[000:00:00;00] a top headlines right now here, we're not the international, the west to white binding. it's war drums with the u. s. president and 5th thing that the threat of a russian invasion of ukraine remains very real at the 5 moscow announcing it was wrapping up drills along the border and providing videos of the departing trying to verify with uncertainty over ukraine, pushing up energy prices, germans farrah shortage and electricity supplies could lead to nationwide blackouts . they hear it on tape. we listen to the politicians continue to act like they do in the foreign policy with russia and other countries. blackouts may happen. the problem is, politicians are afraid of not being elected if they do something wrong. it is hard and crucial about the price of bachelor transfer. their data needs to be more

support. the prime minister is in denial and is ignoring the science. he might as well be back at the cottage because he's doing non productive report constructive to help this situation. canadian prime minister just intruders facing enormous personnel. froman peas over his decision to trigger emergency powers meant for times of national crisis in response to a protest by truck driving with no, i just off the 8 o'clock here. 8 in the morning on february, the 16th is already turning into a busy wednesday for your world wide headlines. i'm rural, re sushi. well, it does seem that war. mongering is hard to stop once it gets started. despite russia announcing it was withdrawing troops from his border with ukraine and backing that up with a defense ministry video showing departing tanks. washington, however, so as a con, verify any of it thrush into french minister reporting to day as some military

units are leaving their positions near ukraine. that would be good, but we have not yet verified that we have not yet verified the russian military units are returning to their home base while he's on a quarter joining us up, bright and early this morning. here in the studio. great to see you today. what exactly if you can tell me this, what, what is the west one? if indeed, putting out all these troops isn't enough. while rory, it seems like whatever you tell western officials at this point, they're just going to believe what they want to believe. it doesn't really even matter that russia's stiff, administrative defense has said that troops are going home on tuesday. it doesn't matter that vladimir putin and sergei laugh rav confirmed that afterwards. the west doesn't even care about video footage of the actual withdrawl. joe biden is still on this harping on this invasion hysteria that's been going around the western world. over the past several months. we are ready with diplomacy to be engaged in diplomacy with russian and our allies and partners to improve

stability security in europe as a whole. and we are ready to respond decisively to rush an attack on ukraine. just still very much a possibility. now what attack are we talking about? nobody really knows, but biden is so far it, he's, he's not, he's actually far from the only one who's still harping on this russian invasion hysteria, even after moscow said troops were returning home the british tabloid, the sun was claiming that an invasion was set to take place exactly on february 16th at one a. m g m t. all that time has passed, and the only thing we can hear on the border between the, between the ukraine and russia is crickets. i mean, still looks as if they like the hype because the tabloid is actually writing that russia might still attempt to invade the baltic states if it was, if he was allowed to invade ukraine, i'm in, at this point, all the stereo in the west just looks like crazy to people in the east.

is there a doctor in the house, especially since hallucinating disorders? it looks like political therapy will not be sufficient, kill sky mongers, of the hung over upcoming weekend. thought that the, the whole hysteria of ukraine. i mean, it really is having a negative impact on the lives of every day people. i mean it's not just fearing, you know, making people worried in europe or america. but i mean, tell me about ukraine. how, how are the people doing that? well, when you look at this and you take it at face value, a lot of people might think that rushes the target of all this hysteria. but moscow is not really that affected of by it or the whole of russia for that matter. like you said it's, it's really the ukrainian people, the people who have been suffering from a, drawn out conflict in don boss for years now. and who just want peace and this hysteria, this information war that the western media has unleashed has caused hysteria to go throughout ukraine. people have been organized, a have been organizing militias. they've been training for some sort of a legit russian invasion that turns out never happened. you know,

this country ukraine that the united states and western powers have been saying they've been trying to protect. it seems like they're actually destabilizing it when that some of it's in fact we have been observing a unique situation where the west, for example, the united states in london, dangler saxon jew, we're trying to outdo each other. and indeed, so on demand de rome drain child, which has been ye ukrainian government within the space of the month or 6 weeks. so after months of the western media and politicians accusing russia of planning to invade ukraine, specifically because they had troops near ukraine's border, you'd think that those troops being withdrawn would calm them down, but unfortunately, seems like that's not the case out. he's done a quarter. thank you. and with the western hysteria basically refusing to simmer down energy prizes, insist on going up. germans now are being hit particularly hard the latest market data suggesting they pay almost $3.00 times more for electricity than that of the

global average. also driving up bills are high energy taxes and berlin's push, of course that have well green old ton of hips. now electricity shortages even lead one german cities, one of the possible to week outage the local authorities and went so far as a hand out brochures with tips on how to get by and that eventually he told residents to stalk up on drinking water, tin food, and medicine plus candles for light and would to keep warm. well, here's what the locals think all about it. as it is so hot, it is hard and crucial about the price of petrol and transportation. there definitely needs to be more support. germany's energy policy is 100. the reason why the probability of a black out is increasing. everything that's happening right now is a disaster. most data and the problem is politicians are afraid of not being elated if they do something wrong. everyone wants electricity, but nobody wants a wind turbine in front of the house and we've lost nuclear power plants scheduled

to be shut down. the futures looking bleak as ovens with our politicians continue to act like they do in their foreign policy with russia and other countries that blackouts may happen. i think we are badly prepared. there are no facilities for emergency power. meanwhile, germany's administer of economy affairs and climate action has rejected public cause to reduce the tax on electricity and did over v a t on energy r. robert hot back argues at such a move would only fuel inflation economics. professor hines, joseph bought from told us that the move to green energy is the main driver of energy price inflation. does it indian me out looking electricity prices in germany a very high, they are the highest in europe. this is partly due to the fact that we initiated in energy transition in germany. it is increasingly affecting energy prices and we haven't seen the end of it. prices will continue to rise. there is no way around

the fact that we have to increasingly include environmental costs. gus supplies important. i think the gas pipeline is urgently needed for germany, especially needed during this period of transition to green energy was runaway to have more wind and solar power gas fired power stations can fill the gaps left by taking coal fired power stations off the grid early on shutting down the last 3 nuclear plants that i think the noise stream to pipeline is very important for germany, every one to achieve the energy transition. oil prices are also at record high thanks in large part of the tensions over ukraine. the brent crude oil price jumped above $95.00 a barrel for the 1st time since 2014. and karen can, i saw the former austria and foreign minister says that oil supplied disruption and the ongoing tensions could be, quote, catastrophic. the germany. it's to haven't been this supply contracts, i'm guess the energy bill for the average household and companies will be even

higher than the already in germany. germany is very much dependent on russian. not only guess supplies just more than 34 percent. it's all about oil and it's all about polish from a german vantage point. i would say this should everything in order to, to keep the oil gas and coal flow on the other hand, from a russian vantage point. and given this tremendous stalemate, this i'm believable, waited the whole go see of not string to is handled. if there is too much of a strain on the russian patients on the patient all together to companies in bold, i would not exclude that. there will be a major shoot with truckers protesting cove. it mandates for over 2 weeks now in canada, the pressure on the country's prime minister is certainly mounting. the head of the

opposition told him to go back to college and study science soft, just intrude. oh, invoked i never used before. emergencies act to push back on the rise. isn't it true that the prime minister's actions could serve to actually make things worse and not make things better? keeping canadians safe, protecting their communities and neighborhoods, and ensuring jobs and our economy. this is about the prime minister's video, logical attachment to keeping covet restrictions and mandate by 63 percent of canadians want their restrictions and mandates to. and conservatives presented a motion yesterday asking simply for a plan, but the prime minister is in denial and is ignoring the science. he might as well be back at the cottage because he's doing nothing productive or constructive to help this situation. the emergencies act is supposed to be applied only in the case of a national crisis. it gives the government extra powers for 30 days,

including the ability to seize and freeze bank accounts. although it can't be used against that of peaceful demonstrators, riley is by freedom convoy. supporters who oppose vaccine mandates have been largely peaceful. we heard from one of the protest to porters an ottawa, who says, invoking emergencies on the legislation with it can lead to the abuse of power by the government. politicians understand that if they use this drastic measure that it can be abused and that's exactly what we're seeing today. we're not at war anybody. nobody's dying, nobody's getting kidnapped. but this federal government is trying to save face from a politician named justin trudeau was trying to save his political career. and it's absolutely wrong. he needs to be held accountable. and citizens need to know that he is violating the canadian charter of rights. one person should not have the power to initiate such a drastic measure by himself. this should be a unanimous 100 percent agreement of all premieres across the country when there's

a split and you have members of your own liberal party. speaking up against this action of imposing the federal emergency act, it shows division. it shows that there is no support. when he got in was 32 percent of canadian votes, the lowest in canadian history. and now those polls show that that is slipped only 16 percent. so this is all about justin trudeau trying to save his political career, trying to save face and play like a rock star on the world stage as wrong. when this comes, as a supporters of the freedom convoy, remain calm down on parliament hill in the countries capital city auto. it's where the atmosphere does still remain raw. the festive, the mass protest though broke out off and the government introduced vaccine mandates. but truckers who served cross border routes understand around 85 percent of truck drivers are vaccinated at the moment when i just intrude, oh, he's insisting that the new legislation is not aimed at restricting the fundamental rights of canadians. for example of freedom of expression and peaceful assembly, we discussed the issue with

a panel of guests. you cannot assert to stand for freedom while you simultaneously or press the freedom of anyone else. and this has been an ongoing issue with justin trio and canada. i mean, ever since he checked, he's been nothing but hypocritical, and the air of hypocrisy has to come to an end. and i'm very proud to say the canadians across the country are not having it. they're going to stand up against this. it's a little bit hypocritical, if you ask me for the media and the trudeau government to act. now as if it's truckers who are causing all of this havoc, you cannot say that the restriction of movement and the destruction of the economy is necessary to protect public health for 2 years. but then all of a sudden when canadians are taking it upon themselves to stand up for their liberties. now it's too far and how dare you interact with people's abilities to live their day to day lives. i don't buy it and i think most of the canadian public doesn't either. well, it's about the same attitude as many people here in europe, even those who are vaccinated. but i'll fed up with the lack of liberty that the political establishment as imposed. busy all the french,

all the germans on every country in europe, the canadian civil liberties association claims justin trudeau has not met the legal bar for declaring an emergency. he has to exhaust all legal options. first on save up, the move is going to harm democracy. could go beyond that, could cause really long term harm here. now adjusted trudeau and acting these emergencies act. i think the government has just gone one step further in saying that i'm, you know, we're sorry, but the civil liberties you thought you enjoyed as canadians are actually only subject to our whims. and i just hope that it doesn't get to a point where things actually do become violent because of the actions of the federal government. because you know these protestors, they do not. they do not want conflict in that way. but when you take away, i guess people's right to peacefully protested when you even threatened to remove their children from them. obviously things are going to rise and as in attentions and escalation, the freedom convoys gone truly global. on monday, as you were talking about, we saw thousands of people to send them brussels from across the you you?

do you think this is making governments thing twice about relentless coven restrictions? or is it making them double clamped down and seeing we've got the power you got to listen to us. people know that understood the lesson. i'm sure of that. you know, in most countries in europe, now, governments try hol, are really ready to stop the measures to take them down. now is the time for parliament everywhere in europe to really look into these restrictions of liberties . and i don't think any government in europe would dare try to go further to the u. k. now, where a 6 year old boy has been branded trans phobic by his school after he expressed confusion over a classmate wearing a dress. his parents are christian couples, have complained about the schools, introduction of new gender neutral rules, or here's our correspondent, shadier. it was actually picking up the story in the age of non binary and gender fluidity. people are embracing,

whoever they want to be. one school in england is taking things very seriously. a 6 year old boys parents who will invest on may be transposing off. he was confused by a boy wearing a dress. parents were granted the right legal challenge against the department for education decision to shut inclusive guidelines to state schools. and we already shocked by the fact that a charger said that that they want to be transitioned from a boy to go by just announcing it in a circle time to children in who are 6 and then it was just endorse next afterwards without any consultation with parents without the proper protocol, children thinking a simple way, i'll see they see how the, how the different genitalia to what boys have katie there is a distinct difference. and that's really the kind of conversation actually, i don't think his parents we should really be needing to have play before 5 picture

or that should just be children. many parents with kids experiencing gender dysphoria, encourage the kids to express themselves, just fine. voices that disagree. these parents also think that they're being discriminated against and say earlier, sued the government of a transgender guidelines given to the school. we are just, we just really hopeful that there will be success in the course. and that the guidelines from the government will be very clear about how they can support these children who genuinely gen 4. yes. and then it will no longer be promoted. yeah, i mean, what we need to remember here is that we submitted a 500 page report. the cool, and this was from the top scientists and the chronologist and psychologist who were giving great warnings. ready of what would happen if we continue to do that sort of thing. and in schools yesterday, i had an email from someone who said that they were a lesbian. so, you know,

can you sort of see everyone come together? the whole l g b t, community sort of say no standing together fighting against people like us. and this lady, i was where he talks, i said, well, shit or i'm listening, but i stand with you and i don't want, i don't want to see it is kind of like you already being pushed on children. but the department of education says in 370 is key. we recognize that issues relating to gender identity can be complex and sensitive schools, a best place to work with parents, pupils and public services to decide what is best for individual children and what is best for all others in the school. this story is part of the water trend, eradicating gender bias in schools with every new academic year. more and more students are asking to be called by a different name or a different pronoun. recently

a training session funded by the national education union advice schools to drop mr . and mrs. i refer to staff agenda neutral times like teacher and well equal opportunities is the message that's been a long way to go. as many say this is going to fall. it was propaganda for transact service and completely against the department of education guidelines, but they were presenting, it is fact. teachers will take what this woman says as fights because the training was organized by the national education union. and they're not going to question the union should kids philosophy who they want to be, or do the parents know what back to them at the end of the day. hello, as the kid now to rushes. coldest region the you could hear. republic. it's where ortiz konstantin, raj, scoffers certainly been putting himself through the test, braving wicked temperatures. now the 2nd part of his report explores the permafrost on troubles on some very icey and ultimately, very dodgy roads to explore the region. there will be 2 further installments,

however, over the next 2 days, 16 o'clock in the morning, minus 40 degrees celsius and mice 40 fahrenheit, and we're sitting out into the frozen wilderness upside beer. luckily, i'm in my new shoes. this is by the way, are transferred for the next 24 hours saw this might look like a regular car, but believe me, this was significantly modified to take on the harsh environment whereabout a meet. we need to cover almost 8000 kilometers from the city of u booth to a tiny village called tom tore. the distance isn't that large by local standards, since we're driving through russia's biggest region. it's the size of an entire country such as india or argentina. in fact, you could fit 5 states the size of taxes, cynthia katia, you can actually get to where we go by playing a summer time. but in the winter they hold ever travel altogether because driving becomes easier and it's also much cheaper. unlike in the summer time when ah, the permafrost thaws rose,

now are dry and firm and the weather like this river that can't be crossed during the summer months now become sturdy ice, you can just drive across. we're actually driving across one of the of rivers right now. we're actually driving on the ice is frozen river is so big and the traffic across it is so heavy. it becomes a full fledged highway with road signs and multiple lanes every winter. on the other side of the river, we encountered a heard of wild horses casually crossing the road, an initial sign that were moving away from civilization. the views were c along the way are breathtaking. yet there is something terribly haunting about this highway which was used to connect gulag prison camps in the soviet union around the 90 thirty's came to be known as the road of bones. prisoners filled the strows and

for the most part it was manual labor is in the morning it will construct seen to read. oh yeah. brand. if you put up a lot of of many died from the debilitating in the summer. they have to look down from the cold in the winter or from hunger, reviving eating market proceeds. prisoners were left to divert side and sound waves in florida, the roads this routine america is both beautiful and treacherous. but most of the time, you're completely alone on the road. there's no mobile reception. and if something happens, how it might never come. in 2020, it was a driver. he died, you run out of fuel and his car broke down. so the road of bones still playing the lives of those who underestimate danger. drivers are always on the alert here, even when they go into roadside diner, they leave their cars running so the engine doesn't freeze and they never miss a gas station even if their fuel tank is far from empty. here if you run out of gas

or your car stalls, it could be a death sentence, but we're, we're going to keep everything we need in a car like water in through tools will close. for example, i have a portable gas burner, just in case my ca stolz. i can set it up and use it as a stove with it. so you need to be prepared for a scenario where you may have to spend 20 for hours in the cold. maybe even more yes, of course. there are some even carries satellite phones when the car we hired for the trip was nothing like it used to be when it came off the assembly line. the owner cover the engine with a warm blanket put an additional heater inside greenforest, every window with an extra layer of glass and sealed them shot. double glass is moved. we put some ceiling being that

a 2nd layer of glass on it to prove to so you can't a brand new hard car driving it in. you could say it won't work if know it won't work. but of course, there is no such thing as 100 percent protection on the road of bones. this mini van, which carries passengers between you can only mac on got a flat tire. their electric pump didn't work in the cold, so the driver was more than happy to use now worse. among the passengers who took advantage of the stop and gazed at the stunning views around us were a couple of international tourists. so my name is braden. i'm from way north minnesota, from the united states, heading out towards the, on the phone. we just actually pulled over the 3rd time popping your tires on the road. a bunker. the unspoken agreement is that if someone else is proud of yourself and help them, it turned out those 2 weren't the only foreigners would made in my neck on which is becoming increasingly popular among adventures. seeking tourists. we like going to places like afghanistan, food on syria, and of course,

coldest inhabited place on the planet. that's right on the list. the last leg of our journey turned out to be the most difficult. it was dark and we hadn't seen a single uncommon car for hours. our driver was edging and stopped to check on the vehicle every time and dumped over a piece of gravel. for there was a knocking sound in the engine. a blast. we've reached the coldest place on earth. look at that food. yeah. last rice for the deep freeze. well, they forget there will be to further installations over the next 2 days. more reports coming from our correspondent, konstantin roscoe, as he braves some of literally the world's toughest and harshest in bar. but well, it's all to international thanks for joining us. back soon with long. oh,

come on is driven by dreamers shaped bankers and those with ah who dares sinks? we dare to ask a lot of his c a u m. o. it's her daughter,

a a with a little to one of them. id my calendar, i'm all she will not to go to. 1 your is your media a reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being

that somewhere? direct? what is true was his faith. in a world corrupted, you need to descend have join us in the depths or remain in the shallows with bowl me in

ah ah. i

mean the same when i go somewhere was back what telephone the civil a trait count this saw oh the more no it i was long. oh i think i think okay, great news there you will
