i want to go with gm store, i'm disappointed that we seem to have dialogue between a meet and a deaf person. talk russian and the british diplomats appear to have found no common ground on regional security concerns. i made escalating tension w crying as they met her folks in moscow, mainstream media going into overdrive in their reporting on alleged doping by a 15 year old russian figure skater. the international olympic committee warning. it's a pure speculation. why know the size, the pandemic? why you would try to stigmatize canadians. why did you do this to a country that is already suffering and deeply damaged by so many it is a canadian prominence that takes

a bunch of criticism for his aggressive stones against anti vaccine mound demonstrators as their project and who's a 13 thanks a lot from oscar, thanks for joining us tonight on our team international. daniel hawkins, whether you are this our welcome to the program. the russian foreign minister has says, i said moscow's concerns express the british count about list trust, fellow beth is as they met in moscow, discuss rising tensions over your frame and the u. k. threat to impose the toughest sanctions against moscow or he's total court has the story. those julian, tim still, i am disappointed that we seem to have dialogues between a mute and a deaf person. they seem to be listening, but don't hes, 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 sol today, from which numerous factors that we cited have bounced few people if any would call thursday's meeting, a productive one at the top of the agenda. of course, we're the proposals for security guarantees that moscow had put forward back in mid december. the main point of contention being that russia's asking nato not to move any farther eastward, specifically into the countries of georgia and specifically here ukraine. this is something that washington and nato have refused to do and at the press conference laugh rob said that the west is negotiating exclusively on nato centric terms and that they're unwilling to compromise. and simply that rush 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 lavish, again,

reiterated what moscow has said time and time again, that it has no plans to invade. anyone, it simply doesn't want you crane to become a member state of nato. now on that point, leverage also said that kid has become actually a geopolitical pawn in a western dame to destabilize russia. let's take a listen, what he said to demolition up with them. okay. your gam, apparently a western colleagues need president zalinski only as a tool to pull russia out of balance that none seem interested in what he thinks negative consequences from oldest hysteria are impacting ukraine's economy in the national budget city of steel. to see 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 latrell has said to me to day that russia have no plans to

invade you crank. we need to see those words followed up by actions. is vitally important that the u. k. in its nato allies are prepared for all event humanities, now lever. 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 to speak with you at superficial for cuba, there is speculation even in some respect to media about some suppose it operation that we're preparing to seize kids and all the other cities of ukraine. will that some kind of crew is being prepared to install a puppet regime. so in the ukrainian capital, all this is from the narrative of so called highly like later, but as re city quite alone. 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 n law, anti tank missiles systems, what landed in ukraine and as early as wednesday, we actually saw another shipment of anti tank missiles systems for fall into the hands of the ukrainian 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 of britain's top diplomat appeared to be in need of a jewish room on its hearing. her talks with lab or off reports really confusing to russian regions with another 2 in the room. ukraine. you do recognize russia sovereignty over the rust of foreigners regions. don't ye? the united kingdom will never recognise russian sovereignty over those regions. well, those regions i've always been unquestionably part of russia, of fact that seemingly confused a u. k. foreign secretary will despite trust, apparently apologizing later for the mistake, it did spark

a wave of criticism online with money saying it was under coming in for the countries highest ranking diplomat to make social blunder. some wondered how she could go into the official talks and not even know the names of the regions she would discuss. full british home office minister on baker says, list caps, nato's 5 waves of expansion. ranch is not very good. i mean, that's the reality of it. she's brought to you in the post and not somebody pointed out to try to do so. but looking at the whole situation a deeply on the elbow, she wasn't probably brave to st. we've got the situation on the ground whereby the, the, you can us dollars the rhetoric, but also going to to, to a $100000.00 russian troops on the board of what reason we don't know. so i don't think it's like, and this was a credit to be the thing that most is become increasingly frustrated. it feel that it's being driven into a corner perhaps with what's going on. i think an object to view of the, of the ration development. the say recent over the last 1020 years has been clearly

that countries were pretty, was associated with them. so in union have one after the other become members of nature or the geography of the area. clearly, you created extremely close to instead of just just extra russia next to others. so i don't understand why the sentence as a rush is my bill front and by that equally, it has to be said however, that you end up a situation where to to, to be adopting a rather health style style is optimistic reasons. so both sides prior to the movement of periods of interest in driving the rhetoric that the world of the interested in both sides need to back down a bit. last protest by canadian truckers against toby vaccine magnets have been going on for 2 weeks, raising serious questions about an impact on the national economy. but he said a blocks another key kind of the us border crossing demonstrations have also

effected the auto industry disrupting production call like his ford and toyota. the quote is dividing the country into 2 camps. marty correspondent john hardy, has more, more like a dance party than better protest right now. i mean to be honest with you, which is really been the case over the last few days. look, noah, police say that the situation is volatile. the protestors here the truckers determined if one thing is true, it's that the supporters of this protest and those that are here are determined they're determined for their voices and their demands to be heard as far as volatility. we know that police have made some arrests, but overall it's been a very like over the weekend there were balancing castles here and there are families coming here. i described it as almost like a winter carnival type festival. that's really been what it's like a lot of music. there's going to be a rapper routing here in a short time. so that's been the overall vibe. but the pointed to protest is basically it started with truckers converging upon the city here,

january 28th. and ottawa are fighting against mandatory vaccinations. for the trucking industry, it's really morphed into a much greater protest over canada's coven 19 restrictions. and now a pretty fiery and intense debate about candidates, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of protest, rules and policies. are that in mind, it's also an extraordinary situation for police while they've stepped up. enforcement measures issuing more tickets, making some arrest, mostly people that are drunk and disorderly for what they call mischief. ah, there's a very difficult situation and how do you get all these trucks? hundreds of big rigs with trailers. how do you move them out of the city? if they have no plans on leaving local tow truck companies have said you're not using us. we have to work with these guys, we don't want to be seen doing this and some have even told me we stand in support of these truckers so it's a very, very difficult situation for police. in fact,

one, calgary police officer said it should be in there. there's a fine line between policing and politics. what is happening in ottawa, with a clear political influence on the police? physically exert political will on peaceful protesters for nothing more than possible. political gain is so very wrong on so many levels. i was just following orders is no longer an excuse. it is time to stand up and speak out by refusing to preach your fellow citizens fundamental charter rights. you signed up to help people stand with your fellow canadians and say enough is enough. and look, the majority of the protesters way talk to we've talked to many including trackers say i have really maintain that this is a peaceful protest. in fact, we heard a little while ago. there are a groups of police coming in here. and we heard one of the organizer saying, give them a wide berth fox,

we don't want to do anything. they're just doing their jobs, respect, and let's not try to intimidate then there's more of us. then there are of then relate. that's the point. this has been a massive protest over the weekend, thousands of people here. it's a little bit scale down. we're seeing hundreds of people, but none the less supporters men, women, children, continue to come here from all over the country. and we've seen the protest spread all over the country. there's right now a blockade going on on a very important bridge. the ambassador bridge, which is a main commerce point between canada and the united states, stretching from windsor ontario into detroit, michigan. and it's disrupted the financial flow. now $300000000.00 worth of goods goes across this bridge on a daily basis. so much so that toyota announced that it had to shut down the manufacture several production plants due to the ongoing blockade, but none the less vag said protesters maintain, this is a peaceful organization. it's a peaceful demonstration. still, canadian officials,

including the prime minister and other federal and local officials, have lambasted the ongoing movement, the ongoing protest, and the pastor protesters including one auto, a city council member. here's what he, she had to say kurney referred to it as sedition today. i think that's exactly what it is. this is theresa. really an answer raxon. it's a, it's an attack on our democracy. it's an attack on our federal government. the so called freedom convoy protests began when a convoy of trucks converged upon and rolled into ottawa, canada's capital city, january 28th, and 29th protesting mandatory vaccination rules for the trucking industry for truckers. but since then, it's morphed into a much greater political debate and fight over coven 19 restrictions country wide. and it's also sparked a fiery political debate about canada's freedom of speech. freedom of protest and freedom of assembly laws. we stayed focused on following the science on are

promoting public health rules and canadians stepped up in their communities. they stepped up for the front line health workers. they stepped up for each other and canada has been never been so strong and together as we are now. again, the protesters here, the supporters maintain that this is about their rights. you hear the word freedom out there a lot and they continue to contend this is a peaceful organization of people and we have seen families coming here over the weekend. there were bouncy, castles, there were a cook out. so obviously it would be a bad form for the police to come in here like gang busters, and try to take all of that down. and also, they say that this is a movement back, or at least a protest that has garnered not national attention. certainly protests across the country, even internationally. we've seen similar convoys in the united kingdom and france and australia, new zealand. we're also hearing about chatter and talk about something similar

potentially happening in the united states. a convoy maybe even stretching from california, going to washington d. c. possibly disrupting the super bowl or even president joe biden state of the union speech on march 1st. that remains to be seen. but one thing is very clear. this protest continues here on the, in ottawa and other parts of canada. full as official accusations of insurrection and even treason fly in our direction. one truck up pointed out to the us that the public is broadly line. the from what i gather is a majority of the residents of iowa 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,

were 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 use some laundry being done. so she took all my laundry, went home washed, it, folded it and returned it the next day. it's things like that that are happening throughout air, read it, but will stay on rally until their freedoms are restored. it would have been a, a per practical kind boy that wasn't disrupting things. i think that's the point of the convoys so that it encourages the powers that be to make rash and very quick this decision and, and not sit there and avoid the, the issue. and yes, it is going to disrupt things in this put more pressure. everyone knows that if you have, you have the right to protest and you have a way to protest. chiefly, this comes down to where we waited 2 years to have a plan in place to have our voices heard by speaking with our elected officials.

and it fell on deaf ears and because of that, it has take it. it has to take a lot for canadians to have to drive from coast to coast into ottawa, to have their voices heard. and that's why they about to stay there until they lift the mandate of these restrictions that are faced and restore the canadians rates and freedoms. we have a charter of rights and freedoms that should be protected. and unfortunately, our government has, has taken advantage of that. pandemic and that's why they're there to stay there until they are restored. low neighborhood is safe and tourists won't come back to that 3 alarming warning from new york police officers off the practically every precinct in the city revealed a shocking spike in different types of crime. no neighbourhood is safe. at this rate, we will lose the city by saint patrick's day. only the squirrels are safe. tourists

will never come back. 72 of 77 precincts subs in crime. she was up this year with one precinct from the bar of queens even registering an astonishing 142 percent leap and criminal activity across the city as a whole robberies and rape increased by 35 percent on shootings are up like 30 well, 3 in full american say recent, the funding of police departments is a reason for rising vaughn and across the country as a whole movie, as a particularly against slashing laura also budgets in poor and vulnerable neighborhoods. there were taught us police officer told us, authorities have gone soft on crime to get is a very bad issue. it's done in the issue is bail reform. the issue is deals between defense attorneys and prosecutors issues, lack of accountability for criminal action. it's just as simple as that. the soft on crime approach didn't make it a more aggressive community building bridge. it made it a better access for criminals to commit crimes and get away with that. we saw this

in the last several months with these massive retail thefts being not prosecutor on able to be prosecuted because of the high threshold for items to be stolen. so this is nothing new. this has been a very slow frog boiling. in the pot theory we, i've saw this, you know, 20 years ago when i was 1st and law enforcement, we saw them getting softer and softer on criminals. and here we are now. so this is, this is to be expected and it's going to be a lot worse. or you as long foresman filmmaking. social media headline is to off the face of been to the page of occasionally popular comic book about the police. the thin blue line page has more than 1700000 subscribers, but create among barons as facebook is now blocking all attempts to use the site where we can cross live the man behind the calling mike baron himself. or mike, thanks for joining us. that i good to be with us when you, you think facebook has gone to such lengths to buy on the page? well, i'm not sure it's facebook or they refused to run the ad. initially. i have to check

and see if they do still refuse. because they're, they're kind of on their back heels lately and, and i know so dogmatic. but what did happen is we submitted the book to every major publisher. and every major publisher turns down. i had some of the responses who are quite vulgar. and do you think, do you think perhaps somebody might have, you know, got offended or seen is inflammatory for some of the protesters for example, you know, comics holding signs saying screw the police. do you think somebody might have complain about not found that offensive? oh, i doubt, dan, i think that in the editor that so i would say no way because most of these publishers are what we call woke, which means that they subscribe to the new narrative in one of the narratives is the police of bad, says absurd. course, because civilization depends on the rule of law. here either for the rule of law,

you're not, the police are a necessary evil. although the reason i wrote this book is because i know a number of police officers and are good people. you have to have some kind of police force if you're going to have civilization. and do you think perhaps this example is late at the example of a page being sent, settled by and is another question of drawing the line between free speech and responsible writing. we've seen such cases before. yes, and i think that's accurate that a big tech in we know when they are they are woke as well. let me say they have it here to the official narrative and i don't have to re shake the narrative for you. you know how it goes, but it starts like this. men bad women, good. you can take it from there. and the police officers,

i know they're good people, nature in the forced to be a positive force in their community. and so they're kind of living the model show don't tell which is it's a principal storytelling, but it's also principle of life as well. that if you feel strongly about a subject or you want to help someone do it, you don't need a new screw following you around. you don't need to make press release and a dentist guys, most the police officers, i know it's a question of safety as well. isn't it because tragic events? a lot more surely. are bo shootings have shown really the potential dangers of inflammatory provocative content dealing with as needs to be more careful in the current environment? i absolutely. downtown man, hand los angeles, san francisco, portland, she l. minneapolis. these are some of the towns that are been turned into ghost towns because people are afraid to go down there. there's no law enforcement. san

francisco legalize theft up to $950.00. you can walk out of a store with dr. $950.00. we're a good shot, even a crime. so most of the wall to walgreens in san francisco has permanently closer doors. as has many other businesses, businesses are fleeing the cities and i can't blame them. i say let every productive citizen leave the city. right that. so we have time for, for this, our comment book or the mark baron, thanks so much for joining us in the program today. you're welcome. and there's an anxious wait for a response from the international olympic committee regarding media claims of doping in the russian figure. skating team and its daily morning greeting on thursday the i see called those reports pure speculation and said it won't comment while a pro was on getting over whether team skating sensation kimmy level of fail, the drug test 2 months ago. across about a month for us in beijing, his alexa,

yellow shasky, the 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 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. the a rumors have it at the i figure k to 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 of 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 beijing. 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. we've already been receiving wards of support for camila oliva in this very difficult situation. camila leave us program at the european championships, made me want the 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 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, told psychologically on the russian ice figure, skating team and the whole r o c olympic team. in general, for instance, i can only assume this is related, but during the male figure skating performance this morning, all 3 of our

o. c skate just fell during that performance. is it? so something you see every day when all members of the team 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, though it's still unclear what precise legal issues the like the mental ceremony for the russian figures cases, american news broke off a sin and my shorter name on shane the athlete at the central this you. despite any official ruling, cnn has learned that a russian figure skater has failed a drug test, and that person is a minor russian olympic athlete, supposedly tested positive as am i supposed to be surprised, seen and broadcast to believe as name when photos of a while plastering her with the accusations and other mainstream media outlets have followed suit headlines made sure to link the young says name with doping. despite

nothing, having been confirmed extra attention was by you to believe it was returned to training at the olympic facilities. legal media i list lanelle says the way you see it and handle the coverage is despicable. if you watch this and i don't suggest anybody does, but if you want to see absolutely the most biased a unconfirmed speculation. first of all, she's a minor. and the last i check one of the reasons for the a legit secrecy to protect a 15 year old and we know everything we know this traumatized the we know the drug, we know her name. oh, but, but by the way, she's a minor, imagine the pressure of anybody to be the olympics. imagine and be 15 years old. but imagine that you are right now in the, the, the cross hairs of this media microscope. and you theoretically haven't been

accused of anything, it's almost as though. and i merely speculating because after all, see it and love speculation. so i'm going to speculate, it's almost like saying, listen, if you enjoy your time here speaking on behalf of say, the, this olympic event. it will really behoove you to say as much as you can to insinuate to imply to basically in p own and, and indict russia based on nothing. let's face it, they have found russia guilty by virtue of some body of evidence. we have not been made privy to. it's despicable. just coming up to half oswell here in moscow sustain soon here. not international up next. find out about different types of cyber crime and how to stay safe on line without your commentary. we're backing off and our all of our latest join us again that ah
