[000:00:00;00] a good are you doing? what are you doing with like a canadian police? go in heavy at the anti back st. monday protests in altura as prime minister trudeau tries to belittle the demonstrators. a few people shouting and weaving. swastikas does not define who canadian or thousands of people coming down here showing support. there was why, you know, there was music report from the canadian campus. i went to find the government pushed back the protest. so passing off people, it also this, our ortiz, german language channel appeals berlin's broadcast bath. we have from the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman movie. as a, however,

the german government said it had nothing to do with the conflict, but they did not hide the irritable reaction to the work of tea. and the german union of journalists paid a big role. you can say as much as you like that the employees of r t, i know john this the to this you need to have some criteria. date funding is not an indicator cuts universal credit and flooring bills are taking it's toll on families just getting by resulting in them doing something they never imagined. like using a food bank and the millions in britain, experian food insecurity and the spike in the cost of living asi, visit the food bank to hear how it's hitting household a very warm welcome from our team. her in most good. this is ality international with the latest world news update is great to have you with that with the canadian capital still in the grip of mass cove. it vaccine monday protests, the provinces of alberta and saskatchewan,

they're paid to have relented announcing an end to their proof. of vaccination policies, but to all to a police are instead clamping down brutally arresting even a 78 year old great grandfather of the he honked his car horn in support of the demonstrators, leaving him with cuts and heavy bruising her. what are you doing? what do you do with you? i did. oh, that's a so i got it all on video i oh, yes you did. i thought you were running in. ah, the canadian prime minister has accused vaccine monday, protest is of trying to derail the country's economy and democracy going so far as to label them as a small group shouting and waving swastikas. this is a story of

a country that got through this pandemic, by being united and a few people shouting and waving. swastikas does not define who canadians 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. they will, 4th, he's have openings nearly minutes. response to the movement has only added fuel to the fire. i've been vaccinated my whole life, so i wasn't scared of the vaccine. what, what made me want to come here was when i saw a prime minister and get up and call these people races, like i said, i'm a truck mechanic by trade. i've been working with these guys for 20 years. and i've

never once met people that you would call racist in the trucking trade. when they froze our economy, they didn't raise any loans. there was no legislature that caused them to raise any loans. and they didn't lower taxes respectively. so people are losing their homes are losing their business, they have no income, and they're being except stored to get the bad scene in order to just stay employed . so they don't lose their houses. the mass don't make sense, none the laws that they've come up with their little rules and mandates make sense . their mandates have been way out of and and we need to go back to freedom. we need to go back to the way we were before. well, there were thousands of people coming down here showing support. there was why, you know, there is music there were bouncy castle, their families range children. well that's really calm down. it's so much wider atmosphere, not necessarily here, but in other parts of the city as the police really rad. sure enough,

there in horseman measures they issued more vehicles. they're basically trying to cut off the fuel supplies to the truckers and also fine have increase. so this is all part of the effort that basically shut this process down. however, the police chief here in the city said, i need an additional $1800.00 officers to do so. they called on the federal government to help government official depaul. this is an insurrection, mostly from what we saw and talking processors is very peaceful over the weekend. but there is some volatility now that things are quieting down. yesterday, we are talking to some of the protesters and supporters residents of the area walking by calling them to go home, making much of your residence file class action lawsuit. the judge granted a temporary injunction and try to shut this boy down. but at this point in the middle of the protest, not only here but elsewhere, continues, and really a lot of support coming in internationally as well. the federal, the federal government get lady officials want this to stop. now the question is, how much longer will this go on and will it really be

a battle of political will. it is for more than a dozen canadian politicians and campaign groups, according on the government to negotiate with the protest, is they've published an open letter, which also appeals to the demonstrators, to refrain from violence or harming local businesses. one of the signatories is a leading lawyer who told r p. she believes there's no legal basis for detaining pays for protesters or people providing them with supplies. i can't speak for crime ministers, intentions, but there haven't been any sign that he is 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 mischief, mischief relates to criminal intent and the protesters are not engaging in criminal activity. they're engaging and people protest which is protected under the canadian charter of rights and freedoms. so the absolutely the governmental overreach and you know, we have serious issues with these actions and we hold up in a convoy protests against the private bank for monday. sa, sporting beyond canada, and new zealand trucks and vans and flock streets in the capital. wellington, for a 2nd day surrounding the parliament building, hundreds of people turned out to support the process. demands that the same is encountered as to lift, vaccine and law mandates. are similar rallies in france with protest is gathering in nice to vent. there are on good about vaccine path is required for entering restaurants and other public places. at demonstration,

inspired by the canadian freedom come for is expected in paris on saturday. in the midst of a 10 standoff with russia, the usa it sees no need for immediate sanctions against the north streams who gas pipeline, which links russia to germany. us, president biden had earlier threatened to shut down the project if russia would invade ukraine. ortiz at south sky taylor has the story. north stream 2 is now front and center in the ukraine crisis, because while both nato and key of now agree, but the imminent rush invasion they've been waiting for 4 months is unlikely to happen. the u. s. president disagrees and has decided to take the pipeline out for a final politicized ride. there will be no longer a nor stream to we will bring it in. how will you, how will you do that? exactly. since the product and control of the product is worth in germany's control, we will,

i promise you will be able to do for europe sake. one can only hope that this incredibly detailed plan of biden's to stop a sovereign countries economic dealings with another sovereign country will be asked for town as his plan for the afghanistan with twirled. but white doesn't bite and want berlin is cooking dinner over russian gas. well, some accused president putin, unlike bite, of course, of using gas as a political weapon. what if he flicks the switch and hundreds of millions a hit by the great frees like that time back in? oh no, wait, never, president biden has made clear that nordstrom, too, is a bad deal to bad deal because it divides europe. it exposes ukraine and central europe to russian russian manipulation and because it goes against europe's own stated energy and security goals. so thought of a cation of the project is on hold. and moscow, for its part, thinks that brussels has failed to do the mass that the shooting for this is also senseless. for those who don't let the system work,

because additional gas supply to the european markets would unquestionably lower the stock and spot price. okay, so biden's worried about poor europeans being at the kremlin. marcy makes much more sense to pay more for american liquefied natural gas. and i have the privilege of being a washington's marcy, but that's not the only concern. another big issue. crane won't get a cut. now at the moment, keith gets more than a $1000000000.00 a year for allowing russia to pipe gas through it, nor string to would bypass ukraine and for some in brussels. that's unacceptable. these is unseen ones and the sanctions are unprecedented and have been coordinated and prepared with old partners. i would like to add that due to the close economic into defendants of all the partners involved, especially my country. yes, we are prepared to pay a high economy price when you crane securities. let's take an a high price. it will

be if laska retaliates to any potential western sanctions. europe may have just 6 weeks of gas in the tank. and then what? because for washington's promise is to find its allies alternative energy sources. so far, nothing cattle said no can do, don't have the resources. u. s. companies that were maxed out in any way. we can't match the russian numbers. in fact, for all the threats and lost pounds of biden, that's a real consensus. no, russian gas, no warm and cozy europe, a global mass. europe has no alternative to russian gas. you have to divert half of the liquefied natural gas that asia concerns. that would mean massive energy shortages all across asia. this idea that we will fill the gap with liquefied natural gas. no, you can't. little one to than that. the german chancellor has been less keen on publicly promising to turn off the tap, especially since he knows that even if they did decide to care about ukrainians,

secure 10th brave the cold by hitting the old way by wood. well, even then there's a bit of a catch, but there shouldn't be much of what you don't with. guess you're developing nuclear energy. we'll see you going to do burn firewood, which you don't even have. does it have to go to siberia to get firewood? and yes, no old string to dead in the water wouldn't be great for russia either. but then again, moscow didn't just sign a 30 year gas deal with beijing. and just the fun they decided to settle the bill in euro. jim and jeff lexical analyst rainy roth fis believes the despite the u. s . pressure node string to is too important for berlin to drop. germany understand, sir, that it is too dependent on the north stream to project. we meet the gas supplies for our domestic market in under circumstances when the gas prices are soaring. many users of gas now are really, really under economic pressure through

a soaring gas prices. and so i'm pretty confident that the german government will turn a to a full certification of the pipeline project and will not sacrifice this join to german russian gas supply project in the ongoing ukraine. conflict ortiz, german language channel, is appealing, again, say, broadcast, span imposed by berlin. the argument is boiled down to some confusion over a subsidiary companies. role media regulators, bands, the channels thing, the berlin base, the r t d e productions doesn't have been necessary broadcasting license. but the crux of the matter lies in the fact that the channel goes on air from moscow and notes. berlin, as is claimed, while the production company provides some content for the channel, it has nothing to do with getting it on the air. the controversy surrounding r t d was one of the topics on the table for our exclusive talk with russian

foreign ministry spokeswoman maria. the horrifying either of these artists, dora gill minute, there's nimble of what it is. we have heard statements like germany was supposed to issue a license, but did not. therefore, broadcasting is prohibited. it's a lie. it's not true. the tv channel broadcast from moscow, russia, in this case, germany has only one link, and that is the language. it is absolutely in no way connected with the issuance of a license. germany spoken not only in germany, but in austria and switzerland as well. will they also issue this is to everyone who produces products and german. the license is obtained in serbia. it gives the right to broadcast and $33.00 countries that's according to the convention on trans national broadcasting. all. this is a classic trick of propagandists when a fact is taken, lies are added to it, mixed up and then offered to the consumer. i know the r t d will be fine. i'm not

interested in what the german authorities will do. i know what we will do if they follow the path of escalation. they will see a mirror response, but if they follow the path of reducing tensions, they will see a mirror responds there as well. solution give marcus a leading u. k. charity has revealed that millions inverse in our living on the bread line and are increasingly turning to food banks this winter. struggling households are facing a triple threat right now with inflation pushes that grocery prices energy bills are about to saw by more than 50 percent or government welfare payouts face big kurtz ortiz that shoddy at was does she reports from a food bank in london? but putting suit on the table is the most important thing of haven't should do for their kids. last month, a 1000000 adults in the u. k. went at least a whole day without eating anything. because they simply couldn't afford it. as a familiar story that we come across in london in different burrows, many, many parents are during, are they literally reduced and nutritional intake?

in order for the children to have a decent meal. and then if you look at what are decent meal is that in itself is awfully well balanced meal. rumbling tony's and belly aches, are not uncommon as the cost of living source. 3, emergency food passes are handed out to families and needs every minutes. and he prices a sky high grocery prices are inflating, while government handouts are low forcing many people to rely on charity and food banks like this one to make ends meet. we've seen a, over the last 4 fortnight's an increase in 35 percent of all uses. the rise in inflation and the cost of living has affected impacts every single household. so as come home to people. and you know, you've got a real choice of either heat your home or literally putting a full plate of food on your plate. and it's the same pitch across the whole of the capitol. it's all about policies. it's all about policies, local policies, and, and how that trickle down to the end user,

which is the local citizen in the community and how that impacts their daily life. the already harrowing di lemme of eating or heating is reaching a breaking point where households may be unable to do either one in 10 households have been skipping meals or going hungry, while about 2000000 children have been left without access to a healthy diet. the government says it will help alleviate the financial pressures . we know this has been a challenging time for many people, which is why we're providing support, wealth around 12000000 pounds is financial year and next to help households. the cost of living, including putting an average of $1000.00 pounds more per year into the pockets of working families. we have announced a further 9000000000 pounds to protect against the impact of rising global energy prices. but it's not just those below the bread line seeking, people like taxes help financial difficulties. the pandemic cuts universal credit and soaring bills are taking its toll on families just getting by resulting in them

doing something they never imagined. like using a food bank, the poverty affects everyone in a different way. it doesn't mean that you're out on the home homeless on the street with no money, no food. that's not the case. no more. you got working households lobbying efforts . if you all single parents, you got a whole different group of people that are affected in one way or another. and it's kind of like putting an onion. i look in all the different layers you got to under some food and security is a lot more complex than it used to be. researched by food campaign is on supermarket. basic ranges shows an increase on the lowest cost items is way beyond average for incense, the cheapest generic pass to, for example, has risen a 141 percent and a year. and tesco a leading supermarket in the u. k. ones, it's only going to get was in some ways to wants to still to come. because although food price inflation in tesco last quarter was only one percent, we are impacted by rising energy prices. and it's not just brit starring the brunt

global food prices. sword, by 1 point, one percent last month. as in, closer to 2011, all time high. a whopping 22 percent of the population, or 14500000 people were living in poverty before the pandemic. 2.4000000 on the brink. that number is surely going to balloon in size is the cost of living souls yet again. and while food banks are a lifeline, they can only go so far. shut edwards dusty, r t. london. the world's biggest social media network is threatening to pull out of the e. u over demands from regulators. brussels wants to stop meta, which owns facebook, instagram, and what's up from transferring the personal data of european uses to us based servers saying it's a risk to privacy. his on europe correspondent, pizza oliver. social media was supposed to bring your soul closer together on line,

but now the biggest fish and the internet pond meta, the parent company behind facebook, and instagram seems to be giving away lessons in how to lose friends and alienate people. the message to you from mark zuckerberg, empire give us access to your data. a will take access to our platforms away from you. if we are unable to transfer data between and among countries in regents in which we operate. or if we are restricted from sharing data among our products and services, it could affect our ability to provide services the manner in which we provide our services and our ability to target ads. in the summer of 2020 the european court of justice and the older treaty that allow trans atlantic days are transfers. this was due to numerous violations of european citizens privacy by us base companies. with some of that data ending up with us spies that be an essay, a new deal is being discussed,

but it's not unlikely in the 1st half of 2020 to only an arrangement that is fully compliant with their requirements said by the court can deliver this to be witty and legal certainty, stakeholders expect on both sides of the atlantic. there's just on the 310000000 facebook years is a europe messa. it's threatening to cook them off unless a new deal can be struck. specifically, a new deal that will allow the data harvesting to continue. we will likely be unable to offer a number of our most significant products and services, including facebook and instagram in europe. critiques of method say they hope the us, the he miss will follow through on it thread but don't expect the. busy empire, to turn it back on the money it makes from europe just yes, given much as profits in europe, i would rule out that the company will carry out its threat. at any rate, a withdrawal of the surveillance collapses from europe would be welcome. because he would finally get better competitors,

a real chance and the framework of the plan digital market sacked. we are fighting to end out dependence on cult prices like matter by means of interoperability in order to give users a real choice. lawyers who have worked to expose the data breaches of facebook saying that there are ways to fix this, but it requires guarantees that european citizens info isn't ending up in the hands of us intelligence agencies. we wonder why they do not work on a stable solution that ensures that only the absolutely necessary data goes to the u. s. this is doable, but obviously requires investments by facebook. these are choppy, sees that meta is sailing on last week. the company last active dale uses for the 1st time in its history, not sent the stock price tumbling by nearly a quarter, despite the threats of a year, a p and pull out the financial implications of doing so,

are highly unlikely to be popular with shareholders. feature oliver artie berlin, privacy activist on technology expert bill new says there are a number of scandal surrounding facebook and it's a inability to provide data security met. so could quite easily set up a, an infrastructure in parallel in europe and process the data there. there are a number of different options it could take the most obvious, oh, sure of all is for it to actually comply with the law. there been any number all scandals involving facebook and it's inability to actually implement our privacy and security effectively. it doesn't seem to learn extra territorial laws that exist in the u. s. need to be revised in order to introduce a certain key elements we, we need that to be a level of transparency. we need that to be the opportunity for redress such that if your data was abused or seized,

you can challenge that in the quote. but don't think facebook is ever actually going to cut off that service to europe, or it will try and reach a compromise. ah, at the winter olympics rush and figure skaters are still waiting for their metals. the delays, apparently down to an unspecified legal consultation as alexi our south sky reports from bating a rather market situation is ongoing. now in beijing with the russian, if ice figure skating team the team, one of the metal in the team competition just a few days ago. and yet they are to receive their metals. the metal ceremony has now been delayed for more than 48 hours or hours. it was due to take place on monday. it's wednesday already and it still hasn't taken place. there were rumors that it may have been postponed because of a several covered cases within the u. s. team, even including those who won the metals. but now information surface that it may be

involving russian fig escaped and skaters of particular, one skater, allegedly, according to inside the games, a media portal, it might have something to do with a failed drugs test. now this is not to be confused of course with a doping test. well, it may have been a case of a skater using drugs before the beijing olympics, and that refers to a case before the olympics kicked off. but that is purely speculation right now. of course, we have no confirmation whatsoever. we are waiting on the resolution on this matter . the i o c spokesperson already said that this issue is being resolved as quickly as possible, and soon we'll see whether that was the case. in the worst case scenario, russia will be deprived of their t medals. ah, they want in the figure skating team team competition. and they're now place will be taken by the us team. the, the silver medal will be go, will go to japan and canada. a who ended 4th will get a bronze medal, but that is of course,

the worst case scenario. still no confirmation whatsoever. whether this is even on the cause. i'm keeping very close track of the situation here in beijing, and we'll update you as soon as i get the news here in the china's capital, alexey rush, ask your t reporting from beijing claim news from wharton. maria, where us forces are accused of working with terrorist groups and destroying hundreds of homes as they fight against the country is government thought to be finish up on a political advisor to syrian president. and our son makes those claims in the exclusive interview with us. he's going underground. the truth is that the us forces are transferring some of isis direst from the prison. and they are destroying hundreds of other houses and has a gun and causing by the report a punitive,

the flee of over 50000 city and people women and children out of their houses in preparation to giving b as to the current so that they can create a good state similar got this done and it has approve them through the last 10 years. that the media war, again, my country is part of the better story that has been launched. i get in my country, it's not time sheet or need new new lateral, coercive measures taken by the u. s. and by the u. k, i gain the city i, i really know that they are really criminal again as the see them people, they're really out a form of collective punishment. again, as the food and people the russian government is moving forward, withdraw laws on the recognition of crypto currency, where the focus on protecting the rights of investors from financial crime,

it would be close to the standard currency and not as a digital assets. all transactions will be take the possible connection with illegal activities. some think that regulating the crypto currency market could bring more than $40000000.00 to the russian budget. within 5 years. we spoke to crypto currency mining director patrick young, who believes that it's a move in a right direction. it's going to be a challenge, but it's a very, very pragmatic and sensible move for russia at this juncture. to move forward by embracing crypto currency, turning it into a currency, and therefore making it acceptable alongside the rebel. because rush against march on a vast number of other countries, not just in the local area region around russia, but in fact the world. ultimately, you're going to see russia taking its strong digital background and using that in order to give us a digital ruble, which will operate alongside a pallet play of other digital currencies, crypto currencies. they've got to prove themselves that they're actually a reasonable store value or

a better way in which you can make transactions more cheaply. and that's going to be very exciting because the one thing we know is that certainly competition in free markets tends to drive innovation on a better cost, a better standard of living for the citizens of the world. many thanks for joining us. heron, arti international. don't forget, you can find plenty more stories on the updates on our website r t dot com will be back with the latest. not that, ah ah mm. i mean,
