when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground. ah, the best way to find any, deescalate tensions of you grinders or stop supply in the country with western weapons. that's the message from russia defense minister, expressed through his british counterpart during urgent talks in moscow. russia's figure skating, but oration says it has no doubt kimberly ever is innocent of any wrongdoing. despite her testing positive for a band substance, the organization says it's investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident from plus rushes and into committees. raising concerns over the timing of the test results for the sample was taken back in december, but only revealed in the last few days. british peers, se frontline nurses are getting fired for raising concerns about trans patients

being placed in single sex. both spot warningly policy threatens women safety with blood from moscow. thanks for joining us tonight on our team tonight. shalana, daniel hawkins. wherever you are this evening, welcome to the program. now, if the west stops supplying weapons, the ukraine, that would be the best step towards the destination of the tensions. that's the view, at least expressed by roches events. minister who was meeting with his british count about in moscow. how discussed the sea without his moscow correspondence donald quarter. lot the meeting, the russian for defense minister really wanted to drive the point home that russia is not responsible for this increasingly tense situation on the european continent right now. after all, it's the western powers that are actually arming this hostile power. key of right on the doorstep of russia. we'd like to propose a step towards reducing tensions and end the pumping up of ukraine with weapons

from abroad. that's being done publicly and significantly. then it's not entirely clear why. i'd also like to understand why britain has deployed special forces to ukraine and for how long they'll be there. now with regard to the u. k. chicago, of course, had in mind the anti tank missile systems that london has been arming ukraine with over the past several months. on top of that though, the u. k is also considering expanding potential the scope of potential sanctions against russia and deploying more troops in europe. near russia's border, it's all contributing to what troy go called, all time low relations between the 2 countries. wallace, on the other hand, tried to play down the significance of british troops in europe and specifically in ukraine. he also said he was reassured when troy go told him that russia that doesn't have any plans to invade ukraine, and this is actually a real 1. 80 from the kind of stuff he was saying in the run up to the meeting. how far are you prepared to go and reserve, in terms of sending troops upon?

is the 1000 troops and reserve? would you hesitate and sending them if needed? we wouldn't hesitate once we, once we know that they already and that professional and often we know they all recently use multiple governments urging their citizens to leave you crying urgently. i'm walkie thing that's been the move bought by several governments. while it all started, when the american president joe biden said that all americans who are right now living in ukraine or are just there in ukraine, should get out of the country as soon as possible. because the u. s. military is not going to help them if the apparently eminent threat of russian invasion were to become a reality. burke and citizens should leave, should leave. now we're dealing with one of the largest armies in the world is a very different situation and things could go crazy quickly. of course, this just added more fuel to the fire of hysteria that's been burning for months already. and a number of u. s. allies, clay, after biden's declaration followed suit, they declared

a maximum danger for their citizens who are in ukraine right now and said they should get out of there as quickly as possible. these include japan, south korea, the netherlands and montenegro. these were the countries that, i mean, that follows followed suit after the united states. interestingly enough though, the high command of us troops in europe actually is backtracking on this. now it says that if there's some sort of russian military operation in the region, it's not going to be an invasion. so we are certainly living through some times of extreme, extraordinary hysteria and earlier my colleague danny armstrong, actually did some investigating into that. so let's take a look at what he found. the old saying goes, see no evil, hear no evil speak, no evil. but that's definitely not the case with west in mainstream media who strain the eyes and is to detect malice and militancy in everything that russia says or does almost without exception. and that goes doubly so for when one flat a mere putin is consent. who can forget the president's quote,

some beauty in talks with a manual micron rescue to do it as key of says they will comply with uminski agreements. then they say that this will destroy the country and the current president recently said, but it doesn't like any of the clauses, whether you like it or you don't like it. bear with it. my beauty, you have to comply the russian leaders stuff guy talk is sometimes explained away as a sort of falseness. that is a performance for domestic audience. but put his choice of birth. sir, bit in his remarks on monday to take it or to endure, shows an ugly underlying sentiment about the role of women clots from russian folk law. putin's words were pulled apart and repackaged as miss such any and ugly machismo. talk about beauty being in the eye of the beholder. as for the setting where some saw a white great table, m. s. m. saw a blockbuster villain on a throne of fear. for those at the top decor and furniture can be tools to impress,

charm and intimidate the terrifying seat of power in game of thrones as a towering iron chair forged from the melted swords of defeated enemies in the james bond series villains are known for decorating their headquarters with shark aquariums in real life. however, there is vladimir putin and his confusingly massive white table. then there was the west, blind faith in a rush, an invasion of ukraine. you remember the imminent one that never actually turned up? russia could launch an attack on ukraine any day. now. russian evasion of ukraine would be rethink that with this by ukraine's president himself. actually saying the exact opposite. but that as usual fell on death is well, she's done through. we have tanks on the streets. no. when you read media, you get the image that we have troops in the city. people fling, that's not the case my on the president of ukraine, and i'm faced here and i think i know the details better here. this outright

refusal to listen resulted in mainstream use broadcast. tuning into weather forecasts. grasp you tits as the term for the month of spring when travel in russia and ukraine by road becomes more difficult. usually its impact is most felt in march. as the snows begin to melt, military analysts are debating whether a continuation of the mild winter might affect any plans for inoffensive. so do they actually think putin would invade on horseback? but that could also be the reason why diplomacy between the kremlin and the u. k. got stuck in the same mud. maybe it explains why liz chose britain's foreign secretary, use the world on a murky map which places baltic states on the black sea. we will say supplying and offering extra support into our baltic allies across the black sea, and randomly annex is russian regions. you do recognize russia sovereignty over the rust of foreigners regions, don't you?

the united kingdom will never recognize rash and sovereignty over those regions. so as for seeing and hearing and speaking, oh, evil. when the world is seen through a western media tinted lens and geography isn't a strong point. on this backdrop brushes, top diplomat says it's hard to get through to western counterparts. riddles, jewel and t. i'm 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 hear learners homeless all over you. ok, independence part you says even ukrainians are tired of the war rhetoric. i think the talks between the 2 defense ministers, a bit been wallace on his counterparts of moscow seem to come better than the talks between las truce and latter off a couple of days ago. but obviously we're still nice grounds here. but what needs to happen is there needs to be more dialogue, them needs to be more sensible conversations where that stood out in the open like

these talks, or whether they're done behind closed or like i, i expect will happen. what doesn't need to happen is sensationalism ccb rattling like we've seen from joe barden. i think i think he said that things could go crazy very quickly and encourage people american citizens to lead ukraine, which has started or so. but i will hon. the country's telling me that citizens sleeve ukraine. it's irresponsible and i think you know in many ways me the ukrainians are getting fed up with this as well. i mean, the ukranian president actually says that western politicians, western media outlets should dial down the rhetoric and be sensible about all this because all they're doing is, you know, it's as if they're trying to rushing headlong into conflict. and that's the last thing that we want. international testing agency has confirmed that a band substance was found and a sample taken from rush in figures k to camila believe up back in december. the

agencies as it was forced to address wording media speculation, following a delay of the metal ceremony for the olympic figure skating team competition in which camila won gold. however, the test result is only serving to raise more questions than answers as alexio's. shasky reports from beijing. now far more questions now than the answers after the statement. we do have at least some confirmation of what is going on behind the scenes here because it's never been the case in the history of the olympic games. when a metal ceremony has been delayed for more than 5 days already, it happened a last weekend, and the, the, or at least one their medals haven't still received it. now the official side of the story was that a certain legal issue was being considered and prevented the outage from getting their metals. now the idea statement that is in the morning shed some light on what exactly was going on. now 1st and foremost, the doping sample which was tested positive was obtained from camila, while eva on december 25th in st. petersburg,

russia during the russian ice figure skating championship, which of course of leave a one comfortably and that a by that ensured her participation in the olympic games that most bizarre part of the story is that the positive results came back on february 8. and i have to explain here that since rossa is rendered as noncom blind by the world anti doping agency, rosalinda had to send the sample to an accredited laboratory. that laboratory happens to be a laboratory in stockholm, sweden. so the biggest question here is as to why it took more than a month and a half to produce a result from that probe which was taken on december 25th. something which even the head of the russian and become interesting is law was nichol stressed in his address address a just early on saying that usually according to the what a protocol a result from a doping probe should be conducted within 20 days. do the math, that means that should have been conducted by january 15th,

the latest. this broke happened before bay gene, an even before the european skating championship, where glen eva also participated, all other doping tests, both in europe and here in beijing. all of them were negative. that was something some by both the olympic committee and by the russian skating union. by the way, russian skating union produced this statement from us, which we can now listen to the russian figure. skating federation doesn't doubt the honesty and integrity of its athlete. we will make every effort to clarify the circumstances of what happened and will provide the athlete with the necessary comprehensive assistance and support. another hugely important point to understand here is that when the positive result came back again on february, 8th, rou sada, was following the international protocol and immediately suspended, believe from further participation in olympic games. but the athlete filed an appeal and asked for an expedited process and on february 9th, through sada,

allowed volleyball to continue her participation in the olympic games. that has to be a reason for that, that definitely it just cannot come out of nowhere. we are waiting for some sort of explanation from the side. of course, we understand they have their hands full now, because we understand that now both the international skating union and the international olympic committee have filed an appeal against ro, side as decision to allow volley. we're to participate in the games, and this is something that needs to be resolved by february 15th, the latest. that is what an female i skate is, will take to the rank in beijing to compete for the metals here. you'll understand that isn't it. it's not because she's a protected, personal minor on those that's very important. and i hope that people respect that . and that's why we've not been able to communicate virtually a tune up until now. but, and that's why also because of the speculation, the media about the name and the whole story that actually the chase will fit to put out a clarification statement. we talk in here, not just about any,

any skates. are we talking about one of the most talented skaters on the planet who wowed the crowds? both sports related and ordinary, you know, common lovers of sport without, without last weekend. it was a historical performance woman ever in the history of olympic gains to do a double quad on the ice. and don't forget, she is 15 years of age and i have to tell you it's both heartbreaking to think what is running through. i had i, in any case there could be that it could not be as bad as we all think it is. while eva is a minor, she is just 15 years of age. so under water protocol, she's considered as a protected person. so if any punishment comes away, if she's found complicit or deliberately taking this medication and not informing the authorities of any medical reason for that than a punishment in her case may be lightened. deprivation of metals from the russian olympic team is not even considered at the moment. this is an individual case which

could even be result after the beijing olympics is over. americas ended irving. she is already floating melody or of ceiling. russian athletes saying he's ready to use an anti doping law that allows you authorities to prosecute foreign athletes or officials outside the country. at the same time, the russian olympic committee shape is questioning the timing of the test results. coming out, i have serious questions about the timing that passed between december 25th when the sample was given in st. petersburg and february 8th when it was made public. in accordance with international standards of the world anti doping agency laboratory . the deadline for loading sample a is 20 days from the date of receipt of the sample in the laboratory. it looks very strange that the test took almost a month to get from st. petersburg to stockholm. this raises very serious questions for me. here it's not really about the doping case as such because these will be dealt later on and we do not even know if there is a positive

b. s. i see there is not yet because the information was given on the very late, i must say. and that means it has to be the right to request to be so. so if there is a confusions. causative test is not yet even decided. that means the court before duration post 4 can only assess what will be perhaps the likelihood in their mind. what will happen with this case, which day will not be able to decide themselves the only thing they can decide ease suspension for the next event, which will be the 15th december rent or not. and i think given, given the heart tension and the big effects that we have, such as suspension, they should be very careful in determining this they detected substance,

try matters it in as usual. you the true heart disease and hands on it. but it may also help athletes recover from strenuous training. a few believe really about knowingly took the drug and people on social media have been expressing widespread support. her him and the allegations issue. while russians currently in beijing have shared their confusion. this is, marcia may have left it up. our athletes are often subjected to very strict drug tests. it would have been particularly stupid to have not been clean when coming here. i'm certain they are clean. tamila has been a favorite at these games. every one's been talking about her, she's been under enormous pressure from the entire world, especially the media there, but we believe in her and wish that she goes on to victory. how service this whole situation, not just whether they'll take away the metal is so disappointing. it would be for anyone who loves their country, especially as it concerns such in athens. oh, the situation is so confusing when no one really knows what's going on and why,

or whether someone has something to gain from this. it's very sad. we're in beijing and were cheering for the russians, hoping very much that everything will go smoothly. are figure skaters are the absolute best. irrational in regards to also told my colleague nikki, are on that believe was continuing to try and under tremendous russia. my experience with my partner with tiffany when we were there, it was only 3 days and we had the stress and everything being there. and i cannot imagine how difficult it is to be there for such a long time. and with all of the stress of everything going around at the moment, i have so much respect for her so much love. and i mean, we've been on shows together, ice getting chosen just the dedication amount of work she puts in as much as the talent like she is there before. i mean, i think we came like 20 minutes before the show just kind of warmed up a little bit. she was there preparing training, which is an amazing one thing that's come up in this case has been flagged as

peculiar as the how late the results of the test was really strange. it's a long time and there's actually a regulations of how long the test take to provide and then it's, it's strange that it's been delayed to such a peculiar dates with so much going on in the media right now. do you think it might be taking a toll on her to such a strong person, such a determined person and even at such a young age? you know, she has the dedication and you can see that she, she's the, she's trading from what i've heard. she's training well, she's probably limited her social media, whatever to kind of not deal with that and just focus on the skating, which is what she is amazing. i've heard from so many different people around the world. how, in spite, how amazing her routines were, and they were really truly memorable, and i think they'll throw that the. remember that now with america has made some

elections. foss approaching the biden administration's results having less than encouraging for his party would inflation song to its highest point in for decades for the frustrating of public already where you from the pandemic. even biden's fed democrat, so frustrated with what's going on in the white house when i live to or do you still respond to caleb open for more details? caleb, thanks for joining us. what have this administration's results been so far? and one of the prospects for those midterm elections? well, it's just 10 months until we have the mid term elections, where americans will go to the polls around the country and elect a new congress. and right now things don't look so good for the democrats, and we actually have prominent democrats in the us senate and other figures in the democratic party speaking up about the problems that lay ahead for their organization. the national democratic brandy. and i think in rural america generally is toxic, and it's because, quite frankly,

we don't show up what we're doing here in congress. i think it's no great secret that for 5 months, with the exception of the infrastructure, we have not been addressing the needs of the american people. now, the congressional poll trackers that predict election results are indicating that if the vote were taken today, the democratic party would go down in flames. the republican party would take back control of both houses of the u. s. congress. both the senate and the house of representatives, the public is unsatisfied with the job. the biden administration is doing on a number of issues, but the biggest of which is the economy. the u. s. public does not approve of biden's handling of the economy and for good reason. at this point we've got the highest rate of inflation in 40 years. in the past year, the prices in the united states have gone up by roughly 7.5 percent. now, joe biden has spoken up and urged americans to calm down with their economic

frustration. new food prices, green, we're going to bring him down, show the group in the family were a price at the pump went up. you felt i understand, but these things are necessities but even people in jo biden's own party are not buying it. a number. busy of democrats have stepped up and said, there is a problem here, and biden doesn't seem to be doing the job. americans need him to do in these tough times. congress in the administration must proceed with caution before adding more fuel to an economy already on fire. as inflation in our $30.00 trillion and national debt, continuous store climb only in washington dc. do people seem to think that spending trillions more of taxpayers money will cure our problems? let alone inflation ramped, inflation and soaring prices are crushing, crushing the american people. this is not about financial inconvenience, the wealthy people who can stomach it. this is about massive price increases for

essential goods that make up a huge share of working families budgets. this is a direct result of liberal policy choices. now if the democrats don't want to lose control of the u. s. congress, where the public goes to vote in 10 months, they've really got to turn things around. because right now, the polls indicate that the democratic party is in to take major losses. well. 8 their opponents in the 2 party system, the republicans would probably do pretty well. i as a result of this situation, so not a good, not good times for the binding administration or for the democrats and things look good for the republicans heading in the mid terms. need a key 10 months for domestic politics on his state. so he's caleb open that with the update. thank you. k, nurses are being sacked for questioning the policy of placing transgender patients and single sex was bernice nicholson made the revelation of the house of laws. ton down harmon min calling probation to be put in wards according to the bus sex. she

was the current policy threatened women as dignity, privacy and safety. traditionally female patients in the n h. s, and in private hospitals have been allocated beds and single sex wards accommodating only women patients. transgender ism, and i speak as a woman, has undermined that provision with the 21. 900, any just guidance authorizing self selection of patient gender on arrival in hospitals. the current disputed national hell service guidelines say trans patience should be accommodated according to their presentations, such as the way they dress and the name they currently use rather than their biological sex above. the senior british of official says the issue is trying to strike a balance between all patients, right? the in a chest is committed to meeting as duties under the equality act. and as such, needs to give do regard to both those who gender identity is the same as their biological sex at birth, as well as those who are not. this means that the rights and needs of women and trans women are equal in law. well let's go live now. so l g, b, t,

and rights campaign clare, damien, m. b, e. claire, thanks for joining us in the program. good. serve you with us today. this is obviously an emotive issue. certainly caused strong opinions on both sides or do you see how some women may feel threatened by the presence of trans people in there was so i was sorry. was there a question? yes, it was clear. so did you do you, do you sympathize with some women that may feel perhaps their safety is somehow compromised by the presence of friends people and i was well, i'd like to get this out to this opinion. i'd like to get at the fact and i am female, and i have already stuff in the n a s. and been at by d n. a check for pointing out the difference between our patients and transgender male patients, in fact. and this week, my surgeon tells me that i don't have a brain tumor,

which i'm worrying about for 3 years. but i do have a blog there that could have been solved 3 years ago. and if my request for female clinician had been onset, now i base my attitude on the fact, her majesty the queen gave me an m b a. and from me, that means it's a responsibility to my head of state to look at the facts and that's what i've done . i'm, i have gone into the m o. j this, i'm sorry for russia. the u. k. has the ministry of justice and the ministry of justice, publish sexual offender data. and i have looked at all of it since 2000. i have also looked at the transgender, sexual offender data from 2016 to 21, all 5 years. and what this shows is that we can categorically say,

now that 99 percent of all sexual offenders are male regardless of gender identity, there is no threat from so called trends, so called people the a serious about male trends, women in female wards and an issue of out trans man in female was it is certainly not any problem about trans men in my awards. and so this debate is failing on its language if i may say, so, i'm speaking of debate on the right to express opinions of both side and i just off have been known to lose their jobs are over this policy over expressing their concerns should they have been fired, it's completely wicked that they have lost their jobs for making statements that are absolutely supported by the u. k. governments, ministry of justice, sexual offender, statistics. it's not

a question of feeling uncomfortable. that feeling reflects the fights that 99 percent of all sexual offenders are male and got a very few opportunities that some in the male population won't take to take advantage of women. there is no threat from female transmitted and indeed i am. i have struggled to find even one, sexually offending trans mom. and so it looks to me that the rate of sexually sex will affect in male trans women is the same as it is in, in, in about male people. and therefore, since prisons us off to go to not traditionally, but because when they had mixed wards,

they failed and women were raped. unclear, i mean, you've totally started with the statistics from the b, m o j, the ministry of justice in great detail. why do you think we are in ensures isn't taking these into account one issue, these guidelines for patients safety? well, i think in britain we have a severe problem with much. i have simply applied to gcc mass and the ministry of justice figures. and they show very, very clearly that there is no sexual threat from, from well, i think quit, we're having a few connection issues with claire damien that we will try to get back to a bit later. we'll bring her interview. now that was claire, damien, algebra in watts campaigner a clergyman and b e will try to give you her to be just a bit later. loads of the headlines for the sour here and also international.
