u. s. pretty much taking a stance of if the digital footprint fits, then that's enough basis to blame. russia about destabilizing the situation course in ukraine. i'm sure we'll be hearing more about this story. our art is a danny armstrong. many thanks. what i was wanting to say for your monday headlines lie from moscow and arty international. we are back soon with more. ah, no one else seem wrong. well, please, just don't hold a sheep out d. c, because an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves world support, we choose to look for common ground. ah, your may i am i yes, the order the c i o. now, alyssa, typical, there's only 9, but already a university. students should well be the most famous and talked about child in russia. now i think i am lisa's brothers and sisters are way ahead in their studies to some might even try to get into university earlier. my daughter was only one when they took off the news i had to.

u. s. and russia and nato have led to pretty much a debt. and of course, the topic on everybody's lives is the 10 situation around ukraine and of course, that nato expansion in the east that they let know. because the u. s. is pretty much said that they will really give any guarantees to russia as regards the safety and security and nato expansion. in eastern europe. goes russia accusing nato, a trying to drag ukraine into under the auspices as sick i love, rob said there is a need effort dialogue. the question of course, is being posed by the west is, will that be a military response by russia? will that be a so full invasion into ukraine is a question that kicked off the press conference. and we can hear a lover of how to say about that. american nato seem to have made it very clear. they're not going to, it's a give you the security guarantee. if you don't get the guarantees you've said that you need, that there will be a military response. what does a military response actually mean? could you, could you lay that out? are you ready to use

u. s. public pretty. having said that, there's not out the work that's been done by julian father, don't ship them with him. i'm fairly close. he's product gabrielle shift in united states has shifted public opinion. there is strong public julian assigned in the united states. but i do think at the end of the day, this is about to leaders of countries coming together to resolve this matter, irrespective of public opinion in the country. i started this conversation by referencing alex st. evolve and many other positions, acres, whose prosecution of persecution is followed closely in the west bay if a case like this where its way out in china, in russia or in some other countries. i think that that would have been a major weston reaction, but not here. do you think the handling of the of this case is damaging to democracy? democracy address system of government as opposed to, i told, prosy. i think it's damaging in this sense that people are rightly cynical about why in which countries like the united state

u. s. is pretty much painted. china is an in human power that doesn't care about much. so it's kind of strange that they're now saying that it's up to china to try to hold the piece. so i don't know, i think they're probably scratching their heads in beijing as to exactly what the u . s. is trying to do. they believe that the u. s. has caused the situation and now we're trying to have others be responsible for. is there a sense on the other side of this long, big conversation? is there a sense for you in which the powers that be engaging? don't want anything to knock what's coming out of beijing. the olympics off the front pages because some people are clearly signaling. oh, if something happens and we start calling it an invasion, it would happen during or immediately after beaching once good news on the global front pages. well, i, i, i really don't think that that is an issue. i mean, this is something where vladimir putin feels very strongly. i mean, this is not a new note for him. he at the munich security conference many years ago, he said that he thought that the

u. s. government has a pretty solid case and they're guilty, it is hard to convict them in due process proceeding. well, we know the human rights organizations, former prisoners have reported human rights abuses like torture. why haven't those claims been addressed? well, i think they had been addressed in the way that this kind of treatment has stopped . but the problem now is this, of course, as i said, it's very difficult to convict people who have committed crimes against the usaa and press against humanity because there is not clean evidence that can be used to convict them, according to the proceedings are. all right, and also you mentioned that no president, since george w bush has muster at the political will to close guantanamo bay. do you think president biden will manage to do so? i'm not going to make a prediction. the main obstacle right now to close one of the day is that congress has introduced legislation, which is on the books since 2010, which prohibits the president from transferring prisoners from montana. they went on a more way to the u. s. for any reasons where they cannot

u. s. in geneva, and in brussels earlier this week, let's you pretty much a dead end. the us not bending on must those demands to provide security, or when guarantees over that situation with ukraine. of course, the question on everyone's lips has been whether there will be a so called a invasion in ukraine or by russia. of course, the worst accusing russia and shunting his forces on the border and ukraine as nato expands eastward. russia says it has every right to defend its borders. now that question was raised at the very start of the press conference and we can get circ a lab rose, answer to it right here. american nato seem to have made it very clear. they're not going to, it's a give you the security guarantee. if you don't get the guarantees, you've said that you, ne, that there will be a military response. what does a military response actually mean? could you, could you lay that out? are you ready to use military force to ensure that ukraine never joined major? that's just mccarthy. now only western colleagues gas using tea leaves. they immediately grab the sa

u. s dollar, which is pretty much how all trading is done worldwide. so hoping that the economic cost is enough to perhaps change the calculus of russian president vladimir putin. we do know that there is a press conference tomorrow at the department of defense doesn't happen very often . with the secretary of defense, lloyd austin. so sylvia, lot of questions about whether or not they're willing to send even more sophisticated weapons right now, mostly defensive weapons. so that's one of the things we'll be looking for in tomorrow. a progressive. yeah. and on another times in the u. s. has requested a you and security council meeting on monday to discuss what it calls, rushes threatening behavior was likely to achieve a lot of stagecraft. that's usually the facility where you know, the diplomats like to make grand it down smith and, and really tried to paint the other side in a dire light. unlikely accomplished anything since russia has the veto power. i think what the u. s. is going to be looking at the statements from china, obviously, to ally of ru

u. s. equity, which have pretty much taken a beating since the start of the year after seeing record high after record high treasury yields are sitting near to your highs as the future of the federal reserve . policy remains in focus with investors, keeping an eye on when the nation central bank will make its 1st move toward raising interest rates, which have been sitting near 0. so let's take a look at the numbers here. the tao is down about 3 and a half percent since january 1st, while the as the p $500.00 has last more than 4 and a half percent. but the biggest drop? well, it's been with the tech heavy nasdaq, which has fallen more than 8 and a half percent since the 1st of january and down nearly 10 percent since highs in november of putting it on the brink of officially entering correction territory. so go ahead and take a look at what markets are doing, and if there's something we could expect to continue with, michelle snider, she's a partner and director of training research in education with market gauge dot com . michelle, i want to start with mark is dropping over all over the

u. s. growth would have looked like if coven never happened, because it's not like the u. s. was delivering spectacular growth before the pandemic rolled back, then was pretty much already on the decline. right. and we talked about that a lot in 2019 with you on the show about the fact that it looked like we were heading into a recession. to that, obviously the pandemic kind of threw a wrench in the works and kind of changed up the whole narrative about what happened with the economy. now kristi, when it does come to this recovery, how is the u. s. actually comparing to other major economy throughout the world. well, the us and china are pretty much neck and neck in terms of recovery. they've already both surpassed their pre pandemic cause. so the chinese economy is projected to have growth of 10.6 percent larger for the whole of 2021 compared with 2019. however, even for the world's most wealthy nation, the pose pandemic recovery still remains a challenge. so you, how japan and germany and the u. k. the other, the 3 other top 5 global economies, they have yet to fully rebound for their life. throughout this entire pandemic, japan's total gdp was projected

we now have pretty good data from not just south africa, but also parts of europe and in the u. s. and what we are seeing pretty consistently is that it has a much higher rate of trends. miss ability. there does seem to be a trend that it causes less severe disease, but that's not born out fully. but we do know that with the level of rises that we're seeing in cases, it's much more likely that even with a small percent of people becoming ill, we're going to overwhelm many health systems around the world. if we don't take more aggressive measures, my own to kids went back to school today. and i think it is important to make sure that we can safely keep kids learning in person in school, if at all possible in terms of making sure that everybody tests, if they have access to task before going back to school is very important. making sure that everybody in that school masks as much as possible and to increase the rate the vaccination to make sure all of the adults in those school settings are vaccinated. and as many children that are now eligible in their local setting, also get vaccina

u. s. and, and nato have pretty much come to a dead end over that, that tension in and ukraine in and around ukraine. and those talks are pretty much ongoing, but basically, labrat saying that it's up to the us to find that outcome or anti corresponding danny armstrong. thank you for many the comments that our love rock made today. if you missed them, you can always catch them at r t dot com. also check out artes youtube channel as well. but thanks for joining us today. we appreciate your company more news to come when we return. that'll be in about half an hour. in new jersey emotions, medieval institutions, and dana, godlike technology. and the combination of the st very. you could see historically distinct seeks fixes within our psycho physical makeup have rendered us pretty dangerous to ourselves to go to the planet. join me every thursday on the alex salmon show. i'll be speaking to guess in the world of politics, sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then less than one year ago, the 17 year old from detroit underwent a double lung transplant. previously, daniel had assumed t

u. s. president and u, repay and leaders. but earlier, we heard pretty much confirmation of this from the nato secretary general against oldenburg, nate will not compromise on core principles. we stand for the right of each nation to choose his own alliances. and naples door remains open. we are considering to further enhance our presence in east on part of the lions. this could include the deployment of additional nate or battle groups, while those navy war games continue in the mediterranean involving the at yet the american aircraft carrier, the u. s. s. harry truman, we've also heard on monday from france, denmark, the netherlands, and spain who've all either committed or said they're considering committing moving military hardware or troops to eastern europe. now dmitri pest golf, who's the the kremlin spokesperson, said that moscow as paying very close attention to these movements, reduced in such a nato actions and increase nato activity. now, borders cannot be ignored by our military, her responsible for the security of our country. there is a co

u. s. and russia, nato have led to pretty much a dead end, and of course, is only one topic this on everybody's lips. that's the nato expansion. and of course, the 10 situation surrounding at ukraine, those talks kind of let know ever sig, elaborate, has had plenty to say on the matter as these, you know, nato refusing to bend to any demands from moscow sick. i love rob and moscow last said that they want a decision. they wants an outcome that respects both sides and they don't want to resort to violence over the tensions in ukraine. the west nato have accused russia placing a forces around the border on ukraine and russia has said that they have every right to, to defend himself if this expansion at those continue em. but just on the question of the so called invasion is it, we're in the west, them is saying that it is about to happen. and that question was raised right at the start of the precedent. and we can get a little bit about sig, elaborate answer to that right now. american nato seemed to have made it very clear that not going to, it's a give you the secure to guarantee. if you don't

u. s. withdraw from its global leadership position. and that's, that's pretty interesting because it says essentially, if you watch r t become anti american, but they define being pro american as being pro interventionist. now, there was a recent survey of americans as recently as december of 2021 by you gover. which found that 73 percent of americans preferred the government to focus on domestic issues rather than foreign policy. i. e, 73 percent of americans want us to pull back from this global leadership position. so you can portray this vast majority of americans and somehow being anti american, it makes 0 sense whatsoever. well, going along with that idea of anti american or pro russian would have you is, are to actually be accused of being pro russian or just anti american. they're not mutually exclusive, and one doesn't naturally make the other well, there are, they're accusing of the rti of representing a pro russia view as if the u. s. media, as you put it earlier in its entirety of us. mainstream media represents the pro u. s. government, you not us,

i'm just looking at my laptop, emily, anne, and these figures really say pretty much everything about the u. s. people of color who ski so 87.5 percent a white, then 6 percent, asian, 5 percent latino. latina won't postpone point 5 percent black, $1.00 and then another 7 percent indigenous. you will see that this doesn't all add up to a 100 because some people are more than one category. ok? but the point is that up here, all the majority of people who ski and then not people of color. emily, how is how does that impact you when you all on the stripes? yeah, i would see it empowers me to be present and take up space a, you know, it's no accident. that skiing and snow spurts are predominantly white. just due to the pattern of settlement that occurred in the us with red lining and forced migration and exclusion from natural areas and parks. and so it really is about going and reclaiming space. and i'm sure a lamont, you and probably agree. 100 percent 100 percent. i looked at those figures as black were 14 percent of the population in the united states. and when i have gone to mount over the yea

distinct seeks fixes with, in psycho physical makeup kind of rendered us pretty dangerous to ourselves to the planet. and a u. s. establishes a new national security unit to combat to domestic terrorism. just a little more than a year after america experienced the tragic january 6th capitol hill riots. as isaac turned to brussels for the next round of rushes, security talks with the west. we look at the groundwork that has been laid during talks between russia and the us so far more problematic partying for the british prime minister elite email has revealed a 100 downing street staff, were invited to a movie get together during of the 1st national lockdown and 20 years since the 1st and detainees arrived at the notorious us guantanamo bay detention center. we speak with a former inmates about the hors day faith la.

u. s. on monday, more than 800000 new cases in the u. s. and to do you think, well, that's pretty good. but if you look at the 70 average, which is the much better indicator, and the figures have just come out from john hopkins, they're saying that the 70 average is 553000 new cases in the united states, which is the highest number over the 70 average since the, the whole pandemic began. so you can see there is a deep concern, not least because as we were in the run up from thanksgiving to christmas and new year, we were told that be a serge early in 2022. and that's exactly what we're seeing if there is one bright spot, it is that this doesn't seem to be as awful as covert has been in the past. but the difficulty is that those who would deal with the sergeant hospitalizations, they are also being affected as well. so the people that we combat the watched of the pandemic are also because of they've been exposed the cupboards, have to isolate, or they've actually contracted at the disease as well. so you can see that there is a big, big problem. how is it manifesting itself? well, let's
