these people up nor sold the me the brushes top diplomat plays in on the fall food spread by western powers that have exacerbated tensions. ukraine in an exclusive interview with our old vicious propaganda fakes eviction. but the main thing is that the authors of these fakes themselves believe them what they say. if russia withdraws its troops, the threat will not disappear. the bridge for the future already being laid. also this hour and a think tank that wrong the machine russia would invade ukraine last week. it's not accusing moscow being the one spreading this information and also to come police in the canadian capital arrest protest is an attempt to clear that campus prime minister just in 3 days, triggers emergency powers and the court of arbitration with planes,

anti doping agency, the chaos camilla believe its december drug test, and the hom, it's cause the teenage russian athlete. pick the good afternoon, just gone 3 o'clock in moscow. you're watching t international. now. russia's foreign minister has given an exclusive interview with you about young going tensions over ukraine, saying the west has been laying the groundwork to suggested a russian invasion would always be a threat against all this is propaganda fake some fiction. but the main thing is that the authors of these fakes themselves believe in what they say. so if it's pleasant for them, why not? but of course, all this causes a smile, adult spirit predictions and spells every day. at the same time, the nato secretary general states that they have no information about an absolute

probability of an attack. and at the same time, the foreign office also declares that no matter what happens, we must be on guard. if russia withdraws its troops, the threat will not disappear, the brit. so the feature already being laid, the topic is being hammered forever and ever. oh, okay, well let's talk about this a bit further now without danny armstrong, who joins me me studio. hello again, danny. mr. laffer of giving, pretty scathing appraisal of the west, common 3 on ukraine. what has the west said recently? what's been the latest? what we're seeing is pretty much, much of the same in the west, is accusing russia of planning and invasion. it's ukraine, of course. they promise the diplomacy and dialogue, and some de escalation of what we're actually seeing is more drama, dis information. and of course doubling down on the all important invasion day. of course, joe biden, it was who was reported as saying, february, the 16th that was wednesday just gone would be the day of this imminent invasion

has been imminent for the past few months. now we're seeing it being reported that it will be after the olympics in beijing. then at the end of the month, of course, we're glad that february is actually a short month and this could go on forever. if it was any other month now, it could be any time at all because we just heard mr. lover of mentioning a nato think tang to got their predictions wrong. these predictions this by having no proof and no baser, of course, have been a bit proved wrong. every single time the u. k. defense ministry actually posted on twitter, a map of the axis of a potential invasion by pizza. and i can't remember how many lines they drew through ukraine and, but there were quite a few. this is despite love and show you the defense minister, and of course, president putin, himself saying for amongst now that russia has no intention of invading ukraine, but that of course is fell on deaf ears. now you are the secretary general anthony

blinking said the un security council that he would love to be proved wrong. he thinks his estimations and predictions it would be brilliant if for ship change their stance as he put it. but when we listen to the rhetoric gives us a kind of a different picture. our information indicates clearly that these forces are preparing to launch an attack against ukraine. in the coming days. we don't know exactly the formal take. it could be a fabricated so called terrorist bombing inside russia, or a fake even a real attack using chemical weapons. not listening to that, danny, some people are saying it does sound like a familiar playbooks. the u. s. is using and has used before. of course, i mean if we look at with like full flag and finding a pretext for invasion or any kind of conflict, this is straight out of the west and textbook. of course, the usa is use the static in the past as we see with the iraq war lover of also

mentioned the bombing of yugoslavia by need. so in 1999 that was also on the dubious pretenses. now russia said this is all a ploy to devalue bushes security demands over ukraine and nato's expansion in eastern europe. same vote. this escalation, we don't know what to do about it because it's not coming from our sides. of the russian side is getting pretty tired of hearing these claims because we got to be attempts to place the blame on russia are futile and baseless. i must see that we are very disappointed by the ostrich like position of our western colleagues who are trying not to see obvious things. so of course, and here the ostrich lie. care stands that's been taken by the west, this head in the sand attitude, in those obvious things that we're talking about. of course, the russia security demands is the response is that it's made to the u. s. and nato and the responses it has received. and what we're seeing is those security demands are being continuously ignored. those security demands were,

were stated in their public response to the u. s. and nato. of course, they are to stop the expansion of nato and eastern europe to withdraw military advisors and instructors from that part of the world to end the military involvement in the country. of course, that in that includes military drills are on the border with russia in ukraine is to stop shipments of their weapons that were sent in to ukraine and to take out any foreign sent weapons that are already within ukraine's borders. so if those demands, though, aren't matters, russia indicated what it would do. well, if those demands continue to be ignored. i mean, russia has said we want this pair to be diplomatically resolved. but when all avenues of diplomacy are exhausted, russia said it has reserved the right to defend itself and will make a military response. of course, it's not something that the russian side wants. it's not something that anybody

wants. the ball is very much in the u. s. is, of course, as well as nato's to meet those security demands at russia, said they have consistently denied an edge back on that escalation. of course, the russian side said they don't really know anything about this escalation because it's not coming from our corner course lab rav said, he would like the west to print off and publish some of those invasion days. so he can plan is holiday around them. of course, i'm pretty sure we'd all like a holiday off from this invasion of this invasion talk elaborate has been pretty damning. in his words, national sky colleague, the nato colleagues, defending their own righteousness will not be able to avoid talking about how we will continue to fulfill what we signed up for. they will not be able to selectively interpret what was approved at the highest level and ensure the interconnection of all components of indivisible security. we are still making little progress, some fundamental issues. but we're interested in explaining,

in detail the seriousness of the situation and conveying to our american colleagues and then they to allies that we cannot be satisfied with promises. especially since written commitments that require nater, members to fully take into account our interests. not to mention those verbal guarantees, even the written commitments of the heads of states. now it turns out a worthless it won't work out that way. we will make sure that everything is fair. still, we have such a concept of doing what you say you did. that was the russian foreign minister gala off again, making rushes position very clear on ukraine. thank you, danny. that was art is danny armstrong. now we also heard from the british politician and naughty house, george galloway about developments in the russia, nato stand off satellites, obviously don't walk when it's about russia and troop movements away from ukraine.

but neither do they work when the allegation is that more troops are moving towards ukraine. how difficult would it be for the united states to produce satellite images of precisely that which they allege? the answer is they can't because there isn't, there are no russian troop movements towards ukraine. there are significant troop movements in the opposite direction. the real thing that has provoked this crisis is the pumping fool like a turkey before thanksgiving. stuffing of a western trainers, troops, mercenaries, and weapons into ukraine. russia cannot be expected to be relaxed about and relax. they are not when an a think tank that wrongly predicted russia would invade ukraine last week, is ramping up the accusation saying, it is moscow that is sewing disinformation with moran that his were

a gas. yes. if you haven't heard about the atlantic council at is arguably one of the most aggressive pro, valence think tags in the world. that is the de facto thing, tag of nato. so no surprise, they've been that the full front of this hysteria that we're all sick of. just listen to their deputy director. but in has big we can plans and ukraine. he's going to cut power and heat, knock out ukraine in navy, and air force, kill general staff and hid them with cyber attack. then install pro russian president and resort to full scale military invasion if ukraine doesn't give in. this was last week. and just like a previous predictions, no one invaded anyone, but she did her job. she helped mislead countless people and spreads immeasurable fear, bannock, and, and even terror. and she, she has now been hired by the u. s. government to lecture on russian. this

information. but what other things can you, the u. s. government, european governments, new cranes do i to combat states foster disinformation efforts coming from moscow? we live in an upside down world. the atlantic council, which is co funded by such organizations as the u. s. military, all manner of west than weapons manufacturers, as well as well. johns and a slew of banks. you would think that with all that money, the atlantic council would be a i serious organization analysts and intelligence and tactical teams and strategic teams. no. their predictions of basten ceilings and the motions. we have learned emotions running high and i let them get the better of me. i still expect action this week, but putting me dragged us out. we still don't know, but i'm line. is that a recognize that i need to be more judicious, her feelings? her heart told her that that bruton was about to cut power to ukraine and,

and kill their senior officers a dake out the navy coast, the millions of dollars her organization gets from american weapons, manufacturers whose stock prices are directly dependent. the public fear had nothing to do with that. similarly, i think she would be against having to disclose that the atlantic council is funded by arms manufacturers in every one of her tweets. she's also against us state funded media, having to disclose such information like voice of america. i'm voicemail america had a great reputation trusted. i mean, al, it was the status. does it still have a good reputation and is it blocked in russia? occurring to and there we go by discussion on russian, this information turns. and to this information about russia and ridiculous situation. comical leave it until you realize that these people are advising the u . s. government, european states media outlets. and you can only wonder how much more damage have

their emotions done that we don't know about. they produce a lot of effect on policy making because they determine the debate. so they work to shut out. people with alternative viewpoints are to promote of the dominant narrative. well, it poses a lot of risks, but i think from their point it's a win win. so ah, if there is an invasion, then they look kind of prescient. and if there isn't, they'll all run around something in their chair saying how strongly are and how moscow back down. because joe biden's such a tough leader. in fact, thomas friedman just wrote a column basically saying that the other day. so they are one of the i was say, major propaganda tools that are used by the, the, the security state. now another new today,

canadian police have tried to break up a protest camp in the capital and made sporadic arrest of truck drivers and others demonstrating against cave. in fact, the mandate facing tensions further in the process, we saw more or above our load all the all the believe we got picked up. why not get ready? morning. there's over a 150 last leave guard prisoner wagon. there's 6 boxes getting ready to load guys up, build up symbolizes unlawful operate and unlawful order. because this is not an emergency. i know there's not a place that i can do more levels of parliament. they cannot act on that. they are acting lawfully and they are acting under the law. orders were protest is resisting arrest with forcefully taken away by officers with several pen to the ground before being handcuffed one this protest leader christ barba who was also search before

being placed inside a police vehicle. meanwhile, the inter remote were but each chief 30 or insisted the protesters were not peaceful, and that a crackdown was imminent. we've been bolstering our resources, developing clear plans and preparing to take action. the action is in imminent. in the past few days, we've been communicating directly with the unlawful protestors. we've told them they must leave and we have warned them the consequences of disobeying these rules . we will never stop trying to get people to leave our streets. that's exactly what we want them to do. just know that there's a deliberate plan. there's commitment, and there's the resourcing that we now have in place to actually finally end this. well, the emergencies act that is now enforced is allowed the government to ban the rallies and suspend protests as bank accounts for up to 30 days. it is supposed to be invoked only though, if there is a national crisis and the authorities are also cracking down on descent within

their own ranks the notarial government aid losing her job after it was discovered that she had donated a $100.00 to the movement, oppositional make a say though, the prime minister is acting like a dictator. people lost their wages. citizens were harassed, the potential for violence group. and the federal government instead of acting, argued over jurisdiction. canadians can't be expected to simply take this prime minister at his word well, his plans are not consistent with fundamental freedoms. the government should not have the power to close the bank accounts of canadians on a whim. now the protest is, are continuing to make their presence felt in the ongoing wintry conditions. prime minister trudeau cases the know of threats and threats, violence and hatred, and waving racist flags midi there has mostly followed the official line with only

a few exceptions. i, one of them is the radio host, kate cason express support for the truck is on his shoe and says he was then let go from his job. well, my contract wasn't renewed after i spoke out against the mandates on the air. and so i was politely shown the door for the 1st time. canadian people are afraid to speak the truth because we will be labeled as some one who supports hate. i'm so if you attend a peaceful protest with thousands of people, you go home, you watch the news, and then you see there were hundreds of protesters harassing people and spread a spreading, racist hateful messages. so many canadians, early brainwashed and then go on attack each other on, on social media. so there's a very strange divide that's happened between us. we're relationships are being destroy between co workers and family members and, and friendships. i've been talking to a lot of people on my podcast to our lives on the front, you know, grounds of where this is all happening in ottawa,

i do so side of the parlor billings, and they've had their phones face timing with me zooming with me interviewing people walking by and it seems to be all high fives in support from people who even live in the neighbourhood. i'm so the energy is very high. i feel like people are and so the truckers there's a massive wave of love and support and um and freedom. and i think the mainstream media is hiding that and not giving in a voice. and there's a bubbling frustration with canadians who aren't getting their voices heard. i think most people have felt like the government went too far a very long time ago. and i think that this is actually helping to wake people up to some of the corruption and quite frankly, the craziness that's happening right now. that the idea that our bank accounts could be for hosen or, and i donated to the truckers convoy as well. so my wife and i are saying, while we're on that list, should we be worried about it because it is such

a crazy overreach of government power. i think it's working in the opposite way. that adjusted should oh hopes and it's not i'm of going to have his back down. it's actually waking us up to fight even harder. now after the russian figure skater, kimler believer. so her hopes for gold turned to dust at the winter olympics yesterday . the quote of arbitration for sport is criticized how her doping scandal has been handled at this month's games anti doping agencies announced that she had failed a drugs test 6 weeks ago. back in december, the sports chiefs to say the failure, travail it earlier is clearly harmed the athletes and other competitors in banking . this has been the result of the relevant unsaved open bodies failing to ensure that pending cases are resolved before the olympic winter games commence. had that all been accomplished on time and in conformity with the time limits recommended by water. then

a decision on the merits of miss will leave us case and her status could have been made well before the game started and before her competition experienced. and that of other athletes was affected adversely. how does the caea statement fit in with that disappointment last night when the lever went from favorite to forth, the pressure must have been immense. we'll have to tell you that last night broke many hearts not just knows, openly rooting for, believe obviously in russia and everywhere across the world. but even those are critics aha, even a journalist who, while i'm busting off a week's said that this was a pure hot break. even the i'll see president thomas boss speaking of friday's press conference in beijing admitted that he was absolutely heartbroken watching. what happened with believer on the ice on a thursday night. the. this is a man's immense mental trace in her performance. how high the pressure on her, her must've been. these pressure is beyond my imagination.

and how does this that in with the car statement? well, 1st of all, costs did say that now the now broke, the positive probe, which came back with allegedly, a doping test. and billy gave no chance for while you were to deliver that itself. the procedure took too long and basically gave no chance for while you were to mount any kind of defense. it came, not in the middle of the olympics on february 8th, despite the probe was taken on december 20 fit in russia. so it's big questions as to how white this a took so long. secondly, and that is a very important statement by cost that athletes should not be subject to the risk of serious harm caused by anti doping authorities. failure to function effectively at a high level of performance. and this is basically exactly what happens to a leave if you consider her performance last night. this is a very serious hom, especially when it comes to our psychological state. and also, let's not forget that our cost is not ruling out that all this may have been

a technical mistake. there is a probability that the unsaid opened. laboratory might have made a technical mistake, which is compatible with the extreme of low concentration in the sample. this is why the athlete will request the analysis of the be sample since this broke, a lot of people have been projecting what kind of pressure this 15 year old girl might be under a lot of sympathy on the timeline to, to but any, she knows how she feels trying to before the top of her game and a winter olympics and yet facing all this pressure, she said anything about what she's going through. well, surprisingly she seemed calmer there and those who actually won the metals last night. so she didn't really have any comments to make, but listen for a week or even more than that of oliver was heavily lambasted by some of the mainstream media, especially in the west. there were people who were calling for her to be dismissed from the olympics. there are people who are calling on the entire russian team or the r o c team to be sent home immediately and not compete in the next several olympics. all this pressure by the media has been absolutely severe,

and i dare to say disgusting at times, considering the fact that nothing yet has been proven. it's almost set in stone down that a lever will open her b sample. once she comes back to moscow and she's on her way to moscow now, so this story will drag on, of course, but without any concrete evidence of wrongdoing. all those media outlets, all those journalists, seems to have forgotten completely about the presumption of innocence. and the result of that, or part of the result of that we saw last night with that performance. probably the worse performance by lever, which cost or an olympic metal? what about olympic chief to like say that this is reflect on them because i was supposed to be putting on a big show instead, they've had this canoe blight battle to try and keep the route away from what should be a global sporting showcase over the past couple of weeks will, i will not lie. this issue has boys them to the olympic games massively here for the last 10 days. or most of the journalists here, we're not even talking about the metals, one by athletes. they were talking only about volleyball, all those endless life hits outside the media center, not about winning gold,

but about the doping allegations. clearly that has a huge mark to play on the games. and you know what the i o. c president on his box . was beth stood with questions on friday morning, had been majoring during a press conference. it lasted an hour. the entire hour was dedicated to believe just to prove the case. a book to prove my earlier point now, and thomas back basically deflected all the questions there was even a question about whether he felt believe i was bullied by some members of the western press. and he said that we should rather talk about doping allegations than that. he was also asked about why he decided to meet with the japanese and the u. s . ice figure skating teams and not the russian team. he deflected that as well. so there are questions lingering among many here about the quality of management of this situation by thomas barton, the officials. this is not gonna be the end of it. it's going to drag on even after we've had the closing ceremony. what can we expect next on that? the biggest question right now probably a bought from valley was fate of this is the fate of the t metal gym gold metal

that's russia. figure skating team one almost 2 weeks ago. now the awards ceremony has not been held ios. she promised that once the game is resolved, i will be held appropriately at a different place, different time. obviously, that is the biggest question right now. of course, there's no question about it that will leave a will go to open her be sample. it may have been an accident as been confirmed by cas and i only have to wonder why the all those people criticizing and ambassador her all throughout will apologize when and i have no question about it. when volley was found innocent in any kind of wrongdoing, but of course i'll be keeping you updated on everything happening with alexi. i shasky speaking to colleen bray it based earlier. now we spoke about the case with sports culture and media professor and his casual and also with the journalist rick steady. one of the most interesting elements of the report is their criticism of the double standards of the world anti doping agency. they remark on the lack

attitude toward the, the doping test laboratory which was, which was 4 weeks later, which was many days late in producing the report. in contrasting that with how rigid they apply their rules to athletes. so i think that was one of the most most important elements of the report. actually they shine a bright light on the double standards of, of water. something has broken her concentration. the obvious factor is that, that she is frankly, in the middle of a nightmare for a young woman to be experiencing this, this media attention that she's been getting must be not barish. this has been the story of the games have. i mean there have been many high lives so far,

but none approaching bit. this has been the big story. ready of the entire game, i think most people who follow sport would agree with me that she just simply wasn't in the right state of mind to compete. i also would expect her to bounce back with renewed energy and vega and determination to succeed in years to come just come as a hop. last thing in the afternoon here in moscow. good to have company that brings you up to date finance or from us at the top of the ah, ah,

ah, the democratic republic of congo is among the richest countries in the world and natural resources. but he cannot mclee, it's still one of the poorest cobalt is an essential material in manufacturing batteries from modern devices like electric cars, mobile phones and computers. 60 percent of the world's cobalt reserves are in congo . 20 percent of it comes from small scale mines. unicef figures confirm that in 2017 co than 40000 children, worked in cobalt mining in the republic to one 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 a child hard labor children like john michelle
