2:00 pm
ah ah, what are you doing? what do you do? at least i could, i didn't please go in heavy at the anti back, said monday protests in auto or is prime minister. true dope tries to be little with demonstrators. few people shouting and weaving. swastikas does not define who canadians there were thousands of people coming down here, showing support. there was why, you know, there is music at the local truck or the minute i'm reporting from a canadian capital way, despite the government pushed back the protest, the passing of peacefully at the moment. and on the other side of the atlantic, british pierre boris johnson. and i'm says, a plan to end all major coverage restrictions and critics a is to deflect,
2:01 pm
attached the way the scandalous claims, whose party in general, free with by their life from moscow out international world news age q. welcome to our updated ted with me, kevin. know it is breaking news tele breakfast will forget to the so for talking about tonight, schools are being evacuated seems around the washington d. c. area today over multiple bomb threats. very sketch information through at the moment, but as the headline police about it, it numerous facilities around the districts, including public schools and the district of columbia are involved. authorities are at the scene, various scenes with a sense of it and say they're investigating instances we any more detail them. i will of course, let you know during the search next 30 minute bulletin. i mean, time up north, where the canadian capital still the grip of mass. kobe vaccine mandate protests the provinces of alberta and saskatchewan, appear to have relented tonight, announcing an end to their proof of vaccination policies. but also, however,
2:02 pm
that police are clamping down. instead, it says brutally arresting at one point even a $78.00 row grey grandfather. after he honked his horn and supported the demonstrators, the left with cuts and heavy bruising. or what are you doing? what do you do when you i day, oh, that's a so i've got it all on video i i mean, yes you did. i thought you were running in. ah well, the canadian prime ministers, sir, accused vaccine mandate protest as a trying to derail the country's economy. democracy going so far as to label them as a small group shouting and waving swastikas. this is a story of a country, the cartoonist pandemic, by being united and
2:03 pm
a few people shouting and waving swastikas does not define who canadian or to the government of canada. and to mr. judo, 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. is sort of o finale, 80 criminal cases in connection with the demonstrations protested, say the federal government's response to the movements only out of the field of 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 the prime minister and get up and call these people racist. like i said, i'm a truck mechanic by trade. i've been working with these guys for 20 years,
2:04 pm
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 of our loans. and they didn't lower taxes respectively. so people are losing their homes, they're losing their business. they have no income, and they're being stored to get the bad scene in order to just stay employed so they don't lose their houses. the math 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 was music there were bouncy, castle, their families brain children. well that's really calm down. it's so much wider atmosphere, not necessarily here, but i know other parts of the city is really roger up there and horsemen measures. they issued more vehicles. they're basically trying to cut off the fuel supplies to
2:05 pm
the truckers and also find had 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 the government official. but this is an insurrection, mostly from what we saw and plug in approach answers 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 sure your residence filed that class to actually watch the jug grant in 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, can lady officials want this to stop? now the question is, how much longer will this go on and will it really be
2:06 pm
a battle of political will if you will, that doesn't canadian politicians and campaign groups now than a calling on the government to negotiate with the protest is we start reporting on this yesterday they published an open letter, which also appeals to the demonstrators, to refrain from violence or harming local businesses. one of the secretaries leading lawyer a spoke to told me she believes there's no legal basis for detaining people protested or paper providing them with supplies. i can't speak for ministers intentions but there haven'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. it's middle to 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,
2:07 pm
if there's a charge of mischief, mischief relates to criminal intent and the protesters are not engaging, incremental activity. they're engaging and people 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 and we hold up in court the convoy protests against cobra. the vaccine mandates of spreading beyond canada in new zealand trucks and vans block streets in the capital. wellington, for the 2nd day surrounding the parliament building the hundreds of people turn that to support the process. the demands the same as those and candidates lift vaccine and mass mandates. similar kind of thing from 2 rallies there with protest is gathering a nice bed. their anger about vaccine passage required for entering restaurants and other public places. and a major demonstration inspired by the canadian freedom come voice express in paris . just coming we can know saturday as well. we'll keep an eye on it. right now.
2:08 pm
keep an eye and what's happening over the english channel. there don't call it and just kind of course it for embarrass anyway in britain, british prime minister par johnson as an out of supply and to end sweeping co restrictions in the coming weeks, including along isolation period. so for those test positive, the precise measures are expected to be announced by the end of this month. thought he shuddered was dashed. he's got the latest on it tonight. well, it might seem like light at the end of the tunnel, but certainly the feeling here as will believe it when we see it at the announcement today really wasn't expected at all. but it seems that the governance trying to show to the public that we're on the other side of the pandemic. i'm beginning to live with the virus. so at the end of the month, what we'll see is all restrictions to be acts, including isolating for positive cases of cov, it provided the current encouraging trends in the day to continue. it is my expectation that we will be able to end the last domestic restrictions, including the legal requirements. so calculate if you test positive
2:09 pm
a full month. oh, that announcement was then greeted by rolls across the chamber, many people in the tory party. i'm the labor party actually quite keen to see these restrictions being acts on. it has certainly been welcomed amongst the public as well, but it will all depend on the data. of course, for us, johnson said, if we see this encouraging day to this trend continue, that's the data. things like ah hospitalizations, the death rate, the covert cases levels. but also new, there is if all of that looks promising, then we'll go ahead with the lifting of the restrictions was going to be at the end of march has been pushed forward to the end of this month. but some people say it's absolutely far too soon. as yet again, the and h as is on its knees, people on the front line of really struggling to cope with the pressure just to give you an idea, some statistics the n h has backlog. the cab backlog currently stands at 6000000
2:10 pm
people. patients are waiting for operations some cases of people waiting up to 12. 8 hours in emergency rooms across the united kingdom. so things aren't looking particularly good for the n h. as boris johnson, he says he's hoping to hire more nurses to deal with this crisis. we have 6000000 people already on the waiting list. i'm afraid gotten that will go up and we need be recruiting the stock now. that's why we're recruiting 50000 bonuses or 11000 more this year than that. we're allowed to point. this is bigger. we've increased the starting salary for nurses my top on it in addition to the bus routes and all the help that we give them. we value our nurses. we love our new choice and we're paying for a while just as far as johnson was hoping to move away from the party gate scandal that's engulfed westminster. well, it's resurfaced yet again today, a picture of 1st johnson himself emerged, or with an open bottle of bubbly, a half eaten packet of crests, and some of his members of staff with tensile all around them. that was at the
2:11 pm
christmas quiz, a party that happened on the 15th of december of 2020. now this one we've heard about before, but the metropolitan police says it's not going to investigate it. at the time though, you couldn't socialize, endorsed that, are the household, and the official guidance stated, you must not have a work, christmas lunch or party. so today's announcement may be another attempt to try to flex from what's going on in westminster with the party gate scandal. but the united kingdom is one of the 1st nations to announce that all restrictions will be lifted. essentially, the idea is that clover will be treated somewhat like the flu is treated now and where it's up to the individual to make a judgment, a responsible one. whether or not they should go into work or indeed a party. now the middle of a ted stand off with russia, the us set tonight says it sees no need for immediate sanctions against nordstrom to gas pipeline, which caused league, so russia to germany, u. s. president. by murley,
2:12 pm
a threat the shut down the project. if russia were over to evade ukraine, suskin taylor's scott the latest, not string to as now front and center in the ukraine crisis. because while both nato until now agree. but the imminent rush invasion they've been waiting for for months is unlikely to happen. the u. s. president disagrees and has decided to take the pipeline out for a final politicized right. 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 product and control of the product is worth in germany's control, we will, i promise you will be able to do for europe fake 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 as thought out as his plan for the afghan est with toral but white doesn't bite and
2:13 pm
want berlin is cooking dinner over russian gas. well, some accused president putin, unlike bite, of course of using gas as a political weapon would have 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 occasion of the project is on hold . and moscow for its part thinks that brussels has failed to do the mass that the surely for this is also senseless. for those who don't let the system work, because additional gas supply to the european market 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
2:14 pm
being on washington's marcy, but that's not the only concern. another big issue. crane won't get a cut. now at the moment, key 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 isn't susan's, and these sanctions are unprecedented and have been coordinated and prepared with old partners. i would like to add that due to the close economic interdependence of all the partners involved, especially my country. yes, we are prepared to pay a high economy price when ukraine securities, let's take kind of and this and 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 promises to find its allies alternative energy sources so far, nothing capital said no, can't do, don't have the resources. u. s. companies that were maxed out and anyway,
2:15 pm
we can't match the russian numbers. in fact, for all the threats and lost a pounds of biden, that's a real consensus. no rush and 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 john chancellor has been less keen on publicly promising to turn off the top, especially since he knows that even if they did decide to care about ukrainians, security and brave the cold by hitting the old way you know by would. well, even then as a bit of a catch, the ocean you be much of what you're going to have. guess you won't developing nuclear energy. what are you going to do? burn firewood, which you don't even have that it up there with siberia to get firewood. and yes, nor string to dead in the water wouldn't be great for russia either. but then again,
2:16 pm
moscow didn't just sign a 30 year gas steel with beijing. and just the fun they decided to settle the bill in euro german geopolitical. alice rayner also spoke to us about it. he believes, despite the u. s. pression. old stream to is simply too important for berlin to drop. germany understands that it is too dependent on the north stream to project. we need the gas supplies for our domestic market in under circumstances when the gas prices are storing. 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 to a full certification off the pipeline project and will not sacrifice this joined to
2:17 pm
german russian gas supply project in the ongoing ukraine conflict. now this is an interesting one. the mystery surrounding 963 assassination of us president john of kennedy's just got merc here as forensic pathologist, serial work. he spoke to me, concluded that the attack was actually who conducted by deep state elements within the u. s. government. where because analyzed the case now for decades and completely denounces the official investigation as a fast i gave a minority report pointing out the deficiencies, the inadequacies, the absurdities of the warren commission report. and then not done anything about it because is too hard of a problem for the government to deal with. and especially now after all of these years to come forward and say that we screwed up, we messed up. we missed the most important story. and most important event in the
2:18 pm
history of modern day america, perhaps in the history of america. the divided ministration recently released documents showing links between the officially accused killer lee harvey oswald and the soviet k. j. b. the 960 s investigation concluded that oswald, who was killed in prison 2 days off the kennedy murder, had committed the crime alone. j. k was fatally shelton, november 19. $63.00 will on a visit to dallas, texas, with the official investigation saying, oswald, a former us marine of 10. we lived in the soviet union, had fired from a nearby building the case a spoke numerous conspiracy theories including government cover ups. what it is, book now the j f. k. assassination dissected what says it was a qu, they tough. the cia and other military people were very unhappy with kennedy and extremely concerned about where he was leaning america. in fact, number one was the warming up
2:19 pm
a little bit of the relationship with russia and getting rid of a very bitter hostile cold war. you can be sure that the officials in moscow, beijing and havana were contacted directly by our ambassadors and my direct phone calls to make sure that they had not been involved. and once i was asked or change, and that was quite quickly, you can be sure. and then it came to realize very, very fast that this was a domestic price. this was the assassination of president, not by foreign powers, but by people here in america. and it was then the overthrow, the government. it was cool to talk in america and they were not going to be able to handle that then. and they don't want to try to deal with that. now. the world's biggest social media networks certainly to pull out of the you over
2:20 pm
demands regulators. brussels wants to stop matter, which shows facebook instagram and walks up, of course, from transferring the personal day through, you repeat and uses to us base service, saying as a risk to privacy. he's our europe correspondent. social media was supposed to bring us all closer together on line, but now the biggest fish and the internet pond mete, the parent company behind facebook, and instagram seems to be giving away lessons in the 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
2:21 pm
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 would be an essay, a new deal is being discussed, but it's not likely in the 1st half of 2020 to only an arrangement that is fully compliant with the requirements said by the court can deliver the stability and legal certainty, stakeholders expect on both sides of the atlantic. there's just on the 310000000 facebook years is in europe and mehta. it's threatening to cook them off unless a new deal can be stroke specifically and you're deal. they 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,
2:22 pm
say they hope the us but he missed, will follow through on it. threats, but don't expect the look of the 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 classes from europe would be welcome because it would finally get better competitors, a real chance and the framework of the plan digital market fact we are fighting to endo dependence on corporations like matter by means of interoperability in order to give users a real choice. lawyers who have worked to expose the data breaches a facebook saying that they're always 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 absolute necessary day to go to the u . s. this is doable, but obviously requires investments by facebook. these are choppy,
2:23 pm
see the method is sailing on last week. the company last act of daily uses for the 1st time in a history not send the stock price tumbling by nearly a quarter, despite the threats of a european pull out the financial implications of doing so highly unlikely to be popular with shareholders. control of a r c for lead activists and technology that bill util. this, there are a number of scandals surrounding facebook and it's an ability to provide data security met. so could quite easily set up a, an infrastructure in parallel in europe and, and process the data there. there are a number of different options it could take the most obvious, all plan of all is for it to actually comply with the law. there been any number of scandals involving facebook and it's an. 7 inability to actually implement our privacy and security effectively. it doesn't seem to learn extra territorial laws
2:24 pm
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 good. but don't think facebook is ever actually gonna cut off that service to europe, or it will try and reach a compromise. ah, glad you as color students face him, felony charge is on suspicion of fabricating a hate crime by sticking notes with races. language on the dorm room door at southern illinois university to white students were initially blamed for the racist statements. bert's an investigation determined they were innocent. now the black students being charged with filing a false police report earlier black out the vis, rallied for the expulsion of village perpetrators. when they thought white teams were to blame, they say it's under investigation, but i feel like she shouldn't be on campus period because he threatened to lynch
2:25 pm
students on this campus. eventually, you'll see the black population or the black students stop coming to southern illinois university. it were closely dwindled down until were not there. they have been numerous claims of hate crimes being faked at u. s. educational institutions, such as a student who apparently egged her own dorm room door and said she was being victimized because of a race. and in another case, a muslim high school student saying she'd been targeted in a racist attack, but then later admitted she was lying. we spoke with the editor of the college fixer new sites on u. s. higher education. who told her students want the benefits in some cases of faking these kind of incidence university, there is a black female student who said that someone last racist notes on her door. she didn't send it to other people. she sent it to herself. in terms of the motivations, i'm not really sure a lot of times when the college fix is current,
2:26 pm
the stories there's the, you know, the accusation which usually turns out to be false. and then there is a pro tab and there's demands for different things from the university. you might be more funding and might be expanding or african american studies program. it might be their own center student union on campus. we often tell you when there's a allegation of attack on someone based off their race or. busy sometimes religion which we've also covered or their their, their sexual. busy dad, you know, there will be a list of a petition, right? a list of demand made to the university. so i, and i certainly do think student actor will. i will explain that to, to try to get can sessions from their school for a leave who starts with ray can use this quote, alarming. i was hoping to bring you some on it seems we haven't been able to find any more than our stuff. but this is what we do know. schools have been evacuated
2:27 pm
in the washington d. c. area we think because of multiple bomb threats tonight, today, the, the metropolitan police department added that numerous facilities are being targeted, including at least they think 6 schools authorities are out the same. they're investigating the incidence as a say no more through at the moment in the last 5, but it, as we get more, i'll be back in half an hour to tell you about it and check it out. see dot com as well for and then for developing breaking stories, but that's what we're talking about. let's news a 10 from oscar with me. kevin, thanks for checking in with the team for good evening. you ah ah, ah, ah, ah, so many different certain types, such as this sounds broad, not quite to make those organs in

2:29 pm
the only interest of the fishery. moby on the face of the only ones in danger. the fisherman also at risk of losing or for bugging my thought ups of them before they get it on the bottom of the bubble, thought, i guess it might be real. she's been the liberty of abusive block on screen with a ah, i'm african resent senior watching going on the ground coming up with the show
