several times that all americans in ukraine leave now, before it's too late to leave safely. the president of the united states, warning americans to get out of ukraine. now. now they did the same day, they decided to move the cia station in embassy farther from the russian border. but in doing so, they've had to destroy documents and computers. no, there's nothing suspicious about that one organ asked our expert about why did you ever felt this actually was necessary and the significance of what was destroyed and freezing the bank accounts of citizens who post as your roles? that sounds like something a dictator. a do not the head of a parliamentary democracy yet, that is exactly what canadian prime minister justin trudeau is doing to those involved in a freedom convoy. meanwhile, the ottawa police chief has resigned after protest, entered into his 3rd week. we're going to bring you the latest as to ago about the emergency act, which some say is very hypocritical,

considering his past support of a social movement at home and around the world. and it looks like the u. s. as hit guacamole, at least in regards to the trade of alex autos as imports of the popular fruit from mexico have been extended. we're going to tell you why and if this is a fruit in the us will always keep force to import. i'm scale here in these stories are on this edition of news use use. let's get started with this was supposed to be a day of invasion. well, that was at least according to us intelligence. but if you have been watching this show over the last few weeks, you would know none of the normal signs were present, which would actually validate this accusation by the us. so let's go over a few nato troops were not mobilized,

actually reinforced ukrainians with the u. s only cindy, a minor fraction of u. s. troops, but only to you, i. space is all outside of ukraine itself. now in person diplomatic meetings between e, you and russia, leaders have continued including the german chancellor in moscow on the same day as this invasion was supposed to occur. and no countries actually told their citizens to leave ukraine. well, that is, except for the u. s. in the u. k. and no one including the united states, actually close their embassy in moscow. and when i, when i was telling, i think was ukrainian president who continued public comments. asking the wes please toll down your rhetoric. and instead of warning his own citizens to prepare for this invasion at the time, an exact date that us intelligence leaked, it was going to happen. he told them to enjoy a day of unity. in fact, the country taking the most aggressive steps regarding this invasion was the united states. and as the tradition has gone with this administration,

those were mainly in the use of words, a warning of attack threats, a very harsh sanctions, and the promise of more us taxpayer dollars in aid. but even as a russia confirmed troops were being moved, following their completion of the exercises, western media and the president still continue to push this fear of an eminent invasion saying troops are just being shifted and the aren't knighted states is still so competent, an invasion is coming, they have moved the american embassy from its original site in care to live over a city in western ukraine. but this is no small move as amongst many issues moving it embassy can create, do u. s. is admitting to actually destroying sensitive documents and equipment, which is a big red flag. so why did they have to destroy any computers or documents? well, as ask our expert jimmy to more off and chatter of reaction,

my magazine author, the book, the russians are coming again before we get to the destroy documents. so in the sense of equipment that was, it was destroyed. i want to ask you to see that there is a star difference between the 2 side and is the west taking a more aggressive stance than even ukraine? absolutely, a very bizarre, a situation that you have the country that's about to be envision it. we're not going to be invaded and his outside for us keeps saying are going to be the asians and you know, i think it's just kind of there are 2 current hawks in the u. s. government who think your war is again and, you know, there are countries that have to bear the brunt of it or not so quick to get involved. these wars are going to do everything to prevent them because they understand how terrible work. and d and ukraine would be devastated by war. they've already suffered the people in eastern ukraine of, for, and you kremser descends and soldiers in houston, ukraine,

lot of them have had a seen and done terrible things. so i mean, they understand their government and people understand they're going to do everything to prevent the war. the united states has an experience wars really, since world war 2 or nothing on soil since the civil war. so i think they're, you know, they still think it's a game and it's very real for the people of ukraine. it's very willing if they're continuing their daily lives, at least they're trying to, even though supposedly not to 3 weeks, 4 weeks of this. busy economically, they've been shut down, not because of the actions of the russians because of the actions of the west and the fear that's been able to be conjured up. hence where i think the president of ukraine has been saying, please. tony downforce on behalf of my people, but now we gotta talk about the u. s. reaction. and what do you i said to him because ukraine is actually sent over. oh, so they, they've also sent over this for page document. it says items they are requesting from nato that they want help in this emergency situation. this came out today. and some of these items actually include underwater, metal detectors,

10000 pairs of latex, glove, gas mask, and filters, diving white suits, and field camp equipment that can accommodate 253 people. listen, i read over this list and let me take it. it's quite thick, but it's specifically like you would get, you know, ada dick's sporting goods. you go to a sporting goods shop and try to get a little bit more space equipment, but nothing that specifically says we need help an attack. it's more about if we are attacked or if we want to go camping on some of these items. what do you make about this idea that you crank, you might say was this is to justify the billions of dollars that is possibly already been spent in the united states is going to give in aid? i think so. yeah, i mean ukraine has also been provoking russia for years now, and they've cario numerous violation of immense reports and they've gotten millions of dollars. i think in january the u. s. at 90 tons of military aid, something like $650000000.00 in military equipment in the last year of lead.

i mean, they're also flying up and you know that government, i think people, i mean ukraine is listed as one of the most corrupt governments in the world. and zalinski came in as a reformer, but i don't think they've actually seen much great reform since he's come in. so, i mean, there are political reasons, the ukrainian government may be playing this up as well and milking, do us roles work for me. and that's, i think you've got guys, vantages and, and different sizes. i mean, these are not things. this is just like i almost a registry of items that every country should have in their stockpiles. and yet, here the united states was given this list and said he had to fort nato, fill up our list, and make sure that you mark off which country buys what. but i will say that the united states does not have this and try a good track record in regards to protecting the embassies. you know, i think of the death of him besser, stevens and 3 others and been gauzy. this is a lot of president obama and the chaos. think of bull, including the evacuation of the u. s. embassy already under president biden.

earlier in his term. those were both in hot zones as compared to ken currently. however, do you think that past is what the u. s. is going off of embracing this move? probably, i mean, they weren't, you know, maybe damage control, but i think, yeah, there is a larger issue that the united states often doesn't protect its own personnel very well. i mean, they're, they're brother, interest to play when they become involved in these countries. and they don't always do what it's necessary to protect their own people or their own allies, like we've seen in afghanistan and other military interventions like vietnam war. busy so i think they obviously don't repeat the p r disaster, ben gas, if a war would break out. so they've taken that step and maybe is also part of this feeder, pretending that this invasion might take place, so they can keep these military shipments going forward. but, but it also comes to bagged questions. a lot of questions are being raised, but actually moving the embassy instead of just saying, hey, we're gonna take

a temporary leave and go to other countries like they're doing with their own troops. u. s. government actually said that documents were destroyed, including green card, the non process pat, a passport document. however, they said there was other sensitive documents, equipment, but they weren't gonna release what they were at. you've been involved in some security behind the scenes. what kind of equipment had to be destroyed rather than just loaded up on the u. haul and move farther way. what kind of equipment has to be absolutely beyond and not noted to the american public were eliminated and did that raise a red flag with you? yeah, i think it raises a major red flag there, protecting a covert operation. you know that this has been a covert and misinformation operation from the beginning going for years now. and i think for year they've been provoking russia and all kinds of underhanded things within russia. with an eastern ukraine, and i think now the time to cover this up and perhaps they've been trying to

provoke and set up russia to invade for years now. and if it does happen, they have to hide what on. and they could also be computer equipment and this and material that would would give away those secrets well and sorry, i was suspicious, but we just came out, you know, 4 years later finding out that the hillary clinton kept did spy on the trump campaign. so we know and intelligence just releasing that, and we know that there's lots of tie from both parties over and ukraine. i just have to wonder why could they just not loaded up and move it. and that's remember we had 30000 emails destroyed on secret server with hillary clinton. can't find those. those have been very damaging if we knew lots of questions. and unfortunately, once they're destroyed, they're gone. thank you so much though for coming with us and, and answer some of our questions right now. thank you. is the canadian prime minister supporting peaceful protest everywhere else, but the ones at home just entered ro, invoked emergency power for the 1st time on response. the ongoing freedom convoy

protest and the move which is allowed for individual bank accounts, re suspended, and general funding for the group to be cut off. i'll focus more power to provincial and local law enforcement to work with the federal police. and for the past 2 weeks, protesters and trucks and other vehicles have parked in the streets of candace capital rallying against vaccine mandates and other covert measures by dives government. but troy dell has held nothing back and bashing the truckers. 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 at the borders in different parts of the country. the blockades are harming our economy and endangering public safety. but on the other hand, the prime minister supported a farmer protest in india and 2020, even though the so called anti farm law protest was an internal affair and caused

economic harm to the country of india. the situation is concerned and we're all very worried about family and friends. i know that's the reality for many of you. let me remind you, canada will always be there to defend the right peaceful protest we believe in the importance of dialogue. and that's why we've reached out to multiple means directly to the indian authorities to highlight our concerns. so which one is it? does the canadian government support, peaceful protest or not? what discussed this, who bring in? i said, hey, i've spent nearly then a ground in auto. austin, thanks for joining me on this. thanks for i'm here. okay, so the canadian prime minister, he's going to play emergency power to disperse. what's left of the frame convoy rally, which has somewhat reduced over the last 3 weeks. that includes freezing personal accounts, easy vehicles, while already cracking down on the money support have set their charity sites. what

is it like on the ground amongst these truckers right now? well it was somebody really didn't need those charity sites with gifts and go and go find me all that the government has seized and frozen and refunded over $20000000.00. that would have gone to this convoy all that being said, it's kind of a misnomer that the convoy is decreasing in size. yes. decreases from saturday and sunday to monday, every weekend a gross. because the longer there, there, the more people, the more canadians, more americans from all over canada, north america, they come up to this convoy. and they realize that longer than they are, the more that they really are there to stay more so than really, i mean, i think a lot of us have ever seen before when it comes to protests. so every time that more people come, they're just giving money, they're giving gas cards, they're giving us food hand warmers to all these truckers and they can actually subsist, or a very long time on that. all in the apartment,

insurers said that these are not peaceful protests and they're actually causing destruction. his wife evokes emergency powers. what are you seeing on the ground? are you seeing destruction? are you seeing these fight? that is saying is breaking out. are you seeing the looting and the crime happening that the prime minister is using to justify his actions? yeah, the rhetoric coming out of trudeau has been insane. compared to on the ground these truckers have been the nicest people i've ever met and for lack of a better term base really do live up to their stereotype of being the nicest people on earth. they're just hi, how you doing? was perfectly willing to lend an ear, they just want to get the true story out there. which of i can address one thing to there was to talk to the nazis and confederates here. there was a nazi flag. and guess what? the convoy that surrounded him, walked him to the police and said, we don't want to hear this is not for us. and yes, still a get painted as nazis which is interesting because they were that knows about the history of the nazis. words exactly as about a government putting in mandates on the people which is exactly what these truckers are protesting. so it's an oxymoron. anyway,

that tries to put that type of label on them, but then you look at just insured out when it talk about the freedom convoy in this different light. however, the past who is supporting other foreign protest, do you think it's because it's, it's hitting home that he calls this freedom convoy and a legal protest? yeah, he's called it anything but a for jim conway. you know, i mean, he said that it's illegal black caves, he says that these are symbols of hatred and division in tolerance. and hey, just all these things. he won't even address them. and this goes back to the b o m process and him being fully supportive of them. and then also in india that you alluded to before. it's interesting. he says that we will always have generic. we will always have engaging conversations. he hasn't even engaged in these conversations once the majority of truckers are just asking for a willingness to talk which he has not even been giving them that luxury well and that's it. that's all that one of the very beginning, just have a conversation with us and yet all he's done is gone on air and basically mock them . but that's never productive when any later does that. but there have been some

victories for the convoy over the last 3 weeks regarding mandate appendix related to capacity limits in several provinces with ontario being the latest. does this give the truckers hope to continue on those called 9th especially yeah, i'm from talking with them and they are just they sparkle when they hear like, oh ma'am it happened in france. oh, but it's not as effective because they're not as organized. it happened in australia which was a hot bed of vaccine mandates and, and ready to implode on themselves. it's going to happen in the us pretty soon. and even with getting rid of all these restrictions in the provinces and then even in federal canada, which they are planning on taking away their negative colored results to enter the country. they see these as little winds, but they're like this is pebbles to the actual storm that they're trying to get going because they are here. they're here to stay and everyone has said it has to be full mandate dropping before they leave. well, and unfortunate at this point, it's in desert,

the progress or zakiria include that he's going to meet with them directly and said at these other mayors and other representatives, they're saying we at least want to hear them out, which is always helpful. awesome, thank you. so much for joining us as stay warm up there in canada. thank you very much. around the united states is stuck between a guam and a hard place as the popular fruit is about to be rare to find. unless a deal is made between mexico and california farmers. whenever you the details. with for months, the u. s. in the u. k. of warned russia may invade ukraine, and yet there has been no invasion for their part. the russians submitted abundantly clear. europe's current security arrangement is untenable. they will, saxon power for russia,

talks about security. 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 fun, holden, devices like electric cars, mobile phones and computers. 60 percent of the world's cobalt reserves are in congo . but 20 percent of it comes from small scale mines. unicef figures confirm that in 2017 golden 40000 children, worked in cobalt mining in the republic to earn a living and paying for schooling. next time you use a fancy gadget like a smartphone camera laptop, and just remember that there's a chance it works. thanks to what child, how'd labor children like john michel henrietta. oh countless others like them. ah,

for as you may have noticed by now, when a dining out there always seems to be an additional cost to add of a condo to your dish. and some would argue the taste is so good. it's worth every penny. and lately prices for the green fruit are soaring in a grocery stores nationwide. but now as our to correspond, it, natasha sweet, explains a recent issue may cause aba condos, to be harder to come by. here in the united states, a vast quantity of avocado here in the u. s. are from mexico. did you know they were all coming from one state michoacan, but now after the u. s. department of agriculture reported a verbal threats. importation of the green fruit has been halted. the u. sta has yet to publicly announce details surrounding the verbal threat they received friday . while some speculate it could have been from a mexican drug cartel or other local community groups. mexican president andre manual lopez orbit or questions. if the move was political. i me,

and the images and all this, there are also a lot of political interest and there is competition when they don't want mexican avocados to get in the united states, right? because it wouldn't rule in the united states because of its quality. there are other countries interested in selling avocados, woke up and now abruptly stopping the importation of avocado from mexico is having serious effects on california farmers and central valley. the breadbasket of the nation has already been struggling to produce needed crops with past drought conditions and the high cost for water. and it takes, on average, more than 250 gallons of water to produce just one pound of avocados. as it stands right now, the golden state only produced is roughly 10 percent of the nation's avocados, and local growers say this move could cause prices for the green fruit to rise even higher. according to the u. sta, mexico exports about 80 percent of its supply to the us even on super bowl sunday. the governor of mutual con, tweeted that regardless of which team one that mitchell con is the true winner of the night. for the month of february alone,

avocado sales were expected to be $350000000.00. but now that could all change the state full of rich soil and sunshine has been exported. f a caught us to the u. s. for the past 25 years. with only 3000 avocado farms from california central coast to san diego, some farmers stay there is simply no way to make up for the foreign avocados locally. now, this isn't the 1st time the u. s. has halted mexico from export in their avocados to the us back in 2020, there was a month pause after an armed group burned a set of shipments, reporting for news use hughes and has a sweet r t. okay, let's ask one who knows about this, and i'm not just saying this because of his love for guacamole brock, lori financial expert or me, brock and he, you also author this atheism destroy. thank you. thank you so much for having this guy. this is. yeah, it's a, it's not my love particularly but my son and this, this is going to cause and to it. depression tailspin because he subsists on

ricardo every single day. so look as if the supply chain problem wasn't already much of a problem. right, scotty, this is, this is a real issue. these will have massive problems for the economy. and particularly for the farmers and the truckers and those who pick they clean the car of course and those who bring it to market. and of course their families on both sides of the border. so it's a big issue. the response to it. like i understand, we want to penalize anybody who makes threats like that. i do get that, but the question is how do you respond to it? this is a ridiculous approach, it's like closing down a freeway because someone was caught speeding. right. so that's not, that's not the way we go about doing this. and i think this is really a challenge. the way to deal with it is to actually punish those who have threatened the car to growers or whatever my big that's the way to do it, not to not to stop the sales of the cause and effect. all those innocent people. that's just not what we do well and they say this is under the premise of security

. but let me talk about all of the things that cause danger to human lives, on both side of the border there for some reason for decades. now we've not been able to stop, so it's amazing that we can stop all because we can't stop fat. no, i think that's an issue right now. that's why a difference in it. and so when you talk about the economic effects, this is going to have a short term to send, the prices will not matter. but if this last in the long term, will this affect the other thing besides just the price of it because of the grocery store for your son? that's true. well, i, i, because are very instrumental as so many the food supplies that we have. and you know, i'm not just mexican food. when you think about all the condos it's, it's actually a staple for so many different people. and it's used as a substitute for butter and many other things as well. so we'll have a big ripple effect. i think a bit is the gasoline food in the same way that we need gasoline to transport goods here and there we, we need because in a way that it's very instrumental or all sorts of food supply. so yes,

it's going to be a very damaging thing in the short run and probably in the long run, if they don't do something about it. now that's, that's a real issue. it's just basic supply demand and you cut off the spigot prices increase. ok, so could this carry over into other obviously, because about the only thing that we take from mexico and this also affect our trade with other south american countries who the united states just can't actually raise the food because we don't have the climate or more importantly, the dedication to the fruit and vegetable that can only grow in those areas in those regions. right, well, there's only a couple of ways to respond to this. one of them is to seek out some other source and allow that to be shipped in, but then you would probably still have to go through mexico one way or the other maybe perhaps through that state. so it's a challenge if they want to do it this way, i do not understand why they do not simply attack this problem, this threat, which was the cause and the catalyst for this temporary freeze. i don't know why they simply don't simply attack the source and sanction that particular group or

that has been the threat. we haven't seen what the specific threat are, but to the extent that it is a threat to deal with the threats that don't punish everyone else. is this a federal issue, or is this really just dealing with the farmers of california and those that are local in mexico, or is this something that should be on a federal scale that actually here in washington d. c. should get involved with diplomatically? well, it is a federal issue. whenever talking about trade with a separate country, it is federal. there are a certain state deals that 2 across the board. of course, it's no issue there, but this is a federal trade issue. the state, meaning the united states should be involved in this and do something about this diplomacy. sure, but i, i think it's, it's kind of an easy answer here is to deal with the threat directly as opposed to punishing everyone else. do you have the, does this remind you of any other issues that can arise with other, other things that we import in? and is this something that would actually be qualified if we were actually able to

raise and grow all the kind of in the united states? would we be caring about this, this point? well, that's a great question. certainly, if we were able to support ourselves altogether, which we would not be carrying as much about it, but you know, there's competitive scales, right. certain countries are able to do things better because we're tropics. like you mentioned scotty as opposed to our country, we don't have the same kind of environment and tropic tropical weather and in order to justify growing up to cut us. so i don't know. certainly if we were able to be of a cato independent and believe me, that's what my son would like us to be. then that would be a very different story. but look what's happening with the oil production. we were oil independent and we decided to see the 30 there as well. so look at either we deal with this now and diplomatically or otherwise, or we were caea re stupid, uncomfortable and sad people here in the united states. thanks for joining me. brock and that's all the time that we have today shall. thanks. so i think

i owe these people learn from their own experience. how vulnerable of business is to the bank. so he pushed my business over the age, pushes me right to the edge, bankruptcy. now i realize we will good. this isn't just the back to says it may be involved in this is the concept. see, firms is, is the lawyers, these people have got you want on their stories? ottawa can whistleblower tell people's marriages have broken up and lost their family homes. it is spectacularly devastating for people's lives. we have committed suicide, but left behind north, the explicitly state that it was the constant intimidation and billing by bank

officers. that late done too, i took the spear, it's obscene, these people up nor saw for months, the u. s. and the u. k. of warren, that russia may invade ukraine, and yet there has been no invasion. for their part. the russian submitted abundantly clear. europe's current security arrangement is untenable. bank saxon powers, talk of war. russia talks about secured it's been 30 years as the soviet union collapsed in miss couple other literature. well, the one to what the problem yet nuclear you talk so. so shown where you also trust someone, all of them ukraine was one of the independent states that emerge from the ruins of the super bow. i'm doing awesome. good. would you also get on google greens? come on board. surely. confusion from us. they act and less new lease in west new

dear, better one more law, a surface political bring and finish with water. the past 3 decades, green light for ukraine. eye witnesses recall the events. this will be more or less so do tissue affinity tissue, chipotle. what i knew about it, it's, i'm not sure, but it didn't budge for months with no idea what else and what other forces were at play. you have to do so to whom you show engine mushy in you put in the kid water records when it shows up in the most low version. jordan is take a look at ukraine, 30 years out the gaining independence. going to remove your phone with us for dinner unless you mean yet or get it live, but a will. it could be issue. lush will still holding still problem

a top headlines right now here. one off the international, the war that never was the wasted media is left with egg on its face. softer a flowery of prediction is that there would be an innovation of ukraine today. instead of russian troops returning to base off their wrapping up drills along the border. but some columns seem to stop banging the drums of war. the u. s. president for one who's insisting that the threat of an attack remained very real. and with uncertainty over ukraine, pushing off energy prices, germans farrah shortage, and electricity supplies could lead to nationwide blackouts. here at r t, we hear that concerns with our politicians continue to act like they do in their foreign policy with russia and other countries that blackouts may happen. the problem is politicians are afraid of not being elected if they.
