1:02 pm
b this direct these, 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, 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 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
1:03 pm
natal, his and russia is look grain of which 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, 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 board. this guarantees that native doesn't expand further towards russia. vladimir putin said it isn't look at, isn't us, you go inclusive or to, to, to nato's borders. it is them coming towards us. and also we're returned to the
1:04 pm
1997, a infrastructure where, 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 be, must hear each other out. and manual mcaden heard him, but vladimir putin also shake the theory path 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,
1:05 pm
and prosperity. tell me what's wrong with not placing strike systems near our borders. manual macro on came out and said that yes, we must work together and for a joint solution in which everyone security concerns are taken into account. let me put in also said that the manual macro made several proposals are behind closed doors that we will find about a fight about soon. 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. i am on social media in, in france about why a manual makram at spoke the way he did, which is yes, admit that marshall security concerns. ah, does that russia does have security concerns as a basic thing,
1:06 pm
but this is something that has been ignored for, for many years. there is, 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 grade, mission, pos, backer betty? yes. it's 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. i'm revising fundamental principles or limiting fundamental european rights. new decisions on european security will be innovative. how innovative they will be, remains to be seen. nevertheless, we have concrete proposals from mr. mack on ones which apparently vladimir putin found satisfactory, which is already a more progress than has been achieved in, in many months of this, of this crisis over what is happening in ukraine on a day after meeting with potent in moscow macro went to care for talks with ukraine
1:07 pm
leader of lydia miss lensky tuesday and announced that be peace to go see aces directly between officials from ukraine, russia with mediation by germany and france in berlin on thursday. our teacher correspondent covering that next 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 loss 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
1:08 pm
between representatives of the governments of france, germany, ukraine, 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 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 on it. russia decided to put pressure on the international community. i've spoken to president putin about that need to collectively reinstate order. and our continents have concrete, practical solutions which will allow us to move forward. i've read that with
1:09 pm
president putin, as well as with our european partners and with our allies. will army zalinski 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, so he can also the cancelled for foreign and defense policy. here in russia says the issue is no more about maintaining european security over all than resolving the crisis. and ukraine. lefrederick president loose for after it was his own place in europe and probably in the world and into trouble. but i hope with they have a way out and maybe maybe coming late but i'm not sure. ready whether the coming days will be enough or, you know, they will find this, i'm sitting at
1:10 pm
a stand at roses of settlement. it's not an escalation. it is settlement of the crucial problem of the european security. they're trying to divert attention from the really show. the real issue is the expansion of nato expansion of military drug churchill need. and the core, probably you're in security, it's on turns also. now russians are saying that only when we were talking with native 30 years ago, which was a difference in the lights, anita became a lunch meeting early russians and military crunch. so united states is not interested in realizing europe doesn't want a warranty, or do you need me to say on the american territory those nuclear, but they're not interested in stable settlement in europe. europeans,
1:11 pm
i'm interested but unfortunately, over the last several decades, they have a strategic planning and for strategic action that was on the way across the atlantic a toughest time. so russia was being pose. meantime the u. s. president met with jim leader all of sholtes off to which joe biden valid, that the 2 countries would put up a united front during the fraction state of relations on going between the west and moscow at the moment. but also threatened to hold an old string to gas pipeline. if russia were to invade you credit, there will be no longer north steam to 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, we will, i promise you will be able to do who by show off to this, a bullet has got more on up by the way. officials in germany had repeatedly stressed the importance of russia's gas for the countries energy needs. they've
1:12 pm
called to end the political to speech of the gas pipeline. so he's got nothing to do with politics. but with the latest end of digging in germany, apparently making a u turn that and fitted 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 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 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. vice president of the erasure center a form that sir works to boost east west relations highlighted to us who he thinks
1:13 pm
would suffer the most from any fresh sanctions. europe potentially would be hurt more by these for thank russians and russia would probably do counter thanks. justifiably new, also, nor tremendous germany would have been with the initiative to do that. they would have a cancellation fee. it's all, i'm sure is liabilities related to that, jeremy. so it'll be a big loss to the german economy and we don't have the l and g to actually provide that minor standing. there's not sufficient supply of gas anywhere in the world to make up what's provided through through russia, and that's f, the costs. the price would be extremely, even if you did replace the supplies coming from the pipeline. if be stream li, costly, i don't think russia has any base, right? so it's mostly may know the u. k in the u. s. that are the ones that are advocating
1:14 pm
based ah, my tracking the latest in canada, they are a mass protest movement against cove vaccine mandates has entered its 11th day and the authorities appeared to be getting vicious in their crack. that a case in point, an officer apparently pushed as 78 year old man up against his car and twisted his army on his back to detain him. after he hoped, in support, demonstrated on tuesday, the elderly mans reported to suffer, cut some severe bruising or what are you doing? what are you doing like day? oh, sure, that's a so i've got it all on video with the freedom convoy protest movement emerged in late january to vent, frustrations about vaccine mandates. but it's evolved into a broader criticism of canada's on straight tov. it measures authorities have been clamping down and they've already opened more than 60 criminal cases in connection with the demonstrations that have been a growing chorus. rising a cold to,
1:15 pm
for kind of his leadership to directly negotiate with the protest as such as this statement by retired police officer mart foreman to the government of canada. and to mister tudor, 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. to message from the heart, there will, over a dozen politicians and human rights organizations have sounded open letter calling to the canadian government to negotiate with the protest isn't emphasized that the participant should refrain from engaging in violin, so harming local businesses. just tailor a spoke to a barrister and celeste, who was one of those that signed the letter. she told me there's no legal basis in her view for detaining peaceful protest as are individuals providing supplies to them. i can't speak for prime minister's intentions,
1:16 pm
but there hasn't been any sign that he is willing to negotiate. and we're hopeful that going forward. when he sees that the protesters are not going to leave without some sort of negotiation, there has been seizure of fuel which the truckers need to keep warm as you know in canada right now. it's the middle of the winter time. the 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 to you. i mean, if there's a charge of mischief, mischief, i'm relates to criminal intent, and the protesters are not engaging in criminal activity. they're engaging in peaceful protest, which is protected under the canadian charter of rights and freedoms. so the absolute latest this governmental overreach and, you know, we have serious issues with these actions. the u. s. fundraising part from gofundme that's caught up in controversy after shutting down the appeal for the canadian
1:17 pm
freedom come void, claiming the movement inside violence. despite the sight of an initially given its backing to a fundraiser for seattle protest would show a blog to lodge downtown area. 2 years ago, delhi armstrong takes a closer look at the story. 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 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 a spiraled out of control and place the city on the siege. m. p. 's managed to pick out extremist among truckers dancing with children at mini concerts. the site has
1:18 pm
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, 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 phone me o. back then west. the media of course sang off the same virtue signaling sheet,
1:19 pm
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 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 and seattle. that's where people were actually killed. 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 or for $1.00 and $1.00 for all mantra,
1:20 pm
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 delays for cancer patients getting treatment of her record highs in england. the state run national health service has been overwhelmed by panoramic pressure and stuff. shortage is really struggling to provide prompt care on cancer patient told us that 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 for last august, but i didn't get an appointment. a man i mentioned it's my j pe over christmas while i was having an update. and he,
1:21 pm
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 can go to the back of the queue and that's not how it should be. it's a matter of life and death. it really is because if you catch a cancerous lum late and you have the treatment, then the investigation and then that can be dealt with before. it spreads drought by day. and i know because i have a sibling who died at the same time so that i had and it came back, etc. so it's very, very important catch cancer early. it takes a composite for the house of commons, shows half a 1000000 patients of her to wait more than 2 weeks for oncologist. appointment the
1:22 pm
number of people unable to start the treatment within a standard time frames reach an unprecedented 75000 cases. well, earlier today, response, british prime minister boris johnson and i just knew tough targets that it says the government will increase funding to deal with a backlog. health workers so worn. the biggest challenges for them are cute staff shortages, non sustainable workloads. the council patient, again, we spoke to goes even further saying the government simply letting the n h s delays are due to a lot of things they've it's because their 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, for over a decade. they've really kind of, it seems to me that the experts been more into privatizing the chests rather than
1:23 pm
it rather than investing in the there's no excuse for it because there's been a lot of money wasted. during the pandemic. things that have been unnecessary and health care should have been the number one priority and all health care not just co bed top with figures from white house press secretary jen, psyche to speak at nancy pelosi seems. haven't got the memo. the politics and sport mix as they using the beijing olympics to score points against china and with international limpid committee, changing the rules to lead these protests. the game turned into something of a political football and some of everything else is going on there. alexio's, you have ski reports the winter lympics in beijing are continuing and it still seems that politics and sport unfortunately go side by side. despite the i o c's, president thomas box please to deprive those games of any political overtones. now 1st and foremost, washington has pushed back on an early statement by the house speaker,
1:24 pm
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 department, john 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 locations, to maintain a safe environment for all athletes at these games. we certainly support the right, the peaceful protest. we haven't seen any political protest yet in beijing,
1:25 pm
despite heavy political pretext to 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 political protest 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. joey 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 competitions on the
1:26 pm
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 of 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 a disgrace in itself that she took someone else's place. 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 and has seen the metal count as a sign of national strength. so that is indeed a double pressure on the chinese athletes,
1:27 pm
especially those under performing at the olympic. and 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 lexia recess, r t reporting from beijing in china. yeah, the se, nationals will these at 9 o'clock for moscow as well. thanks. have a much check it in. it's a kevin owens signing off. have a good evening ah, look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such order is it conflict with the 1st law? show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence, and the point obviously is to great truck rather than fear. a very job with artificial intelligence,

1:29 pm
the only interest of the fishery will be the facial and the only ones in danger. the fishermen also at risk of losing or bugging them up to them before they get to them about that. i'm with the bubble a with with this is boom. but the one bit of the show you can't order mit number anymore. and i'm rachel blevins in washington. county that's very convenient between president biden and germany's new chancellor. take place here in washington. as the president
