stabilize the global economy. you need to protect yourself and get inform watkins with tonight. you divide the phone on russia. the french president travel say to moscow for talks with letting me put it a manual micro notes. the kremlin is, quote, clearly not targeting your trade, but rather resets in nato. the you ties as a russian official branch, the country 70 percent ready to evade craters. us propaganda saying it's based on unnamed officials, undisclosed sources of no evidence in the late to the series of accusations of alleged russia aggression being held on a daily basis and the stores were falling through. tonight, canada's capital declares a state of emergency flaming. the city is on the scene by protest venting their anger against kobe vaccine mandate, ottawa's police threatened to arrest anyone providing material support now to groups of truck is conducting that ongoing clock, a part of the unrest. american cybersecurity firm, cloud fair,

is accused of facilitating piracy. the company still gets your state contracts despite accusations it protects the site hosting child abuse images and hate speech with other life smart international this monday, just in time for world news at 9 pm from moscow with me, kevin hogan. so 1st than while, as the western leaders have been fanning the flames of ukraine crisis tonight, french liter manuel cronies here in moscow, trying to fuse the tensions in a meeting with russians. let him put in the top level rendezvous began with some warm greetings early today in a brief televised. welcome. oh, just with oh, 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 bruton 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 really been hearing in the western world. we must protect all 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 for new mottoes to france. france is

one of your pleading countries and the crown is currently at the helm of the you. but 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 a resolute to continue to reject that proposal, that's actually one of the main talking points that micron has come to moscow to with today. earlier on top of that, the western media has also been carrying out and a campaign of hysteria around a legit 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 micron 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 putins 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 looked melancholy. who echoed these calls for a stop to nato expansion, even a 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. you know, take this is against televised again in that sir, me debriefing happens in the coming hours,

but meantime across visit comes across as a top russian diplomat rounded all mainstream reports that moscow supposedly a mass 70 percent of its military power needed to invade ukraine. another masterpiece 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. so as mainstream media stories on suppose invasion, pile up. nato's rushing up forces near russia's borders. a plane 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 eastern europe to main tie. britain's defense chief saying the u. k will send 350 troops to poland. next parties. daniel hawkins examines what's behind the west current 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. 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 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 source is 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? 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 chava 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 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 building up 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 force is deployed half way 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. at the most high level folks in years between nato and moscow breakdown and troops support on alerts calls for the escalation to fall on deaf ears as the media continue to beat the drums of war. and then there's this, the u. s. in the us threatening new sanctions to cut russia off from the global

financial system if it invades neighboring ukraine. but to some experts say, anyway, russia's already well prepared for coping with any such matches as the current sanctions of spa. renewed criticism from political leaders in europe to say they've been detrimental actually, to their own a, you economies. 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 discussed the potential sanctions with british american investor banker and writer mitchell 5 the thinks the measures with negatively impact the u. s. economy to 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 as $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 where we're all 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 to 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. as the us in a youth friend who imposed new sanctions against russia and deploy more nato troops to eastern europe, moscow meantime is adamant the such actions would be detrimental to regional stability. we discussed that issue with russia on boston, serbia who says make those expansion hasn't brought substantial benefits for the

countries that of, of most recently joined retreating is not the extension of nato to the territories of the balkan country does not lead to greater security. but to new contradictions and threats, no one has explained how these countries will benefit from joining nato. there was a lot of speculation that there will be unprecedented economic growth in flows of investments and so on. there are specific situations, reality show that nothing is promised or the attempt to have serbia join. anti russian sanctions is more moderate than toward the europe in union countries, but the policy continues. thank you. so coffee tonight tracking this one, the matter of candidates capital cities declared a state of emergency sites, a serious threat to the safety of residents. their truck drivers have been protesting. and also for a tense consecutive day of vaccine mandates authorities, they reportedly detained several people and seize more than 3000 liters of petrol. it was being stored as reserves for the truck as during a crack done against the protest movement that happened sunday. the wrong. here's

the. c so the police confiscated the fuel and other materials in an effort to try to end the truck has blockaded the city that has lasted 10 days. no. authorities threatened to arrest anyone providing supplies to those drivers. the protest is a proportionately been issued around a 100 citations for disturbing the peace, including using fireworks and causing noise pollution. we spoke to a member of candidate ontario provincial parliament, which includes the city of all to you told us the government's accusation of violence among the protest. this was fabricated and the authorities actions are unconstitutional. so all obsolete will also, it's a power cation. it's a pretext for what actually government is doing. this is a very peaceful, friendly, energetic festival. a winter carnival about this happening. and to purposely

distort, in fact, will be fabricate that this is in any means warm, violent, or dangerous, is wholly reprehensible. and we provide them to come on to what you're actually doing. and that is in effect being who to talk against our constitution and removing all the checks and balances on spawn by political and government authority. that's what is happening here in candidate in for many canadian is very, very difficult for many claims to believe that our government was in such a hassle and such destructive manner. because people are 5000 people with a 1000 vehicles flooded downtown or to a sunday protest is, was dancing and singing in the streets, although no trouble so forth. it demonstrates

a state of movement and the peaceful on the cues, the government, inter smearing them with allegations of extremism. earlier colon bray discussed the developments without any armstrong 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 located the stretch 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 just in trudeau himself, has done everything to this credit. the protest, this blessing they abuse,

passes by, and even waved nazi symbols including the confederate flag and incited violence. despite the protest is saying that they are peacefully protesting for their rights . now this comes amid a huge police crackdown on the freedom convoy. people have been arrested for sharing fuel with a ciocca, with her sharing supplies already been several arrests now. in actual fact, the pictures tell a whole different story is hardly an insurrection. yesterday i visited auto 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 rose and approach us to be honest. 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, wound 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 thing contrast to them being portrayed. thank streaming minority, you incite violence. the views of actually been 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. so 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 source site said it had conferred with the police and they said it goes against the site's rules of prohibiting the promotion of violence and harassment that the court, despite these freedom come by, protest as saying again and again that they want to peacefully protest as they

fight said the 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 that fraud and cold for that, and investigation into how they would break those funds. so 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. you would have simplified the process for your users if you wouldn't have cal town and caved and trumpeted. your virtue in doing so disappear, go fun. 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 were met. jim watson has declared a states 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. it will meantime demonstrators, the central london showing solidarity with the truck as protests in canada road of

rally the the u. k. freedom convoy covering the correspondent shudder. edwards dusty. well, dozens of truckers have headed from all over the united kingdom to right in central london and under the banner of the you k read and cotton for and now the movement of course began in canada as you've just had it rolling out across the globe. and hit activists. well, they really de monte and they're all of the vaccine mandate. secondly, the fighting of full freedom as i say, it's still very much it read. the messages is to empower each other. that's basically it. there's things going on in the world. we're not happy with when we listen to laws, legislation, liberties are being eroded at the moment. why come? because if you look across the world, the same things happen in every country. you go say, so why is it happening in every country? it's been, it's been too long, and basically we have to have freedom and they have blocking it each way. and the next thing you'll come along and we do the same again. we have to protect our

rights. that's why we're here. it's just about the situation in the countries, the worldwide problem, the tyranny's coming and people are not fully awake active because we are on the world are engaging in very similar to the wide by what's going on in canada. now we know across the lawn, what we just seen is the police are coming very heavy handed using the force of law on that just nation penalized not today has been some piece of what we know that the u. k. movement. ready has actually seen the piece with activists throughout the last 2 months. it is now really with upon deming, but today is not as big as expected. in fact, we were expected to see almost a 1000 truckers reaching this site for central london. i spoke to the very 1st truck driver. she entered down this very road outside new scotland yard. and she

told me that actually maturity of this call has been really outside of with them trying to get into a central london. however, some of them, as i have made it, i've spoken to some people even as far as quarter, which is 7 hours away. so hadn't entirely been a failure by any sense of the imagination, but interesting. the state of the current political maritime, the last 130 galvanizing movement. this movement of all these times is against the government, particularly bars, johnson and all his friends engaging and talking throughout the time they use that idea. that example as a reason why you can't trust the government because that was at a time when the government was telling everybody else to follow the rules. and they said they say the roof of 3 ripped up entirely. and you cannot trust the government . as for today though, we've seen many vehicles carrying signs of slogans like no more locked downs, no medical tyranny and freedom over offense. but one song has been charged and

throughout the morning and now off to noon, it's that these guys think that they are the 99 percent of this next providing online safety for everyone, even if it's for criminals. american cybersecurity company, when cloud fit is said to be sued by several major japanese publishers who accused the firm of allowing piracy sides to use services and assess container reports. it's not the 1st time the companies come under fire for dodgy activities, 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 through 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 only as innocent as stole among the drawings. no cloud flat has proved an oasis to 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 otherwise he'd ever 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,

but i saw 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 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 as extra reward for cloud flows, 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 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 telephone companies for data to track uses. washington will ban federal employees from accessing wiki leaks on. now, one computers and congressmen investigated the paula but cloud flat. well, it gets a free pass on it. c, o hits a net was of $3700000000.00. the one day 3, the beijing winter olympics,

and the russia figure skaters had taken the team's goal. this good news for russia, camilla, val ever becoming the 1st woman to land, a quadruple jump in and limping competition. but the games of course, have been without controversy covering it for us. there is a lecture of shasky reporting from basic a very good per day of the beijing olympics for theme of russian olympic committee winning their 2nd gold in the space of 2 days court to see off the ice figure skating team. there was little in free going into this round of competition because on sunday they basically sealed goals with very confident performances by mark to come, that i took and come leave. who absolutely turn the ice into shreds with her. stella performance getting very close to a world record in fact. so the monday session was almost irrelevant in that sense. russia was comfortable cruising to gold and confirmed it winning. the 2nd

goal, gold in just a space of 2 days and raining supreme in the overall metal stable. at the moment, there 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 corporate 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. now 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 ice wearing medical masks that 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 alex on the bush and off one r o c's 1st gold in a 30 kilometer race and a journalist from a u outlet free. skia asked him a question whether he felt that wind was clean, but 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 and beijing. my name is alexia, p reporting from beijing and china. all right, sir. sir, are you one day? did there cover one this? what is called the started nationals, world news at 9 pm with me, kevin, are going well, i stand by for next programs and your part. well, check it out. see dot com as well. so much more to talking to which the big news

tonight, frances president cronies, he era for urgent talks with the russian leader regarding the current tensions over ukraine. media conference is expected. we think it could even be in the next half hour. even the next 5 minutes, the less will go on with our next programs and we will let jumps up as soon as we can, but we're keeping an eye on it for you. for now, for me, very good evening. stand by as a say for next shows in your part of the world with oh, oh, driven by dream shaped man center centers with

syncs. we dare to ask a ah, so you know, the design center wake up. it's 2027. new 20 bow deserving of a new and have also metal. in 2027. sarah takes care of everything. ah, fully put you disney. jessica, she will fit easily and also go. oh like out of with daniel the nissan teeth joke. jose prieto the fuel content when.
