common ground ah, or what are you doing? what are you doing with canadian police? go in, have a out anti vaccine mandate? protests and also i has prime minister trudeau tries to be little the movement. a few people shouting and weaving. swastikas does not define who canadian awesome extreme as types have shown up here. they have been asked to leave. we report from the canadian capital, where despite the government pushed back that protest her policy with also had in the program british pm virus. johnson announces a plan to end all major co with restrictions. a move critic suggest is aimed at deflecting attention from claims. he was partying during

a previous locker with 247 use live from moscow. this is your r t grid of your company today. my name is unit o'neill with canadas capital city, still in the grip of mass cobra vaccine. monday, protest authorities in alberta and saskatchewan appeared to have relented, announcing an end to there are proof of vaccination policies, but also up police. they are instead, forcefully clumping. don brutally arresting in one instance a 78 year old great grandfather. after he hung his car horn in support of demonstrators leaving him a cuts and heavy bruising. or what are you doing? what do you do? why did i not to? so i got it all on video i

you're with yes you did. i thought you were running in, ah, the canadian prime minister has accused vaccine monday protested of trying to de real the country's economy of democracy as a whole. going so far as to label them a small group shutting and waving swastikas. this is a story of a country that got good as pandemic, by being united and a few people shouting and waving. swastikas does not define who canadian, or to the government of canada, and to mr. toodle. 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 proven that you're not a leader. the canadian authorities of open nearly 80 criminal cases in connection with the demonstrations of the federal government's response. so seemingly only widen the divide between the public. from this thing, a group of tow truck companies here in iowa that are contracted with the city have refused to tow the remaining big rigs and trucks. that had been part here in canada as capital city. as part of the so called freedom convoy protest saying no or not the ones to be asked to do that. some of these companies even expressing support for the ongoing protest. now it started january 28th and 29th. when a convoy a truckers converged upon ottawa in protest of the mandatory vaccination measures a canadas mandatory vaccination measures for truckers. but since then, it's really morphed into a greater

a much larger protest having to do with canada's overall cove at 19 restrictions and even has spark debate, political debate about canada's freedom of assembly and protests and even freedom of speech. docile canadian officials have caught for the protest to be stopped immediately for police to take a more heavy handed approach, some calling this a seditious, seditious act, an act of sedition, even an insurrection and occupation. they're there. they're here peacefully. the everybody's out here with their families. and this is the most peace, peaceful protest you that you could ever be a part of. there's barbecues is free foods are free coffee. there's bounty castles . there's people with little wagons, with their kids, there's it's, it's, it's sites, it's turned into a much bigger movement of canadians, all coming to one place and uniting for a common purpose of they want the freedoms back. i am electrician and i'm an ex truck driver. and this has been a very peaceful the police have been good. you could feel the change in them. maybe friday night saturday, you could tell that they,

they've been instructed to reserve themselves. don't be so happy. don't be supportive. you could see the change in to police soon. it was a very negative change. and that's unfortunate because i've been here over a week. i've been here since last friday and has been nothing but peaceful here. nothing would be. but protesters we taught to have really bristled at the analogy of naziism in white supremacy, saying that while some extremist types have shown up here, they have been asked to leave that this does not. and they do not represent the overall protest again, which is about canada's cove at 19 measures. and overall restrictions. question is, how much longer is this continue? will discontinue police have stepped up there enforcement measures essentially trying to cut off the supply, particularly fuel and gas that being delivered by volunteers to the truckers in order to basically starve them out as one protest her describe did and squeeze them out of here. also finds had been increased, but for now the protest continues how much longer, whether this political debate and dissension last for weeks,

if not months will that remains to be seen. but the protest very much continues here in ottawa, john honey party. we're more than a dozen canadian politicians on campaign groups or calling on the government to negotiate with the protesters. they publish an open letter, which also appeals to the demonstrators, to refrain from violence or harming local businesses. pastor henry hildebrand, who's attended the protests told r t that the cracked don on the convoy is both unconstitutional and on democratic. the mayor of ottawa is determined to starve the convoy, whatever it takes, the police chief said. if anyone or any of his officers would give any of the conway people water, or food, he would not hesitate to start the criminal investigation. so that all started and it's kind of turned into a mockery here of the ottawa police because they were yanking jerry cans out of people's towns that were filling their trucks and taking their diesel fuel away.

well, the conway people that are here standing up for god given freedom, they all went to the stores and all got a jury can and walking around in town with a jerry can stuff the puppy or thing for the police to run after i guess they figure they each one and i have one of what is happening right now with the government tracking down like they are, is so anti democracy and his so anti constitutional against our bill of rights. it is so anti, what our prime minister has been running on for years said he hears every minority . and of course he call this the small fringe minority. and the only conclusion we came to is this minority must be too large for him. all the bridges over passes were filled with people. it inspires so, so many people only here nationally. but worldwide right now, worldwide, there is, there is convoys happening everywhere. indeed, they protest convoys against coven vaccine. mondays are spreading beyond canada in

new zealand trucks and vans have blocked streets in the capital, wellington, for a 2nd se surrounding the parliament building. hundreds of people turned out to support the protest that the mom's there are the same as in canada to live. maxine, unmasked, monday of similar rallies too in france. here's the southern city of niece where protesters gathered to vent their anger about boxing passes, required for, and drink restaurants and other public places. a major demonstration as well, inspired by the canadian freedom convoys expected in paris saturday. okay, let's turn our attention to more news today. british prime minister barak johnson has announced a plum to end sweeping cobit restrictions in the coming weeks, including long isolation periods for those who test positive. the precise measures of his living with cobra plan will be unveiled within a fortnight,

rti shabby edwards fusty picks up the story. well, it might seem like light at the end of the tunnel, but certainly the feeling here is we'll believe it when we see it. at the announcement today really wasn't expected at all, but it seems that the government's 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 requirement. so calculate if you test positive 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 that 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 is the data, things like ah hospitalizations, the death rate, the covert cases levels are but also new. there is, if all of that looked 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 if absolutely far too soon as yet again, their nature 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 care backlog currently stands at 6000000 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 are looking particularly good for the n h s. but boars 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 lucky point. this is bigger. we've increased the starting salary of the nurses my top on it in addition to the bathrooms and all the help that we give them we value on us is we love our new tests we're paying for it . well, just as far as johnson was hoping to move away from the party gate scandalous, 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 christmas quiz, a party that happened on the 15th of december of 2020. at the time though, you couldn't socialize, endorsement of the household and the official guidance stated, you must not have a web christmas lunch or party. so today's announcement may be another at times 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 over sections will be lifted. essentially, the idea is that close, it 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 what, or indeed a party in the midst of a tense, stunned off with russia, washington sees it, sees no need for immediate sanctions against the north string to gas pipeline, which links russia to germany, u. s. president biden. this week threatened to quote, bring an end to the project in fresh and base ukraine. here's our t southgate taylor. north stream 2 is now front and center in the ukraine crisis. because while both nato and t 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 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 asked for town as his plan for the afghanistan with torrell, 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 to 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 it's 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 by does 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 you 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 isn't susan's. and these sanctions are unprecedented and have been

coordinated and prepared with all 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 you crane securities, let's take and this and a high price, it will be, is 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 will max out any way we can't match the russian numbers. in fact, for all the threats and master 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 conserves. 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 top, especially since he knows that even if they did decide to care about ukrainian security and brave the cold by hitting the old way. you know, by would well, even been as a bit of a catch, the ocean you be much of what you going to with guess you won't developing nuclear energy. will see you going to do burn firewood, which you don't even have that it up the with side barriers to get firewood. and yes, nor 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 steel with beijing, and just the fun they decided to settle the bill in euro that she a political analysts run. a rough fuss believes that despite u. s. pressure the new nord stream pipeline is too important for berlin to drop it . 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 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 to a full certification off the pipeline project and it will not sacrifice this joined to german russian gas appli project in the ongoing ukraine conflict. and the thing the program on the mystery surrounding the 1963 assassination of us president john f. kennedy just got murkier. a leading forensic pathologists has concluded that the attack was actually a coo conducted by sodium deep state elements within the u. s. government cyril

went to analyze the case for decades, no, completely denounced as the official investigation of the force. i gave a minority report pointing out the deficiencies. the inadequacy is 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 these years to come forward and say they're, we screwed up, we messed up. we missed the most important, sorry, and most important event. and in the history of modern day america, perhaps in the history of america. li biden administration recently released documents showing links between the officially i choose killer lee harvey oswald on the soviet k g b. the 1900 sixty's investigation concluded that oswald to

a shot and killed while in police custody. 2 days after that. kennedy murder had committed the crime alone. j. f. k was fatally shots in november, 963 while on a visit to dallas, texas. the official investigation said oswald, the former us marine who temporarily lived in the soviet union, had fired from a nearby building. now the case has spark numerous conspiracy theories including government cover ups in his book, the j. f. k. assassination defected. where sees it was a to deter 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 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 is 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 care to hire another bubbling situation. the world's biggest social media network is threatening to pull out of the e. u over demands from regulators. brussels wants to stop met,

which ones facebook in scrum. what's up from transferring the personal data of european users to us based servicing. it is a risk to privacy or your correspond. peter 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 us 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 of be an essay and u. d. l is being discussed, but it's not likely 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 and mehta. 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. chris thinks of messrs say they hope the us, but he miss will follow through on it threats, but don't expect. 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 in the framework of the plan digital market sacked. we are fighting to end our 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 the 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 absolute necessary data goes to the u . s. this is doable, but obviously requires investments by facebook. things are chopping, sees that meta is sailing on last week. the company last act of daily uses for the

1st time in its history, not sent the stock price tumbling by nearly a quarter, despite the threats of a european pull out the financial implications of doing so. a highly unlikely to be popular with shareholders. feature all of our r t, berlin, and just seeing with this story, privacy activists and technology expert building. you said there's more than one scandal surrounding facebook on it in ability 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, all sure of all is for it to actually comply with the law. there been any number all scandals involving facebook and it's an inability to actually implement our privacy and security effectively. a 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 is abused or seized, you can challenge that in the course. but don't think facebook is ever actually going to cut off that service to europe. it will try and reach a compromise. are now a block us college student. this facing felony charge is on suspicion of fabricating a hate crime by sticking notes with races. language on a dorm. busy room door at southern illinois university to white students were initially blame for the racist statements, but on investigation determined, they were innocent. the black student is not being charged with filing a false police report earlier activists rally for the expulsion of the alleged 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 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. well, there have been numerous claims of hate crimes being faked. us educational institutions, such as a student who apparently egged her own dorm room and said she was being victimized because of her race. and another case, a muslim high school student said she had been targeted in a racist attack, but later admitted she lied. we spoke with the editor of the college fix and new sites on us higher education. he believes some students want the benefits from faking such instance university. there is a black female student who said that someone last racist notes on her door.

she didn't send into other people. she sent it to herself. in terms of the motivations, i'm not really sure a lot of times when the college fixes are the stories. there's the, you know, the accusation, which usually turns out to be false and then there is a protest and there is 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, there is a allegation of attack on someone based off their race or 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 active, it will, it will explain that to, to try to get can sessions from their school. well,

thank you for giving us some of your time today, and that is how our global news update looks like for more gray program. start right after the shorts, the brakes stay with us. ah, [000:00:00;00] with wild tensions remain high over ukraine. one thing has abundantly been made clear, russia and nato have fundamentally different ideas about pan yorkie and security. and neither side appears to be in the mood to compromise. is this why the propaganda war is reaching new heights?

with african resent senior watching going on the ground coming up with the show after you k u. s. armed aerial bombardment of britain's s a s in syria and how many women and children were killed by jo biden's forces. last week we speak to dr. bettina siobhan, a top advised that a serious president, bashar assad, after syria renews ties across the arab world, and signs on to china's belton road band. can we trust scotland yard? currently investigating a battle u. k. p. morris johnson, to be fair. we ask someone who is at one point london's most senior asian women, the officer who is suing the metropolitan police, after inquiries of called it institutionally racist,

and institutionally corrupt all this more coming up. and today's going underground at 1st, after 11 years of war, syria has been the chessboard for geopolitical and neighboring rivalries. however, there are signs of the war in syria could be reaching its end game with increased diplomatic engagement between arab states and the assad government alongside china . offering relief from us sanctions. alternatively, as the clock turned back on syria given last week's u. s. mass killing in the country and 8 resurgence of isis. joining me now from damascus to discuss the way ahead for the syrian government is doctor, we finish urban political adviser to president bashar last at thank you so much. deborah, thank you for coming back on, you know, every other week or so you k u. s. e, you nation armed war planes, a bombing your country. i better off just quickly because there's no reporting of it in our mainstream news in nato nations on television, our effective with the air defense systems against the israeli attacks,
