and raining supreme in the overall metal stable at the moment. that was, however, a somewhat controversial incident involving women's ice hockey match between r o c. and canada, of the canadian ice, hockey plas reportedly refused to take to the ice until they see negative results of the team are, sees corbett tests, and my colleagues are indicating that this was not something imposed by the i o. c, or the chinese authorities. this was an international ice hockey federation decision to hold tests at 5 o'clock in the morning. the r o c team refused to do that, and that's why the u. c. had to step in, eventually the teams made it out into the i swearing medical masks. it might be the 1st time in history of ice coffee that a game is played with players wearing protective masks. and on sunday, it was also the case of the same old story, still making waves

a noise here in beijing when russian skia, alexander bush and off one r o c's 1st gold in a 30 kilometer race. and a journalist from a u. s. outlet free skia asked him a question whether he felt that wind was clean, which an off quickly refuted, and rebutted that question, saying that the journalist should come and see them train. after that, the journalist will no longer ask such questions, according to was turned off. in any case, i'm keeping you updated on everything that is happening here at the winter olympics in beijing. my name is alexia p reporting from beijing and china. many thanks for joining us. hey, on asi international, we're back in 30 minutes with the very latest the that, ah, i

oh, when i was sure seemed wrong when i just don't hold any world yet to see how dizzy, because the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground in silicon valley elite who is out of touch with the rest of the world. this is the key to understanding lucas b walked logic. although it's not the only part, these workers are invisible by design. um, they can write code and send your account never talk to anyone is as an see can get the work back on a spreadsheet. if you need to. e, to see these i letters and numbers of identifying the worker, you don't see a name, you don't see where they live. you don't see what their situation as you don't see

unless you keep track of it yourself. have they worked for you before or not? so do these ghost workers really know who they worked for? have they ever heard of lucas b one. we showed them the footage of the figure 8 founder talking about their work ah, with technology can actually find, pay them a tiny amount of money. and then get rid of them when you don't need them anymore, giggling overpaying people. that isn't. yeah. but i can. now i'm going to start arguing with like i do about the eyes when they get me. and today it's kind of surprising, i guess, a little bit to see there's so openly openly talking about that view. they have of the workforce it's, i guess doesn't always prize me that much, but yeah,

it definitely kind of sucks. i guess when they could be paying them a lot more or at least showing some appreciation or maybe even some a some discretion basically saying in person, you know, you, you hi somebody for 10 minutes and fire them this way. you don't have to look at the person any does. good bye. so that's kind of just, it is kind of the fact that the head of the company is, people are that disposable. that really isn't right. i don't, i don't like that. so i like what i do when i have something to say, and i will say it. so i'm not disposable. ah, and this invisible workforce, hiding behind your screen, there are those who feed algorithms for next to nothing. it's the people in charge of tidying up the web, the social media cleaners who work on sites like facebook or instagram. these

workers are never mentioned in the sleep presentations of the silicon valley c e o . i started building a service to do that. to put people 1st and at the center of our experience with technology, because our relationships are what matters most us. and that's how we find meaning . and how we make sense of our place in the world. today with 2000000000 users, facebook no longer has anything to do with mark sucker begs initial vision of the site. ah, ah, hello and went back and going back to our top story. now the russian and french leaders are meeting in moscow with the ukraine. cries is being a key focus of the talks that having a chat. now let's watch it life with issues

of european security. pick up those goodies. the go to where it was in the virginia including yours and i see 2 of the crisis that arose as a result of george's attack on south syria. he put the money and it also cover to minsk agreements. and at the enormity format, the dns and i see the f a decided that there was that made by the french government and the president, personally, i was given you to provide you equal security for you are p and players. yes. yes. and to solve the issue of a problem sites quickly that to rise connected with the ukrainian crisis, not but little. we've had a detail discussion over the phone at large to to various so he so, but i know that so you have are your considerations on the matter. so i'm very

happy to meet you personally and discuss this face to face. welcome massey, brooklyn armour, thank you so much. sure. dear president, a, me see our protein said on it on the in fact at the end of our summer over funded mental act and establishing obama and diplomatic relations. and in fact, already by let's relations evolving in cultural and economic writing and speaking about the non dialect that we launch it together. right. and that's why the situation which relates to europe and currently it's very concerning for both bodies and today in our college. and we see critical situation, that's why we should assume they have responsibility. in fact, we put

a basis in order to get the open dialect which starts at the 929 in the same book. and i think it's a really very sincere dialogue, which is really why the in order to bother for the european security on the whole continent. that's why we met a city on several phone calls last week. and despite the price, if i could exchange people with brazil, lansky, president the, the numbers as our allies in europe are really concerned and also including the can add in american and are the allies not soon in order. so they couldn't do more leakage in order to understand which way we

should go. so they know that to settle the vertical situation at the beginning about the training. sure. and also including the normal you for money and also the situation in the whole region and also in the russia and also the com on that on that. it's why i'm really happy to discuss with you in details all of these topics in order to cost progress to, to provide the collective come on us or, or russia and put the rest of europe i made. i think them on the if you did, i get it will help us say you border war, you know the to better to have a bed. right. where is it the visibility in 0 to thank you so much for this opportunity. okay. would have been watching and listening in live it to the introduction really

between the russian president vladimir putin and his french cons part. emanuel micron, as they had said to discuss the ukraine crisis will be bringing you more on those talks as and when we get the information. while other western leaders have been finding the flames of the ukraine crisis, the french, they do a manual crohn his right the most trying to fuse the tensions in a meeting with flooding. a putin mccrory who currently also holds the presidency, has emphasize the importance of a clear dialogue with russia. we've got a correspondence don quarter covering this this take lesson. this meeting between potent and macaroni has come as a bit of a surprise to many people. the french president has taken a strong stance in favor of diplomacy when it comes to the heightened tension surrounding the conflict in ukraine. right now, something that's no doubt unsettling for the west's more hawkish voices. now in the run up to this meeting, micron even said that russia's goal is not to conquer ukraine. this is something

that we've seldom been hearing from western officials. we must protect till european brothers by proposing a new balance capable of preserving this sovereignty and peace. this must be done while respecting russia and understanding the contemporary traumas of this great people in great nation. now, micron seems not only willing to compromise, but is optimistic about it earlier. he said that negotiations are likely to prevent any sort of military operation from taking place. and on the other hand, moscow was more reserved in its expectations for new mottoes to france. france is one of your pleading countries. and the crone is currently at the helm of the you for the situation is too complicated to expect to break through one meeting. now this meeting comes at a unique time for both leaders. micron is looking forward to elections coming up in april. no doubt trying to impress his voter base as for putting this comes amidst months of butting heads with western officials. earlier this month, washington outright rejected russia's proposals for security guarantees. the main point of contention being rushes asked that nato stop expanding further eastward.

and while the u. s. has remained adamant about rejecting this point, this is actually at the top of mac, ron's talking points for this meeting. on the other hand, i mean on top of that, western media has also been carrying out a campaign of hysteria surrounding alleged russian plans to invade ukraine. this is something that moscow as time and time again said it's not planning to do even now . a lot of western media outlets are saying that this is an extremely risky business for macro on this meeting. and that it could possibly back fire and ended embarassment for the french president. but others are actually calling it simply successful. putin just because macaroni has given recognition to russia's position . so at any rate, we have seen that the french president has landed in russia. so we'll bring you the details as they become available. independent journalist little evey thinks that mcclellan is trying to enhance his countries on his own position on the international arena. he wants to come to america, and of course,

it is not official, but you want us to position france as a force on, on the, on the international. see, well, francis, always been a maverick within nato. you know, it was under the goal. it was not with a night already expelled nato to belgium, actually from fulton law. and michael plays all this again. it's quite complicated for him to take anything. i don't think he has much power given to him by anybody. but don't forget that there are many oppositions in europe that i'm not in power, but i would really be on the side of russia. but of course they have gone so far and saying i owe you crank. and john h o n a to can accept your grain. that is very difficult to climb down from this all. russia of course says rightly so. no, you grade it, nato. so my whole has to try to, to juggle with these 2 balls quite difficult. microns visit comes as

a top russian diplomat rounded on mainstream reports that moscow supposedly amassed at 70 percent of its military power needed to invade ukraine. another master piece of us propaganda wore unnamed officials undisclosed sources, no evidence, and as b. o. so if you openly question such fakes, you won't get answers and will be labeled a russian apologist. as a daily sack of stories about an alleged invasion pile up nato with rochester power close the border. a plane carrying us troops and equipment with the landing in poland on sunday, near the border with ukraine and nato, was considering increasing its forces in the east of the alliance on a long term basis. and the head of the british minister area ministry of defense that the u. k. will send 350 true to poland. don hawkins, look at how the media and western politicians can't shake their russia, invade to frame 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. the 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 share 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 of 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 sources, mainly anonymous course in more detail, claiming special forces and equipment, fuel hospitals, and even blood bags had been deployed in preparation for an attack. 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 does 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, 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 falling over in shop to get the most memorable story, some even having to apologize for jumping, the gun reporting on a non existent war. we prefer headlines for many scenarios on the headline rusher invite ukraine was inadvertently published around for p n e t. today on a website, we deeply regret the error. the headline has been removed and we were estimating the cause. it's safe to say things are pretty hated. lot a day goes by without western leaders threatening russia with di consequences or pledging to deploy extra troops to eastern europe. and what we would see is we would 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 the muscles since last year,

holdings not drew since 2020, massive forces on the border since 29 team bill weaponry since a year earlier. and threatening nato's border on russia's own territory. the year before that, the list goes on. only rarely g b c. news about mesa forces deployed halfway around the world to russia's own borders and how that might affect relations with moscow, or the bottles 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. the crypto currencies are conquering markets around the globe becoming

a heavy hitter in economic affairs. 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 parent tree, auntie visited the hearts of the countries digital mining industry. ah, the reason is, it cuts has become then official capsule of crypto currency mining and russia. the city owes its high profile status due to low terrorists for electricity and hydro electric power stations. was there being a lot of people walking cross the for mining operations in the region, local businesses are making the most of it. companies making machines that mind crypto currency have appeared in the city along with services for the repair, furniture production and even mining hotels have opened. this is her computer for mining crypto money looks like. what does it consists of a hawk was successful?

there's a power supply to run everything in the main board in the hash board, which does the calculation for mining and how she's a special code consisting of letters and numbers. it's used to transfer data over the internet, a s i c h to calculate the code. the foster does it, the more crypt her own as an in, for example bitcoin. it's not that rosie, though, the device is frequently break down. the problem is that own is usually by 2nd hand devices and the repair can cost a pretty penny. while the price of the bottom price is about $25.00 and it can range $670.00. in this business, there's always winners and losers. and for electricity boards, it becomes a real, not mad you to the height can demand s i. c can consume up to 3.8 kilometers per hour, which is like having to electric kettles, working around the clock. and according to experts know everyone is paying for all the electricity they use. they alleged that 80 percent of minus mon crypto illegally and that most minus come from out of town. and the number of near

arrivals is skyrocketing. facility will rule, little physics roost of the illegal mining was detected in $1200.00 households, which is nearly 10 percent of households. immediate region means to bed. for example, with less than 5 percent of your goose green it is participate more than this is not always a global operation will be 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. it's not all problems are related to minors. sometimes you can boil a kettle dodger, because the whole grid has to be renewed in nearly 50 kilometers from a cask. a bend in factories are reinvented as mines and through an alarmed iron door will reach the mining hotel. it's hardly a holiday resort for the crypto manufacturer. the rented space allows people to use one or more machine and there's the sense of something illegal happening. we see security at every turn in here and at,

on the street the start security spot of the service along with uninterrupted internet for which is the, the live is up was, it's all for the safety of the equipment and so that it doesn't get stolen, flooded it mining machines and lighten portable that can be easily picked up and carried away in the russian register of small and medium sized businesses. mining is not listed, although the status of intent for nurse is wanted. like an in i said it was quite a thing if line is pay for electricity and for a huge logistical effort. such a range is the accompanying infrastructure, mostly central people. they pay taxes on salary of the summer. you can't say that miners are outside the legislature and taxes basically organized this system within the state of the tax money in the budget will be huge and you go, well, there needs to be dialogue between government and the crypto industry. despite the elements of some in the attic, his mother's there is every chance of finding it common language and creating something new and useful together. providing online safety for every one,

even if it's for criminals. the american cybersecurity company, cloud flare, is set to be sued by several major japanese publishers who accused the firm of allowing piracy sides to use its services and associates. hani reports is not the 1st time the company has come under fire for dodgy activity on its platform. millions of web sites rely on the us space network to deliver traffic quickly and protect them from threats. but while cloud flows equally 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 naval 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 the legal traffic in the wild goes through it solvers, and it's not only as innocent as stolen among the drawings. no cloud flat has proved an oasis from the most hateful in the world. who did it, knowing how was 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 bother wise, he doesn't see the home and having a speech hanging round a website, his speech is not bon, we do not believe the investigating speech that flows through our network is appropriate. in fact, we think doing that would be creepy. yes. better not take down, but i thought propaganda in case the terrorist got creeped out. never mind you say that's what the long 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 engaged 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 as extra reward for a cloud flash, turning a blind eye, a giant contract. today we're excited to share that clerk flare and extend to 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 monitor 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 cobra. 1900, that certainly includes spot, apply the f b. i will get facebook to hand over the private messages. i p addresses, phone numbers and email accounts of john the sick writers. and i say will press telecom companies for data to track users. washington will ban federal employees from accessing wikileaks on. now, one computers and congressmen investigated the parlor, but cloud flat. well, it gets a free pass on it. c o hits. net was of $3700000000.00. clearly, government credibility depends on the way they choose. it the service providers, the policy. busy or the company that is one of the most hosting providers to remark that they are not responsible for illegal conduct,

any content that is published by the customers too. but he toes importantly austin, provided we quickly respond that way. he was taken down from a lawyer for smith. these are the most important aspect company that failed to respond to request from out already or not trustable. you may be in you. it seems for washington, nato enemies equal with some. in fact, it's even willing to rub shoulders when you, thanks for joining us. aeronautics international will be back at the top of the hour and less than 3 minutes with some live comments on that meeting. taking place between the put the russian president and his french counter passed away. ah, the mediterranean is the world's most over fish seen on sustainable exploitation of its fish dogs, which maureen biodiversity under great thread,

or solace in the getting the quote on us for sure. you understand this is because our system can continue to pull the cookie careful with tech and want to put our lives despite the eas promises to end over fishing by 2020. the situation is changing to slow. well, i'm very disappointed with basically not in public interests. they also do know in the mid interest of the fishes, the only interest of the fisheries on the face showed the only ones in danger. the fisherman also at risk of losing all the plugin with all of them before they get to them about that. i'm with the bubble thought, i guess it might be real. she's been there wouldn't be abusive for like a boss on that on the with

join me every thursday on the alex, simon. sure. but i will be speaking to guess from the world politics sport, business. i'm show business, i'll see you then. mm. oh is your media reflection of reality? in the world transformed? what will make you feel safer? isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? direct? what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the

shallows. ah, you divide deep and on russia, the french president travels to most guy for talks with vladimir, posted the monument, cron notes. the cronies. quote, clearly not targeting ukraine, but rather a respect nato, and you type a russian official browns, the countries 70 percent ready to invade ukraine as the u. s. propaganda thank is based on unnamed officials. undisclosed still says, no evidence the latest mysteries of accusations of alleged russian aggression being held on a daily basis. how does this capital declare a state of emergency claiming the city is on the siege by protest venting that against vaccine monday.
