12:01 pm
day. with hello, welcome to our to the nationals world, news at 8 p. m. from moscow with me, kevin, i 1st that in the president potent said, wanted nato against ignoring russia's key security demands, one of which is not alone. ukraine's membership of the western military alliance. the statement came as he met with his french counterpart in moscow and made soaring tensions of ukraine earlier. call him bribery gazda, of discuss some crucial points to vladimir putin made for the international community during that meeting last night. and i'm still, you ask me if russia wants to fight a war with mason. let me ask you. does nato want to fight a war with russia? if nato does nothing but demand action from us, let's not play that way. that's a bad sandpit. we don't like such a game. we hadn't heard brewton b,
12:02 pm
this direct this, these strong in his language in, in quite a while. look, there was, there is plenty of impetus. there is plenty of cause for this for both sides to be more open with each other, especially behind closed doors when nothing's going to leak. because emmanuel mack on said himself that there are days left days left to resort to resolve this crisis . and look, given the gravity of the situation, either it all comes down to what vladimir putin said. mutual security concern, he said we have with nato's growth ever, ever clues, encroachment towards russia's borders. what happens if you crane a sense to natal, if it's accepted and decided to launch a war and retake crimea by force, which is written in its doctrine that that is a potential avenue for you credit that would mean war lapse nuclear war between natal, his and russia, ukraine, of which,
12:03 pm
if you crane is in nato and tries to take by crimea by military means, european countries will automatically be embroiled in a military conflict with russia. there will not be any winners. do you really want to be in a war with russia? do you want france to be in a war with russia? because that is the way it will be, and neither mister macklin nor myself want such a development. time and time again, vladimir putin alluded to to the proposal security proposals to present the united states and nato, that the bulk of which were rejected. the chief concerns russia's chief proposals or even demands. and that is that nato offensive weapon it isn't stationed on russia's borders. guaranteeing that native doesn't expand further towards russia. vladimir putin said it isn't. look at, isn't us going closer or to, to, to nato's borders. it is them coming towards us. and also we're returned to the 1997, a infrastructure where,
12:04 pm
where various systems were back then that is offensive systems rockets, and the like. all of that has been met with dismissal or by the united states by native which head will, will expand however we want and you have no right to tell us where to go and hear vladimir putin said, look, this, this isn't going to work. we must, we must hear each other out. and manual mcaden heard him, but vladimir putin also say the theory part forward now here. ease or other means agreements. and that ukraine can no longer pick and choose which parts to, to implement and which to ignore what to do as a twice, already ukrainian authorities of trying to use military force to resolve the crisis in don bas, where are our currencies? but they won't try a 3rd time if everyone wants peace, tranquillity, and prosperity. tell me what's wrong with not placing strike systems near our
12:05 pm
borders. manuel macro on came out and said that yes, we must work together. and for a joint solution in which everyone security concerns are, are taken into account. vladimir putin also said that the manual macro made several proposals are behind closed doors that we will find about a fight about to soon on. but that they are interesting and that they will be discussed and we can you elaborate on that a bit? because what's the reading of where president micron really is on this right now? because his tone does diverge from the noise is coming from nato. it diverges drastically. and already there is a lot of speculation, a lawn, social media in, in france about why a manual makram spoke the way he did, which is yes, admit that marshall security concerns. ah, does that russia does have security concerns is a basic thing, but this is something that has been ignored for, for many years. there is,
12:06 pm
of course, as i mentioned, a motivation to get things done now, because europe's entire security infrastructure is at risk of a what's happening in new credit mission pos backer bt 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. new decisions on european security will be innovative . how innovative they will be, remains to be seen. nevertheless, we have a concrete proposals from mr. mack on ones which apparently vladimir putin found satisfactory, which is already a more progress than has been achieved in many months of this, of this crisis over what is happening in ukraine on a day after meeting with potent moscow. the crown then went to care for talks with the credit leader. let him is lensky tuesday. at an hour there would be peace
12:07 pm
associations directly between officials from ukraine, russia with mediation by germany, and france in berlin on thursday. what is your correspondent, peter? all of us got the details of it for the manual macaroni fast becoming the the go to a you man, the state leader for all matters serious, really stepping into that void that was left when angler merkel stepped down as german chancellor at the last federal election he's been a very busy man because he was in moscow on monday in ukraine. on tuesday morning, he had an awful lot to say, while he was in ukraine, i pledged that france would continue to be a part of financial aid that would be given to ukraine as part of a lots of money that's been handed to them by the the european union as part of, of grants as well as loans that are going to be given to them. he also said that there would be a continuation of normandy format talks. now these are talks that take place between representatives of the governments of france, germany, ukraine,
12:08 pm
and russia. they had been stalled for an awfully long time talk, hadn't taken place since 2019 before they did a couple of weeks ago in paris. they're set to take place again here in berlin, on thursday. now we also heard from emanuel microns speaking, alongside the a cranium president in kiev, about his time in moscow. he said that he'd received guarantees from the russian presidents over the ongoing situation regarding russia, ukraine, and nate. so he said that there were areas where there was potential to take the situation forward. and that he had a certain degree of confidence about being able to see things progress. sorry, on it, a fresh air has decided to put pressure on the international community. i have spoken to president putin about that and the sooner we need to collectively reinstate on our content. i have concrete, practical solutions which will allow us to move forward. i have raised there with president putin, as well as with our european partners and with our eyes. vladimir zalinski,
12:09 pm
the ukranian president, for his part used to his role in the press conference to say that kia remained committed to the minsk agreement. of course, we'll be hearing more about their discussions on that following those normandy talk . so be taking place here in berlin on thursday. well as that was under way across the atlantic, toughest down. so russia was being proposed, the u. s. president met with german leader all of shelves after which joe biden found that the 2 countries were put up a united front as it was described during the fraction states relations currently between the west of moscow by no. so were. busy threatened to hold the nod stream to gas pipeline. if russia were to invade you crate, there will be no longer a nor stream to we. we will bring it into. how will you, how will you do that? exactly. since the project in control of the project is within germany's control,
12:10 pm
we will, i promise you will be able do. officials in germany have repeatedly stressed the importance of rush and gas for the countries energy needs that cold to end the political dispute of the gas pipeline. so he's got nothing to do with politics. however, with the latest and of digging in germany, apparently is making a u turn to 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 and reactive neither. so you don't have to be concerned. there are some of have to be concerned who see themselves too much as a deliver of such resources. we are looking at opportunities to make up for lost gas, l n, g, from russia. we're under way of turn, how see what we can do to do that, do, did dealing with our friends around the world as well. we think we could make up
12:11 pm
a significant portion of it. there would be loss, ah, canadian prime and just into those accused freedom conway protests is a trying to derail the economy and democracy itself as the mass movement against vaccine mandate centers and 11th day individuals are trying to blockade our economy. our democracy get our fellow citizens daily lives. it has to stop. the freedom convoy protest movement emerged in late january of em, frustrations about vaccine mandates. but it's evolved into a broader criticism of canada's often strict cove at measures. authorities have been clamping daniel of already opened more than 60 criminal cases in connection with the demonstrations. there's been a growing chorus, a cold for candidates leadership to direct me negotiate with the protest as to such as this statement by retired police officer, mark foreman to the government of canada. and to mister trudeau,
12:12 pm
your plan for this pandemic has been dismal. you need to come back and talk to these people. they're not scary people. there's a saying that i'm sure you're familiar with and that's lead, follow or get out of the way. and mr shadow, you've proven that you're not a leader. but still side of it, police are accused of going viciously over the top as they cracked down, even on bystanders. backing the rally at one point, officers slammed a 78 year old man against a car and twisted his arm be on his back to arrest him. after honked in support of the demonstration, great grandfather was legibly severely bruised and suffered cuts. or what are you doing? what do you do? you like good luck to. so i got it all on video with over doesn't politicians and human rights organizations are signed. an open
12:13 pm
letter calling for the canadian government to negotiate with the protest is that and emphasize the participants should refrain from engaging in, fall and solving local businesses. let's get a view from california. allison pay of it, that virus from list of a she side this let. so one of the people that funded, hey thanks you time. nice to see what's the main purpose of your letter to the canadian authorities that to expect them to take it seriously? well, i mean, we haven't seen any sort of response or willingness to have any dialogue with our clients. we represent some of the organizers of the freedom convoy 2022. so the purpose is to put it out there in the public and let them know that we're on the ground and that we're willing to stand in and assist tonight, the negotiations on behalf of our clients. and that were there to defend their interests. no, the stable says you're 30 to put the truck is lives in danger by seizing the petrol . amid the freezing with the temperatures we reported on yesterday. what's your opinion on that? well yes,
12:14 pm
there has been seizure of fuel which the truckers need to keep warm as you know in canada right now. it's middle to winter time. temperatures are minus 20 degrees celsius overnight and they need that fuel to keep warm because they're sleeping inside of their trucks. and of course there's, there's no legal basis to arrest anyone for giving truckers fuel. i mean, if there is a charge of mischief, mischief relates to criminal intent and the protesters are not engaging, incremental activity. they're engaging in people, protest which is protected under the canadian charter of rights and freedoms. so the absolutely, this is governmental overreach and you know, we have serious issues with these actions. i hear what you say and the question is to think prime minister true goes, gonna listen and seriously negotiate with the protest is despite yoletta i can't speak for ministers intentions, but there haven't been any sign that he is willing to negotiate. and we're hopeful
12:15 pm
that going forward when you see that the protesters are not going to leave without some sort of negotiation. you know, that held change his tune. but right now, you know, there's been absolutely no sign of any other intentions, other than cracking down on these peaceful protests or through police. we enforce. we've been talking about this over the last 11 days or so. we've had various people in those protests say, well, the glad that we are because the mainstream media not covering it or not covering it accurately where you are true walk. absolutely. i was in ottawa last week and over the weekend and i walked around and saw for myself what was going on in the ground. and i can tell you the atmosphere in ottawa, the pro chest was one of the love, the protesters where everyone was smiling at me and smiled at and in 2 years, because we're all covered up masks in canada. and they're having balancing costs for kids. for protesters are feeding the homeless,
12:16 pm
they're shoveling snow for people and they're having dance party. i mean, a lot of times i did it. oh yeah. you don't take the wrong way. it sounds lovely, but we're also hearing some of the mainstream media released reporting that they've been incidents of racist being a vote on a case getting involved with. why have you seen that? absolutely not. if you know where it's a little while there's photos of a confederate flag at the initial i, we kind of the protest, but i've also seen a video of one of the protesters approaching the man with a confederate flag. and as soon as he was approached, he scurried away. so, you know, we, we have no idea who that was. and by and large, that thousands of people who are there, i can't speak for every single person. the thousands of people who are there, they're there because they want to freedoms found. what about the really annoying hong k to hold the keep people away the, you know that there are reports coming through the it is get these as nice as they are just saying as well as people are getting on, on the strongest people feel about it. some of the things that these protests is
12:17 pm
doing are annoying. other members of the public again, are you seeing much of that or no? well, i mean, yesterday there was a court order that the honking in downtown ottawa has to cease for the next 10 days . so there will be a cessation of that. the protestors were not honking overnight, but the hawking really was a symbol of, of the movement and a symbol of solidarity amongst, amongst the movement. surely the, you know, it's, it's not, it's not a quiet protest, but they're there to make their themselves heard. and, you know, the hunting isn't meant to cause destruction or to purposely harm any final 20 seconds. your view of the way the police is treated. it was really short for time. has it been over the top or not just generally what you see quickly please. at the beginning, it wasn't, the police are very friendly to the protesters, but there has been an escalation, and the escalation into confiscation of fuel is absolutely going over the top and, you know, arresting 8 year old gentleman for fucking horn is going way too far out. of some
12:18 pm
kind of virus from solicitor signed the letters in the future. it thanks for coming and telling us about your story, the appreciated. thank you. me. time to come by protest and against folksy, man, this is spreading beyond canada trucks and vans in new zealand. the block street to the city, wellington, surrounding the local parliament, people's demands the same to lift vaccine and mass mondays. people are just tired with it elsewhere. the usaa fundraising platform go fund me, is caught up in a controversy of to shutting down the appeal for the canadian freedom convoy claim the movement inside violence despite we just heard that despite the site having given its packing initially to a fundraiser for a seattle protest which blocked to lodge downtown area 2 years ago, denny armstrong takes a closer look at it tonight. it seems that one man's freedom convoy is another man's terrorism. crowd funding platform go for me, has frozen donations to the tune of $10000000.00 after siding with also that truck
12:19 pm
as were waging terror on canada. our city is under siege. this group is a threat to our democracy. what we're seeing is bigger than just a city of ottawa problem. this is a nationwide insurrection. canadian officials have pilloried the protest as an insurrection that has spiraled out of control and placed the city on the siege. mpm managed to pick out extremist among truckers dancing with children at mini concerts . the site has closed the page and frozen donations after claiming convoy protests had turned into a violent occupation. we now have evidence from law enforcement that the previously peaceful demonstration has become an occupation with police reports of violence and other unlawful activity. so we can safely assume that go fund may have always shut down. similar efforts to fund occupations surely course is actually named,
12:20 pm
occupy would be the 1st to feel the freezing wrath of go fund me right. well wrong in 2020, the platform that only hosted but actively promoted fundraising for the left wing supported capitol hill occupied protest in a community with no police. this farmer is feeding people and bringing them closer together. that's right. an actual occupation of smashing grappling things, shooting deaths, gun toting mass, gangs, and vehicle rings all in the name of a good cause, according to go for me. o. back then west. the media of course sang off the same virtue signaling sheet, describing the events as just one big block party is a far cry from the criminal activity of kiddy come sit and carrying fuel supplies. mm
12:21 pm
go fun me promoted the t for occupied chops. zone in seattle, but they shut down fundraisers for truckers protesting cove. it mandates. we've got questions. remember that go fun. me was perfectly fine with donations to chaz chop in seattle. that's where people were actually kill reminder when radical nest is to legally took over parts of seattle and multiple people were murdered. gofundme allowed multiple fundraisers to facilitate the unlawful occupation. so in the face of the chokers all for $1.00 and $1.00 for all mantra, it seems that it's one room for $1.00 and $1.00 for another. well, canada and left his leaning western media draw a fine line or no line at all between trucker and terrorist fundraising and fascism and peaceful protests and organized occupation. that is, of course, unless it is an actual occupation to
12:22 pm
a for cancer patients getting treatment. if it record highs in england, the state run national health service has been overwhelmed by panoramic pressure and staff shortages and struggling to provide prompt care when cancer patient told us any delays and diagnosis and treatment could be a matter of life or death. i'm still waiting for a bone scan. it was scheduled to be last august, but i didn't get an appointment. and man, i mentioned it's my j pe over christmas while i was having an update. and he, he then referred me for her to the doctor. and i'm having a phone conversation with the doctor in a few weeks time. we have to be very persistent. i mean, i was very persistent because the, if you don't kind of push, then you're going to go to the back of the queue. and that's not how it should be.
12:23 pm
it's a matter of life and death. it really is, because if you catch a contrast late and you have the treatment and the investigation, then that can be dealt with before it spreads drought. but a and i know because i have a sibling who died of the same time so that i had an it came back, etc. so it's very, very important catch cancer early the data compiled for the has a common shows of half a 1000000 patients of the weight more than 2 weeks. for colleges appointment. the number of people are unable to start the treatment within the stand. the time frame is reached, an unprecedented 75000 cases. in response to the british prime minister boris johnson's announce new tough targets and says, the government will increase funding to deal with about log health workers though. well, the biggest challenges for them are acute stuff. shortage is an unsustainable workloads . the cancer patient we spoke to that it goes further. so the government simply letting the n a chest delays are due to
12:24 pm
a lot of things they have. it's because the lack of funding over many years and, but we don't have enough staff. i mean, it is that in many, many medical areas, there's not enough medical staff. there's not enough medical training. the government have let the chest down for the for over a decade they've really kind of it seems to me that the f that's been more into privatizing be an a chest rather than it rather than investing in the. and there's no excuse for it, because there's been a lot of money wasted during pandemic on things that have been unnecessary and health care should have been the number one priority and all health care not just co bed top u. s. figures from white house press secretary jen saki to speak, and nancy pelosi haven't got them out. it seems that politics and sport don't mix
12:25 pm
as the use of aging olympics to school points against china. and with the international olympic committee changing its rules to let athletes protest, know those games are turned into something of a political football lecture is asking reports when say lympics and beijing are continuing and it still seems that politics and sport unfortunately go side by side despite the ios sees president thomas box plea to deprive those games of any political overtones. now, 1st and foremost, washington has pushed back on and early a statement by the house speaker, nancy pelosi. she said last week that she did not encourage us athletes participating in the aging olympics to speak out against the chinese government to make any political gestures and signs of political protests during the performance says, i do not encourage them to speak out against the chinese government there, because i fear for their safety in the latest press conference of the usa
12:26 pm
department, jeff saki, this spokesperson for the u. s. department said that, in fact, the biden administration did not say anything like that to the athletes. she said that athletes had 100 percent right to express their political views. all athletes have the pride to freely express themselves. and that is the case in evasion at the olympics. it's the responsibility of china to live up to its own obligations, to maintain a safe environment for all athletes at these games. we certainly support the right to peaceful protest. we haven't seen any political protests yet in beijing despite heavy political pretext through the games here. but we did see plenty of those during the tokyo olympics, and that is when the i o c changed, it's so cold. rule 50 from now on, athletes are in fact allowed to make political protests in the field of play without interfering with the actual sporting process. they are only banned from expressing their political views during medals ceremonies so safe to expect. some
12:27 pm
political protests happening here later on, and there's also another side of the political spectrum here. and that is the story of a chinese figure skater. we who fell twice during the competition effectively putting china and their team into the 5th place. important to know that julie was born in the united states in los angeles. and in 2018, she gave up her us citizenship decided to participate in the competition on the chinese national team. and after her demise in the competition, many have lashed out with very hasse criticism here in china, off the u. s. born athlete, the sunday post on the chinese a version of twitter which is called way ball here. gone it way, 200000000 views. and that was a post criticising joey, basically saying that the fact that she was allowed to compete in the steam is
12:28 pm
a disgrace in itself that she took someone else display someone who was born here in china. some uses went as far as saying that julia should have never been on the chinese national team because she didn't speak chinese fluently enough. all that basically comes in line with the policy of the chinese government to put very strong pressure on the athletes to perform for a very long time. the chinese government has seen the metal count as a sign of national strength. so that is indeed a double pressure on the chinese athletes, especially those under performing at the olympics. of course, i'm following all the latest developments here in beijing at the winter olympics. and i'll be keeping you updated daily from the chinese capital elixirs f r t reporting from beijing in china. yeah, really controversial this year is with us since nationals world news at a pm life for moscow. is me kevin, thanks for checking in. enjoy next programs in your particular part of the world next and maybe see again in half an hour,
