a with president putin and president micron have wrapped up there 5, our meeting focusing on new ways to find stability in europe. a russian official brands us claim that it is 70 percent ready to invade ukraine, as american propaganda stressing it is based on un named officials, undisclosed sources, and no evidence. if the latest in a series of accusations of alleged russian aggression being curled on a daily basis. in other news, canada's capital declares a state of emergency, claiming it is under siege from protesters venting their anger against coded vaccine mandates. ottawa police threatened to arrest anyone providing material

support to groups of truckers conducting a blockade as part of the unrest. with broadcasting lab direct from our studios in moscow, this is our international. i'm john thomas. really glad to have you with us. now, president putin and president micron have ended their extensive talks in moscow that lasted more than 5 hours. the 2 leaders discussed the situation around ukraine, agreeing to work on the stability in europe. for more of this, let's cross live to ortiz dawn a quarter who has been following these comprehensive talks between the leaders of these 2 countries. don, tell me what were the key points of the negotiations? either sean, well after like you said, just 5 hours of negotiations between putin and micron, there actually haven't been any major breakthroughs to speak of. and that was something that moscow had expected to begin with. but we did hear that the russian

president vladimir putin reader reiterated a lot of points that russia has been trying to make for some months now, specifically connected to russia's proposals for security guarantees. with regard to nato and the conflict in ukraine. the russian president specifically pointed to nato's hypocrisy when it comes to a when it comes to calling itself a peaceful organization. but at the same time, as accused russia being its enemy and then also refusing to completely exclude ukraine from the military organization. and now, according to the russian president though, he said that he and micron have come to come up with a few ideas that they'll be working on in the future if you will just nicholas d submitted. if you are resident macro, had several ideas about which it is too early to speak, which might possibly become the base of our next joint steps on ukraine. we'll see the results of president microns meeting and t f. those we have agreed to call and share our opinions after his trip to the ukraine colonial team. now as for micron,

he came to the meeting very optimistic, as he mentioned earlier in the day and at the press conference, the fresh, the french president also said that he was ready to work with russia specifically on the security guarantees that i had had to proposed back in mid december of last year, he mentioned that new mechanisms are necessary though to maintain security in the times that we're living in isn't boss becca, but it is necessary to build new mechanisms that will ensure stability in the region. but these new provisions cannot be built by revising the treaties of the last 30 years and revising fundamental principles are limiting. fundamental european rights in new sessions on european security will be in of 8th or not. it is a good. now it's also important to note the importance that vladimir putin placed on preventing a war between nato and russia. at the press conference, he pleaded with western powers that believe that ukraine should still be considered into the military alliance. he pointed out that the current government in kiev is

willing to take back crimea by force and russia is willing to defend it. so a war between those 2 countries in which all of the nato military alliance would be dragged into would be a situation in which prudence said there would be no winners or cheese on quarter, staying across any events for us there. if anything develops, we know you'll stay on top of that for us. thanks for that. right now, i'm a cross visit comes as a top russian diplomat rounded on mainstream reports that moscow's supposedly amass 70 percent of its military power needed to invade the ukraine. another must the 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 as mainstream media stories on suppose it invasion, pile up nato is rationing 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 is also considering a long term military increases in eastern europe. meanwhile, britain's defense chief says u. k will send a 350 troops to poland or to den 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 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 of ballooned in intensity and in depth initial planes focused on the number of troops most good move to the border. as the weeks went by outlets sighted analysts and sauces. 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 . 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 lease. 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 skepticism when it comes to us military announcements, military songs, waving flags. so anything that is said and said repeatedly, is a problem. outlets are falling over a shop 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 russia 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 heated. 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 all such 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 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 gbc news about nato 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 folks 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 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 is already well prepared to cope with any such measures as the current sanctions have sparked and renewed criticism from political leaders in europe who say, in fact, they have been to detrimental to their own, 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 a british american investor banker and writer mitchell firestick. he thinks the

measures would negatively impact the u. s. economy more than their intended target . russia. i don't 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 it 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 to sanctions are not going to help russia, but they're not going to help united states at all. and it won't accomplish

anything. they will get a negative outcome like they have in the past as the u. s. and you threaten to impose new sanctions against russia and deploy more nato troops to eastern europe. moscow is adamant that such actions are only detrimental to regional stability. we discussed the issue with rushes ambassador to serbia who says nato's expansion has not brought substantial benefits for the countries that have most recently joined. she didn't, you know, the extension of nato to the territories of all the balkan countries does not lead to greater security. but to new contradictions and threats if no one has explained how these countries do benefit from joining nato, there was a lot of speculation that there will be unprecedented economic growth in flows of investments. and so on. a specific situations, realities that show that nothing is promise or the attempt to have serve you join anti russian sanctions is more moderate than towards the european union countries, but the policy continues. meanwhile,

other high level talks have ended in washington with joe biden meeting german chancellor, all off schultz. now the discussions come amid pressure on berlin to take a tougher stance on russia. the 2 discussed the sanctions that would be implemented if russian troops were to go into ukraine and the future of russia's gas pipeline in a press conference. following the talks, the u. s. president reiterated that north stream to would not proceed if moscow toughened its position on the crane of port. it's russian rate. that means thanks for the troops crossing the border of ukraine again, then there will be, there will be no longer a nor stream to we will bring it into one that says, go live now to kill them up. and caleb, it tells more about the context of the meeting and what can we expect from future cooperation between the u. s. and germany?

sure, when we heard from the german chancellor and the u. s. president, they emphasized that the countries were working together in lock step as members of the nato alliance. now they also spoke about alleged russian aggression. never clarifying what this aggression actually was, but saying that germany and the united states were cooperating against it. and then from there, as we can recall, no conversation about the ukraine crisis is ever complete without references to the nord stream to pipeline, and talk about the natural gas markets and natural gas costs. here's how that issue with family. and i know are looking at oppertunity is to make up for lost gas, l n g, from russia. we're on their way of trying to see what we can do to do that dealing with our friends around the world as well. we think we could make up a significant portion of it that would be lost the energy mix. today we are talking

about one quarter of energy that is linked to gas. and only part of that gas comes from russia. big parts come from netherlands and of course it's very important to us that we develop the infrastructure that will give us the opportunity to have all options available in reactive nita, so you don't have to be concerned. there are some them have to be concerned to see themselves too much as the deliver of such resources. now, jen, saki, the white house spokesperson, gave remarks, basically saying that the situation and the way this crisis escalades are de escalades, is all up to russia. that the ball is all in russia's court, as the united states continues to allege that russia is somehow planning and invasion of ukraine. this is what jen, saki said. this said yesterday that a much more likely more ology folders that yesterday, that an invasion could come in today. can you help us where the difference here,

why there still seems to be such a dark star differences or something. threats were pursuing a 2 track approach, which includes deterrence and diplomacy. but that we are ready either way for whatever decision president putin might make. and we don't have a new assessment of, of his decision and where he stands on it. now russia has made clear they have no intention of invading ukraine. there have been issues raised about security guarantees. when we heard from the chancellor, germany and the president united states, they discussed issues about the nature of the nato alliance. the cooperation between the 2 countries, economic relations many looked on and heard what many were thinking might be a little bit more of an eventful press conference. but it seemed like it's pretty routine remarks that we heard from the 2 leaders of the nato countries. ortiz caleb martin there in the united states, keeping track of things. if something does happen, we'll be here. we'll be covering that. i'm sure,

thanks for that. appreciate it. i now the mayor of canada's capital city has declared a state of emergency, citing a protest as a serious threat to the safety of residents. truck drivers have been protesting an ottawa for a 10th consecutive day over vaccine mandates. authorities. there reportedly detained a several people and seized more than 3000 leaders of petrol being stored as reserves for the truckers during a crackdown against the protest movement on sunday. on the wrong a . c police confiscated fuel and other materials in an effort to end the truckers blockade with authority threatening to arrest anyone providing supplies to those drivers. we spoke to a member of canada's ontario provincial parliament, which includes the city of ottawa. he says the government's accusations of violence

among the protesters are fabricated and that the authorities actions are unconstitutional. no, it's absolutely a also, 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 a to purposely distort and fabricate fabricate that dishes. in any means bonded or dangerous is wholly reprehensible. but it does provide them the cover to what to actually do. even that is in effect the to, to talk against our constitution and removing all the checks and balances on political and government afford. that's what is happening here in kent deleted.

and for many canadians, very, very difficult for many counties to believe that our government would act in such a reprehensible and such a destructive medal. it has to keep with kent around a 1000 vehicles and 5000 people had again flooded downtown ottawa on sunday. protestors were seen dancing and singing in the streets and no trouble was reported . john, honey, was there throughout the weekend. o t houses for the children, free food and coffee. muse. ah, we're like a winter carnival than a protest, but a protest it is for is auto a police and city officials describe it, an illegal occupation. this is the main staging area of the broadcast. this is where it all started. some of these trucks have been here from the very beginning, and it's just outside the main gate of the parliament trucker mike johnson says

he's been parked outside the parliament gates since january 28th, and has no plans on leaving. we're here because individual or dollar should have the authority over their law. firms were making their own decisions, especially for their home bus. for the body bus drives, many others we talked. you agreed. the protest was not only about canada's mandatory vaccination and quarantine rules for truckers. ah, but the countries overall coven 19 restrictions. this is the 1st time in 2 years that i've seen an actual future for my children. kevin sergeant says he's a father of 5 from a small town, 2 hours west of ottawa, who along with his friend jordan teal, had been camped out in ottawa's since january 28th. he been giving us a tour of their vehicles, generator and all i can't go to work because a man vaccinated. so i'm a mechanic, i can't go to spirit, go to work for it. i'm also in school to get my license. but because trudeau deemed

the schools a non essential service, i can't go to school without a vaccination. it's hard to ignore it. you can hear him all said, is we got everybody's dungeon. the whole world's watch. similar protests have spread throughout canada from toronto to vancouver. and support has come from all over the world, including the united states. donations have also poured into help the truckers and the so called freedom convoy protest. but there's also dissension. that is divided canadian and over this very political fight, the fundraising website, go fund me, seized $9000000.00 in donations to the truckers saying the money would be refunded due to what it said was a peaceful protest that has become an occupation. transit stations were closed in downtown ottawa, along with malls and many stores, though some did remain open. still thousands of people streamed into the city, including many families over the weekend to join in the protest. while groups of police officers patrol the streets, volunteers handed out food, water, and other supplies, all the while, truck wars and sirens from corps blaring within

a short distance of apartment building. there been reports of some verbal and even physical applications between protestant borders and those against it. chad fennel runs a trucking company in newbury, ontario about 7 hours from ottawa and says he's traveled back and forth twice. it's january 29th. he says he's been using his trailer for trash disposal. what's the vide been like? one of the most positive experiences of my life? thought 5, like everybody here is positive, even most even, most of the cops are too, i'll say that. but ottawa's police chief said his department's resources had been stretched thin and warned that anyone attempting to bring quote material to support the trucker starting monday would be subject to arrest several questions remain, including how much longer can or will the protest continue, and whether or not the fight over freedom from cannon is vaccine mandates has

become a battle of wills. instead. for r t john had he demonstrators in central london are showing solidarity with the truckers. protests in canada at a rally they have dubbed u. k. freedom convoy, our correspondent shouted edwards dusty, has more well, dozens of truckers have headed from all over the united kingdom to right in central london and talking 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 back, the mandate. secondly, the fighting of full freedom as i say, it's still very much at rest. the message is to empower each other. that's basically it does things going on in the world. we're not happy with when we listen to laws, legislation, liberties are being eroded at the moment to wake up because if you wo, the same things happening in every country, you go say so why is it happening in every country?

it's been too long. and basically we have to have freedom and they have each way. and the next thing you'll come along and we do the same again. we have to protect our rights. so that's why we're here. it's just about the situation in the countries, the worldwide problem, the tyranny's coming people are not fully awake. active, several country around the world are engaging in very similar to the ruling slide 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 . i'm not just nation to penalize not today has been some piece of what we know, that the u. k. movement knows, actually seen the piece, i think a change 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 the sites of central london. i spoke to the very 1st truck driver. she entered down this very, very outside knew scotland yard. and she told me that actually majority of this convoy had been 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 been finally been a failure to buy any sense of the imagination. but interestingly, the state of the current political maritime, the last name right away, is really galvanizing she has a movement. this movement of all the times is against the government, particularly bars. johnson and all his friends engaging and talking throughout the time they use that id as an example, as a read, the more you call them because that was at a time when the government was telling everybody else to follow the rules. and they said they say the roof 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 down, no medical tyranny and freedom over. but one song has been charged throughout the morning and now off to noon is that these guys think that they are the 99 percent 35 minutes. that's where i will be back with another full freshly. she knew this is our to international. ah oh

ah i prefer is your media a reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safe?

isolation community? are you going the right way? where are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to descend to join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. oh well it shows the wrong one. 0, just don't hold any world. yes, to shave out disdain, to come to the answer to an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart,

we choose to look for common ground. ah ah, all you need is a shuttle wake up. it's 2027 new 20 paul van you and i've also met them. in 2027, sarah takes care of everything. mm. fully petitioning just casual favorite abortion oleg out of with daniel, the nissan teeth joke i'll say pretty frequently when olympus was up. sarah is a virtual assistant. who knows exactly what's best for you over to about this class

. just had a sunni imogen kick was able denique citrusy was it's usually not potty. what you saw denise didn't did to swa, which is obviously still new media type. unity is professor everywhere you go. artificial intelligence like sarah predicts your needs and does the work for you. ah, usually use little glossy. busy was told you to do with, with all of these machines working for you, isn't life wonderful in 2027 and that's all but let's not get carried away before sarah changes your life forever. there's another story to tell one with less special effects. why?

this story takes place behind the scenes of those businesses who are working to invent our future to the left side to deal with. for now, it's hardly this wonderful world where machines are working entirely for mankind. in fact, you can say is exactly the opposite. humans are involved in every step of the process when you're using anything online. but we're sold as this miracle of automation. google, facebook, amazon, goober, these digital giants are using a completely invisible workforce to keep their applications running. or went. technology can actually find them, pay them a tiny amount of money, um and then get rid of them when you don't need them anymore. a workforce that is disposable and underpaid. on a very good day, i could do $5.00 now.
