u. s. u k. have have together crude invaded bond since world war 2. it's quite staggering. we, i literally con, name them all. the us was bombing siri and brian williams was, you know, foaming at the mouth on live television. it's not isolated, they all do that on every network. i am old enough to remember when they were invading iraq and they were doing the same thing. you had a live stream from a tank on cnn. this is who these people are. they are spokes a person's. they are the mouthpiece for the weapons manufacturers. so it's their job to sell war, and i know this must be very frustrating for americans because when they see bombing on live television, they're used to seeing their own troops do it. so when they see russia doing it to defend itself, it's weird for them. they don't understand it and it causes a lot of it's, there is a lot of emotions. and you know, israel is bombing syria almost every single week. and i don't see anyone in uncovering that as a matter of fact, a few hours before rush along the operational ukraine, israel bon, syria, and there was no coverage

it's a matter of the data that you have, which the u. s. and u. k. through their signals, intelligence agencies, the national security agency, and the g. c, h q of quite a bit, but the bigger question here is political will. historically, the u. s. u k, have been much slower to point the finger countries like russia for cyber attacks, most notably in 2016 when it took quite a while for the government to speak up as the cyber attacks around the election took place. it seems that this administration has taken those lessons the heart and they are deliberately moving much, much faster than the u. s. was ever done before. just how dangerous are these cyber attacks, or are they just a nuisance? well right now the, the question the answer is mixed. so as you said, denial of service attacks effectively bring down services. and they're, they're technically simple, but they're really about perception. they're about undermining confidence in the government and at a moment like this that's, that's pretty important. the wiper malware today that you mentioned, whic

u. s. in the u. k. have warned, and russia may invade ukraine, and yet there has been no invasion for their part. the russians submitted abundantly clear. europe's current security arrangement is untenable. bay, hello saxon powers. talk for russia. talks about security. join me every thursday on the alex simon, sure. i'll be speaking to guess in the world of politics, sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm. ah ah, bring you the very latest every out the day. this is our no phone. everyone here with awe of you to join us today for the program on our see we are shifting gears to the u. k. now, by the parents of a 6 year old boy being warned by his school that they and their child may be trans . phobic. the christian couple had only a complaint after the sun came home, confused about a male classmate who was wearing a dress. so i corresponded except the story in the age of non binary and gender fluidity. people are embracing, whoever they want to be for one school in england is taking things

u. s. and the u. k. have warned, and russia may invade ukraine, and yet there has been no invasion for their part. the russians submitted abundantly clear. europe's current security arrangement is untenable to pay more saxon powers of war. russia talks about security oh, driven by dream shaped bankers and those with theirs sinks. we dare to ask join me as the thursday on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking the guess of the world politics. sport business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. ah, i got more of a headline news now. canada's prime minister is feeling the hate after m. p. 's rounded on him for triggering never before used emergency powers to deal with an ongoing protest by truck drivers against vaccine mandates. candidates opposition leader told him it would have been better if he just stayed at his cottage where he was accused of fleeing to when the protest 1st flared up. isn't it true that the prime minister's actions could serve to actually make things worse and not make things better? keeping canadians safe, protecting their communities and neighborhoods, and ensuring jobs and our economy. this is about the prime minister's video, logical attachment to keeping coven restrictions, and mandate like 63 percent of canadians want their restrictions and mandates to end. conservatives presented emotion yesterday, asking simply for a plan. but the prime minister is in denial and is ignoring the science. he might as well be back at the cottage because he's doing nothing productive or constructive to help this situation. but emergencies act is already supposed to be applied. if there's a national crisis, it gives the government additional powers for 30 days, including the ability to freeze bank accounts. but it's not been to be used against peaceful demonstrators which the trucks have been over there have been accused of causing widespread disruption. one of the drivers in ottawa told us he suspects the emergency powers could be abused. politicians understand that if they use this drastic measure that it can be abused and that's exactly what we're seeing today. we're not at war anybody. nobody's dying, nobody's getting kidnapped. but this federal government is trying to save face from a politician named justin trudeau was trying to save his political career. and it's absolutely wrong. he needs to be held accountable. and citizens need to know that he is violating the canadian charter of rights. one person should not have the power to initiate such a drastic measure by himself. this should be a unanimous 100 percent agreement of all premieres across the country when there's a split and you have members of your own liberal party. speaking up against this action of imposing the federal emergency act, it shows division. it shows that there is no support. when he got in was 32 percent of canadian votes, the lowest in canadian history. and now those polls show that that is slipped only 16 percent. so this is all about justin trudeau trying to save his political career, trying to save face and play like a rock star on the world stage as wrong. hello, supporters of the truck as so called freedom convoy remained camped out on parliament hill in the capitol. the festival of the atmosphere, remaining festive as well. this process began over 2 weeks ago when the government made jobs compulsory for truckers working on cross border routes. all the same. most canadian truckers of acts some 85 percent. in fact, a just introduced, defended the emergence, his act, and also his coven rules, or discussion panel, moldova, whether any rights of being breached, you cannot assert to stand for freedom while you simultaneously or press the freedom of anyone else. and this has been an ongoing issue with justin trio and canada. i mean, ever since he, jackie, he's been nothing but hypocritical, and the error of hawk or c has to come to an end. and i'm very proud to say the canadians across the country are not having it. they're going to stand up against this. it's a little bit a critical if you ask me for the media and the trudeau government to act. now as if it's truckers who are causing all of this havoc, you cannot say that the restriction of movement and the destruction of the economy is necessary to protect public health for 2 years. but then all of a sudden when canadians are taking it upon themselves to stand up for their liberties. now it's too far and how dare you interact with people's abilities to load their day to day lives. i don't buy it and i think most of the canadian public doesn't either. well, it's about the same attitude with many people here in europe, even those who are action it. but i'll fed up with the lack of liberties that of the political establishment as imposed. busy on the french, all the germans on every country in europe, the canadian civil liberties association claims just and trudeau has not met the legal bar for declaring an emergency. he has to exhaust all legal options. first on save up, the move is going to harm democracy. could go beyond that, could cause really long term harm here. now adjusted trudeau, enacting these emergencies act. i think the government has just gone one step further in saying that i'm, you know, we're sorry, but the civil liberties you thought you enjoyed as canadians are actually only subject to our wimps. and i just hope that it doesn't get to point where things actually become violent because of the actions of the federal government. because you know, these protesters, they do not, you know what conflict in that way. but when you take away, i guess people's right to peacefully protest and when you even threatened to remove their children from them, obviously things are going to rise and as in attentions and escalation, the freedom convoys gone truly global on monday, as you are talking about, we saw thousands of people to send them brussels from across the you. do you think this is making governments think twice about relentless coven restrictions? or is it making them double clamped down and seeing we've got the power you got to listen to us. people know that understood the lesson, i'm sure of that, you know, in most countries in europe, now, governments try all, are really ready to stop measures to take them down. now is the time for polymers, everywhere in europe, to really look into these restrictions of liberties. and i don't think any government in europe would dare try to go for any despite being at the center of a doping scans of the winter olympics, russian figure skating prodigy, come in a valley, eva. put all that aside to top, the leader board following the start of the women singles event on tuesday. she'll be competing again in the free skating program on thursday. believe it was clear to compete by the court of arbitration for sport on monday, after it have been revealed, she tested positive for a band substance back in december. the result was any reported shortly after she secured goals for the russian and the big committee team in beijing with an investigation still ongoing. if she wins any further metals, it's been announced that no ceremonies will be held. i spoke to to time olympic figure skating champion catarina vit, the german legend, things valley. eva's performance on tuesday was hugely impressive, given the global scrutiny. she's under right now. i did not want it to be to her shoes or to have that pressure and to go out there and gauge as brief as she did. she did a little mistake, but still, you know, she had to go out there the entire world was watching. everybody had an eye on her, and of course, on the rest of the competition in this whole game, she is for me an absolute victim. she's 15 or she's the minor. and she should have not dealt with what she has to face right now. we have not the complete result yet, but i think definitely adults who are around her and who have put her in the situation in what she's is now is just unbearable. my imagination, what she's going through with your 15 year old. everybody hath lost, you know, there is not one single winner in this single game we're having on right now and take it, take the team competition. you know, there are 6 accolade of each country. so all those other teams, they have no matter ceremony. this is the worst. what can happen to an athlete you're out there or you're out there to win a metal if it's a whole different civil bronze but you win a metal. and one of the most important things is to stand on the podium to hear your national anthem, or to share it with your competitors. you. a lot of times you're friends with and you have absolute respect for each other. so for this alone it's, it's, it's really no fair decision, you know, by holding back, because they don't know exactly what the outcome will be. in general. it's a disaster for sports, i must say. and especially for those, all the athletes who are involved in it to some of the big stories we're tracking here at odyssey in moscow. plenty on our website of course r t dot com and on on youtube channel. for me in the moscow news team, thanks for watching. we'll be back to update you again in a little over half an hour with best either financing provider. no, they say my little girl i've heard with central park support dot com. mm. call them right now is they stopped. now. these people learn from their own experience. how vulnerable a business is to the bank. so you pushed my business over the age, pushes me right to the bankruptcy. now i realize we will group. this isn't just the back that may be involved in this is the counselor firms. it is the lawyers. these people have got you want on their stories. ottawa can a whistle blower. tell people's marriages have broken up, lost their family homes. it is spectacularly devastating for people's lives. we have committed suicide, but left behind north, the explicitly state that it was the constant intimidation and grueling by buying coffee sauce that led them to i took the spear, it's obscene. these people up north salt, i for hello and welcome to cross stock. were all things are considered. i'm futile. for months the u. s. and the u. k. have warned that russia may invade ukraine, and yet there has been no invasion for their part. the russians have made it abundantly clear. europe's current security arrangement is untenable. the anglo saxon powers talk of war. russia talks about security. ah, discuss these issues and more. i'm joined by my guess. i've been ellen in washington. he's a senior fellow at the independent institute in kingston. we have nichol, i petro, he is a professor of political science at the university of rhode island. and here in moscow, we have maxine scoff. he is director of the center for advanced american studies at moscow state institute of international relations. originally cross that rules and the fact that means you can jump any time you want. and i always appreciate it. i thought i would make like, you know, it's really interesting to me watching this on a month long, imminent vacation messaging from the u. k. in the u. s. everybody is talking about arrested invasion of uk

u. s. m u k, have have together a crude invaded bond since world war 2. it's quite staggering. we, i literally con, name them all. the us was bombing, syria and brian williams was, you know, foaming, gets involved on live television. it's not isolated, they all do that on every network. i am old enough to remember when they were invading iraq and they were doing the same thing. you had a live stream from a tank on cnn. this is who these people are. they are spokes a person's, they are the mouthpiece for the weapons manufacturers, so it's their job to sell war. and i know this must be very frustrating for americans because when they see bombing on live television, they're used to seeing their own troops do it. so when they see russia doing it to defend itself, it's weird for them, they don't understand it, and it causes a lot of it's, there's a lot of emotions. and, you know, israel is bombing syria almost every single week. and i don't see anyone on cnn covering that as a matter of fact, a few hours before russell on the operational ukraine, israel bomb and syria, and there was no coverage at all. so they're okay with violations of international law and sovereignty and territorial integrity. they're okay with bombings, they're working with wars when they're the ones doing it. and that's most of the time. president putin has said he's ready to send a delegation to bell room to negotiate with the ukranian government after president vladimir landscape offer for talks. according to the kremlin ukraine has responded with a counter offer for a meeting in the polish capital wolf. oh, so far, no decision has been reached off to day 2 of russia's military operation, putin as also addressed ukrainian soldiers directly urging them to take power in their country. you sure so, but actually in a solution, what was on this you? i once again appeal to the military personnel of the own forces of ukraine. do not allow neo nazis to use your children, wives, and the elderly. as human shields take power into your own hands. it looks like it will be easier for us to come to an agreement. i guess you cannot underestimate the significance of these latest commons by the russian president and the tone, the toughness of mister proven that's something we've not seen before. when he was referring to the government in kiev, i would like to stress once again, but be very precise. he called the officials in charge of the ukraine, a gang of drug addicts, and neo nazis. and that is a very serious thing. plus like you've heard just before, he called on the ukranian serviceman to take power and become in charge of the country. and i would assume that this is something, this is pure speculation, but still this is something that could lead to possibly a different group of people representing ukraine to head, to men's or war. so or somewhere else where potential talks between the 2 sides, that could happen. so this could be what the kremlin is expecting. now i do have to remind you that there are political forces in ukraine, including the opposition and the parliament that are a pro russian that have always been supported by the population in the countries east. and now they have close ties with the russian government. indeed, whether mister putin was hinting at these people at this time, we don't know, but possibly we may find out in the near future. i'd like to go back to the proposal by vol, dimmer, zalinski that he made a couple of hours ago. he, he that he's in a situation where i believe he's desperate to start is the right talks with latimer pulled. and also i'd like to point out that this was a complete change in tone compared to what mr. zalinski was saying about 2 days ago when the 1st stages of the russian military operation were unraveling. back then, he was saying that the ukrainian army needs to stay put and victory for ukraine is inevitable. now he's desperate to have these talks that you should have it. i would like to address the president of the russian federation. once again, there are a battles going on all over ukraine. let's sit down at the negotiating table to stop the killing. well, we are currently seeing a man who was much more nervous, but mister zalinski, according to the kremlin, it being hot and cold. because according to dmitri past gov, after suggesting that the location for the talks be changed to warsaw, apparently there were no more messages or attempts to get in touch with kremlin from kia. we heard from suzanne massey, a former advisor to the reagan administration on russian affairs. she thinks there is no desire for my, the pearson, all the russian population to see a protracted war in ukraine. dumbass is a very, very difficult problem and was a difficult problem before this and it's going to be, it is basically that the ukraine is in a civil war. i think poolgan is a very intelligent leader. and one thing he does not want is he does not want war. and i know that i was in russia now for the last 3 months. and russian people don't want war. and i have lectured all over the united states and nobody in america wants war either. so the question is, who wants war? unfortunately i, i don't think there have been too much encouragement on the american side. but i do think that russia has often expressed in the roof. i happen to know him has often said that the real evil way to solve even a difficult problem is to negotiate. and we, at least in the united states, have now said that we would still like to negotiate. well, i hope so, because that a war is not a way to to make a good decisions sanctioned hurt the united states quite as much as they heard russians. earlier we spoke to journalist rick sterling. well, a lot of people, of course, joe biden, and the us media had been counting the drums of war and, and predicting there would be something like this for a long time. and i think it came as a surprise to people when one looks back at the peace agreement that was proposed by, by russia in december. when one reads that carefully, then it becomes clear that they were that russia to lever off and, and put, and were, you know, we're making clear that the us had crossed the red line and they expected some kind of change. and when that was not forthcoming, obviously they've made their decision that that they had to had to send troops into ukraine and to change the situation militarily. we'll be back with the latest in about 20 minutes coming up next to the document, which you might find interesting ukraine, everlasting presence. the a. it isn't with the one, you know, maybe a with a lot of the b, b a . the all new polls with the former evil empire, standing up to the empire of life advisory board. and it was announcing his decision to d, potentiate your brains, military infrastructure. it wasn't just a resurrect, saying the ghost of the cold war is clear that the russian us animosity never really and how hog and bloody, but it still get oh, driven by drill shaped bankers. and those with who dares sinks, we dare to ask ah, with i was thinking somehow i had to come back because mom was waiting for me. i just knew that everything would be fine. for some reason really were so confident because we were going to get married officially after he came back. how could he not come back? because the mere thought of it never crossed her mind. the militants decided to try and break through. i heard you guinea ab screaming grenade, google who makes blows and blow him. we'll run his bag below 0 and it was all over . all should we know that our comrades and our commander won't leave us here. no matter how tough it gets, where team they're valuable. if kenny was a senior in his military trio with, he knew that if he didn't smother that grenade with his body more, if his comrades would die, he gave his own life to save his friends. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race, movies on often has very dramatic development. only personally and going to resist are those 3 how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk with ah, he, she ah! below 2 mirrors, the lensky, born on january 21st 1978 comedian, producer, and screenwriter supporter of bureau. my dawn, he supported punitive expeditions by the ukrainian army and nazi military formations and gone boss. yahoo! guy oh, but hold no rod, the voicemail was gleick i now i knew with his 1st actions zelinski managed to revive the public a little to begin with. he took up foreign investment. i actually spoke to president zelinski when he was a candidate before he was elected. i mean, i wish to walk, did you think he was a good candidate for president of ukraine? no, i thought he was the only candidate because i knew the poor shanker was a mass of crooked. everybody in ukraine, that liberal side, conservative side wash, agreed that 8. he basically took anything that wasn't nailed out. and, and, and, and the bird regional occasion. the only question is, did he take a $100000000.00 or $200000000.00? they gave the comedian, like 70 percent of the vote. i mean, the guy, the guy was a guy was a television committee. look the social who was peace me. economy . there was a book, but he special wish than this one. to speak to the bottom one year. we show us here, politician your professor. yeah, i've wanted a book conflict. lucko and nick, you might to put on your political numbers. we'll do the vicky ho, nipple trip. when lester gets on wood laska, would you ship this amendment with mr. zalinski? his success? we resolve the national issue in ukraine on july 1st 2021. he signed law on the indigenous peoples of ukraine. it's almost a direct copy of the 1935 right citizen law of hitler's germany, according to the law. the 2nd largest people in the ukraine russians are not fully fledged people. zelinski also suggested that those who consider themselves russian to leave ukraine the way the video was genuine. fisma miti. here with that is my hero. a fisma show it and i do for you. what i did last i knew you were yet fortunate. and i said the last of this guy get money much. i did something of it. i didn't hear a lot please. lot of me the money that he had it. oh, good. under president zalinski, the question was directly posed to ukrainian society is ukraine self sufficient? state, how do you assess the cancellation within united states and to train like a quality partnership or something else? i mean, the korean became sort of the client faith i met with. but i thought was that he could committee a keith and there's the sellers. michelle, so loss will care business finish diagnostic program. somebody out of keeping me out. if that is a singular stuff, i mean business. great. no, great. according to the constitution of ukraine. the land is the basis of ukraine sovereignty. but under the terms of the loan, land reform must necessarily enable foreigners to gain access to the basis of sovereignty to the land. in reality, no stops was simply the land, the graph terrain teresa. but most of the ordinary district lester was up on mr. ross martin to greenland because she can like a motion resume across northrop with larose. yeah, it was a bush taught was royal he don't where shows would be his little day will korean you was raised, shall number 3 been myths lay as so you suppose you know, south american with a medicaid was a will put medicine, lavish cream, not in my but when you started night at the kim law chatam lucky lisa willis, i see you have see local see local for tube bishop cleaned on what gods could read mostly livid lawson and were struck each now but most of the blue. but at last, he must wish lands for nato munoz. this is the milenko for luca, for you with redundancy. yacoma patrice, your call, ma'am country boyer insured the bus people. but on euclid, which was because i think we have him green ashlyn near the 63 as they can remember to credible missouri to talk to her about her bossa. martha. thank you, porsha, proponents, clickable experience. you will never get to receive. wow. cream. oh, they came, what's the issue of american school political put a good mash up with them. said potomac cousin dennis, you don't move on polluted movie. she wrote you, would there be a lot of you seem a lot of the controller. suppose with you though, of you know, very similar to the control is through us. you though, of you know, unless shipple change means can we would omega dea and you call the horseshoe, or seal to the what sugary clutch a low or cleaner don't much a was for the was i'm so, so thing is a williams. if you look in those blue, a live the yellow models blue every year on august 24th, ukraine celebrates its independence to hang out state flags, forcing the national anthem. and rarely does anyone wonder what exactly 3 years of independence has given ukraine. mostly will, will put a will it thread search in they supervision. ok. lush williston molded booms. long with the medicaid, medicare slide, the medicare knishes ish. my water provides for dual credit on williams schedule. shall be upload. do you?

iraq with the venture? anybody? my

u. s. m, u k have have together a crude invaded bond since world war 2. it's. a quite staggering. we. i literally con, name them all. us was bombing, syria and brian williams was, you know, bo, me get them out on life television. it's not isolated. they all do that on every network. i am old enough to remember when they were invading iraq and they were doing the same thing. you had a live stream from a tank on cnn. this is when these people are, they are spokes person. they are the mouthpiece for the weapons manufacturers. so it's their job to sell war, and i know this must be very frustrating for americans because when they see bombing on live television, they're used to seeing their own troops do it. so when they see russia doing it to defend itself, it's weird for them. they don't understand it and it causes a lot of it's, there is a lot of emotions. and you know, israel is bombing syria almost every single week. and i don't see anyone i'm seeing and covering that as a matter of fact, a few hours before rush along the operational ukraine. israel bonham, syria, and there was no coverage at all. so there okay, with violations of international law and sovereignty and territorial integrity. they're okay with bindings, they're working with wars when they're the ones doing it. and that's most of the time. they may ask agreements obliged both sides of the ukrainian conflict to withdraw weapons from the front line. as he has a documentary following the lives of people living in the conflicts over the past 8 years. and you can watch the full version of that on our website, dot com. good news, like most, who live in the gray zone. the v rosky family tries to pay little attention to the wall that came straight to their house. they're getting used to their usual village life on the fire. damage table gardens have long been turned into mine fields and 7 years of civil war. the basement is where they mostly live now, and they are well aware that any time they venture outside, it could end in injury or death. mm. i work with a federal and that's also she made a thumbs with a lot, but well, i guess with sure is this seal, and it's done by the villages who ended up living on the front line. don't want to leave their homes. i sure did a quote ah a turning point for you. train came back in 2014 when the government was talk pulled in an uprising bank. then a phone call was leaks in which you s diplomat victoria noon and was talking to the u. s. on pasadena to sign in which you trade in officials to put in which government posts, max blumenthal, edits of the grays on independent new side things those actions put ukraine on the path to wool. so if you watch you as coverage of. 1 this war, you will not hear about my done, particularly in that context that is career suicide for any correspondent or any reporter to provide that context. and that is the most critical context, the context of what has happened to the people have done it. and lugens, since b of my don regime came into power, the 13000 dead majority on the don bass side. that is forbidden to discuss in the u . s. and so potent is this. the entire conflict is reduced to one person. vladimir putin who was just portrayed on emerson bc, by their top correspondent, richard engel, who is pretending to be in the field is actually far away as a bond villain. and this is all being done in the words of joseph biden to risk.

have no soul. ah ah, ah hello and welcome across that were all things are considered. i'm futile. well, for months the u. s. in the u. k. have warned that russia may invade ukraine, and yet there has been no invasion for their part. the russians have made it abundantly clear. europe's current security arrangement is untenable. the anglo saxon powers talk of war. russia talks about security. ah, discuss these issues and more. i'm joined by my guess, ivan ellen in washington. he's a senior fellow at the independent institute in kingston. we have nichol, i petro, he is a professor of political science at the university of rhode island. and here in moscow, we have maxine scoff. he is director of the center for advanced american studies at moscow state institute of international relations. are a gentleman, cross that rules and effect, that means you can jump anytime you want. and i always appreciated, sir, i would look like it. it's really interesting to me watching this on a month long, eminent invasion, a messaging from the u. k and the u. s. everybody is talking about a russian invasion of ukraine, except for ukraine and

u. s. and the u. k. have declared a diplomatic boycott over schuman rights issues and wilson competitors, but no ministers or officials. meanwhile, organizers have threatened athletes with punishment for any behavior or expression that they deem in breach of chinese law, and will expect the io see to rigorously enforce its own rules. limiting protests, facia are valuable as an indian pick charter. there are very strict rules. so for the middle ceremonies and during the competitions, political protests are not permitted on other occasions, like at press conferences or during interviews or on personal platforms, the athletes are free to express their opinions. but the athletes must be responsible for what they say. again, she got absolutely the sofa, due to covey athletes, and journalists will be kept insecure bubbles, while no spectator tickets will be sold to the public. organizers say health and safety are paramount. bela, of course covey counter measures are still on top of our agenda. we actually, we have been making effective measures and everything is under control. without a safe games, there would be no guidelines. so we will make sure that the health and safety of all participants is our top priority fun definitely. a total of $32.00 new cases were reported by elliptical authorities on wednesday alone. i've expected the pandemic is proving to be one of several headaches for the organizes of beijing 2022. alright, so 2 days away from the beijing winter olympics and so happy to have here with meet tom going away from the w sports. tom. just how much disruption do we expect as a result of the ongoing pandemic? plenty, i think is probably in a word about the answer to that question. now of course the has already been a fair bit of disruption, as we heard and report 32 cases registered just today in beijing. obviously the athletes are inside the closed loop. mccovie bubble and they're subject to daily testing. the worst case scenario, of course, for any is to test positive and then it gains over. they won't be allowed to compete. of course, for reporters and for the participants for officials. they're also in bubbles in beijing at the moment, subject to a lot of testing as well, and also for spectators. the disruption has basically already happened. now it was at the end of last year, when the decision was announced that beijing organizes wouldn't be self any. any tickets to international spectators. they then earlier on this year in january, announced that they wouldn't even sell public, you know, stage a public sale of tickets to domestic spectators. there will be a few who especially invited along. it's unclear exactly to whom those tickets will be going. but yeah, obviously, cove, it costing a long shadow over the games. and another thing that's also casting a long shot, of course, a diplomatic boycotts by the likes of the united states and the united kingdom. how has that been received by beijing yet? well, i mean, of course it's not being taken. we've not been received with glee. no oversee, doesn't go as far as a full boy called the games that was discussed in some countries by the u. k. in the u. s. also, australia have elected to state a diplomatic boycott that just means that they won't be sending any government officials or any diplomatic representatives. now china achieve the usa of grandstanding, political posturing and of undermining the games when the diplomatic boycott was announced. and it's one of several political issues that our phones in china's side during these games. another example, of course, is the participation of taiwan. now, taiwan is a territory that is claimed as part of china by the people's republic. they can be at the games under the banner of chinese taipei and the delegation from chinese taipei had said that they wouldn't attend the opening or closing ceremonies. now they've now being told by the i see that their participation is required. but you know, for these kind of things to be making, the headlines obviously distracts from the games. and of course, it's inconvenient. china is not what they hope people would really be talking ab

u. n says it is yemen web, british u. s. army warplanes bomb this week, we investigate all of them all coming up about to have going on the ground for months. the u. s in the u. k. have warned, and russia may invade ukraine, and yet there has been no invasion for their part. the russians submitted abundantly clear. europe's current security arrangement is untenable to bangalore saxon powers of war. russia talks about security. join me every thursday on the alex simon, sure. i'll be speaking to guess of the world politics. sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm. ah. ah, bring you the very latest every out the day. this is, i know everyone here with welcome back. i'm still here with the renown to most widely distributed independent journalists in the whole of africa. thomas, well, i've got to ask, since oxfam is reporting drought conditions affecting food security right across africa. and then the club will south, how is there a tray? i managed to retain food security amidst, amidst the drought, amidst the climate change conditions. well, reach you. the president reaches very far sighted guy quickly and he back in 2003, 2004 richer had to 1st t

u. s. in the u. k. spearheading this year because we have had on 2 occasions that we know of publicly then you know, zalinski is not on board as nichol i just said here and he's actually pushing back saying it's damaging his economy. and why would you trust your major patrons if you're evacuating your dependence from the country? i mean, and you're not a member of nato, and they're not going to send you troops. i mean, how do you unravel all of that? go ahead. i'm anyone in? well, i think the both ukrainian and nato people are doing what they see is in their best interest. and of course, the zones he has to create a public, a sense of calm. where's the nato allies want to deter any possible attack? which i don't, which i don't think is impossible here because we have, there's troops there, there's even the logistics, the blood, the, the hostile. so the stuff that you would do if you were actually not just an exercise, but an invasion. so, you know, they're looking at the intelligence nato is looking at the intelligence and saying, well, you know, this is very possible. so, and we want to deter it. s

u. k. written and you are currently talking about reforming. the northern ireland protocol, ireland says, any unilateral change to that agreement is a breach of international law. germany and the u. s. have rejected the word apartheid in connection with israel. amnesty international published a report accusing israel of practicing segregation, dispossession and exclusion against palestinians. and missy said its findings were based on the seizure of palestinian land and to be forcible transfer of people. israel has strongly rejected the findings with golden. new data released this week by danish researchers. it shows that greenland massive ice sheet has lost enough ice in the past 20 years to cover the entire united states with half a meter of water. the climate is warming faster in the arctic than anywhere else on earth and ice melting away from greenland is now the main factor in rising oceans. on the front line of climate change, current studies show green lands rapid melt is helping push up global sea levels. they risen by an average of $1.00 centimeters around the globe. daughter see him all the up the arctic ocean especially is warming out. that's led to this dramatic melting of ice

u. s. and the u. k. you have declared a diplomatic boy caught over schumann writes issues and wilson competitors, but no ministers or officials. meanwhile, organizers have threatened athletes with punishment for any behavior or expression that they deem in breach of chinese law, and will expect the audio see to rigorously enforce its own rules. limiting protests. they show that you've seen now in the olympic charter. there are very strict rules. so for the meadow ceremonies and during the competitions, political protests are not committed. on other occasions, like at press conferences or during interviews or on personal platforms, the athletes are free to express their opinions. the athletes must be responsible for what they say, and she got as far due to covey athletes, and journalists will be kept insecure bubbles, while no spectator tickets will be sold to the public organizers say health and safety are paramount, bela oh, cool covey counter measures are still on top of our agenda, we have been making effectiv

u. s. the u. k. and canada have also confirmed that they're bringing measures that target prudent and lever off will bring you more on these sanctions. and what they mean in our business update with christy clubs and that's coming up in a few moments. the russian invasion has prompted many ukrainians to flee the country. the un says that more than $50000.00 have already left heading for neighboring countries. neighboring countries like poland, moldova, and hungry. but there has been heartbreak at the border for many, with men of military age, separated from their families, and ordered to stay in ukraine. all they have with them is what they can carry people streaming out of ukraine into neighboring countries like poland. this woman and her 3 children watch the last 15 kilometers. younger you come up, we have to guy. if we're running away from the war and saving my life and my children's lives with her husband drove the family as close to the border as possible. but he is not allowed to cross men of fighting age can'

u. s. in the u. k. have warned that russia may invade ukraine, and yet there has been no invasion for their part. the russians have made it abundantly clear. europe's current security arrangement is untenable. the anglo saxon powers talk of war. russia talks about security. ah, discuss these issues and more. i'm joined by my guess, ivan ellen in washington. he's a senior fellow at the independent institute in kingston. we have nichol, i petro, he is a professor of political science at the university of rhode island. and here in moscow, we have maxine scoff. he is director of the center for advanced american studies at moscow state institute of international relations. or a gentleman, cross up rules and the fact that means you can jump anytime you want. and i always appreciated. or i would look like, you know, it's really interesting to me watching this on a month long, imminent invasion, a messaging from the u. k. and the u. s. everybody is talking about a russian invasion of ukraine, except for ukraine and russia are not. i mean, how do you explain that? yeah, clearly a president zelinski and his cabinet are not singing to the same hymn book. and that has been a source, as we read in the press of frustration in the united states, because the rest of the nato allies are predictably following along like that's about. so, you know, like you say, the bottom line is that there is not going to be an invasion. and that leaves me for me at least the most important question is, what do we do afterwards? what if worse comes to worst and there's no rush an invasion? i'm going to look, i'm going to look for, for american ford, both. i really don't know how we're going to get out of the situation. well, i mean, you know, why is it the u. s. in the u. k. spearheading this here because we've had on 2 occasions that we know of publicly then, you know, zalinski is not on board is the guy just said here, an

u. s. and the u. k. have declared a diplomatic boycott over, schumann writes issues and wilson competitors, but no ministers or officials. meanwhile, organizers have threatened athletes with punishment for any behavior or expression that they deem in breach of chinese law, and will expect the io see to rigorously enforce its own rules limiting protests. they shaw the out, even if they're not in the olympic charter. there are very strict rules, so for the middle ceremonies and during the competitions, political protests are not permitted. on other occasions, like at press conferences or during interviews or on personal platforms, the athletes are free to express their opinions. but the athletes must be responsible for what they say. orient you got as you sound far do to covey athletes and journalists will be kept insecure bubbles, while no spectator tickets will be sold to the public. organizers say health and safety are paramount, bela, of course covey counter measures are still on top of our agenda. we actually, we have been making effective measures and everything is under control. without a safe games, there would be no guidelines. so we will make sure that the health and safety of all participants is our top priority fun. definitely. a total of $32.00 new cases were reported by elliptical authorities on wednesday alone. i've expected to pandemic is proving to be one of several headaches for the organizes of aging 2022 . we have time away from d. w. sports with us for more on the story. hi, tom. just how much will the pandemic disruptive game? well, i mean, there's plenty of disruption you know already so far, and i think it's probably reasonable to expect a fair bit more now. exactly how the pandemic disrupts your games depends on your standpoint. now obviously for the athletes who are currently contained inside this cobit isolation bubble and subject to daily testing, that's obviously, you know, a big level of struction that they wouldn't be used from previous games. of course, the worst case is for any of those 2 contract cove. it because if that happens, if they're lucky, their games are over immediately they will be removed and placed in for the isolation for the reporters who are covering the games from beijing. there was a similar conditions there in a separate bubble and also subject to frequent testing and spectators. the destruction has already been almost total because there are no international spectators at these games. there was no public side of tickets, even for domestic visitors within china. and those some spectators will be allowed . they'll be specially invited, slightly unclear, exactly to whom those tickets will go. so yeah, i mean, like we heard in the report, the already 32 cases reported just today. so i think it's fair to expect a high continuing level of destruction. and on the political side, the report mentioned that diplomatically caught from the u. s. u k. how is china received that? well, i mean, it's not a full boy call as we heard, of course, they are going to still send competitors. of course, it doesn't sit well. the chinese government accused the usa of grandstanding, of political posturing and of undermining the games in the olympic spirit. it's not the only sort of political contention surrounding these games, you know, the use of the case of pinks. why the chinese tennis star, who was not seen for 2 weeks after accusing a high ranking chinese communist party official sexual so and then immediately recanted. those allegations so there were concerns about her welfare and of course tie one will be competing as the as chinese, taipei at these games. it's another matter of controversy and political dispute because they were ordered to attend the opening and closing ceremonies after previously having said that, they were going to stay away. so plenty of political. yeah, great, contention, distracting from the sports themselv

have in terms of u. s. influence or even you k influence over argentina? well the u. s. and argentina still have a strong bilateral relationship. the u. s. is argentina is number 3, trade partner behind bazillion china and the u. k. also has a decent amount of influence in argentina. as historically, the british owned a large part portion of argentina's industry and railway systems. however, a lot of that power and influence has waned and recent years as argentina is now one of the largest economies in south america. it has those struggled in recent years and now it looks to beijing for help and partnership rather than washington for financial and trade development assistance. so i think this is very symbolic of the waning influence of the west and the past. historically, argentina has also suffered at the hands of british imperialism. so that also breeds mistrust and motivation for it to seek out new partners. yeah, certainly that influences everything. now, been one of their factor here was taiwan. so what does this mean for taiwan at this point, and does the likelihood

of course that the un security council, their emergency meeting called in new york, we have the u. s. u k, on the side of the west, promising a sanction is playing russia as the aggressor blaming these bush and threats. of course, as peacekeepers were sent into those regions of guns and done yet, because that was the reason why the security council convened this meeting. it has been pretty much a continuation of the history that we've seen over the past months. of course, the west bank jerome for warren and mentioned this eminent invasion in ukraine, of course, the best being taken on what to have would be sometime last week if memory serves me right. that was from joe biden. now joe biden was one to sign a decree imposing sanctions on the regions blue guns and done yes, that was targeting the economy of the 2 regions as being pretty much as much of the same what we've seen over the past few months thinking he has since announced that he will place russian troops in these regions. he calls them peacekeepers. this is nonsense. we know what they really are. russia's clear attack on ukraine

u. s. u k. canada and australia have not sent officials to the vet in protest against china's human rights record. katrina, you, i'll to 0. they jing dimitri babich is a political analyst for the russian use media company over a fire. save ords near. he says the 2 countries have many shared interests. basically, both countries are based in the same gen, in the same danger. i would say wrong whether or not the states that the other western countries. this is a very unfortunate development. roger didn't want to china didn't want this. but as we know from history, common threats, a real rap unites various nations. many lions of any formal i s u. c. washing them and they knew in their rhetoric they, using russia in china, trying to fax a neighbor in congress, ought to come back historically on to the russian or the chinese. and in fact, russia and china congress. and this is the stress on these was made an appointment statement made by president and, and where you asked me why russia and china are interested in each other. because our economists and our political exploration of complimentary r

u. s. the european union and the u. k. have imposed some sanctions on individuals and companies. but the foreign governments are continuing to send weapons to the cool leaders and protest pills on the ground, se they fear they have been abandoned by the world. the un special envoy to the region has called for renewed international efforts to bring about change. i hope a great the action including the security council to help lay down the building block. so narrowed the truck deficit and initiate, talk about top on peace, national unity and democracy. so the road ahead will be long and difficult at the time, so it's now and time is running. and joining me now for more is gay when he's found an executive director of the human rights network. and he joins me now from bangkok . mr. when has the response from the international community been ineffective so far? in order to answer unquestioned, i think there isn't any to tell inaction. there is action, but doubt that as being symbolic action. so what we are asking do international community to have a concrete action that must be effective action or so imposing any sanction effectively. so that need to include your mom while and get in there, right? something that generating millions of dollars and meters of money in going to into the, the military is pocket which they use the spend the money to buy the weapon. and also international arms and bubble, which is crucial to stop the military on committing cruelties in burma. but this hasn't happened in the past year, and 1500 civilians have been killed. why is the international community hesitant to impose such targeted sanctions and these arms embargoes as your demanding? i mean so far the media, the sanction is coming from you in the us and u. k. and canada. but the but you see that it is not only a now but un secretary of possible us or the council. you don't see any roles of us equity counseling, describe it totally paid once i get the confidence in faith. so what we, what we are seeing if in the national community is divided like china and russia is one side and the tried to support and stand with them will it be despite the military is committing heinous crime, crime against humanity. and we launch a report today called breathing tyranny of military. in this report, we clearly defied all the military committing, you know, i mean, does i mean the crime against humanity or the wife's right? very none of his guns are. yeah. so the military is got the waves, could go move, conducting the quality and the atrocity mark killing them. and, and often the tag on the villages is quite similar very same way. it is a very systematic and very similar way, though we are literally committed, you know, citing the hype to the, against y

u, the u. s. a number of other countries. the u. k. have announced limited sanctions against russia in response to its latest moves. do you think those sanctions are going to get most goes attention? well frankly, i think terry, the sanctions that got more attention. actually one point, ah, is the decision by chance a shot to freeze a cation sorry. i'm not going to get back like this is very serious. and not only because it's probably 11000000000 a loss of by moscow and building it. but because in the credit is on an important thing is for you to be ready to suffer for your principles to be taken serious. the rest of the sanctions that you mentioned still do not go up to that level. oh no, i would say that the u. s thank which deal with russia sovereign debt and with the children of some of the closest pollutants allies. some of the people that he's on the rush, they, she'd closer to home from the point you the credit of the summer and that look, it will be much more difficult for the russian government to burrell and internationally. at th
