ah ah, i'm still, i'm disappointed that we seem to have dialogue between a meet and a deaf person. the top diplomat of russia and the u. k. appeared to have found no common ground on regional security concerns. i made escalating tensions of ukraine as a med urgent talks in moscow. russia is figure skating team weights for on his on doping allegations at the winter olympics as the calls at pure speculation, while the probes ongoing as the athletes victory, metals hadn't been the balance. also ahead, why he would have sized 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

and the canadian prime minister takes up barrows of criticism. i stones against dante, maxine monday, demonstrated as the protest and to the 13th day. ah, hello and welcome. this is nancy international with the latest world news update is great to have you with us this. our rushes, foreign minister, say moscow's concerns expressed to british counterpart lives trust, fell on death is as a met in moscow to discuss rising tensions. i have ukraine and the you case threat to impose quote, the toughest sanctions against moscow. little cheryl and tim still, i am disappointed that we seem to have dialogue between a meeks 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. but it seems that our british colleagues have the same sold today from which numerous factors that we cited of bounce. let me wallace the talk to finance. we're trying to maintain pace in moscow. british prominence subarus johnson met with the head of nato in brussels, s u. k. plans to boost its military presence in eastern europe. this discuss the results of both to me. things were joined by correspondence donald quarter in moscow. actually was dusty and london. thank you both for joining us. don't. let's start with you. what do we know about the talks between the russian and british top diplomats today while nikki, unfortunately few people, if any, would call thursday's meeting or productive one at the top of the agenda, of course, where the proposals for security guarantees that moscow had put forward back in mid december, the main point of contention being that rushes, asking nato not to move any farther east towards specifically into the countries of georgia and specifically here ukraine. this is something that washington and nato

have refused to do. and after press conference lab, rob said that the west is negotiating exclusively on nato cetera centric terms, and that they're unwilling to compromise and simply that russia has been cheated for years when it comes to its national security and with relation to nato. now this also comes as the western media continues to carry out its campaign of hysteria around a legit plans for a russian invasion of ukraine. this is something that lab wrote, again, reiterated what moscow has said time and time again, that it has no plans to invade anyone, it simply doesn't want ukraine to become a member state of nato. now on that point, labrat also said that you have, has become actually a geopolitical pawn and a western game to stabilize russia. let's take a list of what he said. we do munitions up in them. them. apparently, a western colleague need president lensky only as a tool to pull russia out of balance. none seem interested in what he thinks the

negative consequences from all the hysteria are impacting ukraine's economy and the national budget. c at the studio. now as for trust, she said that her goal in moscow was to make as much progress as possible for a diplomatic solution. but right from the get go, she started accusing russia of being aggressive and of trying to undermine what she called ukrainian democracy. most shocking of all though, is that she demanded that russia prove that it's not being aggressive. talk about guilty until proven innocent minister laugh roth has said to me to day that russia have no plans to invade ukraine. we need to see those words followed up by actions, is vitally important that the u. k. in its nato allies, all prepared for all event humanities. however, i've also commented on

a specific narrative of the west's ante, russia hysteria, specific story that's been going around the media claiming that russia has some concrete plans to lay siege to ukrainian cities, set up a puppet government and even set up camps for disloyal ukrainians. use speak without superficial critique stability. there is speculation even in some respects, media about some suppose it operation that we're preparing to seize kids and all the other cities of ukraine. both will that some kind of to is being prepared to install a puppet regime. so in the ukrainian capital, all this from the narrative of so called highly likely terrific as re city credit locally. it's also important to keep in mind that for some time now the u. k has been supplying ukraine with some heavy weapons just last month, a shipment of and law anti tank missile systems. we landed in ukraine and as early as wednesday, we actually saw another shipment of anti tank missiles systems. i fall into the hands of the ukranian military. now,

while the u. k says that these are purely for defensive purposes. who knows what these weapons could be used for once they're in the hands of the ukrainian military, especially after a meeting like this one. when he thinks that don les me, by the to correspondence shot he had, was dashti in london now because while the top diplomats were busy here in moscow parish don't send it. but the u. k. prime minister met with nato secretary genuine in brussels. so one message has come out of that meeting sharia. whoa, even though british officials are wanting russia to stop the cold war rhetoric, it seems the more of was, is really happening in the west between nato and indeed, boris johnson in that joint press conference earlier today. words including the most dangerous moment, the biggest security crisis. indeed, the stakes are high and that nato must prepare for the worst. that the words in that joint conference in the h q in brussels, while there warning of fear of an eminent russian attack. the number of

russian forces is going up. the warning time for a possible attack is going down. this is probably the most dangerous moment. i would say them in the course of the next few days in what is the biggest security crisis that europe has facebook for decades. and today i agreed with the secretary general, a package of support sending troops claims and ships to defend nato from north to south. indeed, the prime minister boris johnson agreed and committed to the support package as you had the troops, planes and ships breaking that down. then $350.00 troops to poland. already there's a 100 in the country and a 1000 more troops to be made available to nato. so troops already on the move and the prime minister certainly didn't rule out sending even more if

a need when be on the eastern front. he also says 30 has offer further support in the united kingdom are ready to then provide with support. meanwhile, of the nato secretary general, he's considering the possibility of moving even into remain your putting troops in romania, particularly near the black sea and looking to increase its presence in poland. we know par johnson is now in part and talking to leaders about the situation too. but it's not just boots on the ground. this also talks of sanctions. of course, the government now says it's ready to publish a legislation on possible russian sanctions that includes new powers to talk to individuals or entities the link to the russian states. now remember, boris johnson previously said that these economic sanctions would absolutely be at the ready, the minute the 1st co cap of a russian soldier enters into the cranium. carrot tree also on the sanction the government seems to think that they can become

a law without any parliamentary approval or even any scrutiny. so it certainly feels like the tensions on the rise all the while. of course, it's important to reiterate. the russia has always denied any vision of an invasion of ukraine. so in terms of force, johnson been on the one hand, he speaks of d escalating and that the move towards diplomacy is all about talking. we know he's sending delegates to moscow tomorrow. the defense secretary will actually be in the region, but on the other hand, far as johnson in the united kingdom are committing to sending troops to the region, uneven heavy economic sanctions as well. you're very little in the form of reassuring messages coming out of either of those press conferences held today. thanks very much, jody. i was dusty and rather than don't quarter in moscow, wireless continue the conversation, of course, live to journalist on broadcast the neo clark. now, neil, is there anything positive we can take from these talks most go to day?

do you think good afternoon to keep? i didn't think so. and i think the reason why because it just reminds me so much of iraq billups with iraq in 2002, 3 when we have sort of artificially contrived crisis in the comments which has been created again by britain and america crisis back there was iraq scott w n days, which can be assembled a lot within 45 minutes. i was up to iraq to prove that they didn't just watch and i clicked that if the press conference reminded me of it, because again, it was written, saying to russia, come on, you've got to prove you're not going to invade. ukraine will rush hasn't been your grades. i have to prove they're not guaranteed by ukraine proving a negative. so, you know, it really does remind me of that scenario where we have this crisis set up, an artificial 100000 russian troops on russia soil. and that's being portrayed is

some time to sign the russia. it is about to invite you crate and will be about to invite you crate. haven't beginning of the year. nothing happened. so i think that's the basic problem. this isn't a real problem. this isn't a real crisis which could, if there was a genuine diplomatic problem here, it could be resolved, but it isn't because one side is making accusations against the other, which is completely unfounded. yeah, let's transfer the port, his foreign secretary in that press conference. she did say, you know, she's here to make as much progress as possible towards the diplomatic solution to the ukraine crisis, but obviously that wasn't achieved. so what did she come to most go to achieve and did she get what she came for? for basically, nicky, what she seems to be wanting is the russian forces to withdraw for russian soil. basically, she say, look, you could withdraw your troops up from ukrainian bordeaux close to creating border tomorrow, and that would be signed that you're not going to invade. problem with that is,

of course, is that there are russians soil, and there are legitimate fee is from russia about the security situation, the dumbass, and the real fear that if russia did withdraw its forces, then pro russia soil and move backwards if you like. that of course, we would have greater likelihood of a major effective against the russian. i think russians in dumbass, etc, which would then be seen, it would be a provocation, really. and that's what i suspect is the play here. i suspect there's a real doctor agenda here, which is to number a number of objectives really from britain, america, one of which sort of central america, particularly is to sabotage no to stream of pipeline. i think that that they had a lot of threats about that. and so the, it's a very delicate position. russia is damned if it does damage. if it doesn't. yeah. we've got nato now saying it may also send extra 2 trips, romania. i mean,

how does that cali would the blogs, clay with ongoing claims that it was dialogue and diplomacy with the kremlin? well yeah, absolutely. one minute we're saying, oh, we won't page, we want dialogue. what are we doing? we're wrapping up massively. the number of croup of equipment in eastern european countries clearly to count to russia. on the other hand, we are also making very statements. forget about having the hardest sanctions ever imposed on russia. goodness me, there's enough sanctions imposed on russia at the moment without this talk of more sanctions and going to go down the moscow. that's probably the rhetoric is it of a block or countries that radio generally won't dial up and back to relation. these are actions that are going to quite understand that they produce star response in moscow. quite understandably, to the talk, if anybody, the west or nato, was generally concerned with the escalation. they would be, say,

look, we understand russia has legitimate security. was fascinating, accusing it, but one western leader who said that was emmanuel macro president of france. i'm not a big fan of his, but on this point he was correct. he said, we have to understand russia has we get to that security concern? goodness me, the attacks he got for saying that from the hawks in britain, in america, in other countries was how did he say russia has safety concern? so that just shows you where one western leader actually does come up with something diplomatic release in terms of language he gets shouted down really and following those media conferences we heard today, i think it's very clear that they're not really taking much heat of what mcclung had to say, i thanks for joining us on our team today. no clock journalist on broadcast. we appreciate your time. thank you, nicky. well, there's an anxious wait for a response from the international olympic committee regarding the ports of a case of doping. it is figure skating. have a staley morning briefing on thursday,

the io see called those reports pure speculation and so they won't comment while the probe was ongoing. i for where the teams casing. sensation camilla valley f. a failed a drug test 2 months ago. of course development floors in beijing, his alexi, yar set 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 need 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 oliva of r o. c team. who was absolutely stella, only ice last week and winning gold with the russian figure skating team. but for the 1st time in olympic gang's 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 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. 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'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. a leading lawyer specializing in

sports arbitration told dante that young athletes in particular 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 then there's 2 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 couldn't be suspected. and i think even that was not a good point. the canadian prime minister's been grilled in parliament as the capital remains grips by mass covered vaccine mandate, protests opposition and peace. the governments extremely negative response to the movement has only widened the divide between the public and state. it seems the prime minister has got a little too comfortable with using the force of government rather than trusting canadians, 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 on entry and 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 los 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. authorities have arrested more than 20 people and opened nearly 18 criminal cases in connection with the demonstrations. but one trucker. we spoke to each adamant to the public perception that they rallies is broadly positive. from what i gather, the majority of the residents of all i was that i had 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, it's 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, 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. when long watched it folded it and returned it the next day, it's things like that that are happening throughout every day. it's just over whelmed. with some canadian politicians anne's campaign groups are also siding with the protesters, calling on the government to negotiate ortiz 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 had been parked 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 of truckers converged upon ottawa in protest of the mandatory vaccination measures canadas mandatory vaccination measures for truckers. but since then it's really more 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. now, some 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 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 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 and white supremacy, saying that while some extremist types have shown up here, they have been to leave that dis does not. and 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 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, r t. a pastor who is attended, the protests told, i see 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 office just wouldn't give any of the conway people, water,

or food, he would not hesitate to start and the criminal investigation. so that all started, 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 selling their trucks and taking their diesel fuel away. well, the convoy people that are here standing up from god given freedom, they all went to the stores and all that 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 to have one of what is happening right now with the government tracking down like they are, is so anti democracy and is 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 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 for encouraged by events in canada, anti vox protests have taken hold in new zealand, where people have also stood up against a mandatory covert inoculations. oh, well, the 50 arrests were made as officers cleared. protests dizzy were come down to the parliament building and wellington minor injuries were reported to an extra $150.00 offices of being called in to control the crowds. the campaign is run, the police respond to complete provocation, and a disgrace. many thanks for keeping his company here on our t international will be back at the top of the i with all the latest to see them. ah

ah, the democratic republic of congo is among the richest countries in the world and natural resources, but he cannot mclee it. still one of the poorest cobalt is an essential material in manufacturing batteries for modern devices like electric cars, mobile phones and computers. 60 percent of the world's cobalt reserves are in congo 20 percent of it comes from small scale mines. unicef figures confirm that in 2017 . more than $40000.00 children worked in cobalt mining in the republic to earn a living and paying for schooling. next time you use a fancy gadget like a smartphone camera or laptop, and just remember that there's

a chance it works thanks to a child hard labor children like john michelle henry at all or countless others like them. ah, better by a survival guide. they said years ago, a big pedal with oh, had no with the rest, the 7 years bill with kaiser or oh,

well come to the alec salmon. sure. we look at the political direction of a divided, you se, for some our dream. a nightmare for others saw, declared reincarnated merlin in the film excalibur. however, the sentiments could equally well encapsulate the range of opinion in a polarized america on prospects over tom couldn't come back. why haven't had his pose angel team have been in the white house for just over a year. but a year has a very long time in politics. while the newtons ratings with universally negative, the political prospects of the former president, they drummed out of office. i looking increasingly positive. so could there really be? i can't come back when we speak today, to american experts on both ends of the political spectrum. professor kenesha grant of howard university, washington and mines is present religiosity. it raises a ball watermark breakfast to your twist. i messed it in

a sponsor short last week. ringback on whether the oracle and v.
