ah, oh, you mean as a downside, artificial market for dr. carried away. what kind of report ah, these top stories right now were russian official brands claims the country 70 percent ready to invade ukraine. as us propaganda saying, it's based on unnamed officials, undisclosed sources, and no evidence in the latest and a series of accusations of alleged russian aggression being held on a daily basis. now, the canadian capital declares a state of emergency with the authorities, claiming the cities on the siege as thousands of truck drivers peacefully protest against vaccine mandates. saying the government's trying to portray them as extremists rules are not for everyone. it seems to have the testing positive for cove and australian athlete is allowed to compete in the winter olympics. instead of being put in isolation or to report from beijing a little later. and american cybersecurity firm, cloud fair,

is accused of facilitating piracy. the company still gets us state contracts, though, despite accusations that it protects sites, hosting, child abuse, images, and hate speech. ah, are we picking up a new week here on our tea international monday morning at 10 here in moscow? my name is colleen bry. welcome to the program. first, then unnamed officials undisclosed sources and no evidence. a russian diplomats rounded on reports that moscow has a master 70 percent of the military power needed to embed ukraine as us propaganda . as the daily stack of stories about an alleged invasion, piled up nater was ratcheting up power close to russia's border. a plane carrying us troops and equipment was seen landing in poland on sunday, near to the border with ukraine. ortiz, daniel hawk in next, looks at how the media and western politicians just can't shake the russia invade ukraine mantra. even for those who don't watch the news, reports of

a coming russian invasion of ukraine would be hard to miss. we believe that there is a very interesting possibility that vladimir putin will order an attack on ukraine . it could take a number of different forms. it could happen as soon as tomorrow or it could take some weeks yet. we do have information that it is that the russians are likely to want to fabricate a pretext for an invasion, which again is right out of their playbook. present will welcome the chancellor of germany to the white house and discuss their shared commitment to ongoing diplomacy and joint efforts to deter further russian aggression against ukraine. it's been like groundhog day, 3 months of reports, analysis and countdowns of just when moscow will be ready to launch its attack. with me, a daily news stories, it's almost like news headline. bingo reports have ballooned in intensity and in

depth initial planes focused on the number of troops most good move to the border. as a weeks went by outlets cited analysts and source is mainly anonymous, of course, in more detail, claiming special forces and equipment, field hospitals and even blood bags had been deployed in preparation for an attack of back in january, russian troop below was apparently nearly complete 3 weeks later, us officials say moscow is 70 percent ready for an attack. no longer imminent, at least. what in the world, the 70 percent? ah, i mean, i mean it's simply pulled out of the air. there is no possibility that there is anything. there's no mathematical calculation for these things. they just invent the numbers. oh, most people believe whatever they are told. most people have absolutely 0 skills of skepticism when it comes to us military announcements,

military songs, waving flags. so anything that is said and said repeatedly, is the problem. outlets are forwarding over shop to get the most memorable story, some even having to apologize for jumping, the gun reporting on a non existent war. we prepare headlines for many scenarios on the headline rusher . invade ukraine was inadvertently published around 4 p. m e t. today on a website, we deeply regret the error. the headline has been removed and we are investigating the cause. it's safe to say things are pretty hated. lot a day goes by without western leaders threatening russia with dire consequences or pledging to deploy extra troops to eastern europe. and what we would see is we see rushes economy suffer if they were to take an action to invade ukraine. devastating package of sanctions, economic sanctions that would have enormous impact on the russian economy. let's take a step back. so also headlines,

really new. apparently the russians have been flexing their muscles since last year . holdings not drew since 2020, massive forces on the border since 29 team building weaponry things a year earlier, and threatening nato's border on russia's own territory. the year before that. the list goes on. only rarely do b. c, news about nathan forces deployed halfway around the world to russia's own borders and how that might affect relations with moscow, or the balance of power in europe. to be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace, said george washington. and as the most high level talks in years between nato and moscow breakdown and troops support on alerts calls for the escalation, food on death is as the media continue to beat the drums of war. ah, the mayor of canada's capital cities declared a state of emergency citing

a serious threat to the safety of residence. it has truck drivers protest for 10 consecutive day of vaccine mandates in also with the members of the countries ruling party branding the current situation. an insurrection, our city is under siege. this group is horizon, 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, around 5000 people with a 1000 vehicles flooded downtown otwell and sunday protested for st. dancing singing in the streets or no trouble was reported to demonstrate to say the movements entirely peaceful to make use the government of smearing them with allegations of extremism. yesterday i visited otto to witness freedom convoy

2022 with my own eyes. everything is peaceful families with children play around music, free food and drinks. this felt like a festal rose and approach us fairness. i saw the family with children enjoying the peaceful demonstration or freedom convoy. a few bad elements were present, but they could be plants to discredit the freedom convoy. the bad elements were kicked out, simple throwing accusations around to and cut as he have to have physical peers be unreasonable, doubt to be accusing them of terrorism. this is name calling that kids generally do . a subtle one sided anti truck protests have also been held across canada. hundreds rallied in toronto, the sunday health care workers and supporters chanted, proud to be vaccinated and held up signs. reading hate has no home here. police were deployed though to keep the rival protests apart. mass protest broke out after the canadian government introduced vaccine mandates for truck drivers. crossing the border with the united states. health officials defended that booth,

citing the rising number of coke infections and also hospitalizations in the country. around 15 percent of canadian truckers and vax, a political analyst alessandra bruno thinks the government faces an uphill task in curbing the protest movement. i don't know what recourse they have to. they could call new sense in the sense perhaps, noise and disruption to business. but that's the point. and they, they didn't choose these intersections by accident. if the sort of emergency means that they're going to be driven out, that implies the use of some kind of i'm not sure how this is going to be playing out because i 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 authorities use a means other than a robot of persuasion, which is days into the winter olympics. and the events already provoked claims that

the organized that are inconsistent and how they're applying. pandemic rules, australia, when it's 1st ever olympic curling event on sunday, despite a team member testing positive for coven, and still being allowed to take part in the competition. alexey irish f, the reports next from beijing 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 lee gill was tested positive for covet. 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. deal 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 so 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 heart warming gesture from the health authorities to allow athletes with low symptoms of cove at 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 of a russian by athlete musket 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 had been captain. on top of that, there are many cases involving colleagues of mine, journalists who've also tested positive. i'm 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 allows to be inside the hotels and at olympic venues. we are 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 a requirement for us here. why are we supposed to be in a bubble when people like gail are allowed to participate despite having tested positive for cove. it lexer shasky, r t reporting from badging and china for on a brighter no go a russian figure skater claimed gold at the games. on monday with the history making free skate of camilla valley ava, who became the 1st woman to land, to quadruple jumps at the olympics. and providing safety for every one,

even if it's for criminals. american cybersecurity company, cloud fair, is set to be sued by several major japanese, publishes who accused the firm of allowing piracy sites to use it services and a saskia. taylor reports next. it's not the 1st time the companies come at a fire for dodgy activity on its platform. millions of web sites rely on the u. s. space network to deliver traffic quickly and protect them from threats. but while cow flows eagerly fighting off 70000000000 cyber attacks every day, it seems to be, let's see when it comes to well, principles. all the profits made from those manga piracy sites. go straight to the illegal operators with nothing going to the bookstores publishes and manner artists who have dedicated their lives to creating these works with cloud flat handing out a needle copies for free. those who walk tirelessly on the graphic novels are left millions of dollars out of pocket. so the text joint insist, it's not really to blame, but cow flat is a repeat offender. 82 percent of

a legal traffic in the wild goes through it solvers, and it's not as innocent as stolen among the drawings. no cloud flat has proved away from the most hateful in the world. who did it, knowing how the customers for years terror groups, web pages with images of child abuse, stolen payment card details, and new nazi and pro much shooting material. some of the services were only banned by the ceo because, and i quote, he was in a bad mood because otherwise he'd have to see the home and having hate speech hanging round a website, his speech is not bon. we do not believe that investigating the speech that flows through our network is appropriate. in fact, we think doing that would be creepy. yes. better not take down that i saw propaganda in case the terrorist got creeped out. never mind you say that's what the young arm of government is for. surely the white house, the champion of peace and tolerance, will step in,

while the us authority told us to terminate any of them as a customer. we would, when we have a customer who we think might be engage in illegal act, we consult with law enforcement organizations. in some cases, we've been specifically ordered not to terminate customers that may from an outside perspective objectionable. so not only is washington clearly not taking action, it's actively choosing to keep shady content alive and kicking, and has extra reward for a cloud flash, turning a blind eye, a giant contract. today we're excited to share that clerk flare, and accenture, federal services have been selected by the department of homeland security to develop a joint solution to help the federal government defend itself against cyberattacks the platform. and now both the f. b, i the state department, the department of interior and the library of congress as its clients. so just to be clear, the white house will encourage spotify to monetize jo, rope and podcast. our hope is that all major tech platforms and all major new

sources for that matter, be responsible and be vigilant to ensure the american people have access to accurate information on something as significant as cove in 1900. that certainly includes spotted fly the f b i will get facebook to hand over the private messages. i. p addresses, phone numbers and email accounts of john you the sick writers. 7 and i say will press telecom companies for data to track uses. washington will ban federal employees from accessing wiki links on no one computers. and congressmen investigated the parlor, but cloud flat. well, it gets a free pass on it. c, o hits a net worth of $3700000000.00. it seems for washington, not all enemies the equal with some in fact, it's even willing to rub shoulders it with our team from moscow still head for you, we're going to hit the road to rural russia to dig deep into crypto currency mining,

revealing something along the way of the hidden world, it's all next story when we come back. ah ah, ah ah . oh, driven by driven shaped bankers are those with

dares sinks. we dare to ask ah, lo again. crypto currencies conquering markets around the globe becoming a heavy hitter in economic affairs along the way. but as the digital currency market develops, regulators have to deal with the thriving problem of illegal mining. and while russia debates the legitimacy of the crypto market on its territory, ortiz bain to visit the heart of the countries digital mining industry. ah,

that of course of all 3 of your golden in recent years, it could become the unofficial capsule of crypt, courtesy, mining and russia. the city owes its high profile status, you to low towers for electricity and hydro electric power stations with it being a lot of people working across the full mining operations in the region. local businesses are making the most of it. companies making machines that my cryptic currency of a paid in the city, along with services for the repair, furniture production and even mining hotels of openly what that would really give us a call from this is, was a computer for mine, encrypt him. and he looks like, what does it consist of a ha classics of paper? there's a power supply to run everything. and the main board in the hash board, which does the calculation for mining push it the will, correlates of how she's a special code consisting of letters numbers. it is used to transfer data over the internet, which i s i c h to calculate the code, the foster it does it, the more crypto currency on his own in, for example, bitcoin broach him, you feel that others now but the lama is not rosy though. the device is frequently

break down, the problem is the own is usually by 2nd on devices, and they're packed in cost. a pretty penny, wiley, but ice on the bottom. price is about $25.00 and it can reach $670.00. low stores, i guess that our weather would be in this business. there's always winners and losers on fletcher c boards. it becomes a real night maggi the high can demand. i, as i see, can consume up to 3.8 kilowatt hour, which is like having to electric kettles working around the clock problem with doesn't if don't stretch dependably on a coatings rex, but it's no everyone is paying for all the electricity they used. well, they alleged that, 80 percent of mine is mine crypto illegally and that most mine has come from out of town. and that the number of new arrivals is skyrocketing with them. fellows of the bush pursuing the wound and with each other from them either legal mining was detected in $1200.00 households, which is nearly 10 percent of households in the increased region. unions took dead part of the miss less than 5 percent of their coast. christian citizens participate . but this is not always say global operation. a lot of households have to 3

computers for mining, which isn't much, but enough to get to know that technology and have a crypt a wallet. not all problems are related to minors. sometimes you can boil a kettle, the duchess, because the power grid has to be renewed by sheep. it is yep, kilometer of the records go in when i missed it. nearly 50 kilometers from eloquence abandoned factories have reinvented his minds and through an alarmed iron door we reach the mining hotel is hardly a holiday result for the crypto manufacturer. the rented space allows people to use one or more machine on this, the sensor, something illegal happenings is what we see security every turn in here on the, on the street. this tight securities bought the service along with the uninterrupted internet, which is doesn't live is up as a sample. it's all for the safety of the equipment so that it doesn't get stolen. mining machines, a light and portable that can be easily picked up and carried away. what i see is kelly is that a malo in the russian register. small, medium sized businesses mining is not listed, although the state is fontana is wanted. by can i take

a look at quite upland minus pay for electricity and for a huge logistical effort that arranges the accompanying infrastructure. they settle people, they pay taxes on salaries. you can't say that minus are outside the legislature and tax if we organize this system within the state, the tax money in the budget will be huge. stores among them will drip on yet. yeah, pretty well, that needs to be dialogue between government on the crypto industry, despite the elements of some of the anarchism of others, there's every chance of finding a common language and creating something new and useful together. a spike in energy prices is threatening the feature of a centuries old gloves, making tradition on an island near venice in italy. the business relies heavily on gas for its furnaces, but prices of sword, and it's making it a strain to break even. we spoke with the head of an association that promotes marana glass, suzanne group of market speculators and the you for putting them out of pocket. damita dad a. we blame the european union, which is unable to come up with

a logical, unified response between members. states to this problem is a problem to facts, not only murano or italy, but the whole of the e. u. for almost 1000 years we've been world beating for product quality. our production system requires ovens to be operating round the clock with different temperatures depending if we're in production or resting. so we have enormous consumption and things that difficult for us with the price skyrocketing between september and december 2021. we had a 600 percent increase, but there are no viable alternatives. we can try to be more efficient with our consumption coats, maybe 10 or 20 percent with us, not enough gas prices in europe soard last year. and it's december height was a tenfold increase year on year. although prices of cold slightly since then, the price last friday was still up fivefold compared with the same date. last year and 2021. the italian government took measures to ease the hardships of the gas crisis, including $4000000000.00 euro spent on subsidizing energy companies for their capt

. terris but marana manufacturers claimed that production is still too costly and the government policies are ineffective. she thought, so, this is absurd for us. we are back to pre pandemic order levels nearly and we can't produce because the production cost is higher than what we can sell it for. the problem is speculation on the in social market, domestically not much could have been done. it's a political issue with a $5.00 to $6.00 vote increase in price. we can't even get close to breaking even. and the reality is a lot of the factories be forced to close for a spike in energy prices is also rock turkey, where thousands rallied across the country in protest against electricity prices that have gone up between 5200 percent since the beginning of the year. along with an increase in natural gas bills to on sunday, march is took place in south eastern provinces with crowds carrying their electricity bills, and foreign currency. in france, police use tear gas to disperse. jubilant crowds,

celebrating santa goals when in the africa cup of nations. football championship celebrations erupted across paris on sunday night. senegal defeated egypt for 2 after penalties to win the championship for the very 1st time that the us mexico border. the authorities there of clear that makeshift camp where hundreds of migrants heading towards the u. s. had been holding out for more than a year. the migrants tense, around the al, chaparral crossing would demolished, and the inhabitants transferred to 3 local shelters. some migrants so decried to move because it took place at dawn when the chief understood just some of the stories were across for you here at r t this monday morning on collin bray. i'll be back here with the next update, and a little over 35 minutes from now. see then ah, 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 a very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time to sit down and talk to the mediterranean is the world's most over fish. see unsustainable exploitation of its fish dogs, which maureen biodiversity undergoing thread, and your selection again, quote our special guest on the system because our system, i'm not going to pull leaky capital for a tech and want to put our lives despite the use promises to end over fishing by 2020, the situation is changing to slow. well, i'm very disappointed with the politicians that they basically not in public interests. they also do not in the mid interest of officially

the only interest of the fishery. moby on the face of the only one that's in danger . the fishermen also at risk of losing a lot of them, but they get done about that. i'm to bubble thought, i get them, i'd be real. she's been liberties of abusive. a with a with, ah,

i'm after that as you know, what's going on the ground coming up with a show democracy exists in the usa is joe biden dispatches, thousands of soldiers to european union countries for potential war with russia. we investigate where the millions of americans back home now face disenfranchisement on the jim crow, 2.0 plus on us national black h i v aids awareness day and as we m j l g b team up in the u. k. who is the pioneering david stewart of soho, and what can we learn from the 40000000, with a chevy to protect us from corona virus, bowlers hm. all coming up in today's going underground with fast as the us celebrates black history month. the very voting rights of martin luther king junior described as being the foundation stone of political action. a seemingly been chipped away, adding to the arguable erosion of american democracy with the spectre of jim crow haunting the ballot box. those americans who wish to exercise their democratic rights faced with malcolm x is binary choice of either the ballot or the bullets. joining with you on to that question is dr. jason nichols,

award winning lecture of african american studies at the university of maryland college park. the host of vincent, jason, save the nation, speaks with me now from ellicott city in maryland. thank you so much, jason, for coming on this talk here of wag the dog when it comes to ukraine, boris johnson under trouble in big trouble here. politically, joe biden releasing pictures of him of various to described a massacre otherwise described as the killing of it isis leader. all the women and children apparently have been killed. and of course, biden deploying thousands more. us soldiers across european union countries against russia is biden wagging the dog. i think i, you know, joe biden, to this point i, a lot of the posture hasn't been as bad as, as i was afraid that it may be in the sense that i, i think ukraine people were here were afraid. and there were people who are

warmongers on, on cable news here in the united states were talking about the possibility that we could have a war with russia and looking to intervene on behalf of ukraine. i think that ju biden's been somewhat careful in saying that look, any kind of retaliation for an invasion of ukraine, which i don't think is going to happen. will be economic and economic sanctions, which i think is a fair response and a measured response. i think both sides have to have to speak tough. i think you're not going to see vladimir putin back down and, and i don't think you're going to see joe biden and speak softly. but i think behind closed doors, there probably are, you know, for duct, somewhat productive negotiations. and, you know, we know that russia is, is doing things like putting more troops and bella roofs. so, you know, as

a partner invited, of course they were invited there and you're saying it isn't so bad. he is deploying thousands of troops and actually threatening sanctions. and i don't know how many countries in the world the united states now sanctions, obviously i will hunt the average russian man, woman and child of sanctions are not. i mean, they're considered economic warfare. yeah, no and, and again, i think number 11 of the things that we need to recognize is that the world is already at war in terms of cyber wars and everybody's, you know, interfering with one another sometimes interfering in their elections. these things are going on constantly between nations while at the same time, their style simultaneously working together. so i, i think that, you know, when we look at economic sanctions, i think the russians have been pretty clear that this isn't going to break them either. they have a lots of cash, they have lots of reserves in the short term. economic sanctions are not going to

break them.
