ah ah, i'm still, i'm disappointed that we seem to have dialogue between a meat and a deaf person. no breakthroughs announced off their talks between the top to pull them out of the u. k. and russia in most guy, despite escalating tensions of ukraine. workman's threats to impose the quote, the toughest sanction the gate with russia's biggest gazing team waits for offices on doping allegations at the winter olympics. the i o. c, cause it kills speculation, while the probes ongoing, as the app needs victory, metals in the palace. also ahead. why he would put aside the pandemic, why he would try to stigmatize canadians. why did you do this to a country that is already suffering and deeply damaged by so many of his policy for

the canadian prime minister take the barrels of criticism for his stones against dante vaccine mandate demonstrates is as the protest and 230 day ah, hello and welcome this is are see international with the latest world news update is great to happy with assist our now russians. foreign minister stays most goes, concerns expressed to british cons, partley's trust that fell on deaf ears as they met in moscow to discuss rising tensions over the ukraine on the u. case threats to impose quote, the toughest sanctions against moscow. those julian, tim, still i am disappointed that we seem to have dialogue between a mute and a deaf person. they seem to be listening, but don't hare. almost detailed explanations have fallen on rough ground. they say that russia is waiting for the soil to freeze and become like

a stone so that tanks can pass safely into ukrainian territory. it seems that our british colleagues have the same sold today, from which numerous factors that we cited have bounced across the top floor as his correspondent dawn co said don, thanks for joining us. could you take us through and what happened in that media conference? sure, nicky. well unfortunately few people, if any would call thursday's meeting a productive one at the top of the agenda. we're the proposals for security guarantees that russia put forward back in mid december. the main point of contention being rushes asked that nato stop expanding eastward. this is something that washington and nato have since rejected. now, at the press conference, lab rav accuse the west of negotiate entirely. and naples centric terms. he said that they were unwilling to compromise, and that russia has been cheated for a long time. now, when it comes to its national security in relation to nato. this all comes

a while. the western media continues to stoke hysteria round some alleged plans. russian plans to invade ukraine and laughter of reiterated what moscow has been saying time and time again, that it has no plans to invade anyone. it just wants you for ukraine not to be a member state of nato. and on this point, lavern also said that he of is actually being used as a geopolitical pawn by the west to destabilize russia. read the motion to work with them. okay. mm hm. apparently, a western colleagues need president to lensky only as a tool to pull russia out of balance. none seem interested in what he thinks negative consequences from oldest hysteria are impacting ukraine's economy in the national budget of the of steel facilities. students now as for trust, she came to this meeting saying she wanted to make as much progress as possible for diplomacy, but right from the get go, she was accusing rush of apparent aggression and of actually undermining what she

called ukrainian democracy. what's most shocking though, is that she said that it was the responsibility of russia to prove that it wasn't being aggressive. talk about guilty until proven innocent minister. love ross has said to me today, not russia have no plan to invade ukraine. but we need to see those words followed up by actions, is vitally important that the u. k. and it's nato allies, are prepared for all eventually tease. and it's why we have put in place a much tougher legislation on sanctions say we are ready in the event of an incursion now, love also commented on a specific narrative of the western media as anti russia hysteria. a story that's been going around claiming that russia has concrete plans to lay siege to ukrainian

cities, set up a puppet government and even set up camps for disloyal ukrainians. just speak without superficial for to stability. there is speculation even in some respect to media about some suppose it operation that we're preparing to cease kids and all the other cities of ukraine will that some kind of crew is being prepared to install a puppet regime in the ukranian capital. all this is from the narrative of so called highly likelihood, because we should include the likely now this all comes on the backdrop of, of the, the british government, continuing to supply ukraine of ukrainian military with weapons just yesterday on wednesday, another shipment of anti tank missiles systems landed and while on the british government says these are only for defensive purposes. british officials can't exactly control what's done with these weapons. once they fall into the hands of the ukrainian military. so that, you know,

we're gonna have to see how diplomacy goes from here. but as for this meeting, it doesn't look very good. did it? doesn't out he correspondent on quota. thanks very much. well, let's now cross live 2 political analysts, journalist and author chris boundary. chris many, thanks for joining us today. i think if you could choose one word to sum up that media conference today would just be frosty. i mean, i can't remember the last time i saw such a cold media conference, but is there anything positive we can take away from these folks in moscow? data, thank no one to lose a positive. it comes unfortunately on the back of a potential breakthrough at the top. so the frances present a manual macro, where it looked at a possibility escalating the situation. and now we have this trust coming in, putting this very hard why message? incidentally, boris johnson, the british prime minister, is also visiting neutral a quarters, repeating a hard line message is then going to call and promising trips for trips will be

sent to poland classics in the british arms arriving here. this is really a situation where britain doesn't seem to be wanting to be any conceptions whatsoever, and to post the concessions affinity by both sides and the crucial elements. which burton seems to be sticking to is the idea and a very hard it is. the ukraine and other sovereign states have the right to join nato. it's need to expansion, which is making russia afraid to repeat also is a breaking a promise made by america. mikhail gorbachev, but it was at the end of the soviet union that nature would not expand your former soviet republics. russia feels surrounded. now you don't have to buy into lab robin pieces agenda. but just simply look at the map and see that with nature troops, including british troops in the baltic states. i miss our defense system, which is an aggressive system in ships in the black sea, british american,

french. then, you know, this is a situation where both sides need to district. it's not just enough to say russia needs to make some moves deescalate and situation. both sides need to wait. what did the british foreign secretary really hard to achieve with the to moscow? when did she get what she came full? i, my suspicion is a visit to moscow was basically to act as the as the messenger, the united states, to show britons on site, which are present by we have the american spring through legislation by the ministration registration for fresh sanctions on russ individuals in russia. trust is saying that the british pound will be voting on a package of sanctions, although no legislation has been here for an m p. 's to look at. and there is vice pres, suspicion, the original with draft agenda that she's promising. there will be harvesting sanctions from that, so it looks to me very much like the british government and what goes with the

forms actually upgraded to this role of backing up the americans to this hardware message. because i'm very political unless journalist and also many thanks for your time. as an anxious wait for a response from the international olympic committee regarding reports of a case of doping in this figure skating team. this daily morning briefing on thursday the i m. c called those reports, pure speculation. and so that one comments, while the probe was ongoing with a, with a teen skating sensation. kimberly valley ever failed a drug test 2 months ago. a cost of elements for his in beijing, his alexia epsky. we were expecting a statement by the international olympic committee at one p. m. local time. now we only official information or are the official comments. we've heard so far, came from the spokesperson of the i o. c. mark. adam said, thursday mornings 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 8th 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 word whatsoever. the a room must have it. and again i stress that this is room us. there's nothing official yet that the i figure skater in question is camille of oliva 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 of 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 year. 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 lever in this very difficult situation, including that from a former olympic athletes list. listen, sex, 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 o c, but the talk of the town and i spoke to both x 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 off 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. on early on, i take dr. lee chin w. villani, who the leading lawyer specializing in sports arbitration. tote is how young athletes, especially he 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, don't the allegation does harm image of it at any time. and that is the reason why

these information, also sensitive and true, never, ever has been closed. and even i seen the point of the i see which, which they made a mistake in my mind. 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 see even that was not a good point. the canadian prime minister has been grilled in parliament as the capital remains gripped by mass coated vaccine mandate, protests opposition and peace. the government's negative response to the movement of only widens the divide between the public and the state. it seems the prime minister has got a little too comfortable with using the force of government rather than trusting

canadian so 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. and more divided than ever before. can the prime minister tell canadians why he would put aside the pandemic? why he would try to stigmatize canadians. why would you do to this, to a country that is already suffering and deeply damaged by so many of his policies, canadians, loudly and clearly in the last selection. 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. canadian authority said i think nearly 80 criminal cases in connection with the demonstrations. but one tracker we spoke to his anthem and that the public's perception of the make meant is brought the 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, all it and return it the next day. its things like that that are happening throughout every day. it's just overwhelming. with some canadian politicians on the campaign, groups are also siding with the protest is calling on the government to negotiate northeast on hardy reports from 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 protests 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. now, some canadian officials have called 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 way out here with their families, and this is the most peaceful protest you that you could ever be a part of. there's barbecues, of free foods, there's free coffee. there's bounty castles. there's people with little wagons with their kids. there's, it's, it's, it's a, it's, 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 would, 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 week, i've been here since last friday and has been nothing but peaceful here. nothing loopy. but protesters we talk 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 to leave that dis, does not. they do not represent the overall protest again, which is about canada's coven. 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 a protest her describe did and squeeze them out of here. also finds, have 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, r t, a pasta. henry hildebrand, who attended the protests, told arts aide that the crank down on 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 offices wouldn't get 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 hands that were filling their trucks and taking their diesel fuel away. well, the convoy 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 the town with jerry pence stuff, the puppy or thing for the police to run after i guess they figure they each one to have one of what is happening right now with the government cracking 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. the only conclusion we came to this minority must be too large for him. all the bridges over passes were filled with people that 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 and t. bank's protests have taken hold in new zealand where people have also stood up against mandatory cobra vaccinations. the more than 50 arrests were made as officers cleared. protest says he would count towns at the parliament building in wellington. minor injury for reported an extra $150.00 offices have

been requested to control the crown. campaigners say the police action is a complete provocation and a disgrace. ah, well is more trouble in the u. k for boris johnson. as a primary school students appear to have turned on him with a barge of letters criticising his leadership as prime minister, particularly that he hosted parties during a covey look down the case education secretary, a member of johnson's conservative party, 5 back saying school children shouldn't be encouraged to take sides on political matters. while there is a clear need for schools to address political issues in the classroom from time to time, this must not be done in a partisan way. no school should be encouraging young people to pin their colors to a political mast. let's go say if the students were told to compose the letters as part of a task, teaching critical writing skills after they were informed about restaurants in so called ponti gate scandal,

which has landed the prime minister in hot water with calls even for we're going polity for him to resign, the school has emphasized that the students were encouraged to develop critical thinking skills and have nothing to do with pushing and put a particular political angle. as part of a democracy topic, the year 6 class has been looking closely at national politics. all leaders and decision makers while discussing fact and opinions, there is no teaching of politics. we explain processes and structure with the children encouraged to express their thoughts. well as close lives, the former liberal democrats, empire, and author lambert picking london to discuss this further. thank you very much for joining us on the program is good to see now, lambert was this task given to the students to politicize in your opinion, or should they be taught to examine current political issues? i want to point out to a view is that yes, 6 children that would be around the age of 11 or 12? is this debate?

this actual incident is shrouded in some mystery because because the school is saying that they didn't expressly tell the pupils to write and complaining about the prime minister. and of course you've seen the reaction, you just read it out from the government itself. i haven't got a problem with. ready encouraging students of any age to think about where they stand. i would have a problem if schools but telling them to vote one way or another and actual science . i have got a major concern that the climate change today is over the political. though the government seems quite comfortable about that, but there's a bigger issue here. we've got a prime minister who's called so little credibility and that school children seem to have strong views about what he's done. and it underlines the fact that we now have a lame duck prime minister and any amount of complaining by cabinet members take that away. what do you think the tory party is all angry about right now? a schools supposedly encouraging a part to some political styles or about the criticism that the party faces from

the british people in general. i think it's the latter, under normal circumstances, that's in today's margaret thatcher or tony black. it's undoubtedly the case that school children in class. what is debated these issues they might have even with matters, but it was acceptable in the round. the probably now half is the prime minister or it's johnston is so belittle by what looks like his own undoing, that the cabinet members are trying to defend almost in regard to any complaints. so the they will come to this to who quoted this, just making it worse by bringing attention to it. if you haven't said anything, this would go away and we would be discussing it now. but unfortunately. ready we haven't in battle bars, johnson is clearly going to have to resign. there's no doubt about that. and this is just making it west for the pm. is there any chance the bar is johnson could restore his credibility? no,

there is no fault dealing with this party gay scandal in your opinion. the reason there's no possibility of it is because the country has already decided in the course of public opinion or something is lost. and if he insists from hanging on, then the tories will get totaled rubbing in the local elections and may i said on record and on all tv for the very latest he can hang on this the fest friday and may the day after the local elections and terms of the question you asked that, how should he do a party gate you need to go bring you their party privately says not i was i was. ready a senior research member yesterday you said the public, the roof, but he is standing in the local elections and he says that if he loses its personal so no one is really on his side about from the people who are on his payroll. no sir. i think, i think he said there's no way out now. he made the mistake 2 years ago and what ever he says now i'm reminded of a phrase you can't talk yourself out of

a problem. you have just something to, he's got to come back to these students. now, do you think school children of this age around 11 or 12 should learn more about current politics? they should learn more about politics and they should be given the chance to make their own judgment about the main political streams. i mean the metabolism autonomous and back and right when economics. the problem is we already have a sized system. i mentioned climate change before and my views on that issue. fatty. well, no, no, i don't believe human beings directing the planet. but whether you believe it or not, the politicization of school children across the land is already happening. are all told that should be responsible for the damage that we're doing, which is kind of stopping by changing the climate and less stress. again, wherever you stand on this issue, it's an overtly political is not so out. the school children should be allowed to

debate, labor, conservative, green politics and beyond. and it's really disingenuous for any politician to say they don't want school children to learn about politics. how ironic is that? on that note, lambert, i pay for my liberal democrats and pay and author, thanks very much for your time. my pleasure. thank you for joining us here. and i'm with the international principle stories and updates to be found on our website all dot com. but we'll be back in 30 minutes with a a,

[000:00:00;00] a, [000:00:00;00] a what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is on, often has very dramatic development only personally and getting to disease. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully,

very difficult time. time to sit down and talk with has the 1st amendment, a just been notified by the department of homeland security by the issuing of a bulletin of heightened terrorism labeling. anyone who distrust the united states government of terrorist perente the potential punishment which might await those who dare question the actions of this administration. and does this mean those who are calling for a freedom convoy to begin here in the united states might be the 1st to be labeled terrorist by this new address policy. we're going to bring you the latest from the events on the ground in canada, with the freedom convoy as the port in the state continues to build amongst us trucker and a bill is being introduced to stop all laid to secure the border of ukraine until the border of the united states is secured itself, but will be more than just

a p. r. move to bring attention to the continued influx of
