u. s. good when the war was, of course, was before the taliban took over last year, was the war should be privatized, that his people should essentially run the country and in a private army, that was the 1st, hey, brand idea. the 2nd one was he talked openly and proudly, and he spent time in cobble. i did some reporting about this a few years ago, and his questions were put directly to him that he advocated mining in afghanistan . in fact, because he knew trump was so keen on the idea of the afghan war being his v. a benefit if you american companies could actually extract resources print, exploring the possibility of extracting some of these rare earth. i shouldn't forget these rare lithium. amongst others. i key ingredients in mobile phones and computers and of course as we move towards the d carbonized world. so we hope these resources which often are in conflict, zines, dsa, congo, afghanistan and elsewhere are part of the question of how do you expect these resources when you're claiming t

u. s good shot thought, isn't it? security forces are trying to clear the ambassador bridge. we're truckers are blocking traffic on the until you side the problem. so it's declared a state of emergency. the prime minister is wanting of severe consequences, while many other say it's a crisis of his own me. if you join the protest, because you're tired of the coven, you now need to understand your breaking loss. the consequences are becoming more and more severe. the deliberate politicization of the pandemic is undermined to trust in our public health institutions and as damage to national unity. prime ministers. opportunism has created 2 classes of canadians, canadians now watch as the rest of the world moves forward, ending mandate and removing restrictions. while our government has no clear plan to do the same, the prime minister has intentionally stigmatized and divided canadians for political gain. the prime minister has stopped basing his decisions on science. he's now basing them on political science, doing whatever it takes to save his own political skin. when will cana

u. s. a lot of goods are imported from where from asia, china in particular, and china and many other asian economies have a 0 tolerance policy for cove 19. so whenever there's an outbreak of factories are shut down, workers are not allowed to move around. people can't engage in activities, and so that affects the supply chain. so you have strong demand for these goods, importing goods, insufficient supply of those goods. and so that leads to higher inflation. theorist federal reserve is indicated it could increase interest rates 3 times during 2022. now, higher rates make borrowing more expensive and saving more appealing. it encourages people to put that money away, rather than spend it, that would suppress demand and prevent prices from getting ever higher. heading off of potential wage price spiral, and people start going to their bosses and saying, well, you know everything costs more. i need to raise then, then it begins. so the boss says, okay, i'll give you raise. then if everybody gets a raise and businesses companies will say, well, now i can charge more, i just becomes as vicious

u. s. good. i've always thought that a labor reform, one of the requisites of a renegotiate to trade deal between this country. the us and canada, aims to change that. it gives met, can work as the right to vote on the unions and labor contracts and secret ballot. something that really happened before the election in salon was seen as a bell with a vote, with the new secret elections work. on thursday morning, the results, the new cynthia union trance, the old one. it's headed by paint worker alejandro morales. now she's came to get started the content of this at any up with the contract that we have was completely on the side of the employer. there weren't many rights for the workers, and we have to change that and we have to be a union that really defends them. but it's not just mexican workers who stand to benefit from this. there's a reason why you're us union writ watching this vote carefully. obvious why in particular the us once this and negotiated for it in the u. s. m. ca trade deal, we

u. s. is now not as cheap in goods sporting ship, but no, the u. s. has fell. many of the computers are promised support overnight for whatever countries, not all the court interests of the us. so i think we need good sportsmanship back into international nations professor child let's. let's get back to ukraine just for a moment here, because we know how is europe going to view a joint statement from china and russia, essentially taking a united front against nato? is it possible e u countries might perhaps think twice, but escalating any, any confrontation in the east ukraine? what they are a long history between russia and euro b o understand. and it is not new that the u. s. wants to and so co, russia and but, but she's so strong in a tree. so do you need some help from europe to help? and so russia, especially to us attorney, is now urgently needing to compensate the losing inference in the middle is exemplified by the withdrawal, the trips in a county us with more inference in eastern europe. so this pushes this, russia and china even want to get a lot, a l

so no, this is a good argument to not let him in. but you know, the u. s. is not interested in a good arguments, the u. s. is interested in the political when it by the administration, i should say, ah, the head of c n. n has resigned for lying about when and i 1st started with a colleague, jeff sucker spent 9 years at the news network of the time of pretty much continually falling ratings. here's our to kill him up and with more in the story, jeff zocker surprised his employees with an e mail this morning announcing that he had been having an affair, consensual affair with an employee, one of his colleagues, and he did not disclose it under cnn's policies. what started out as a friendship evolved into a romantic relationship and because of that, he is stepping down from cnn. now many looked at this e mail and we're a bit surprised because it seems like many wonder if the writings and the decreasing ratings over the past 9 years has more to do with it than simply this, this matter of reporting or disclosing a romantic relationship. and at this point, cnn has

so no, this is a good argument to not let him in. but you know, the u. s. is not interested in a good arguments. the u. s. is interested in the political when the bite administration, i should say. yeah, but again, bacteria won't put into the sailor earlier on. he said dire consequences, even war could happen. if ne, to accept she cried into the lodge, you can see the ways thinking can you? well, of course, i mean is obviously a threat. it's a threat that we're sending that the us government, not us, are sending hundreds of millions of dollars in weapons. we have troops on the ground training ukrainians. how to kill russians, how to kill ethnic russians in don bass, the whole, the whole thing is absolutely insane. who we've got nato edging russia to ensure that the minsk agreements are fulfilled on one end. but then the on the other, we've got ukraine still not doing so big contradiction. why isn't ukraine made to do so? hell they have big backers. but i think us is worried that the lensky is going a little squishy. and certainly over the past couple of days

so no, this is a good argument to not let him in. but you know, the u. s. is not interested in a good arguments, the u. s. is interested in the political when the, by the administration, i should say the head of cnn has resigned for lying about when on a 1st started with a colleague, gift succor, spend 9 years out the news network, mainly at a time of continually falling ratings. let's get the full story now from our to kill him up and in new york. so the boss is gone, kill him, take us through what led to him stepping down? well, there was a surprise email to sienna, an employee today informing them that jeff zocker, who is the head of cnn, is stepping down. and the reason given for his stepping down is that he had a relationship with a colleague that he did not disclose. apparently cnn requires that, that relationships between colleagues be disclosed in order to protect the company from liability lawsuits, etc. he's saying that this relationship he's had for the past several years with a colleague started out as a friend relationship. and in the last coupl

so no, this is a good argument to not let him in. but you know, the u. s. is not interested in a good arguments, the u. s. is interested in the political when it by the administration, i should say, natural gas nucular power could soon be classed as green energy in the u. the european commission supports the idea which has been slum by environmental groups as greenwashing know, needs the approval of at least 20 of the 27 e u countries or europe correspond. and peter oliver can tell us more for you entered she's been in focus for quite a while with energy prices across year of being through the roof. but what we've seen on wednesday with the e u commission outline their plans to reclassify some natural gas projects and nuclear power projects on green energy investments. what the u commission, hope that this would do is that it would well take a couple of boxes, really one that it would get investment cash flowing into energy projects to get more energy projects off the ground for to supply much needed energy to the european union. countries also that it would
