ah no. 1 you're a headlines, this are the west change. it is predicted date if a russian invasion, if you cry enough to february the 16th files to materialize, but moscow in 5th, it has no such intentions. and the keys is western leaders. steering up, panic, deflect, narrow domestic trouble. let sure look as to whether the escalation will end on february, the 20th. i don't know because we are not the ones who are escalating. we're not doing this for 30. can pet full price is in britain thought. record highs leaving already struggling. household feeling squeeze is bank is collect some of the biggest bang this is seen in recent times. the price of everything's gone. i don't see any like that end of the tunnel. one is going out

a lot quicker than what it used on the canadian prime minister is condemned as a dictator by opposition and pays his fury. maps, over triggering emergency powers to stand by the truck drivers cried. 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 with either. well, can you without international thursday afternoon? she's gone 2 o'clock here in the russian capital. now top story, the sa, moscow's top diplomat, has smoked american metes predictions of when russia could invade neighboring ukraine is a major news outlet changes the date to later this week just after the olympics. after yesterday's bet, failed to materialize. let's shoot the rules as to whether the escalation will end

on february. the 20th, i don't know because we are not the ones who are escalating. we're not doing this politico. a well known news outlet reporting about what is happening on the russian ukrainian border, citing some supposedly reliable sources said that what did not take place yesterday will begin on february the 20th. there will be an invasion. ok, let's discuss this further now with saskia. taylor jones means judy and he's been following developments on this story. task is still no invasion. this theory continues with the date of the 16th that night passed and i were presented with a new date by selling some elements of the west. the media of the 20th of february, i'm just from 3 what's getting off? why me talk about changing goal post? i mean we've had 15. the fabric has come and gone. no invasion. the 16th of february has come and gone. also no invasion. so what did the western political

establishment and mainstream media do on this thursday, the 17th admit that the intelligence isn't was the paper, it's written on? no, of course not. they've taught backpedaling. 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 what you've heard from us from some time now is to make the point that what the russian federation has put in place or the capabilities that would need to order an attack at any time. well, net price might be unwilling to give specific dates, but that hasn't stopped others from placing new but apparently the 20th is now the day that we should all set our alarm clock for new attack. that is the day that the 20 by the russian russian drills. and so basically it's if they do as planned on home, then quite on the western front, if not, as we suspect,

then it's we told you. so russia is an aggressive one, always farcical explanation given to this constant postponement of the imminent rush invasion is the president putin plots of whooping foiled. and he's very angry . and he refuses to walk according to the west and schedule over, mind you. but this is all after the russian defense ministry came out and said that a considerable chunk of those forces that was very near the border with ukraine or returning home. and then even published, accompanying footage, showing tank, saw infantry fighting vehicles on all tender units loaded up and trains on returning home. but apparently for many in the west, that's just not good enough. well we haven't seen is evidence of withdrawal that has been claimed by the criminal and in fact we've seen continued build off of things like field hospitals. what we're seeing is no meaningful pullback. present pollutants 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. he could pull it next week. the forces are there if he wants to renew aggression against ukraine. so it's pretty clear that despite hard evidence does absolutely, the dispassionate is not good enough on top of that world for hearing from a clearly a very reliable on named senior official in washington. the actually, the pregnant is fortifying its forces. apparently that sent around $7000.00 troops in the last 24 to 48 hours. the field hospitals are being built in short as blank and suggested moscow is still ready to pounce at any moment despite evidence of the country. and when you hear this, despite all of course, the west, previous bats and intelligence needs us to believe having proved to be really epic fails, read the sense that these people have become almost hostage to the history that they have created themselves. and now will say anything just so as not to lose faith as moscow point out. if it seems that these walks are found themselves kind

of in a catch $22.00, it 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. well, there are a few low voices in europe who seem to have cat a cool head. amidst this hysteria, the check president made a very interesting observation of all its cries, big nation of diplomacy and of having to bullet proof superior intelligence. all one needs to do is look at the u. s. track record, and it really doesn't inspire much confidence. the russians are not foolish enough to embark on an operation that will do them more harm than good. as for the u. s. secret services, this is their 3rd bluff. the 1st was with a rack. the 2nd was with afghan, a stand. well, the 3rd is now makes you wonder though, doesn't it? you say they're in a catch 22 because they give a date and then that date passes has be no invasion. but boy continue giving dates

. well, very, very talent comment came from the former us ambassador to germany. that's richard grinnell. now to put it very politely i, he has proved himself time and time again. not to be a fan of rushes, but what he did say, and this is coming from someone on the inside who knows how the political in each thinks and acts. he accused washington of being alarmist and stated that the lou folk rhetoric coming from the white house of isn't verifiable and intelligence. so again, this has to push you to the question, if the attendance isn't that i, they know that russia is not planning any attack than why they are contributing to this hurricane of hysteria. like you say, well, perhaps we can get a clue from these was of the nato chief with russian arrow as important. moscow has made it clear that it is prepared to contest the fundamental principles that are underpinned our security for decades. and to do so by using force, i regret to say that this is the new normal in europe. therefore,

today, ministers decided to develop options for further strengthen naples to turn on the fence. including to consider establishing new natal buffy groups in central and eastern and se on europe. a very interesting phrase that the new normal. so nato is now as we had stolen back saying, touring up plans for new combat units. and it will both threats to french defenses in countries very close to russia. so this is a bold russian invasion in short, has provided ready to pass the excuse for the greater militarization of europe and for nature really to creep at the closer to russian borders. and in this situation, i will always remember the was of the us know may call a few years ago, he said, we need to tighten a democratic noose around, rush his neck, and fly, the nato flag high above it. clearly this is the, the goal here at the same time we're seeing president bite and seeking over

$770000000000.00 for the next 2 years. defense budget, which by the way is around 8 times more than rushes. so water continues to insist it seeks a diplomatic way out of this, that it welcomes engagement with nato and its allies. it's very an onset to balance . so to the security proposals, the military alliance, nato, that claims to be defensive is expanding as part of this new normal. it all kind of worked out very nicely. and of course, washington continuing to splash the cache that can buy even more weapon, apparently defensively. but actually as not more gods to have looked into despite all, what you could see is woman growing rhetoric and seems that diplomacy is not quite that yet. moscow has been busy, busy, busy these past few weeks, almost every day. at this point, the a president who a prime minister was foreign minister flies into moscow for talks. and they all want 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, hoping back and forth. putin's phone calls with biden. this is about more than just rush, an 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 up pretty little motivational speech, but biden isn't just in it for the cliches. his presidency is at stake. the highest inflation and 40 years disaster. with the 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 this 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 were missed on his and still the case that an invasion could be imminent. and it is highly likely what we are doing is pursuing the path of deterrence. diplomacy neither did many britain's 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 and i even asked her about britain support for separate has said chechnya and her condemnation of separatist and ukraine. how and that was,

i don't want to talk about it. thank you for your visit thorn secretary. the stable, 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 and manual macro, frances peacemaker. he came to fix it all and seems to think that he may have succeeded. he may, putin was certainly ab wheat. so muzzled equals to day. we are where both the services of the situation and of the urgent need in the 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 the historical and strategic dialogue that we have built together over the last few years can help. and is in this context that we have indeed decided to meet today in moscow. cause he has other motives too. not that he doesn't want peace, 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? yes, the do is show his skills show that france is a significant weight on the international stage show that the world, even putin listened dame and of course berlin. this was chancellor's shots as tests they say a staring match with putin, which of course it wasn't germans a generally a pragmatic loss. they prefer negotiations rather than speeches in austin, the diplomatic options are far from exhausted. but 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,

a good sign. charles has established himself was the new chancellor. he was tough, he was frank, and he wants an end to the endless comparisons between him and the angular merkel than he does as compared to what she would have done. michael lish merkel that he wants out of her shadow. that was more, of course, the brazilian president, yesterday, the italian foreign minister today and, and more to come, which is now causing anger. and the united states senators are outraged. and people who sparked said than fan this hysteria. but an ever elusive invasion a now 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 looked with 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, his entirely lost. it's lost in the ambitions of world leaders and the hunt for ratings and clicks by the media in 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 risk of this whole thing was hawks would be strengthened and people like or as johnson and joe biden, who quite weak domestic in terms of their politics at home will to stand up. and when the russians pull out and say we should to russia blinked good, and blinked, which stood firm. they retreated and we've won. and that will they hope the

international and their national tickets are domestic standing, sir? it was a risky policy and the hawks are winning our to unfortunately, politically in the west on this issue. ah, now there's more bad news for british house house because pet food prices have sought to record highs on top of already increased living costs, rising energy prices, and significant cuts to welfare. but while brits are struggling bankers a celebrating collecting some of the biggest bonuses seen in over a decade adding to the public's frustration coaches with because i know that from working in a school, we are definitely not getting the region treaties that covers the cost of my living potential every single day i live by myself and it's very difficult having an effect 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 with that figure, hoping more than 50 percent. the low income drivers motorists feel that they're being priced off the roads, so obviously affected me has affected my pockets. i run the business. so it affected me a big time because obviously money's going out a lot quicker than what it 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 may be interrupted if sanctions are

imposed on russia. if the west is threatened to practice financial markets go into free for the oil. price is rising juice, attention 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 an even worse ride as pump prices exception to go up even more. chris are facing the biggest squeeze on income since the ninety's, as inflation increased to 5.5 percent 30 year high. the while the majority struggle to make ends meet, bankers are collecting their biggest bonuses as 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 coach people, partly jealous as well. i me, you caught playing the banking for taking as much as i can out of the system. but

from a society viewpoint, it's quite clear that we got all too many people overpaid and not performing 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 bag chair prices, you cannot in any way justify their pay package, let allow giving them bonuses, but just the 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 government washed, talk to pay money on silly schemes. corruption, then you got to get into trouble anyway. i bet 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, the sink fits always chapel, due to source cost of crude oil, allowing them to jack up the price is that pumps even more. so what fueling the cost of living prices? well, in pounds fuel chuck edwards, saturday party london. now the canadian prime minister has been

condemned for terry in bio position and peace, furious at him, the triggering navy before used emergency powers to deal with the ongoing protest by truck drivers against cove it vaccine mandates. let's remind the prime minister this is canada, this is not a dictator. ah, gasoline on embers. things are de escalating 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 and 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 hope in 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 support each other. 2 thirds of canadians are united because they want an end to mandates and walk down. i said there are 4 races, massage, nestle, a fringe, who quote, take up space and he said, shouldn't be tolerated. isn't this really about the prime minister taking a sledge hammer to canadians that he thinks are unacceptable with the emergencies act as give the government some tough powers for about a month, including the authority to freeze bank accounts. it's designed to only be invoked as is a national crisis, not against peaceful demonstrations, so called freedom convoy has mostly been just that they will though,

prime minister trudeau and his government to insist they are causing damaging disruption to the economy. canadian police have started handing out leaflets to protest is in downtown or to, we're ordering them to disperse. the note he says that any body obstructing the street is committing a criminal offense and could be arrested and charged with protest is in the capital said they are determined to stay and a furious with that government's 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 at cars. we're not, the ones are people's lives. we're not the ones making the people's lives. we gotta fix, you know, we get some changes. do we get the freedom back? well, the protests are up to last month when truck drivers became enraged at being forced to take care with jobs despite working in a mostly solid free environment for movement later snowboard into broader anti government on rest side of the board. there's plenty of support. the canadian truckers american activists have formed their own convoy travelling to the peace bridge international crossing new york state and several fundraising websites being set up to for freedom convoys in both the us and canada. can find the convoy to save america says the canadian protests have been spied people to fight for their

personal freedoms. candidate is now the leader of the free world. kidding aside. it's check 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 is done and it inspired so many people back. it's a lot more than vaccine 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 delivery, the people who have dirty thing in nails of the people that have been ignored by all governments for 2 years. 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

francis to be true troops from molly following years of anti terrorism efforts in the water and west african nation. and i'm seeing the polite president. micron says that relations with the transitional government are no longer conducive to such collaboration as he shall been. sky has more detox. this is been seen by many as a huge embarrassment to have that. and i went opperation with french soldiers of been taking place in moly since 2013. it's almost a decade that now on the grounds that we sent in originally and the president on the previous president of france to try and comb. but your hardest to, while they were early successes in the last few years, we have seen the spreads of islam is to terrorism causes into large parts of molly . basically the operation has not been able to keep a lid on the situation. now we've had this announcement not just from france,

but also from it's european and canadian allies that they are going to withdrew that troops completely from this country in the saw how not for many raise a lot of questions about what the security situation will be in moly going forward that president mike on basically talked about the fact that he couldn't keep. so just in that with the political landscape in molly, and that's because up political landscape is changed quite considerably in the last year or so, with 2 military cues in less than a year and a promise of free and fair elections has been rescinded by the current molly and authorities, president macro and speaking a further details as to why opperation volcano cannot continue still gives you media. we cannot remain militarily engaged alongside defacto authorities with whom we share neither a strategy nor objectives. this is the situation we're facing today in molly. now let's be clear, the relations between morley and france and molly,

you've been deteriorating for some time. just in the last few weeks. the french ambassador was expelled from molly. that was after comments by paris, which despite tomatti and authorities, is being out of control. i mean, this is been a 10 situation and while this announcement that the you, france and canada with. so this has been fairly anticipated for a while. it really does smack up big problems with all in the future. and also problems with the fact that they will now be a bit of egg on the face of france, particularly because it was france that had most of its soldiers, that now operation ball came operations in the south. hell have been held up like france by the e was what they can do defensively outside the remit of nature. the successes that they wanted to show a not successes that they have been able to now achieve in this country and africa . and this will leave

a big question of tensions not just between paris and bunker in the future, but also relations for the new with africa as it heads into a huge summit on thursday. i guess this is something that looks like more. busy like a geopolitical summit, more than just development and partnership. i think when mccracken came to power, he promised that he will actually leave the key behind and he will launch a new partnership equals between the african continent and france. and by extension to you, i'm not sure that this has happened during the last 5 years of his tenure. i think the friends and by extension that you are feeling that they are being pushed out of africa little by little. i'm not sure that you are really willing to launch a new partnership that is truly for forgetful past the colonial past.

instead of promises, we need to see acts and deeds and so far on the 27 countries of the european unit have not really fought for the provision of back scenes to the continent. shun pinsky reporting, they're just coming up to half past 2 here in the russian capital. good to happy company back again with the headlines and more stories in about a blue with . so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race, his on offender sparing dramatic development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time. time to sit down and talk

to the internet. retail, p r c was key, p and g. they were brought in within 24 hours of me racing issues about occurrence with the bank and operate, forced to keep empties on forensic accounting team upon the business. then they are point to keep m g as corporate finance advisors, then their point to keep him g as tough to run specialist. and then 4 months later when the business had gone up for sale, the appointed key pmg on the other side of this as the court appointed administrators. so our key pmg orchestrated this, executed it for our base all the way through by do find it phallic stroke, really k p and g who order to foster cats.
