was because rushes, his troubles always returned to bases to most utter any military exercises. actually, i read in one of the canadian gray media outlets that of the matter of ukraine. there was this canadian reporter said that they said that ukraine, i believe, is a crutch referred to you so that the west, he wasn't politicians hughes used to retain. so you are also there standing belgium . so to speaker boost that was their ratings business. and so i think when we, when it comes to the security issues of any country, whether it's natal ukraine, oh boy, of an e u or russia. and i sincerely hope that we can all act as adults and not engage in propaganda to, to try and achieve some electoral electoral outcomes. that was what else to tell. and now for the final question, i channel one russian. literally, i have a question to mistrust you. recently, i talked earnestly as i've spoken,

while in australia, knowledge that suddenly ukraine will of the barbara has been invaded to even by the mongols and the tartarus her. and many other nations, but oh it was there any of the other were our nation that became stronger as a result of the invasion of mon goals and taught hours it may be, there was any other nation you'd like to mention. the point i was making is that if the word to be an incursion into ukraine, then that would not be a rapid rapid resolution. what we would see is a prolonged conflict, which i think would be very damaging for obviously the people of ukraine, but also the people of russia and for european security. so it all costs. we must

make sure that we avoid that whilst, but obviously maintaining the fact that ukraine is a sovereign country that makes it same decisions about whether it joins nathan or not. and that also maintains its territorial integrity for super. thank you. for those of you just joining as this is our t international with me nicky airing. we've just been listening life to the press conference between at liz trust the u. k. foreign secretary and the russian foreign minister said a lot of rob trust is here in moscow. to day for talks with sec, a laugh rav aimed at com intentions, a, the ukraine. she said, she's here to make as much progress as possible towards a diplomatic solution to the situation. ukraine, however, as you to sort the press conference, just their relation, steam as a frosty,

as ever, if not more. so it seems as though very little has been agreed on at this sat meeting here today, but we can cross left to our correspondent to find out more details. now. don't cortez, thanks very much for joining us. could you just like wrap up the main points that we heard in that media conference is now either nicky, well as you said and as could be seen by the press conference itself for it looks like this meeting was not very productive for the advancement of diplomacy between the 2 countries, sir, we can to give you the main points. i mean, both love, rob entrusts, spoke about a number of issues at the top of the agenda. of course, we're on russia's proposals for security guarantees that they gave to the west back in mid december that were rejected by washington and nato. and this lover of reiterated this a lot that these security guarantees are pivotal to you know, reaching an agreement with the west. he reiterated what moscow has been saying for

months now, amid media hysteria about a legit plans for a russian invasion of ukraine. he again reiterated, there are no russian plans to invade the country. and you said that actually the west, of course, has satellites in space that can see for themselves what the russian military there is doing. they can see that they're not preparing for any sort of invasion and actually live, rob accused the west of new shooting in an entire, in an entirely nato centric way. basically not giving it russia any sort of breathing room geopolitical fortunes when it comes to nato. he said that the dialogue was one sided and that russia has been cheated time and time again over the years when it comes to nato expansion. one thing that he has been saying a lot in the past and russian officials have been pointing to, is that russia was promised by nato back in 1990. the soviet union rather, was promised by nato that the military alliance would not expand any farther east than the odor river in europe. so this is

a point that lab reiterated during these talks and he also, unfortunately, like you know, like we saw these, this meeting seems not very productive. and lab rob also said that he felt that, you know, their words were falling on deaf ears. those are all in the i'm still i'm disappointed that we seem to have dialogue between a mute and a death person. they seem to be listening, but don't hair. almost detailed explanations have fallen on rough ground. they say that russia is waiting for the soil to freeze and become like a stone, said that tanks can pass safely into ukrainian territory. it seems that our british colleagues have the same soul to day, from which numerous facts that we cited of bouncing. now of course, trust came to the meeting saying that she wanted to make as much progress as possible for diplomacy with the between her country and russia. she was saying that she wants russia to work towards diplomacy as well. but most of what she was saying

was basically accusing russia of being aggressive over and over. she accused moscow of trying to overthrow what she described as ukrainian democracy. and she was still saying that that there was an impending threat of a russian invasion of ukraine saying that ukraine will fight back. and she also claimed that, for example, you came able deployment in the black sea is not a hostile action. actually, it's because she's saying that russia has been aggressive against ukraine and that this is purely defensive. the u. k. government has for a while also been saying that there are weapons deploying their supply of weapons to the ukrainian military has also been defensive. of course, we know that these weapons have been given to the ukrainian military and many, many people. there are, we don't know what's going to happen with these weapons once they're in the hands of, of another state. but probably the most interesting part of what truss said. and perhaps

you could say shocking is that she claimed that she has prudent vladimir putin, russian president vladimir putin, basically to prove a negative. she said that, you know, it's important for russia to prove that it's not being aggressive or surrounding the conflict in ukraine when it's actually the west that's accusing russia of having plans to invade ukraine. so this is basically guilt considering russia guilty until proven innocent. this is something that live ra pointed out as well, saying that the burden of proof, of russian aggression or some sort of russian plans to invade ukraine, of course, falls on the person making the assertion, the party making the assertion. and that is the west and nato thought many things that he's correspondent, don quarter, that ah, well, there's noxious wait for a response from the international olympic committee regarding reports of a case of doping and in figure skating team. and it's daily morning briefing on thursday, the i of the cold on those reports called those reports pure speculation,

so they won't comment. want to probe was ongoing either whether taking skating sensation camilla valley f. a fail to drugs has 2 months ago. of course developments for with in beijing his alexi, ours have sky. we were expecting a state when by the international olympic committee at 1 pm local time. now we only official information or are the official comments we've had so far came from the spokesperson of the i o. c. mark. adam said thursday morning's press briefing, where he explicitly said that this was a legal case. and even addressing a direct question about whether this was a doping case or doping allegation, he said that for now everything doping related remains purely aisd speculation. and that is as far as mr. adams went with his comments said that we need to wait. we needed to wait until the official statement by o, by the i o c. and that will be a separate statement again, which we have been already waiting for several hours. still no ward whatsoever. the

room was have it. and again, i stress that this room was, there's nothing official yet that the i figure skater in question is camille of eiletha of r o c team. who was absolutely stella, only ice last weekend, winning gold with the russian figure skating team. but for the 1st time in olympic gangs history, the metal ceremony has now been postponed for almost 4 days now. and this is of course, causing a lot of speculation. a lot of for reporting false reporting as well fake news. last night several media outlets jumped the gun with some absolutely ludicrous statements. so obviously this is creating a very unhealthy situation here. but again, if we come back to the official statements and there are very few of those so far, we also heard from the spokesperson off the russian figure skating union, who told us that camille of oliva was not suspended from the participation at these olympic games in bay jing she will continue, but dissipating here. moreover,

by eva herself, a 15 year old skate. i took to the ice this morning in a training session, which is already a good sign that she is allowed to participate. so this might not be a doping case. after all, but what it is, eventually we are yet to find out. meanwhile, we've already been receiving words of support for camila oliver in this very difficult situation, including that from a former olympic athletes. let's listen. such talent appears once in a lifetime. camila believe as program at the european championships made me want to short program to be a little longer. what a wonderful skater if her performance didn't inspire the whole world to take up figure skating? i don't know. what would it is a case of some complexity definitely, 1st and foremost, because the medal ceremony is now being delayed for an unprecedented amount of time . secondly, because we are still waiting for lee now statement for several hours now. it still

hasn't been produced by now the, i'll see, but the talk of the town and i spoke to both ex figure skaters, and journalists and experts available at the venue that this may be already delivering a very serious stole psychologically on the russian ice figure. skating team and the whole r o c olympic team in general. for instance i, i can only assume this is related, but during the male figure skating performance this morning, all 3 of our o c's status fell during that performance. is it so something you see every day when all members of the team managed to, you know, mess off their performances? so it might be the case of the team already going through a very serious psychological situation here. but of course, we are anxiously waiting for any statement from the i o. c. this situation is expected to be result during this day. and of course i'll be keeping you updated with all the news in beijing as soon as i get it. malaria are not a dr. lu chen,

w maloney, he's a leading lawyer specializing in sports arbitration told you how young asking, especially need to be protected from unproven allegations. it's not good that the name is mentioned, and i think we should protect miners, especially when we search strong allegations. that is, the reason why i think it's very premature to, to say she has knocked off, as you know, any, not nearly asian does harm in reach of and yet it at any time. and that is to reasons why these information also sensitive and should never, ever have been closed. and even i seen the point of the i see which, which they made a mistake in my, in my curious to suspend the ceremony, which clearly made to the public and clear that this was

something strange and that is not good. so everybody could could find out who could be suspected and i shouldn't even that was not a good point. the canadian prime minister's being grilled in parliament as the capital remains gripped by mass cove. it vaccine mandate protests opposition and peace that a government negative response to the movement is only widens the divide between the public and the states. it seems the prime minister has got a little too comfortable with using the force of government rather than trusting canadians to speaker, and what day this month will all travel advisories be lifted, the support of the conservative party of canada for people barricading our streets and our border crossings is harming businesses is harming canadians were putting food on the table on entering more divided than ever before. can the prime minister tell canadians why he would politicize the pandemic?

why he would try to stigmatize canadians? why? what do you do to this, to a country that is already suffering and deeply damaged by so many of his policy canadians loudly and clearly in the last election. that science and vaccination was the way through. they gave us in this house a mandate to move forward on that and we did for almost 2 years. now, canadians have borne the yoke of loss uncertainty and lack of hope. the backs of canadians are about to break. canadians are miserable because of the prime minister . we want to know on what date the mandates will end. here are canadian authorities have, i think nearly 80 criminal cases in connection with the demonstrations but one trucker . we spoke to his argument that the public's perception, if than the flint is broadly positive from what i gather, the majority of the residents of all i know that i have spoken to personally are

overwhelmingly in support of us being here. many, many auto residents have walked up and down the street pass my truck. many have stopped to talk to me and like 99 percent is not hire of them all. thank us for being here. they support us. they ask if we need anything. we are well fed, we have lots of fuel, a nice lady that lives just down the road, came to me a few days ago, asked if i needed anything. and i said, well, i could do some laundry being done. so she took all my laundry, went home washed, it pulled it and return it the next day. its things like that are happening throughout every day. it's just overwhelming. with some canadian politicians on campaign groups are also siding with the protesters, calling on the government to negotiate. john hardy reports from altura, 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 have been parked here in canada's capital city. as part of the so called freedom convoy protest saying no, are 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 canadas 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. now. so canadian officials have called for the protest to be stopped immediately for police to take more heavy handed approach, some calling this a seditious, seditious act, an act of sedition, even an insurrection and occupation there, there are there, here,

peacefully. the everybody's that we 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'm 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 and white supremacy. saying that while some extremist types have shown up here, they have been 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 hoodie, artie passed a henry handle grantees attended the protest. so dorothy that the clank down the convoys both unconstitutional and undemocratic. the mayor of ottawa is determined to start the convoy, whatever it takes, the police chief said, if anyone or any of his office just wouldn't get any of the conway people, water, or food,

he would not hesitate to start and 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 hands 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 look around after i guess they figure they each one to 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 to say he hears every minority. and of course he call this the small fringe minority. and the only conclusion we came to 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. encouraged by events in canada, anti vax protests have taken hold in new zealand where people have also stood up against mandatory cove. it vaccinations the more than 50 arrests were made to go. this is clear, protest busy with camp towns in the parliament building. and wellington, when the injuries were reported on the next to $150.00 offices will be requested to control the crowd campaign and say the police action is a complete publication. and this the executive director, greenpeace has been appointed as germany's international climate invoice. the move has angered some politicians that who said, environmental activist is completely out of place in the country's foreign office,

but as close live to corresponded pizza only by in berlin. now pizza, always get to see you will. can you tell us about the latest appointment and what we action the thing. jennifer morgan, she's the heads of greenpeace international and she's moving into a new role in the german foreign ministry. she'll be germany's climate secretary of state. she is an american citizen, jennifer morgan. she has lived in berlin for a while, and we understand that she's either currently applying or about to apply for german citizenship. what she will be doing is being charged with shaping germany's climate policy in the, the realm of foreign policy as well as all of that know she's being put into this role by german foreign minister annually. and the bulk of the german foreign ministers. very pleased to have her woman is kenneth made lives. i don't know of anyone else in the world who has so much expertise, network and credibility and international climate policy. and the fact that we can

now count jennifer morgan in our team is to me, dream appointment. and an important signal, international climate protection, etc. so i want to bring my many years of experience in the climate movement and also in think tanks into politics in order to support and advance the goals of germany and in the e. u. and worldwide and from experience, i know that politics will need all social groups to drive forward this necessary transformation. though there's been a lots of criticism of the move some suggesting annually in a bare bach was putting this position forward as a dig it her party leader vice for air chairman, vice chancellor of germany and the minister for economic affairs on climate roberts . how back and the fact that he is in charge as he says of climate affairs. however, this also fits in with what was a green party policy to have climates involved in everything. it does fit of course, that therefore they would have to have climate at the hearts of foreign policy as well. the move come in for

a lot of criticism from opposition. politicians who say that there's no place for a lobbyist to be put into such a key role at the hearts of a government ministry. it is remarkable that especially a green federal minister, skipped so easily over the boundaries between statehood and lobby. as them a greenpeace activist who obviously has little connection to germany is simply out of place in the foreign office. well, the complaints are a little disingenuous. when you look at german politics is long history, with lobbyists on the auto industry, particularly there's a long, long history of people, either going from politics to lobby for the auto industry or going from lobbying for the auto industry to politics. if you just cast your minds back a few foreign secretary, the few foreign minister that go in germany to zig montgomery l wasn't so long

before he was foreign ministry, that he was environment minister, not so long before that he was on the supervisory board of german cod giant v w. so those claims that there hasn't been cross over between lobbyists and politics before and they don't really stuck up. and i, so come to germany appears to be facing trouble and energy sec. so what can you tell us about that? busy times at that ministry that i spoke about, the ministry of economic affairs and climate action. we've heard from one of the spokespeople the saying that there are worrying levels. that's a direct quote from the spokeswoman worrying levels of gas in germany's reserves. the talking about 35 to 36 percent jeremy current gas reserve level standing out. now until now, the message from german chancellor or la sholtes had been that germany gas supplies coming from russia,

which is where the bus majority of where russia's gas applies. come from, we're assuming 55 percent of all of germany's gas comes from russia. that has risen by 15 percent since 2012. now. germany has a long term gas deal with russia and gas problem. the russian gas giant has continued to fulfill the contract that it has with germany. however, the thing is, germany's using more gas than it has with that contract. so he's trying to buy that on the market at the moment in the market. is that the price on that market is incredibly high and there is incredible demand for the gus that's on the market at the moment. there's also great uncertainty at the moment with the tensions between the west and russia, and over the future of nord stream to the gas pipeline that's completed between russia. the construction is completed. any way between russia and germany running under the baltic sea. it has the potential to be able to transport 55000000000

cubic meters of gas, directly into germany. that would be enough to power $26000000.00 european homes every single good. it isn't online at the moment. we are expecting the certification process to go through, at least until the 2nd half of this year, but it is sneered up right at the center of all of the tension surrounding ukraine, russia, nato, and everything going on there with us. president joe biden saying if there was any increase in the current on rest, that he, they would stop nord stream to and as a lot of pressure being placed on germany to say that they would also take nord stream to off the table. the thing is, germany clearly needs not gas, and that's exactly what we're hearing from the economics ministry, the ministry for environmental affairs as well on wednesday, saying that there are worrying levels of gas reserves in germany. of course, the pipeline would fill that gap and date such as far reaching repercussions of the

crisis, and you try and right now for now to speak to oliver. thanks very much and thank you for joining us here on our tea. international will be back at the top of the hour with all the latest joiners, then you can ah with bring you the very latest every out the day. this is our national fun. everyone here with
