children were killed at the time. the u. s. a conducted a special operation in northwest syria. present bite, inhaled thursday's mission of success, declaring that islamic state its chief, had been eliminated. forces carried out the operation with their signature preparation and precision. and i directed the department of defense to take every
9:22 pm
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 a woman were killed during that raid. when the isis leader blew himself up, u. s. department of defense spokesperson claims. there are quote, strong, strong indications. american forces caused no civilian death. we spoke with juliet toma from the un chief agency about the cost of ongoing violence in syria. when we have seen an escalation and violence and bad area, and what this means is that children pay 1st and they pay most. and if we compare the number of casualties 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
9:23 pm
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 conflict in syria to stop the fighting for the sake of serious children and its future. also video has emerged of what said to be the helicopter, that us commandos were forced to blow up during the raid. here you can see what is left of the vehicle. american officials denied that it crashed or was shot down and say that the crew is safe. adding that it was. busy a mechanical failure that led to the helicopter being detonated. we spoke to locals, who say they witnessed the raid. soon as i left them there, there were helicopters flying at low altitude, about 4 or 5 aircraft. then we saw soldiers landing, the soldiers targeted 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
9:24 pm
fighting started near inside the house, about an hour the helicopter carried at 4 or 5 machine gun attacks on the house of . okay, bummer! we were preparing to go to sleep. and suddenly we heard when 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, my father, they asked our names and what we knew about. and they said we didn't know anything . they asked us to move to the neighboring house and started rating on the passenger on american carriers. spirit. airlines was told to remove his face math because it had the anti joe biden. let's go brandon slogan on it. video of the incident spread on social media racking up more than half a 1000000 views on tick tock alone during the week. not america anymore. the not america anymore. the company here, if i had a b, l math on what did have been. okay, what does that mean? like that or?
9:25 pm
no. what does that grand in? what does that mean? it's my name. but isn't it? freedom of speech to have the mask on. is it? is it a freedom to see, is this i just, i can't, we are massive says let's go brandon. is this anybody? i don't understand. the incident happened on a flight from cleveland to tampa. one of the crew said it was unacceptable for the passenger, adam redone. yeah, to display what he claimed was a political statement, citing airline policy. we spoke to adam himself, not brandon, who says the incident is about the flight attendance, personal views, not your lives, rules. it is a public, you're an airline, it's a company that they can enforce, you know, policies and things and things like that. but i still, they get bothering their freedom of speech because it was, you know,
9:26 pm
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 and it's not, it's all a personal thing. it's not, you know, she might have thought, you know, something else was offensive. if i, but if i would have had, you know, by the 2024 or 5 mad 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 wear it. the slogan, let's go. brandon has become a rally. cry for people criticizing president biden. and his policy started when nascar driver, brandon brown was being interviewed a few months ago after winning a race car began chanting an expletive aimed at biden. but the nbc reporter allegedly thought they were saying, let's go. brandon passenger,
9:27 pm
adam rodney again says that the selective censorship is killing freedom of expression in society. 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. ready all the time that it's you know, let them know, jump, supporters will post things you know, they'll be taken down or 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 that is for me, i'll be back at about 32 minutes with another look at your weekly stay with the started trash ah,
9:28 pm
with bring you the very latest every out the day. this is are no fun. everyone here with the mediterranean is the world's most proficiency unsustainable exploitation of its fish, dogs. what's marine biodiversity undergoing threat su medicine? so listen, the key in the quote, our special guest on this is because our system, i'm not going to pull the cookie careful for a tech and want to put our lives despite the ease. promise is to end over fishing
9:29 pm
by 2020. the situation is changing. to slow, well, i'm very disappointed with that they basically in public interests. they also do know in the mid interest of the fishes, the only interest of the fishery will be the facial and the only ones in danger. the fishermen also at risk of losing all bugging them up to them before they get to them about that. i'm with the level one i guess it might be with ah, with
9:30 pm
every turnaround that traffic circle, with the influx of contractors went largely, uncontrolled by yosemite wasn't disorganized non purpose. it just was too much going on in war zones. and there was no coordination really, between the companies the problem was that we had all of these different private military companies running around we, we've outsourced too quickly, and they weren't coordinated both in contract terms, but also an on the ground operational terms. so what is your answer to a problem of outsourcing? outsource more.
