ah, to like see you divide, deepen on russia, or is the french president travel, say the bosco for talks with a manual macro? nope, the kremlin is quote, clearly not targeting ukraine, but rather a reset. in ne, tony, you've tight because russian official brand, the countries 70 percent ready to invade ukraine, as us propaganda say. it's based on unnamed officials, undisclosed sources that no evidence in the latest to the series of accusations of alleged russian aggression being held on a daily basis of the new to tracking. tonight, canada's capital declared a state of emergency claiming the cities on the siege by protest as venting their anger against coven vaccine mandate, or to was police threatened to arrest. now anyone providing material support to groups? the truck is conducting a blockade as part of that ongoing unrest and cyber security firm in america,

cloud fair is accused of facilitating piracy. the company still gets us state contracts, though, despite accusations to protect site hosting, child abuse, images, and 8 speech with hello there. life mart, internationalists monday, will welcome to i will these at 8 pm from moscow with me, kevin. so 1st and while the other western leaders have been fanning the flames with ukraine crisis to night, french liter manual ma chrome syria, moscow to try to diffuse the tensions in a meeting with russia's vladimir putin. it's ongoing at the moment. the top level rhonda who began with some warm greetings earlier today when they appeared briefly on camera just about an hour or so ago i. and just with we actually caught a glimpse into this meeting between micron and putin, where a several of the points that micron was making earlier today were reiterated the

fact that both russia and the western world need to find common ground to avoid war and to be honest, this meeting between puttin and mac, ron actually came as a bit of a shock to many people. the french president has come out in strong support of diplomacy when it comes to these height and tensions around ukraine. and that's something that has no doubt been unsettling. for the more hawkish voices in the west. now, in the run up to this meeting, micron even said that russia's goal was not to conquer ukraine. this is something that we've rarely been hearing in the western world. we must protect till european brothers by proposing a new balance capable of preserving this sovereignty in 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 he also seems quite optimistic about it. earlier. we heard him say that the heath he feels that these negotiations are the road to preventing any sort of military operation from taking place. and on the other hand,

moscow was more reserved in its expectations premium and close 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 definitely comes at a unique time for both leaders for prudent. it comes alongside months of butting heads with western officials. i mean, earlier this month, washington rejected russia's proposals for security guarantees. the main point of contention being the call for nato to stop expanding eastward. and while the us seems resolute to continue to reject that proposal, that's actually one of the main talking points that micron has come to moscow too. with today, earlier on top of that, the western media has also been carrying out and a campaign of hysteria around alleged russian plans to invade ukraine. something that moscow has said that it's not planning to do for the longest time. it's been saying that and even now some outlets are calling this meeting or something that's risky, business for macro, that could backfire and embarrassingly for him,

while others have even called it a success for putin just because the french president has given credence to the russian position now on as for macro on, he's got elections coming up in april and he's no doubt trying to impress his voter base after all the president's challenges actually already taking sides on this issue. we've got the far right, eric zimmer, who says that prudence interest in stopping further eastward nato expansion is actually completely legitimate. and that it's been the u. s. that's been provoking . russia. we've also got from the other side of the political spectrum, john luke melancholy, who echoed these calls for a stop to nato expansion. even criticizing micron for saying that he would defend the integrity of ukraine. and also we've got the comments from the green saying that i actually met, micron should have visited ukraine 1st before visiting russia. so like i said, we saw the beginning of that meeting and some interesting stuff is definitely gonna come out of it. well, wayne to say will know bit later on may be robert honish with his no correspondent

of the diplomatic observer, newspaper basins, strossberg francais. they're nice to see you. so yeah, i wonder if there will be any big outcomes tonight is a big bating. but there's a lot to thrush out. what do you think the outcome may be? i think it, there will be dramatic headlines in that part of the mainstream media in france, which is influenced by the government. it's, that's about the election. but at the same time, there is clearly a trend in germany and france to move their foreign policy in a direction which is less confrontational with russia. they were very shaken by the behavior of trump when he was in power. and it's becoming clear that they understand that america has a far policy objective, which is to europe and russia, a pot, and france and germany have a different phone policy objective. and furthermore, france and germany absolutely do not want any sort of war in europe. whereas the

americans, wow, it's not a big deal for them literally. but under the day, how much power dismissed him to call and have, or even germany. yeah. the big power houses, but they know the whole collective of a well, i mean you're, you're corresponding said that micro was at the helm of the european union that he has much influence in poland in the baltics when it comes to something that is the europe in union ever since it expanded, eastwood has been radically divided because of this because you have countries like like as i say, the baltics and poland who looked to america for the defense to your what could give here. we know that demand russia made in the west, most of the machine is something that couldn't be negotiated on, particularly a but ukraine joining nato. but equally, there's a big ground swell of opinion that can see russia side of it as well in this problem with it. all can at least be thrust out that will be suitable to everybody . i don't expect a definitive solution immediately. i mean,

obviously mike calling with talking with the elections come out. the guy wants to give the impression that he's the man who sort it all out. rather, you did years ago with the georgia war, but there is a touch on the tiller if i can put it that way the, the direction of viewer. they know that in the long term future asia, russia, china, is rising. and that the influence of the americans is declining what they've got themselves so tangled up with the americans based very, very difficult. suddenly just like that to turn around and say, oh well, you know, we couldn't tell the americans to take a running jump. we're going to start being friendly with russia and china. they really can't do that. for example, france is military active in north africa. they couldn't do that without american support. and if they, if they misbehaved an inverted commerce, they would lose that support overnight and suddenly find themselves in great

difficulties. and i would also try mr. mcroy, me. so those big headlines in the british press last week when it goes to various jumps, these under enough political pressure that already came to ukraine made headlines. and the red tops you said is going to make big headlines as well, in the french papers to morrow microns off to ukraine to morrow. but is it for domestic consumption? but those elections coming up, or is it with a real will to actually sort something out here or a headlines has passed by wednesday and then we're back to square one. do think now i think it, yes, i mean the superficial level. it's about the elections. but there has clearly been a movement of opinion in your article this month and the more diplomatic, which is a very influential paper on international relations above the crisis sitting out quite clearly how it was originally launched by the west in 2014, when they with through a government and ukraine, which was freely unfairly and acted as everybody in europe agreed. europeans know

this, but they call suddenly turn round to the americans because they are valuable economically and say, well, you know, we're going to listen to him. all of us at this, they got themselves entangled with the americans. they rely on them military and economically. and let's start with it, rushes he was, we've heard said tom, tell me again, this is not preparing to invade ukraine despite the headlines. keep on coming from the western side, we have the russian side saying, well, this is will generated from america and the u. k. why does mister biden and teammates in britain want to get involved playing with fire like this? well, her american point of view, and if you look at it, there is no cost, the troubles in europe or the cost of who's some potential pick up down the line between russia and nate. so if you cranes allowed in today so well. yeah, sorry. if that were to happen, but i can't see that happening for

a considerable number of years. i. the republicans tend to talk big about ukraine coming in there. but the germans and the french absolutely opposed to that. they will draw the line. okay, robert harness, thanks for being with us. we want to time for now. we're going to press a coming later on. they'll be speaking. let's see what this headlines bring up for us. but to robert on his correspond to the diplomatic observer, newspaper based instruction, much appreciated. thank you. next because hasn't been comes as a top russian diplomat. as i mentioned, randall mainstream reports that moscow supposedly a my 70 percent of its military power needed to invade ukraine. another master piece of us propaganda war. 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. what does mainstream media stories on the supposed invasion? pile up native raj thing up forces near russia's borders and playing. carrying

pentagon troops and equipment was spotted landing in poland on sunday, near the ukrainian border. and nato's considering long term military increases in the eastern europe. to meantime, britain's defense chief says the u. k. will send 350 troops to poland. now seas. daniel hawkins next tonight examines what's behind the west obsession with russia. invading ukraine. 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 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 have ballooned in intensity and in depth. initial claims focused on the number of troops most good move to the border . as a weeks went by outlets cited analysts and sources, mainly anonymous, of 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, the 70 percent?

i mean, i mean, it 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 for an ovary shot to get the most memorable story, some even having to apologize for jumping. the gun reporting on a non existent war. we prepared headlines for many scenarios on the headline rusher . invade ukraine was inadvertently published around 4 pm. today on our 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. not

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 g b c. news about may. so, 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. out of 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. so the u. s. and the you are threatening new sanctions to cut russia off from the global financial system if it invades neighboring ukraine. but some experts say russia's already well prepared for coping with such measures if it was ever to happen as the current sanctions of spoke for nude criticism from political leaders in europe. you say they've been detrimental to that you economies. in fact, russia has made its economy more sanctions proof. it has been building a strong resilience. we must reduce our dependency on russian energy. i have to say that the sanctions policy that has been introduced against russia has done more harm to hungry than to russia. we discuss the potential sanctions with the british

american investor banker and writer mitchell fivestar, and he thinks the measures would negatively impact us economy more than their intended target. russia. i think that the sanctions effected the russian economy. i think that this is more about debt credit and leverage, and i think that most of the western countries are bankrupt. the united states has $300.00 trillion dollars in debt that can't repay $300.00 trillion. not 30 trillion when you include all the liabilities, the balance sheet of russia is a lot more solid, so there's a lot more wherewithal in terms of russia. so i think the united states, when it gets into a difficult position, the biden needs to start a war or some kind of diversion because he's got 20 percent inflation. people can't afford anything in america, and the economy is about to come crashing down because he has the biggest bubbles in the equity market. the bond market, the property, margaret, in history. and this cannot end well because it's way over leverage. the sanctions are not going to help russia, but they're not going to help the united states at all and it won't accomplish

anything. they will get a negative outcome like they have in the past or elsewhere. tonight the mirror of canada's capital cities declare the state of emergency, citing a serious threat to the safety of residence truck drivers have been protesting. and also for a tense consecutive day now of vaccine mandates authorities, they reportedly detained several people and seized more than 3000 liters of petrol . being stored as reserves for the truck is showing the crack that against the approaches moving on sunday on the wrong i . c please don't stay to the fuel and other materials in an effort to try to end. the truck is located in the city that has no losses and say for 10 days, the thirty's of threatened to arrest anyone providing supplies to those drivers. the protest is purportedly been issued around $100.00 citations for disturbing the paste, including using fireworks and holding noise pollution. we spoke to

a member kind of is some terry of provincial parliament, which includes the city of all to a. he told us the government's accusations of violence among the protest is with fabricate to the authorities. actions are unconstitutional. so all soon it's a fabrication. it's a pretext for what actually our government is doing. this is a very peaceful, friendly, energetic festival and winter carnival. that is happening to purposely distort and 5 would be working that this is in any means farther or dangerous is all we work with, provide them to talk to what they're actually doing. and that is, in effect, the who to talk against our cost to ship and removing all the checks and balances on,

on political and government $40.00. that's what is happening here in ken, in for many canadians. very, very difficult for many canadians to believe that were moved with act in such a reprehensible and such a destructive matter. because the people around 5000 people, the 1000 vehicles, flooded downtown all to our on sunday protest. this was a dancing and singing in the straits, although no trouble was reported the demonstrate to say the movements, the peaceful sand accused the government of smearing them with allegations of extremism calling brailey discussed the developments with danny armstrong because of protesting over the state. no job, no job stands by the canadian government that concerns truckers traveling between the united states and canada and that precipitated a miles long blockade that stretches all the way from canada to the usa of montana . and the government says the city is now the siege. 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 nation wide insurrection. prime minister justin trudeau himself has done everything to the credit to protest this, alleging they abuse, passes by, and even waved, not see symbols, including the confederate flag and incited violence. despite the protest is saying that they are peacefully protesting get for their rights. now this comes amid a huge police crackdown on the freedom convoy. people have been arrested for sharing fuel with the ciocca of her sharing supplies for already been several arrests now in actual fact, the pictures tell a whole different stories be an insurrection. yesterday i visited or to 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 festival rosen approaches. to be honest. i saw 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 at creation surround won't cut it. you have to have physical proof, be unreasonable doubt to be accusing them of terrorism. this is name calling the kids generally do so in contrast to them being portrayed in this extreme, a minority, you incite violence. the views of actually being shared by a lot of people in gone and support across canada, talking to that the support is what's going on with this go fund me. saw the governor of california is accusing that website. us based of doing something, a little dodgy with millions of dollars of donations. what exactly is going on there? because i mean,

the support that has been gone. it has been translated to the tune of $10000000.00 canadian dollars, and that's been raised on the go fund site and used by people who want to raise funds for all sorts site said it had conferred with the police and they said it goes against the site rules of prohibiting the promotion of violence and harassment that the court, despite these freedom come by protest. the saying again and again that they want to peacefully protest at the site said that people who had donated money could ask for a refund within 7 to 10 days. and then the rest would be broken up rather arbitrarily. among the charities, florida governor from the census label batt fraud and called for that, and investigation into how they would break those funds. so all those that did react with isla, most of course, is a canadian citizen, he called go phone me professional thieves has been of course, jordan peterson as well. who's pipes up, he's pop perhaps the the foremost voice of reason within the country. he would have

simplified the process for your users if you wouldn't have cal town and caved in trumpeted your virtue in doing so disappear. go on me. now got the freedom convoy has been a thorn in the side of the canadian government is declared the protest. all sorts of things. now also mat jim watson has declared a state of emergency. it's a developing story over the last 10 days and will keep you updated with all developments on r t dot com you know, providing online safety for everyone, even if it's had criminals. american cybersecurity company cloud further and is set to be sued by several major japanese publishers who accused of allowing piracy sites to use it. services and assess container reports isn't the 1st time the companies come under fire for dodgy activity on his platform. millions of websites rely on the us base network to deliver traffic quickly and protect them from threats. but while cloud floors eagerly fighting off 70000000000 cyber attacks every day, it seems to be bless, fussy 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, publishers, and mangrio artists who have dedicated their lives to creating these works with cloud for handing out a new copies for free. those who worked tirelessly on the graphic novels are left millions of dollars out of pocket. though the tact i insist it's not really to blame, but cow flat is a repeat offender. 82 percent of the legal traffic in the world goes through it servers, and it's not all as innocent as stolen manga drawings. no cow flyer has proved an oasis for the most hateful in the world who didn't know any of his customers for years. terror groups, web pages with images of child abuse, stone and payment card details, and new nazi and pro must 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 doesn't see the harm. and having hate speech

hanging round a website, his speech, it is not a bomb. we do not believe the investigating the speech that flows through a network is appropriate. in fact, we think doing so it be creepy. yes. better not take down, but i thought propaganda in case the terrorist can 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. well, if u. s. 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. see 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 cyber attacks . the platform and now both the f. b, i the state department, the department of interior and the library of congress as it's 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 at 900. 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 the an essay will press telecom companies for data to track uses. washington will ban federal employees from accessing wiki on now was computers and congressmen investigated the

parlor, but cloud flat. well, it gets a free pass on it. c, o hits a net was of $3700000000.00 is date. that's not his ourselves. well, this is a premise me, kevin. oh, in stand by for next programs. course you're part of the world and check it r t dot com for so much more from as to but a big news tonight. francis present microns here for a urgent talks with russia's liter regarding the current tensions of ukraine media conference and expected some time this evening. we're keeping an eye on that. this was urban hour or so ago after micron got here. that a very brief meeting on the opening of it that they televised. but then it says closed doors for now as i thrash it all out, what the outcome of that will be, we don't know, but there is a media conference planned as i say, since happens, we'll take there, whatever program we're showing and go live to it. this is our international. i'm kevin owen. good evening. ah,

ah ah ah. oh, driven by drill shaped bankers and those with

theirs sinks, we dare to ask ah, ah hello and welcome to cross stock. are all things are considered on peter labelle. is this the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning? russian nato are at an impasse. both have presented their visions of pan european security. needless to say,

there is no meeting of minds as diplomacy been exhausted. ah, to discuss these issues and more and joined by my guess, glen deason in oslo. he is a professor at the university of se or norway as well as author of the book, great power politics in the 4th industrial revolution. and in budapest we have george samuel eli. he's a podcast to read the gaggle which can be found on youtube and locals. hard gentleman cross up rules and effect, that means you can jump any time you want, and i would appreciate it. ok, let's start out with glen glen. as i said in my introduction, are we at the end of diplomacy here at the end of negotiations or is at the beginning of something because we are obviously an impasse. we have.
