hello, everyone, help me with a asking me if russia wants to fight with nato, let me ask you, does night. so want to fight a world with russia to like that, but him a potent bones nature to stop playing games, ignoring moscow security demand, a strong word covers the russian and french presidents agree to work on stability amid the ongoing tens situation around ukraine. the us that takes a different road with president biden threatening that a crucial gear a p and gas pipeline would be shell. if russia were to invade ukraine, there will be no longer, more steam to we will breathe. how will you do that? i promise you will be able to add another new sphere. the plate in prime minister

accuses vaccine mandate because there's a trying to derail the country's economy. democracy as the rally, stretching over to the 11th day with a welcome to our international will use, attend from oscar with me. kevin, a company 1st and president potent won't nato against ignoring russia's key security demands. one of which is not allow ukraine's membership of the western military alliance. the statement came as he met with his french counterpart here in moscow last evening with sor intention of ukraine earlier calling braimer gas to discuss some crucial points that im uprooted, made for the international community in that meeting. and i'm so you asked 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 bruton

b 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, 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 concerns. he said we with nato's growth ever ever closer 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 rush is look grain of route one 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, the present, the united states and nato, the, 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 and closer her to, to, to nato's borders. it is them coming towards us and also were returned to the 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 here 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 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 with ukrainian authorities of trying to use military force to resolve the crisis in don bas, where are our currencies given you? 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 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, 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 soon. but that they are interesting and that they will be discussed. now 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 along social media in, in france about why a manual micron at 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, 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 packer bt. 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 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 macro, went to care of them to talk to the craney lead of let him as lensky tuesday and

announced that be peace negotiations directly between officials from ukraine and russia, with mediation by germany in france, in berlin on thursday at is your correspondent covers that for the manual microns 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 angular 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 lot 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, and russia. they had been stalled for an awfully long time, talked, hadn't taken place since 2019 before they did a couple of weeks ago in paris. they said to take place again here in berlin on thursday. now we also heard from emanuel microns speaking, alongside the a cranium president in keith 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 at a russia decided to put pressure on the international community. i've spoken to president putin about that we need to collectively reinstate order and our continents have concrete, practical solutions which will allow us to move forward. i've read that with

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 bad discussions on not following those norman de talks that will be taking place here in berlin on thursday was so good carolina for the counsel for foreign defense policy here in russia says the issues know more about maintaining european security overall than resolving the crisis in ukraine, the french president loose for his own place in europe and probably in the world because europe is into trouble. but i hope that they are, they have agreed on some way out maybe maybe coming days, but i'm not sure whether the coming days will be enough for you know, they will find this losing and on the roses of settlement. it's not the best it is

settlement of the crucial problem with the european. so trying to divert attention from the really show. the real issue is the expansion of aysa extension of military drug charged me to the core problem, european security. it turns also now russians are saying that only when we were talking with nathan the 30 years ago, which was the defense of alliance. soon as that time, neither became aggressive, meeting several aggressions and military branch. so united states is not interested in realizing europe doesn't want warranty or the media which immediately overflow or on the american territory, those nuclear, but they're not interested in, in the stable settlement in europe. europeans,

i'm interested. but fortunately, over the last several decades, they have the capacity for strategic planning and 1st the strategic action well as that was under way across the atlantic, a toughest out the sun. russia was being proposed, the u. s. president met with germany to all of shots of to which joe biden vowed that the 2 countries would put up a united front during the fracture state of current relations between the west of moscow. but also threatened to hold the nodes string to gas pipeline. if russia were to invade ukraine, there will be no longer a nor stream to we, we will bring it in. 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 with very amount officials in germany had repeatedly stressed the importance of russian gas for the countries the energy needs. they've

called to end the political to speak in the past of gas pipeline sayings got nothing to do with politics. however, with the latest end of digging in germany, apparently has been doing a u turn here and for 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 cash o n g from russia. we're under way of turn, how see what we can do to do that. they did 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 vice president of the erasure center forum that works to boost east west relations highlighted to,

to us who he thinks would suffer the most from any fresh sanctions. fear of potentially would be hurt more by the, for the banking russians. and russia would probably do counter thanking, justifiably, go to new also, nor tremendous for me would have been the initiative to do that. they would have latency. i'm sure that liabilities related to that germany. so it will be a big block of the german economy. and we don't have the l and g to actually provide them with my understanding is not sufficient gas anywhere in the world to make up what's provided through through russia and at the f, the costs, the price would be extremely, even if you did replace the supplies coming from the pipeline, it to be stream really costly. i don't think russia has any base, right. so it's the mostly nato, u. k,

in the u. s. that are the ones that are advocating based white. some had a big stories making around tonight in canada or a mass protest movement against toby vaccine mandates has entered its 11th day, and the authorities appear to be getting pretty vicious. in their cracked case in point officer pushed the 78 year old man up against his car and twisted his arm behind his back to detain him after he haunt in supportive demonstrate his tuesday, the elderly man reported to suffolk cuts and severe bruising or what are you doing, what do you do like i should like to so i got it all i'm video with the freedom convoy protest movement emerged in late january to vent, frustrations about vaccine mandates. but it's of over into a broader criticism of kind of a st cove. it measures authorities have been clamping down in the fall, ready open more than 60 criminal cases in connection with the demonstrations. the been a growing chorus and calls to for canada's leadership to directly negotiate with

the protested, such as this statement by retired police officer mark foreman to the government of canada. and to mister trudeau, 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 over doesn't politicians in human rights organizations are sounded open letter than calling for the canadian government to negotiate with protest isn't emphasized that the participants should refrain from engaging in violence, so harming local businesses. i spoke just eli, to a barrister and solicit, who was a one of the signatories, that letter, she told me there's no legal basis for detaining peaceful protested, or individuals providing supplies to them. i can't speak for my ministers intentions,

but there hasn't been any sign that he's willing to negotiate and we're hopeful that going forward. when you see that the protesters are not going to leave without some sort of negotiation, there has been seizure of fuel in which the truckers need to keep warm as you know in canada right now. in 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 fuel. i mean, if there's a charge of mitchell, 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, the, the governmental overreach and you know, we have serious issues with these actions. now the developments, so the u. s. fundraising platform go, fund mays caught up in a controversy to shutting down the appeal for the canadian freedom convoy,

claiming the movement inside violence, but worth bear in mind. the suspect, the sight having previously given his backing to a fundraiser for a seattle protest which blog to a large downtown area. 2 years ago, denny armstrong takes a closer look. 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 vendor 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 nation wide insurrection. canadian officials have pilloried the protest as an insurrection that is spiraled out of control and place 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, 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 death, 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,

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 in seattle. that's where people were actually kill reminder when radical left 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 jaw, 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 hit record highs in england. the state run national health service has been overwhelmed by panoramic pressure and staff shortages and is struggling to provide proper care. one cancer patient told us that any delays and diagnosis and treatment could be a matter of life and death and still waiting for a bound scan. it was scheduled to be last august, but i didn't get an appointment. and man, i mentioned it's my g pay 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 gonna 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 cancer slum early and you have the treatment, then the investigations then that can be dealt with before it gets dropped body. and i know because i have the sibling who died at the same time. so i had an it came back, etc, so it's very, very important catch cancer. early data compiled for the house of commons shows that half

a 1000000 patients have had to wait more than 2 weeks for an oncologist appointment the number of people unable to start. the treatment within a standard time frame has reached unprecedented 75000 cases. while early today that in response for his prime minister paras johnson announced new tough targets and says, the government will increase funding to deal with a backlog health work as though worn. the biggest challenges for them or acute staff shortages, an unsustainable workloads at the moment. the cancer patient we spoke to goes further, say in the view the government simply letting the n a chest down lays a lot of things there. it's because the lack of funding over many years and, but we don't have enough staff. i mean, it is 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. that really kind of, it seems to me that the efforts been more into privatizing the and i just 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 the pan damage on things that have been unnecessary and health. cash should have been the number one priority and all health care not just cove. talk you as figures from white house press, secretary gen saki to speak of nancy pelosi seems, haven't got the memo. the politics and sport mix as the use the beijing olympics to school points against china, with international limping committee, changing its rules not to let athletes protest. the games are turned into something of a political football lecture, just because there are reports back the winter lympics and beijing are continuing and it still seems that politics and sport unfortunately go side by side. despite the r 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 and early

a statement by the how speak and nancy pelosi, she said last week that she did not encourage us athletes participating in the beijing 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 obligations, to maintain a safe environment for all athletes that these games. we certainly support the

right to peaceful protest. we haven't seen any political protest yet in beijing 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 called 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. we who fell twice during the competition effectively putting china and their team into the 5th place. i 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

chinese national team. and after her demise in the competition, many have lashed out with very hard criticism. here in china, off the u. s. born athlete, the sunday post on the chinese version of twitter, which is called way ball here, gone it 2200000000 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 g 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 lexia r t reporting from beijing in china. that saw tintin. i still will these at 10 from moscow. is me kevin? oh, it an ex programmer. feel you'll part of the world coming up shortly. but out for me in the team. thanks so much for checking in for this latest update. ah, ah .

good driven by drink shaped bankers on those with there's sinks. we dare to ask the mediterranean is the world's most over fish seen on sustainable exploitation of its fish dogs, which maureen biodiversity undergoing thread a lesson the given the quota?

we should get guessed on the system because our system, i'm not going to pull the cookie careful from it or not because tech and wants to put our lives despite the eas promises to end over fishing by 2020. the situation is changing too slow. well, i'm very disappointed with this. they basically know in public interests, the also you know, in the interest of officially the only true interest of the fish route on the face showing the only ones in danger. the fishermen also at risk of losing or bugging them up. so when we get to them about that, i'm in oklahoma and i got them with the buddhism producer with
