u. s. makes a move in, says that it is in support of nato. that of course, boosts nato's deterrent and reassurance effect. and certainly when you send us troops, it has a quality that i think anyone in nato would, would admit, raises the stakes for moscow. quite a bit. so this is in, in defense of, of nato. but yes, i do expect to see other nato allies step up as some have done in recent days. the u. k. has announced a significant new deployments, doubling its forces in estonia, for example, sending new defensive equipment. the netherlands and denmark are sending fighter jets and frigates. and another thing that i expect to be coming down the line later this month is that defense ministers will meet here in brussels in the middle of the month. and i would expect that there you will see of force approved for romania, like the enhanced for forward presence. i units that we have now in the baltic states and poland. this is something romania has asked for for a long time. france is willing to lead it, and i expect with all the pressure now from t

u. s. making a series of very controversial allegations about the royal family. and what's the now very famous interview with them? a per winfree, but throughout that time, in the most recent control, sees the queen really has been able to, to step back from it. in fact, her strength is often in her silence and had dignity around these control receive. so to so many people here, she remains extremely popular. the grandmother, really of the nation. the queen also announced that charles's wife camilla will receive the title of queen con thought once her son ascends to the throne. what's been the reaction to them? that's right. this has been a really long running question. what would had title be one child? since this throwing there had been some conversation about whether or not she wouldn't fact be princess consult rather than queen console. and there is a reason for that. and that is due to the, the background really of her relationship with prince charles in the way she was viewed by the public to many she is seen as a figure involved in the to pull out the marr

u. s. makes his own decisions. so this is his own country and should make decisions as to where, where they sit with gun control. certainly in the u. k. funding hand guns was one of the best things we did that cut down the number of gun crimes that we had. so we have learned from this across the world. when you have time, david, how can get back to you just for a very brief, final 4. what's your answer? in terms of legislation or other means to dealing with rise in cases of gun violence in the united states. what needs to happen here in texas, in september of last year, carrying a weapon without a license carrying a weapon in full view became legal. the result has been many months of no deductible increase in firearms, insurance in the public, and a reduction in person on person crime. because the obvious outgrowth of that kind of law is that if a criminal comes to you and you have a gun, he's not going to choose to commit this crime against you because he will be shot. that's the reason we have firearms and holmes.

u. s. a. the u. s. making up stories, if you like. this is propaganda from washington. however, that is not at all how western power said is certainly not of united states c fees . it, we've heard from the white house that an attack from russia could be imminent. the u. s. says that the, the russia has all the forces and the hardware that it needs in place to launch an invasion that the situation is extremely tense. and that is why, though, the diplomatic efforts to continue, even though some hope is fading, that diplomacy could break through and find a solution. we have a high profile, highest level telephone calls to day between the u. s. present joe biden. and vladimir putin just before that, the russian president will be speaking to the french president, emanuel macro and natasha. how was all this being viewed and kia itself is really serious warnings of possible? russian invasions look, series warnings, and also you have some western intelligence officials talking about ukrainian capital a being a possible target. some intelligent sources are from western powers, a

u. s. making it clear the soldiers are prepared to defend nato, not to fight in ukraine. and yet, this is all about ukraine and the 100000 russian troops standing at ukraine's doorstep. russian president vladimir putin could easily order an invasion. then we would have a new european battlefield bordering for nato countries, including those new u. s. troops. i'm brit guffman berlin. this is the day. ah! the door to the remains open. we don't know what decision president couldn't pull make when needed, the more we will not give up our whatever tree you come in, matter what the prices providence to nibble on to have to pay huge surprise for that. what it is to pipe, i believe we believe that you only roach to solution ish through de escalation diplomacy and a dialogue history of police. if it depends on russia, there will be no war. we don't want war with the lot. we have to put birthdate weapons, and i'll head and defend the country. i think unfortunately, the di may have been cast also coming up former drug lord pablo escobar, of columbia was once known as the king of coc

u. s. can make if the 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

u. s. and u. k. make predictions of an alleged russian invasion of ukraine. meanwhile, the security situation within ukraine is deteriorating, will biden, in johnson get their war? ah, to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guess than deep is an in our slow he is a professor at the university of se or norway as well as the author of the book, great power politics in the 4th industrial revolution. and in budapest we have george, i mean, well, he is a podcast where the goggle, which can be bought on youtube and locals are generally crossed up rules. and the fact that means you can jump in anytime you want. and i would appreciate it. okay, let's start out with glen glen. let's get the lay of the land. we've been talking about this now for months on end, on this program, and we're very privileged to have un george talk about it so many times. so the way i look at the lay of the land is that we, it's basically 2 prongs. right now we have a rush is issues with security. it is address the u. s. and n

u. s. making it clear the soldiers are prepared to defend nato, not to fight in ukraine. and yet, this is all about ukraine and the 100000 russian troops standing at ukraine's doorstep. russian president vladimir putin could easily order an invasion.

u. s. makes his own decisions that it is his own country and should make some decisions as to where, where they sit with gun control. certainly.

b, i and attempts to make u. s. law globally accepted. it is a matter of concern that the intention of the legislation is to per athletes from all $206.00 national olympic committees from around the world who take part in international competition under the criminal code of u. s. law. the world anti doping agency, as well as several governments in international sports organizations remain concerned that the act could have a number of negative, unintended consequences for the fight against doping in sports around the world. this of course, has nothing to do with a rookie skater wiping the ice with the u. s. team. and that the announcement about alleged doping came after an r o c gold and u. s. silver. that would be too much of a coincidence, especially after test taken in december and now being talked about in february, it looks very strange that it took almost a month for the sample to get from st. petersburg to stockholm. this raises very serious questions for me. it seems like that someone held this probe until the end of the team skati

u. s. u. k. make predictions about alleged to russian invasion of the brain. meanwhile, the security situation within ukraine is deteriorating. will bind johnson get there? war more than 20 years have passed since one of the world's deadliest terrorist attacks that took thousands of lives. people started to scream, they always wave that chemo for us. that was like opening up an oven door, but not all wounds of heal. the survivors and responders have increased rates of cancer and other health issues. due to the dust and chemicals they inhaled a company to get my blood cleaned out. the metals, a lot of blood in my blood, in terms of 1st responder was well over a 100001st responders. and there were some estimates that tend to 20 percent still have some we have a cheap full recovery. it's my what i'd sure, sure. the minute i have with family friends, i thought i was humble before this really home was you depreciate. life with president putin makes the choice to immediately recognize this sovereignty of uk

u. s. busy has a lot of influence, a lot of cloud so, so the u. s. will make that cloud felt, i am sure, but yes, i think the authorities, the sports authorities is sort of put on notice that this, this kind of confusion is extremely undesirable. and that things should be done differently in the future. we had earlier you assigned to doping x, but said the skaters on for raj could face trouble on the relatively new us law. believe the, the dr. watson of law. and do you think this is right, even though open case hasn't been resolved effectively, a case and process? yes, i think that i think that that, that everything that, that due process should be followed very carefully and deliberately. but there is, there is an important question. i mean, she's a 15 year old girl who apparently, apparently has taken a, a forbidden substance. so the question arises whether to get access to the substance who provided it, did someone encourage her or pressure her to do that? these are all legitimate questions that should be pursued, but pursued in a neutral objective, deliber

u. s. gun. make it pay $73000000.00 to settle a lawsuit filed by 9 of the families whose relatives were killed in the sandy hook school shooting. the 20 all gunman who killed 20 children and 6 teachers in connecticut in 2012 used a remington rifle. well, those are the headlines that he's continues here now jazeera after the stream. stadium, thanks for watching by fidel ivy. k is the world's leading coker producer. but it's weak infrastructure makes traveling a challenge we follow to drive zoom as he grapples with repairs to his many bath and yahoo! one of the few willing to drive to remote villages, risking at all ivory coast on out there. ah i asked me okay, you're watching the stream at the end of january truckers in canada was so upset with the vaccine mandates. they had to adhere to that. they drove to ottawa and started a protest that protest is still continuing on monday. this is what joshua bigger had to say about why he was still out on the streets. i've also lost more friends. the last 2 yea

u. s. and u. k. make predictions of an alleged russian invasion of ukraine. meanwhile, the security situation within ukraine is deteriorating. will biden in johnson get their war ah to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guest.

u. s. p u k. and the you moving forward with sanctions against russia falling its recognition of the don bass region. all of that is raising concerns that the u. s. could make it increasingly difficult for other nations to work with russia, which is the world's 2nd largest oil ex, border accounting for 10 percent of all global supply. joining us now to discuss all the latest or boom most co host christy i and josh young chief investment officer in founder of bison interest. it's great to have you both on the show today . joshua, let's start with you and i know that we've seen oil prices skyrocket over the last year as demand came roaring back while supply has lag behind. so what do you make of the continued response from opec clause in which the top producers don't seem to be too concerned about oil heading $100.00 per barrel? yes, a great question. um, so it looks like they might actually not be able to produce as much as they're saying. and so their lack of concern from one perspective might also just be that they're getting close to producing their full spare capacity. and so if they just can't produce more than, of course, the not going to be that conce

u. s. media makes it sound like russia just, just randomly declared lugens can done, has to be countries, not acknowledging that lugens can done that declared their independence in 2014. and russia has waited 8 years to confer recognition upon them. so the u. s. media narratives that are quite hysterical right now, you know, are going to be examined. but another thing it's worth pointing out is that one theme we're seeing consistently in us media is an attempt to link donald trump and conservatives in general with russia. you know, tucker carlson who's a t v house on fox news, who has given some more balanced coverage to the situation and presented russia's point of view as a, as opposed to the american perspective is now being widely accused in us media of being a traitor. donald trump is being linked with russia and being accused of being some kind of 5th colonist. and it seems that not only as mainstream media stoking up an anti russia hysteria, they're also stoking up a hysterical against republicans and conservatives. they perceive as being disloyal and somehow sympathetic to russia

u . s. president, making that address to the american public. and i can tell you, is going to be a tough sell to the american public. this, this argument that if this is to spill beyond the borders of ukraine, that american soldiers may be drawn into this conflict. given the fact that the american public is already war weary from the conflict in iraq and afghanistan. and also is struggling in terms of the economic impacts of coven 19 now bracing for the fact that they could see higher energy prices as a result of this conflict. so we expect joe biden will make the case, that in fact, there is a cost to all of this, but it is worthwhile to debate, defend democracy at american values. whether or not that will sit well with the american public is still unclear. kimberly, thank you very much. you'll keep us posted. i'm sure one more hour to go until we find out when we're supporting. who's thinking piece of the sanctions. let's just show you some of the expenses coming to was out of moscow. they were talking there to moscow's former ambassador to th

u. s. president, when he addresses the american public, will make good on that promise that if russia invades, ignores the 1st rounds of sanctions that were put in place by the u. s. and european leaders to trying to turn invasion that the result or consequences would be even more punishing. so we expect the us president to outline what that will look like. we believe it will be some sort of a series of sanctions designed to cat russia off completely from the global financial system and also, and europe's dependence permanently on russian oil. so that is where we're watching, we're very carefully, but also what we're watching for carefully is what is going to say to the american people. because already this is that an administration that has been innovated, there will be a cost to the american public, whether it is in the form of potential cyber attacks to american businesses, or even the rise in the price of gasoline for their automobiles to get to and from work so the you are present expect to talk about some of those costs, but why he feels it's important. he believes that this is about no

so until and unless he makes a final decision to invade, this will not be imminent though. lawmakers on the hill apparently didn't get the memo. it seems the u. s. just can't make up its mind on russia's plan to take ukraine, despite people on the ground, they're telling them to lay off the hysteria. there are signals even from respected leaders of states. they just say that to morrow, there will be war. this is panic. how much does it cost for our state? but as is tradition, america has decided it knows better what's going on in far away lands. and how can it not panic when there's no hard evidence proving that russia's new plan is to make a film complete with st. corpses, mourners and nato drones, as a pretext for this imminent, but not quite invasion. what is the evidence that you have that suggest that that, that the worsens, are even planning with matt. i'm not saying that they're not, but you just come out and say this and expect those just to believe it without you showing a shred of evidence that it's actually true. all of them. when i ask or what anyone else us, what's the information you said why just gave it to you, which was just yo

u. s. gun make is ordered to pay millions to families of the victims. the sandy hook school massacre. ah, ah, look forward to brighter skies. the weather sponsored my cattle airways. hello, we got some very wet and windy and at times when she weather piling in the cross northern parts of europe over the next couple of days to name storms pushing in from the atlantic winds at least will be mile there, coming in from a westerly direction this is our 1st storm, mrs. dudley, and that's going to see those winds picking up as we go on through the course of wednesday, wednesday night into thursday. it streams across the far north of northern ireland . it's gotten no other parts of england. sir. there's that mild air 15 celsius for london, o, strong winds. they wore grassy parlor way across the low countries, germany, denmark easing across into poland, pushing to very wet and wintery weather over towards at east inside of europe, thursday, something of a low in our weather. but our next storm makes its way in. this is eunice and that will bring more wet weather in across much of the bridge. c

making things up. again. that's after the u. s alleged moscow was preparing a false flag open ukraine to create a pretext for an evasion. but the lack of evidence for the latest claim is left. some journalists scratching their heads as all the stuff gets. taylor reports, fuss, they promised a new year invasion. then they said it was too muddy for tanks and the cabinet was holding off until the ground froze. then they decided that an invasion was indeed, imminent. putin as a lot of options available to him. if he wants to further invade ukraine, and he can execute some of those options imminently, when we said it was eminent, it remains imminent. but again, we can't make a prediction of what decision president putin will make. then after some thought, no, actually it wasn't. we said he couldn't bade at any time, that's true. we still don't know. these made a decision. you're not describing it. i haven't in over a week. the white house, notably, did not use the word imminent in terms of an invasion. is that prospective change at all

u. s. gun make a remington. 20 children and 6 teachers were shot dead at the elementary school in newtown, connecticut, by a 20 year old gunman, remington with pseudo, but how it marketed the a 15 star rifle. the gunman used with a lawsuit legend the company targeted younger at risk males. a charge denied the case has been watched closely by gun control, advocates, gun rights, supporters and manufacturers. this case was never about damages in the sense of compensation. it was about damages in the sense of forcing change. it was about damages in the sense of realizing the goals of these families to do what remember to do whatever they can to help prevent the next sandy hook. when you experience something like somebody being told they're getting a certain amount of money, a lot of money and having hurt, having hurt these families, they would pay every, give it all back just for one minute. that would be true justice the u. s. has also on europe to arrest and extradite the man who was the country's president until just last month. when orlando and unders is accused of helping to traffic tons

u. s. hates it saying it'll make europe too dependent on russian gas now with russian forces bearing down on ukraine's borders. u. s. president joe biden says one false move would be the last straw world. the notion that north stream t would go north stream to go forward with invasion by the russians just not going to happen. this was an awkward moment for german chancellor, olaf schultz, for years he'd insisted that north stream too had nothing to do with politics. meeting biden, last week, he was under a huge pressure to follow the u. s. line, but instead he spoke him generalities. now we would be united, we will act together and we will take all the necessary steps and all the necessary steps will be done by all of us to get help somehow won't bring himself to say the words nord stream to. and this vagueness has brought him a lot of criticism of the us and from other allies, with all this pressure and with europe seemingly on the brink of wall. what's holding him back? the answer lies in his party. the social democrats, it's long prided itself as a bridge builder with russia and aud st

if an africans 5th director wants to make a big screen, i think that they will have to stay in the u. s. and, and use the code of the way that the u. s. or the french makes the film, you know, the walls is nuts. oh, my goodness. say that they're not. then as familiar with our cinema yet, you know, as below what are the codes of the african cinema. it's this difference is, is, is our culture is the way that we dress, the way that we talk is the way that, that we, we, we argue is the way that i, we, we love it. it's the so many other things that is that you just that kind of different and people have to accept it. and, and i think that is a problem. i love the us because i wanted to tell stories about my continent by my country, but my people, and i mean it was 99. he locks 2001 and i was trying to make my stories there, but no one is was listening. no one was understanding, you know, and i could have nina grades of filmmaker, but staying in bulky, i in, in, in the us. yes. it would have been easier for, for, for that you know, but making my stories, it and been in the u. s. ill. it, it w

u. s. is now making a point of stressing ross is supposed invasion is no longer deemed imminent. that word imminent is one that's been used frequently. in the last few weeks. putin has a lot of options available to him. if he wants to further invade ukraine, and he can execute some of those options, eminently when we said it was eminent, it remains imminent. but again, we can't make a prediction of what decision present putting will make. we said he could invade at any time. that's true, we still don't know these made a decision. you're not describing it. i haven't. and over a week the white house, we did not use the word imminent in terms of invasion, that perspective change at all. so i think there's been some confusion around this because we've always been consistent that in so far as we know, vladimir putin has not made a final decision. so until and unless he makes the final decision to end date, this will not be imminent. one of the major reasons that jen, saki has had to walk back the word imminent regarding a possible russian. they claimed russian military invasion of ukr

u. s. s. cole will make a port call, and i will be this after a 3rd mis style attack, in less than a month from the city, was intercepted on monday. the u. e is part of the saudi led coalition at war in yemen. it's carried out a series of deadly or strikes in retaliation, as well as knocking out the internet. are you a trained militia, has been making ground against the recently a turkish couple. the turkish government is accusing greece of allowing 12 people to freeze to death, after stripping them of clothes and shoes, and pushing them back over the border. turkey is not reveal the nationality of the refugees and migrants who died. greece doesn't dispute that the it's but says they happened in turkey before they reached the border. the border between greece and turkey is one of the main routes in to the european union, from whence and refugees from africa, asia and the middle east. cove infections in the united states have dropped from last month's highs, but the virus is killing americans at 5 higher rates than people in other wealthy nations. despite all micron being less severe than pr

u. s. continues to make noise about the problems of russia. and right now we're seeing something that is incredibly significant in that russia and china are just making a deal on gas. there, issuing statements about nato saying, you guys need to back off cold war policies. you guys mentioned this in the lead up here. this is also very significant because now you've got these 2 countries, essentially saying is what it sounds like to me. war with 1 may be war with both. and so europe is not going to want to involve itself and that the u. s. shouldn't wanna involve itself in that it's, it's insane policies and everybody needs to back down a little bit and get back to some, you know, reasonable diplomatic conversation. instead of beating these war drums, and now kristi, i got about 45 seconds left here, but this agreement also impacts nato, as china and russia have released this joint statement condemning nato and it's cold war ideologies. what does that mean during that time heightened, talk of war with russia? well, they're making a reference to

u. s. can't seem to make up its mind when russia is supposedly invading ukraine. joe biden claimed to be before the end of the beijing winter olympics and the media, citing official say it could be wednesday. but now america's national security adviser is being well a little more vague. what can you tell us about reports that us intelligence believes russia is considering wednesday for an attack? we cannot perfectly predict the day been invasion can begin a major military action could begin by russia in ukraine any day. now will you listen to those was on it's, we're not showing you any evidence, but trust off washing tanks are rolling towards the key. if you then open up any news website and it's plastered with the warnings of the impending apocalypse is almost become a competition. who can create the most outrageous headline, and of course, in the process, get the most clicks and b. c. for example, as to not, no one, not true, but 9 invasion roots. papers are placing bets on one. exactly. russia is going to evade and world war 3 is going to start sometime this w

u. s. has been making around about around europe . nobody actually knows what president brookins and game is in, in the, and all of this. is there a risk? do you think that by sending these troops in and by arming our troops within you, ukraine, that you as president, you're biting, might actually end up forcing president putin, into a corner from which the only response is actually some sort of military action. yes, that'd be alarming. tonight is that by the does bush person put an end to corner a dangerous corner whereby the russian person would have to act because of the accumulation of assets natural or bad, approaching russia and its facets close by in so many ways you could see that we are at the cost of a 2nd cold war talking about war a few months now a couple years. but i really see it coming and i see the pretext of ukraine being one whereby the russians are actually, we organizing alliances. the americans are the organizing lines. it's been a way that the symbols, the old war. busy so ne, to the head and he said, you're all

u. s. gun make able pay $73000000.00 to settle a lawsuit filed by 9 of the families whose relatives were killed in the sandy hook school. shooting a 20 year old gunman who killed 20 children and 6 teachers in connecticut and 2012 used a remington rifle. this case was never about damages in the sense of compensation. it, it was about damages in the sense of forcing change. it was about damages in the sense of um, realizing the goals of these families to do what we were to do, whatever they can to help prevent the next sandy hook. when you experience something like somebody being told they're getting a certain amount of money, a lot of money and having it hurt having it hurt this family so they would pay everything and you would all back this for one minute . that would be true justice. the police chief in canada's capital has resigned that they are the prime minister invoked emergency powers to stop anti vaccination protests. peter slowly has been accused of not doing enough to break up a truck driver rally that's blocked roads and ottawa for 2 weeks. well those were the headlines that he

u. s. yes, but also make it clear that continental europe has to defend its own interests and stands a lot more to lose than the u. s. thank you for that. the debris politics are correspondingly in a hotter let's take a look at small stories making headlines around the world. thousands of people have rallied in the tunisian capital against moves by president case said to give himself sweeping powers over the judiciary. presidential decrease, grabbed a judicial watchdog and gave himself the ability to block appointments and dismissed judges. protesters accuse him of undermining democracy, thousands of unvaccinated health care workers of march through the greek capital, athens demanding the government allowed them to return to work without being vaccinate vaccine. mandate for health workers means those who not had at least one dose, will faced suspension without pay. dozens of migrants have been rescued off the coast of italy after trying to cross the mediterranean sea. they were picked up by coast guard rescued vessels and taken to the island of lam, producer. several people are still accoun
