politics, sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm. ah, this is i'll tell you, breaking news. russia were announced it's withdrawing troops from its border with ukraine. those military drills that have wrap up the pull out flies in the face of the hysterical western predictions of an imminent russian invasion. meanwhile, the ukrainian crisis will dominate, would have been billed as crunch talks between germany's new child sla schultz. i'm glad they may have posted that are underway right now in moscow for the news for you ahead candidates prime minister triggers a never before used emergencies act grunting. government extra power has been response to a truck is protest. it's creating concern though, among provincial chiefs who question the measures point and legitimacy. we don't believe this is necessary and alberta, we think it could actually be somewhat counterproductive. it is not legitimate and

it is useless with that life i'm world wide. this is t international, just 2 and 3 in the afternoon is tuesday, the 15th of february. i'm calling bray the big story. we're across for you this hour. the russian defense ministry has announced the troops conducting drills along the border with ukraine. and now starting to return to base stuff to completing their exercises, it includes units of the southern and western military districts. they've started loading that heavy kit on to trains, which the industry says will be heading to their garrisons later this choose a separate units are going to return on there. now the announcement comes amid intense western speculation over a possible russian invasion of ukraine, including predictions of it's supposedly happening either today or tomorrow. is the russian defense ministry making the announcements earlier on of the russian troops as always, will return to their permanent bases. as soon as their combat training activities

are completed, the units of the southern and western military districts which have now completed their tasks, have already begun loading equipment on to trains. these will move to their garrison's today. individual units will return on their own course. those troops have been a source of many, a hysterical headliner in the western press. if you would believe any of the outlet said, been batting on an invasion, it would come around either today or tomorrow or sometime in the future. does now mean with those troops going back to the garrison? they're all bets are off now. it comes after, say, geisha good. the defense minister had a meeting with vladimir putin. yesterday. he presented the results of those military jills to vladimir putin. and on the basis of those results, the decision was made to send those troops back to their bases. now it has, of course, been reclaimed by russia ever has maintained that it is the sovereign rights move troops around his territory. whether it be on the board with ukraine,

whether it be anywhere else in russian. but that wasn't good enough. of course, for western media, who decided to hi put her that situation and said that her rush was planning an eminence invasion. now also in a meeting yesterday with vladimir putin was sig oliver of the foreign minister who presented vladimir putin with a 10 page draft response to responses from nate. so and the u. s. is the general consensus that was, that said moscow wasn't very happy with the u. s. a nato responses to security demands or from moscow laughter of said that there is room for negotiation, but he doesn't want enlist talks, lou. we warn against endless conversations about issues that need to be addressed today. i received unsatisfactory answers. none of my fellow ministers responded to my direct message. we received 2 small pieces of paper, one from nato secretary general sultan burg, another from just a barrel. they say,

don't worry, we need to continue the dialogue. the main thing is to ensure de escalation around ukraine. i just think that this is a neglect of the norm, which was enshrined at the highest level and according to which no organisation can consider itself the main ones. therefore, we will continue to seek a concrete response from each country as was expected in the west, a russian aggression or a threat of invasion. it has actually come that the russian side has made a step toward said diplomacy. as it always said, he was pushing the line for diplomacy and the escalation now that has come in the form of sending those troops out from the ukrainian board and from the southern and western military districts, back to their base is it comes as something of a good will oh, offering a good, a sign of good will from vladimir putin on just moving over to the u. s. sir, president biden was once a bang the drum of that eminent invasion. he gave a specific day when as far as to say that wednesday, february, the 16th would be the day of an invasion. the kremlin has responded selected to the

whole world is thrown into disarray because of this. this is nothing but an absolute unprecedented information campaign to provoke escalation and tension in europe. throwing words like that around accusing someone of attacking someone announcing and evacuation of diplomats announcing that they will destroy equipment in embassies and cut wires and so on. this is some kind of ostentatious hysteria, which naturally is not based on anything. surely, if this hysteria had been replaced by a real desire to discuss each other's concerns than the atmosphere in europe, would have been completely different. and this is exactly what president putin is proposing and wallace culture. of course, this announcement flies in the face of western his theory about this eminent invasion as someone else flying today is the german chancellor olive shall see. i flew in by helicopter, as we saw into the kremlin, ready for talked with vladimir, is in here in a sunny, essential must going across. this announcement will make the mood hopefully a little bit brighter. at the mood before l. a shall say, came to moscow,

was one of the serious talks. he said there will be hard talk to glad amir putin and even harder sanctions, should russia push ahead with an invasion into ukraine, he had a meeting with ukrainian president vladimir zalinski on monday in those talks played down every ukraine's potential membership in san nato. he said that's been blown out of proportion by the russian side, and it's something that isn't even on the table it's, we will keep you updated with everything to do with those sources in german chancellor, all a show, some vladimir putin as they happen here on our t, danny armstrong and brad square. well those troop movements we were just hearing about there were also discussed by the russian foreign minister again of rob and also the current chairman and office of the pan european security organization. the o. s. c. a now shall time ago the how the joint news conference washing him was our team mark as they have for joins us now. hi there, more ada. just take us through what you were able to glean from the points raised

in that news conference. well, they both said that they had a rather productive meeting, which is good news, given that this is russia and poland, the 2 countries that haven't been in the best of terms in the many years. nevertheless, of course the focus was what is happening. you great, which the, the polish on medicine had stabilized security in europe said elaborate on the other had explained at length the brush up, present no threat to you. great. that there's no intention, has no aggressive intentions towards you credit and the all to explain the russian troops all ready with joy, as they had said that they would do from the onset. he also spoke at length about nato. it's conduct in recent years. a, it's desire to dictate, to russia it's over dubbed and completely exhaust whatever proposals and of whatever initiatives russia came up with. and only now has russia seen signs that

that is changing. week ago, he said, you leased our still nato calls on russia to improve security. when we make security proposals, all i did turn down. now we get the responses from nato and the u. s. all ideas, including no placement of medium and short range missiles. they said it as if it was their own idea. now the current dialogue with the u. s. is played by biden's rules, at least that's what the us wants. and he ends off to the us. so we want radical change in the sphere of european security. we saw the west responded positively finally, after many years of dismissal. national deals have said that the now that they have seen these signs of change in nato, perhaps the alliance is not a law, not a lost cause. and he also explained that, as i mentioned, that russian troops ah, withdrawing from areas where they were holding exercises with withdrawing back to

their basis, where they're permanently stationed. he also said that russia doesn't have to explain to anyone what its troops are doing in its own territory, where they're, they're carrying out exercises. in fact, he said in the pots, gestures of good will, whereby russia changed the location of various exercises from very close to nato bode this to the other areas. those gestures of goodwill went by completely unremarked. so there was no, no, thank you from nato. he also explained to a polish journalist, lost them whether there would be an invasion. he said, look, we have explained time and time again. he shoots out that exercise and we said initially in december where when that when the, all this hysteria and hysteria which he called terrorist like in its result because of all the fear and the terror that it is spread around the world. fire the by said western nations pads referencing a great britain. and the united states,

which have been at the forefront of this hysteria about a russian invasion. he said that the russian troops are withdrawing and he fully expects pardon, if he hasn't already to claim victory for russian troops pulling back to their permanent basis as they had said they would for months. so here perhaps a gay lover of whose noon for being very diplomatic, perhaps displaying undiplomatic colors. nevertheless, it did draw a lot from, from the journalists, assembled, especially when the another journalist, the try try to get a, get an answer from him in the short, a short thoughts from him saying that no russia wouldn't evaded which, in which case the sick, elaborate displayed exasperation okay, more i guess they have, thanks very much for is going to be the busiest form i'd have top level talk receipt in a while. has no thanks for joining us from central moscow. this our okay, was

a mirage was talking about there if you've been digesting a diet of some of those, let's face it pretty alarming. doing mongering headlines in the news and on t v over the past few weeks or so not at your anxiety levels or through the roof. hopefully we're managing to take some of the heat out of that for you. talk about that next with saskia. tie, they're gonna have to look for some new click bait for tomorrow morning's papers on the wall that now thought was it turns out that the west sa, crystal ball, that a patent for, for the rush invasion was nothing but a fake. of course there was no invasion, no storming of tea at no aerial bombardment. those tens of thousands of troops are returning home. here in crime, they committed is conducting drills on their own territory. quite the anticlimax given the apocalyptic winter is coming. rhetoric that we've been flooded by the last couple of weeks. what can you tell us about reports that you as intelligence believes russia is considering

wednesday for an attack, we cannot perfectly predict the day been invasion could began a major military action could begin by russia and ukraine any day now? well, it is still the case that an invasion could be imminent, and it is highly likely, i would just tell you that it is entirely possible that he could move with little to no warning. well, that hysteria that we've witness from the western political establishment on the mainstream media has felt quite unprecedented. and one has to ask, as these people are all now watching the russian troops load up that kid on trains and prepared to move out. do they feel foolish? you know, the papers who had said that today was the day who had drawn up invasion roots who had claimed that russia was setting up blood banks. the white house, which had warned that moscow was foaming a blockbuster full flag film, complete with fate corpses, ukrainian politicians who fled back country when it needed the most. of course, the embassies that urge the citizens to me mostly washington,

which every single day since christmas has been promising us. that war is just around the corner. it's imminent. turns out that their intelligence, which conveniently they refused to shout with us, wasn't worth the paper. it was written on little wonder that moscow feels that this is a historic moment. time goes by and still russia does not attack ukraine. the calculation by the united states, which ordered this music and by the british who joined them, is understandable. they invented this russian threat and gathered for heroic fight all in order to loudly announced their victory. i mean, it really has been an absolute bombardment from all sides when the thing that was needed, the most cool heads diplomatic dialogue, not all of this height. that was definitely a sense though that those were engaged, not one. i don't even trying to rain in the drama. in fact the opposite. they were sort of feeding off of it. it was a competition. who could be the most outrageous? so it leads you to ask the question, what was it all fool on one of dcs political heavy weights might just

a vogue given us a clue. if we were not threatening the the sanctions in the rest, it would guarantee that food would invade. i've always said that this was a win win because so much of it was about image for the west. but you look at president by to now he will be hailed as the man who us don't the evil putin in his tracks. he proved himself a leader in times of crisis. this is american diplomacy, sanctions, apparently, an exceptionalism in all its glory. and most importantly, it is a very, very different picture to what we were seeing even 2 months ago when inflation was wreaking havoc when biden's ratings. but through the roof when this country was more to fight than ever, and when his reputation as commander in chief was seriously dented, of course, by the debacle. that was the afghanistan withdrawal. but you just watch, you will not see those headlines anymore. they will just be swept away and be replaced by fight and the savior. who, along with his nato allies, stopped russian aggression and brought the wild back from the brink of war. never

mind, of course, that that was never going to be a war to begin with. okay, you have so as you're implying that some beleaguered politicians are perhaps being a little self serving only now using it is track, certain doctors are going to be working out over the next 12 hours. all the good folders, headline deadline to co write stuff, get tired of thanks very much for that. okay, well let's get some thoughts now on this from loyal sociologist, a member of germany's the left part 8 mountain dolts. so thanks very much for joining us. and i'll save as adults as a member of a political policy. then what do you think this withdraw means for the western politicians, an eminent invasion narrative. i think it's a very good step because no this narrative with which anyway was told yokes is gone. this debt, i mean, it was clear that rush out didn't want to wait. and just, you know, that especially the u. s. government and the british government,

they are in the we are in the worldwide crisis. and especially the u. s. is in the economic crisis. and they have one idea, maybe they have to start a war to get back to the world by taking this was, will be conducted against russia and china. they're producing propaganda to prepare that. and maybe by this withdrawal of the russian troops from combat exercises can stop that narrative. and i hope it will stop the aggressive way of the, especially the u. s. government. but we will see what will, what will be the next 6 months. there are still some skepticism though. i could just quote to you, the nato secretary general again stalled him, but he said, we've not seen any de escalation on the ground. and also plain that everything's in place for a new attack, giving the military lines had to be with the ukraine situation. so if this isn't that, the escalation, what do you think would qualify as such?

i mean it's, it's a matter of how you look at things. and if you look analytic, you can clearly see that russia all the way is giving and, and, and try to step by the way that had been the 20 and to defend the 21. combat exercises of the natal going to the east more. busy and more towards the russian border on the land side, on the side of the black female russia had conducted combat exercises. but there was no reason to do such a propaganda escalation, that a wall is close to come. so it's a bit of the decision of the major states, and i hope that our chancellor charles and we're talking today, they are both very bell educated and intelligent people that they can set to diplomatic way and find a diplomatic way to stop this spiral escalation. but we don't know what other

actors do, and yes, we only can hope that the natal doesn't want to draw the cause of a wall and the crisis we want to be kilometer prize just like before, the 1st and the 2nd world war. and especially the less done good in that would be great of inflation. and all of this belonging to such a kind of who rises. and they can either start to spread the wells, to the lation to overcome the crisis. all they had the other cars to draw a wall or be go wall and we hope they will not draw that kind of the big go well, which is against the will of all populations with german population, other populations. no one wants war show only some of the ones that everybody on all sides are saying we don't want war. but even as recently as yesterday, it felt like everybody was digging in with that position so much felt like there

was going to be no way out. so does today's news in your mind at least feel that we're making some progress on a global scale in order to resolve this wider crisis? yes, i hope so. i mean, it's the chance this is again, the way of opening the door for the mercy of the russian side. and we can only hope that our western government as well clean to that and see that this is a way to take a hand to has the whole, not with the wall, but to have to work with diplomacy and guaranteed security. i mean, what rush i want is not a war. it won't guarantee security that there is no more revolutions and normal attempt to stretch closer and closer to ex. well, the less than populations, of course, the one security. but it only can be given if this trust security to russia given

because it's, it isn't giving sense and ninety's, if you look back at the promise of our foreign minister in that time getting shot we set, the natal will not go further to the east and until now, many countries have joined the one the natal. it's actually, it's a clear situation. everyone will look that it's of an object, this d, c t, what's going on. and so that has to be security for all sites and we have to acknowledge that. and i think those who are into it and the diplomats were into it, show respect that then i'm very angry on all foreign minister. and i lena book who was making propaganda as a hand near the bottom of the bus. why didn't she take a violin or ask her telephone? if mister ralph would come to the same border and they drink a t as a signal of peace? she was pretending she needs. if she goes,

then you should be moving law. she was not in danger. it's an, it's a sign of aggression. i think now, i hope mister schultz and mister will send us a sign of peace and understanding and dialogue today. that's my whole. let's see. i, i just can hope. well, yeah, let's hope so. i will find out in the coming hours, no doubt. now given today's announcements of what's happening with russia's military, the bowl now really and nato's golden. those are threatening sanctions. do you think it could make a difference to the deadlock over russia's security concerns? i don't know exactly what you mean, maybe you can book it with another way. now that russia has said it's going to start moving. it's military and it's away from ukraine's orders. it largely means it's now up to nato on the west to start making overtures themselves, in terms of rush and security concerns. do you think the deadlock over those talks

can now be broken? yes, i hope so. i mean this is really a sign. and if natal state and the government now take the and that could be a very positive dynamic and that, that people will come. but they have to take their hand if they don't take the hand and start to beat with whatever proper gun with sending more weapons to ukraine of station and more troops. and due to the rush and bought a book out has to be both sides, both sides have to go small steps and then that can be some kind of negotiation. and, and in the end, when i would look for a perspective, i will really enjoy the european states. exactly what go in the more most fish. but, and i'm also protecting, when we look forward for cause active, we need

a common european perspective and russia as part of europe. so we need to common european security system including russia. that would be very, very fine. we could do that. i'm sure if the will be there, both sides look really enjoy that we have a long time. we have typed by culture. we have typed by long, long history. there have been trouble that been walls, but they had been times of culture, road exchange as well. and we should not to do more culture, it will normally go exchange and build the infrastructure and into into continental and continental security system, including russia and nato states. and then we can overcome this block confrontations which are really not linked to a situation where we are confronted with crew. and the climate crisis will say,

well, the german chancellor can achieve in these tools because this is his 1st chance, isn't it? to make it impression on the world stage and you get one chance with a 1st impression for now mouth adults in germany. thank you. thank you as well. good evening. you too. oh, on one of the headline news now, canadian prime minister justin for doe has triggered the emergency act for the 1st time in the country's history, claiming that a truck is protest that now into its 3rd week threatens the security of canadians. here in our capital city, families and small businesses have been enduring, illegal obstruction of their neighborhoods, occupying streets, harassing people, breaking the law. this is not a peaceful protest. we cannot and will not allow illegal and dangerous activities to continue. however, civil liberties groups say the criteria for triggering the act haven't come anywhere near to being satisfied the how to be by design because the act,

once it's activated, allows government to bypass democratic procedures. me acts supposed to be applied only in case of a national crisis, and it gives the government additional powers for 30 days, including the ability to close bank accounts and remove vehicles. a critic say the so called freedom convoy, protest against vaccine mandate, doesn't amount to a threat to national security. we premiers in some canadian province is saying they don't want the emergency legislation implemented on their territories. we don't believe this is necessary and alberta, we think it could actually be somewhat counterproductive. it is not legitimate and it is useless. so we don't want it. and we don't want the extent of the powers that the federal government could give itself. meanwhile, in the canadian capital, all to what supporters of the truck has remained camped out on parliament hill, something of a festival atmosphere that say with loud music being played, we spoke with freedom convoy,

ontario organizer about the newly triggered government powers. he told us the prime minister should result to dialogue, not force i think he's a coward doing that. let's be honest here. real leaders will come out and talk to the people. they'll come in and find resolving resolution, especially when the people are being peaceful. and they're only asking that the mandates and we have not used any violence. we have not caused any problems. in fact, we've, we've done more good than these leaders. the so called leaders and ottawa keep attacking us with media lies. so for us, we're not moving, we're not going anywhere until our demands are met, regardless of what just ensure those says or tries to do. you don't want any kind of escalation of any, any sort of it's, the government continues to double down with an ira. just what i'd like to see though is that the government to actually come out and talk to us and hear what we

have to say. rather than continuously try to weigh talkers on people. all things that have now reached a point where, shoving support for the freedom convoy could cost you good job of vancouver, radio stations, 5 host kid carson of the he said the movement wasn't racist. it's also taken down his page on the website of the station says that a respects his freedom of speech, but objects to him, calling facts, what it sees as misleading and inaccurate opinions. cousin himself says the station wasn't letting him do his job properly. i house to radio show expect to talk about all sorts of things, but it seems i have to avoid talking about all the things that really matter. and it's especially hard with the thing that's happening in ottawa, a combo support. a pastor henry hildebrand says that the mo, the repressive that the government is, the more people will support the truckers. the majority of canadians are on the side of the moving freedom movement. because at this point, you know,

has 16 percent, a support in the polls, which we all know isn't a lot and it's gonna, it keeps on diminishing as he forcefully acts against his own citizens against the people that voted him in a. it is, it, i don't think much will change because the more the more he or presses the people, the more it confirms that they are standing up for what they should be signing up for, which is our god given freedom. we can keep up any more. we don't noise at closing, as of the opt, rosie is opening up right now is room. we were removing this by keeping doubt. he said he's keeping the mask. he says people cannot go to sports halls so which one is it? we can't keep track. and that's how it looks for moscow this hour. thanks for watching . get more of our headline news it out. he don't call mind on our youtube channel for now though, for me coming by the rest of the news too. thanks for watching. ah,

the democratic republic of congo is among the richest countries in the world and natural resources, but he cannot mclee it's still one of the poorest cobalt is an essential material in manufacturing batteries from odin, devices like electric cars, mobile phones and computers. 60 percent of the wealth 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 pay for schooling. next time you, you as a fancy gant, you had like a smartphone camera laptop. just remember that there's a chance it works thanks to what child hard labor children like, john michelle henry at o. countless others like them. ah

ah, i am back kaiser. this is because the report, max and stacy are in el salvador on the cutting edge of the big coin revolution, where the president is out there building stuff because big corners like to build stuff. stacy? well, you know, i did say recently here and on twitter i said, bit queen plus bu kelly equals boom and tourism. well, we have some numbers and i a not, i'll be a little bit just, i'm not bragging, humble, bragging here. but a lot of the tourism here and people are here to meet max and states. we meet them all over the street. people who flew in because they saw our tweets. and we've had a fun time meeting. everybody. i kind of feel like we're part of the love boat, like where the, the captain greeting people as they board the ship. that is this rock get going to

.
