oh. 1 a russia says u. s. officials have hypnotized themselves into believing their own all sorts over a russian invasion of ukraine that didn't happen. federal prices in britain sort of record high is leaving already struggling. household feeling the squeeze was bankers collect some of the biggest bonuses seen in recent times. the price of everything's gone up. i don't see any light at the end of the tunnel. money's going out a lot quicker than what we used to and the canadian prime minister condemned as a dictator by opposition and peace. the few remained sober, triggering emergency powers to stamp out the truck drivers protest. let's remind the prime minister this is canada. this is not a dictator. it's really about the prime minister, taking a sledgehammer to canadians that he thinks are not acceptable

in that good to abby with global stories and international analysis. this is our team for moscow. i'm calling bright 1st for you, then this hour, the day after wrongly predicting that russia would invade neighboring ukraine. u. s . officials announce, scrambling to cover up for the epic fail, still insisting they've guessed right. even though the hasn't been any military action. if something doesn't come to pass, it doesn't necessarily mean that what we've been warning of is wrong. i don't think you've heard us from any podium. i point to a specific day of an invasion. i think. well, you've heard from us some from some time now. is to make the point that what the russians iteration has put in place or the capabilities that would need to order and attack ad anytime. the russians are not foolish enough to embark on enough peroration that will do them more harm than good. as for the u. s. secret services,

this is the 3rd bluff. the 1st who's with the rack? the 2nd was with a gun. it's done. well, the 3rd is now a rushes ultimately denied any intention to invade ukraine. with the defense ministry releasing video of tanks returning to their bases after concluding military drills. west and politicians are doubling down on their claims though, saying they don't see it withdrawal. and insisting that russia raised on the brink of conducting an invasion. what we're seeing is no meaningful pullback. present tunes put in place the capacity to act on very short notice. he can pull the trigger, he could pull it today. he could pull tomorrow. we could pull it next week. the forces are there. if he wants to renew aggression against ukraine, is obvious that the fly will, of the anti russian hysteria spun in the united states does not allow american colleagues to look at things objectively. self hypnosis about the inevitability of the russian attack persists. journalist martin summers things the media should tread more carefully when reporting on such as sensitive issues. a u. k. media in

particular has a responsibility to be, to be more responsible. they've been very irresponsible. they're reporting on this obviously, you know, rupert murdoch's st titles like the sun and so on. are all well known to be, you know, essentially prosecutors. um, but there's been no discussion of the real politics in the ukraine. are thinking fat on the ground in the ukraine, this quite a lot of ordinary people who are very skeptical where the war is going to happen. it's very much a western media phenomenon. on, of course, is being pushed boy western intelligence services on the far right in the ukraine for many years. but they do not represent the majority of the people in the ukraine or with some fanatic diplomacy taking place. almost every day in recent weeks, artie senior correspondent mirage etc. if next takes a look at the steps that western leaders have taken in regard to the ongoing

ukraine. tensions moscow has been busy, busy, busy these past few weeks, almost every day. at this point, the a president who a prime minister of foreign minister flies into moscow for talks. and the old ones, what's good for them, which is of course only natural. one of them have something to win and something to lose. take the states, american officials hopping back and forth putin's phone calls with biden. this is about more than just rushing in ukraine. smart standing for what we believe in for the future. we want for our world, for liberty, for liberty, the right of countless countries to choose their own destiny and the right of people to determine their own futures. no self respecting american president has ever refused the opportunity to give a pretty little motivational speech,

but biden isn't just in it for the cliches. his presidency is at stake. the highest inflation in 40 years. disaster with a pandemic record, lou approval ratings and midterm elections. this year, a crisis over ukraine is seemingly god sent for him, a chance to distract the masses and a chance for those speeches. great britain has led the crew say, if a hysterical crusade against russia, the british media has been 2nd only to the americans and the number of invasion dates that they have set. and what missed well is it still the case that an invasion could be imminent? and it is highly likely what we are doing is pursuing the passive deterrents. diplomacy neither that many britons like what she had to say. and fact some ended up questioning her competence. she mixed up ukrainian and russian provinces sounded

much like an answering machine with pre prepared comments. i know i was there when i even asked her about britain support for separatists in chechnya and her condemnation of separatists and ukraine. how and so was, i don't want to talk about it. thank you for your visit thorn secretary. understandable? of course, the british prime minister has enough trouble at home. johnson's very rule is being questioned with a new confidence votes in the works. he needs to look strong. emanuel mac rod, frances peacemaker. he came to fix it all and seems to think that he may have succeeded. he may hootin with certainly i beat the muzzle vehicles to day we are. we're both at the seriousness of the situation and of the urgent need and interest of all to find the past to which the preservation of peace and stability in europe . and i deeply believe that there is still time on the historical and strategic

dialogue that we have built together over the last few years can help you and is in this context that we have indeed decided to meet today in moscow. the demo cause he has other motives too. not that he doesn't want piece, but he wants a cherry on top. he hasn't forgot about britain and america backstabbing him over astray, leon submarines. and it's more than that chancellor merkel is gone. frances assumed presidency of the european union. what better time to replace germany as the top dog in europe? will he has to do is show his skills, show that frances, as significant weight on the international stage, showed that the world, even putin listened dame and of course berlin. this was chancellor's shots, his desk, they say a staring match with putin, which of course it wasn't. germans are generally a pragmatic loss. they prefer negotiations rather than speeches in asked with the

diplomatic options are far from exhausted in the task now must be to work resolutely and courageously towards a peaceful resolution for this crisis that we are now hearing, some troops are being withdrawn, as in any case of good size shelters established himself as the new chancellor. he was tough. he was frank and he wants an end to the endless comparisons between him and angular merkel. everything he does as compared to what she would have done, michael leash merkel that he wants out of her shadow. there was more, of course, the brazilian president yesterday, the italian foreign minister to then and more to come, which is now causing anger. and the united states senators are outraged. and people who sparked said and signed this hysteria. but an ever elusive invasion, anal angry that people are trying to stop it here the fundamental reality now every

day you got another global leader to raise the president of brazil yesterday. it was, you know, germany just, every day it's a parade of world leaders flying to moscow is making this guy look for this indispensable global leader that everyone's begging please don't do this. please don't do that if playing right into his hands domestically, in terms of helping him inside a russia the tragedy here ease that the conflict in ukraine, the civil war in which thousands have died and, and more dying is entirely lost. it's lost in the ambitions of world leaders and the hunt for ratings in cliques, by the media and the machinations of thing tags and so called experts who have so far gotten everything wrong. if there is any good that has come out of this, it is that the world has once again reinvented diplomacy. let's hope that it lasts it, not just because all i suppose and threat of a russian invasion,

which i think has been greatly of a blend. but rather because they are biding, the administration is under such enormous pressure. it is losing popularity and it must do some thing to recover a position of credibility before the midterm elections in the united states congress. so to is permitted to johnson in the united kingdom, where he faces impending challenges to his leadership of prison. mac crawl in france faces an upcoming election within a few months. and in germany we see the, the new chancellor really facing a different kind of concerned, a real concern for germany. and that is, that us, russian confrontation could jeopardize the supply of russian natural gas through the north stream to pipeline ukraine's economic situation is such that it

couldn't ever hope to join the european union, which was once thought of as a solution to the ukraine. so problems chaos. what are the headlines? stories and more bad news for british households. federal prices there have sought to record highs on top of already increased living costs, rising energy prices, and some significant cuts to welfare on the way. but while brits are struggling, bankers are celebrating, collecting some of the biggest bonuses seen in over a decade, frustrations growing among the public because because i know that from walking in a school, we are definitely not getting the wage increases that covers the cost of my living potentially have a single parent. i live by myself and it's serving him to do a fair on my daily today lies the price of everything's gone. i don't see any light at the end of the tunnel is it's no wonder

a poll conducted by a burton biggest breakdown organization found. just over 40 percent of motorists are finding other ways to get around without figure helping more than 50 percent. the low income drivers, motors, feel that they're being priced off the roads, so obviously affected me as affected my pockets. i run the business, so it affected me big time because obviously money is going out a lot quicker than what used to when you have income coming in. and then obviously you get to the end of the month and then your budget for petro each be 20. i think it should be, it's already feel quite is that the pump is driven by the wholesale price of energy, which is shut up with many critics pointing to tensions between russia and ukraine . oil and gas supplies from russia to europe, maybe interrupted if sanctions are imposed on russia. if the west is threatened to practice, financial markets could go into free for the oil. price is rising due to tensions

between russia, the world's 3rd biggest oil producer and ukraine, along with oil production, raining out of kilter with demand. as the world emerges from the pandemic, as a result, dr. is in the u. k. could be in for even worse, right? as pump prices look certain to go up even more. this is facing the biggest squeeze on income since the 90 s as in station increase to 5.5 percent 30 year high. but while the majority struggle to make ends meet, bankers are collecting their biggest bonuses is the 2008 financial crash. leaving many ordinary workers frustrated with many thing as a kick in the team. people were getting rewarded fantastic bonuses, except for not doing very much. of course, people partly jealous as well. i me, god bless the bank. good for taking as much as i can out of the system. but from a society viewpoint it's quite clear that we got fall too many people overpaid and not performing that one. i think objects to people that get good salaries that are

actually performing and doing something useful. but it seems to me that look at your bank chapter, i said you cannot in any way justify their pay package, better luck getting the bonuses. but johnson government is probably the most common government we've ever seen. company this country make no mistake about that. so that doesn't help either. if you got governance washed, cut to pay his money on silly schemes, corruption, then you're going to get into trouble anyway. and then put pressure on the bank of england to print the money to pay for it. oh, i just thought just bankers, banking the cash. you can launch a supermarket to sing fits always triple due to sewing costs of crude oil, allowing them to jack up the prices at pumps even more. so fueling the cost of living crisis. well, in parks, fuel shot edwards dusty party london. the canadian prime minister has been condemned, is all for a terry and by opposition and peas,

furious at him, the triggering never before used emergency powers to deal with the ongoing protest by truck drivers against coven vaccine mandate. let's remind the prime minister. this is canada. this is not a gasoline m, things are de escalate in as we speak. so why is the prime minister using this hammer on canadians? isn't it true? he's doing it just to save his own political skin. the threshold was met with the emergency. zach i now across the country releases of jurisdiction have the tools necessary to keep people say he has politicize this pandemic and divided canadians at a time when we should be working together when we should be supporting one another . his lack of leadership has divided stigmatized and traumatized canadians. yes, there have been people who've been harassing and intimidating frontline worker. yes

. there are people involved in frontline, illegal blockades. but the vast majority of canadians continue to stand alongside each other and supported each other. 2 thirds of canadians are united because they want an end to mandates and walk downs and their races massage is a fringe who quote, take up space and he said shouldn't be tolerated it. it's really about the prime minister, taking a sledge hammer to canadians, and he thinks are unacceptable is what's called them so furious. the emergencies act gives the government some tough powers for about a month, including the authority to freeze bank accounts, is designed to only be invoked if there's a national crisis, not against peaceful demonstrations. the sort of so called freedom convoy has mostly been just that although prime minister trudeau and his government insist that they are causing damaging disruption to the economy. on top of that, canadian police have started handing out leaflets to protest in downtown all to up ordering them to disperse. the notice says that any one obstructing the street is

committing a criminal offense. a may could be arrested and charged. a protest in the capital say they all determined to stay in their furious with that government response. we are here in peaceful, lawful protest seeking the restoration of our fundamental rights and freedoms. all canadians should be surprised no matter your political opinions, that the federal government has resorted to such an extreme and authoritarian measure like the emergencies act. the drivers here are very determined. i mean, many of them have already lost their jobs. their, their businesses are struggling and they're prepared to, to stand here until the end. they call us that were destructive and a threat to society. but you know, it's not us walking around. we're not the one throwing stuff. the tires were not the ones i heard people's lives were another ones making

a mess of people's lives. we gotta fix, you know, we get some changes. do we get the freedom back? the protest ruptured last month when truck drivers became enraged to be enforced to take coven jobs. despite working in a mostly solitary environment, the movement lay to those snowballed into broader anti government unrest. south of the border, there's plenty of support for the canadian truck as american activists forms our own convoys traveling to the peace bridge international crossing in new york state and several fundraising websites have been set up for freedom convoys in both the united states and canada. co founder of the convoy to save america says the canadian protests of inspired people to fight for their personal freedoms. 6 candidate is now the leader of the free world. kidding aside. it struck a lot of people because the world look at this part of the world. they look to the western world here to see what news they've done. and it inspired so many people back. it's a lot more than that. the mandate, it's about all the mandate. it's about the lock down. it's about the masking or

children. it's about the overreach and be very, very stringent government. the people who do the deliveries, the people who have dirty things, nails of the people that have been ignored by all governments for 2 year. they were the people that didn't matter. and these are the people who do matter, the blue collar, working class, the 1st responders, the nurses, the paramedics, better people who do matter, they teachers, teachers to, we matter. so what's happening here is the global effort to fight for freedom. the us can make remington arms as agreed to pay $73000000.00 compensation to the families of 9 people killed in the sandy hook elementary school massacre or the 1st time that a firearms make is agreed to a settlement for a mass shooting in the u. s. 20 children and 6 adults were killed in the tragedy.

nearly a decade ago, of families, of the victims argued that the gun used in the killing had been irresponsibly marketed by the manufacturer. lawyers argued that sales of the a r 15 rifle were aggressively advertised through product placement in violent video games. the company earlier denied the allegations, but found these are the victims, say weapons makers need to be held responsible for their actions. today is a day of accountability for an industry that has far enjoyed operating with immunity and impunity. my hope for this lawsuit that by facing and finally being penalized for the impact of their work gown. companies long with insurance and banking industries that enable them will be forced to make the practices safer than they've ever been which will save lives and stop more shootings. president biden welcomed the settlement, calling it historic, and the sandy hook family's law suits, had been fiercely resisted by gun lobby in groups including the influential national rifle association, which called it company, killing. daniel hawkins, discuss it all with conservative radio host,

dave perkins and the former head of the u. k. counter terrorism, security office, chris minutes. i don't believe the a r 15 is responsible for large numbers of deaths any more than the cricket bat is responsible, and we should therefore band cricket or the automobile is responsible for thousands of deaths in america every year. so we ought to find some other way to get around. you have to remember the person using it is the criminal, not the person making it? do you see this opening up the floodgates and encouraging a barrows of legal actions against gonna make is through victims of other master things. this is an attempt by the progressive gun anti gun movement to slide into the business of getting rid of hand guns by going after the one people like the least 1st, even though that particular gun the i are 15 and it's, and it's familiars is responsible for so few deaths that it's almost not fair to go after it 1st. i think it proved impossible. it completely impossible to stop these

these forums tax in schools and others, and that's from guns and through legislation. i think this is just another way of them trying to do that and i think is the jump of that. so you're right, i think is a means of moving forwards from the horrible guns the most horrible guns. right? due to the guns actually did the damage, does this go beyond just gun legislation, which gun kills more people who has access to what but part of the, the gun culture and video game culture. how much of a role does that play? i think it's a different industry run by a different group of people and who do have a very large responsibility in terms of how they have bias. the young minds are growing minds of the young men towards this incredible desire to shoot and kill if we got a lot of people across the world actually who have got some kind of mental issue. and if we allow them to have guns, machine guns, then, then there are going to be killings. if you want to stop these things happening,

you're not going to be able to band games and things on the internet. but there is, i mean, i think of, of banning the most lethal of these forums and other cnn executives resigned to mid several allegations of ethics violations. chief marketing officer alison gall us is out of the news network just weeks after the resignation of its president jeff zucker, and with cnn's ratings on the slide. 2 more on that next from donald quarter. cnn's long been at the vanguard of american media when it comes to covering women's rights the me to movement, and the sins of powerful men who think they can get whatever they want. harvey weinstein was the 1st domino. and what we now know as the global me to movement in it speaks to the voices, these voices that were silenced. for decades, he would pray unties young men in their early twenties. it's so upsetting, just even here as settlement is not an admission of guilt, but people wonder if you didn't do it, why pay?

and yet another cnn bigwig has fallen from grace the companies. now former chief marketing officer, allison go list by likely among the reasons is in only recently disclosed and more than friendly relationship with the channels. former president, jeff zocker. on top of that, it seems she was behaving in a less than ethical manner at work. on interviews of more than 40 individuals and a review of over 100000 texts and e mails. the investigation found violations of company policies, including cnn, new standards and practices. zocker himself resigned just 2 weeks ago for not spilling the beans on his conflict of love interest. i was asked about a consensual relationship with my closest collie. someone i have worked with for more than 20 years. i acknowledged the relationship evolved in recent years. a bit hypocritical, maybe to be fair, the relationship between sucker and gall loose was consensual. but cnn does recently seem to have a problem with varying degrees of sexual misconduct. the only reason the last who

were outed was because the company found out about them while investigating its former anchor chris cuomo. he was fired back in december for trying to cover up sexual misconduct of his brother, former new york governor andrew cuomo. on top of that, another cnn producer was fired at around the same time after he was charged with trying to molest children. that would be bad news for any news channel, especially one that likes to take the moral hi ground. yeah, that is really a lot of dirty, nasty things are coming like what would happen find the cnn, their reputation of a tank for a while because they're a wonderful punching bag. they are so biased and so they screw up constantly. you have to filter all this to the context of the lord is going on right now between a former anchor chris cuomo and the parent company, cnn. and a team here which owns it's always hypocritical, and the left does this all the time. and it will show, you know, they like the brand themselves is

a party of women's rights in the already of me to and trying to sniff out sex past and abusive men and things like that. when 9 times out of 10, if they're a men doing it all, they're really nasty things that go on behind the scenes of cable news. you're seeing how kind of disgusting a lot of the personalities are. you also seeing how they are with one another and how they treat one another. you have a work environment that people are upset with the higher ups for turning a blind i'm certain behavior or getting away with certain behavior that's certainly going to affect the, your product back. the news, if you have disgruntled employees who don't leave, leave what they're doing and think that they're working for a bunch of hypocrites. then they're not going to be putting their all into their work. it's just going to be low morale is, is, anyone can probably test who's worked in various places to be a high morale. you're going to be doing anything better products you bring to doing your job. all this contributes to having a lower morale. sienna ok, well, reporting on the news instead of being the news, checkout
