A price count on energy and paid to stimulate the sector, leaving consumers to bear the brunt of the cos, fears of fuel, to the one man after 1 in the morning here in moscow im, you know, neil and this is the news. Our an artsy, lets get into it. We will get into those headline stories in just a moment, but 1st, the seeming u. S. Strategy to whip op a war threat. Frenzy has taken another turn. Washington, as accused russia off preparing a propaganda video to use in a false flag operation to justify an invasion of ukraine. The find out more or less cross live knowledge where a u. S. Corresponded kill up open killer. Then some bold claims being talked to by take us through whats been said. Sure will we now have Us Intelligence officials who are coming forward and saying that russia is planning to develop a prop again to video, to depict a depict a fabricated attack on its troops that will then be used as a pretext for invading ukraine. Now, the Senior Administration officials who were quoted speaking on condition of anonymity, they said this video will depict graphic scenes of the staged false explosions with corpses. Actors depicting mourners and images of describe destroyed locations and military equipment. Now the state Department Spokesperson was pressed to provide specific evidence to back up this allegation that russia is essentially planning to, you know, you know, fake some kind of violent attack. And, you know, make this very involved complicated hoax in order to justify an invasion. Ned price said the white house is absolutely sure this is info is accurate and they will disclose it. Or i guess that once they are absolutely sure once they are positively sure, then they will go ahead and disclose the information to back up these allegations. This is ned price, us state Department Spokesperson. What is the evidence that you have that suggested that the russians are even planning with matt . Im not saying that theyre not, but you just come out and say this and expect those just to believe it. Without you showing a shred of evidence that its actually true other than when i ask, or what anyone else asked what the information you said, well, i just gave it to you, which was just you making a statement. You said yourself, youve been in this business for quite a long time. You know that when we make information, intelligence information public, we do so in a way that protects sensitive sources and methods. You also know that we do so we do classify information only when were confident in that information. If you doubt, if you doubt the credibility of the u. S. Government of the british government, of other governments and want to you know, find solace and information that the russians are putting out. That is, that is for you to do. Now, as with similar headlines and allegations from western leaders and media outlets, russia has responded pretty calmly. We recently heard the kremlin spokesperson dmitri past god, and he said that there had been so many claims in the last few weeks about old, an alleged russian invasion of ukraine. Yet none of these allegations have come to life and been proven to be accurate. There was another moment, there was little bit awkward in washington, and that was when whitehouse spokesperson gen saki was forced to admit the term eminence, which was used by us officials to describe this allegation that russia is planning to invade ukraine. I is no longer being used, jenn, saki was grilled on how the Biden Administration said russia was, was having an imminent invasion of ukraine. And she essentially abandoned the use of the term. She said that they used to think it was eminent, but now they have stopped using it because it sent a message. They were not intending to sad. So one wonder is if the United States wonder backtracking these allegations about this false flag fabricated video. We shall see what develops, but at this point, weve just heard these rather extreme allegations from the United States not really backed up with any evidence. Yeah, thanks for taking us through all vos or us corresponding. Caleb martin. The pentagon and hows acknowledged down at least 3 civilians were killed in a raid on terrorists in northwest or in, while eunice said at least 6 children died in what appears to be the same incident earlier, President Biden healed a successful operation. Targeting the leader on this long state, r t senior correspondent, but i guess the of told me more earlier. Half a dozen children killed as well as 4 woman locals have described these speech battle that took place at the one a m. Just after midnight syrian thought and that lasted for hours and in which, presumably these half a dozen children as well as for women, were killed as well as the leader of isis. A boy abraham me. Alas she me, i crazy. She the 2nd lead the vices after the death of baghdad in 2019, also the result of an american Operation Strike against him. During that episode, also, a number of children were killed. But in this instance, locals describe how helicopters hovered in the air for hours. Soon as i left them, there were helicopters flying at low altitude, about 4 or 5 aircraft. And then we saw soldiers landing. The soldiers targeted a house near where i live. The house was surrounded, they spoke through loud speakers, telling people to surrender, or the house would be destroyed. Then the fighting started near or inside the house. After about an hour, the helicopter carried out 4 or 5 machine gun attacks on the house. 11 came on a lie, were preparing to go to sleep. And suddenly we heard wind and the sound of helicopters. My and went out to see what was going on. She found the sky totally red. They asked us through the loudspeakers to go out. We didnt at 1st, then we went out, they searched us and handcuffed my father. They asked for our names and what we knew about our neighbor. We said, we dont know anything. They asked us to move to the neighboring house and started rating ours. The United States says that he detonated a suicide vest while together with members of his family. We still have no verified information as to how will these children perish . These, the civilians, as well as women, whether it was american missiles fired by helicopters, small arms, far by us, special forces in the ground were indeed these suicide vest. What we know is that these casualties have occurred. Multiple sources of said this, including unicef. Unicef confirms that at least 6 children were killed and one girl was badly injured over night in the border town of at my, in the north west of syria due to heavy violence. All of this happened in syrias it live province, which is where abu bakar baghdad the found of isis was killed in 2019 a similar us rate. Again, a number of children killed, died in that grade also, but he was killed in italy, province, which is ruled by pro turkish rebels. Many islamists, among them, indeed the dominant faction there is h t s or neutral front, which is seen as a, a branch of al qaeda in syria. The town of at me, where the, the 2nd lead of isis was killed is just 2 kilometers away from the turkish board. Where the found of ice this was killed was just 5 kilometers from the, from the turkish board. And despite these are reports of civilian casualties, we have heard a President Biden tell audiences about the strike, which he called precise are forces carried out the operation with their signature preparation of precision. And i directed to the partners fast to take every precaution possible to minimize civilian casualties. This information about civilian casualties. While tragic comes, its an especially bad time for, for barden whos administration has been rattled by, by calls for resignations, as well as accountability following the, the deadly drew strike in afghanistan, in kabul in august, when the United States was pulling out, evacuated from afghanistan, naz stripe that killed almost a dozen civilian 7 children. Among them there had been colds again for resignations, and full accountability. And just a week ago, lloyd austin, the secret of defense, had, are ruled, had issued a call for the pentagon to form rules to do more. To prevent Collateral Damage or will civilian casualties because he says that doesnt represent that the values of the United States or its paddlers. And he called in the pentagon to come up with concrete measures on how the pentagon should conduct war whilst minimizing civilian casualties. We also spoke with julia to marry the, you know, serve advocacy and communications chief in the middle east. She told us its so far on clear how those 6 children died in northwest area. But the serge in fighting is taking a deadly tal. It is very hard to confirm the exact circumstances or the reason behind the fact that 6 children the case and one girl, 6 children were killed. One girl was injured due to the time the violence that we witnessed the overnight in a, in the northwest of syria, perhaps staying on escalation and violence and bad air. You know, what this means is that children pay 1st and they pay most. And if we compare the number of casualties of children during the month of january in comparison to, lets say, december last year, the number is so its in the higher. And this has been the case since the beginning of the year. And this has got to stop children continue to be the 1st and most to pay in this 11 year long conflict. At least 19 percent of the theory of population lives in poverty and start to in comparison to how it used to be before the war began. 11 years ago, the war house car, ive got to come to an end the come conflicts have got to stop. We call an old fight and all parties to the conflict in syria to stop the fighting for the sake of serious children and its future even if the war stops today. The picture is so big for. Busy millions and millions of people among the many just can moving the program on the Russian Foreign ministry has published a list of retaliatory measures against germany. It comes a day after the german media regular blocked her sister tunnel r t d. My colleague raised the shade, discuss the latest developments with r t correspondence, charlotte to ben sky in paris, the 1st don quarter deutsch avella, its offices are going to be closed throughout russia. Its journalists are going to have their press accreditations taken away, and all of their russian language broadcasts are going to be taken off the air. Now, darcia bella has since responded to this, they put out a media statement. They said that theyre not going to take any action until they get official confirmation from moscow of these measures. And when they do, they are going to appeal them. But this isnt where the rushes retaliation stops. Actually a blacklist is being set up of German Government officials, media regulators, basically anyone who is possibly involved in this enormous Censorship Campaign of rtp brochure is drawing up a list of representatives of state and public structures in germany involved in restricting the broadcast of r t. D and putting pressure on the Russian Media outlet, who will be denied entry to the russian federation. Now this Development Comes just one day after germanys top media regulator. Rules that are tv must stop all of its broadcast. That means via satellite via internet, social media, basically everywhere. The required media lo license was not available. The organisation of distribution of the tv program by a live stream on the internet via mobile and smart tv parking news and via satellite must therefore be discontinued. Of course, our tv can still appeal this decision, but this is just one episode in a drawn out Pressure Campaign aimed at obstructing our team from broadcasting in germany. I mean, the German Government says it does. Its not playing a part in this campaign, but banks have not been doing business with our channel. And germanys top regulator seems unwilling to compromise on this issue. And this is all the while as r t has a legal broadcasting license in the european union. Theres generally absolutely no broadcasting happening from berlin at all r t d e. The tv channel is oh, broadcasting right here for pasco, via a license that was obtained that absolutely all according european rules and regulations, according to the European Convention on transferred to your television. And we are free to broadcast via that license in 30 plus territories across europe. Now, going back over the past several months, what we mean by Pressure Campaign, of course, is for example, the fact that our te set up an account on youtube and it was almost immediately taken down by the platform when it started attempting to broadcast over satellite the signal was so poor that people werent able to tune in. And on top of that, German Government officials have described r t, d e as a quote, irritant. So its not too difficult to imagine that these setbacks could have been set up on purpose to stop r t d e from being successful in germany. And this is something that even the russian president Vladimir Putin has commented on before. I know about the closure of Bank Accounts and so on. Theres a large number of tactics they using. So all t d consol prate, theyre infringing on freedom of speech and thats very bad. Now, like i said before, russias Foreign Ministry takes this violation of freedom of the press very seriously. And it says this is only the 1st stage of retaliation that its willing to shout. So we could see couple of things play out in the future. Perhaps a back and forth between german and Russian Media authorities, or maybe everyone will come to a compromise will have to see, you know, i dont, as you say, r t d e taking flat from the german authorities. But its not just confined to germany over to fraud, standing by live in paris, Charlotte Dubin ski. Apparently our t. Frogs is also in the Cross Charlotte archie from seas in the cross has of the audio visual and Digital Communications regulator hearing from stacys all come now. This was something that was put out in a Magazine Article that magazines called challenges halem, france, and in it, it alleges that all come is about to start looking at how r t phones are assist. The channel here has treated several subjects since it started broadcasting. The subjects in the yellow, vast protests, also stories from syria and stories from central africa, all pretty sensitive topics in the country at the moment. Now they have any official confirmation from all come about this in fact, that checked out their website on tuesday afternoon. Nothing on that even called the press office and they didnt have anything to say about that notification in the magazine challenges, all the fonts itself says it hasnt received a notification that this is about to happen. But we have had reaction to that from the head of the channel. According to the challenges website, the french media regulator, all com has opened a probe into our tea, france. Perfect timing right off to the situation with all tv. If it is confirmed that the regulator is investigating sensitive topics concerning associations, lets welcome a new world of censorship. While she went on to refute that there have been complaints against the channel and said that there was one issue that was dealt with by the csc, which is the old regulator. And that was to do over an issue for miss translation of something from syria, which was a genuine mistake and since been resolved. Now we have reached out to all come, but we have not yet received a response. As soon as we get the, we of course, bring that to you here on auto international. But what is interesting is this a parent dig it the channel comes at a very crucial time. Here in france, we just 2 months now before the president ial elections to take place. And we know that my call president microns party is extremely concerned about what theyve described, spin foreign, digital interference, and miss information head of those election. Artie france in R T International selves, hey, ive actually been denied entry to the lease a polished a couple press conferences to be able to question the governmental decisions that are made. And that has been the case now for the last few years since president mac cone was elected that has been flagged up as being of serious concern by the National Union of journalists and proxy described. This is having a flavor of the censorship about it is clear though as we get closer and closer to that president ial election, there are likely to be more attacks on our channel simply for doing what we do. And that is questioning more some more big figures for u. K. High schools to deal with energy bills for British Homes are about to search by an average of 700. 00 pounds a year after the National Regulator lifted a price camp. It comes amid soaring Natural Gas Prices across europe. R t shaggy edward dusty. Thats the story while as being described as by now pe later scam essentially thats the feeling of the opposition in response to the government. So called package of support that its offering to people to try and alleviate the heavy, precious of this absolute mamas hike in energy priced cap. Now, just to run you through the thickest, then what were seeing is the energy price will rise by 54 percent in april to just shy of 2000 pounds. Now tens of millions of households will face paying 693. 00 pounds more every single year. Which is doubled of last year. So its a huge, huge height with absolute huge consequences. But the government says its stepping in, it recognizes it needed to do so. And offering this packet of support. What we can do is take this thing out of a significant points shop for millions of families by making sure that increase in price if its smaller initially, and spread over a longer period without government intention. The increase in the price tap would leave the average household having to find an extra 693. 00 pounds. The accident im announcing today will provide to the vast majority of household just over half of that amount. Well, versus due next to reprise that role as being the rescuer of the nation coming forward with a package of support. However, its all as generous as it may seem. So to break it down, its to tid. First off, theyll be a 200. 00 pound discount. However, thats not exactly a freebie, its a loan. I will have to be repaid in 40 pounds installments over 5 years. So that money could just simply accumulate for people that are already struggling. Then theyll be a rebate and tax and council tax for thats just a 150. 00 pounds. Plus risha sudak fell short of scrapping be 18. Many people were hoping he was going to do that because if you take that lump sum, that 2000 and, and a 100 pounds of thought is v a t, that could be a significant amount of money. It could have really helped. Now all of this has gone down like a lead balloon. Many people are highly, highly critical, especially looking at people that are struggling to make ends meet. The chancellor has offered cold comfort to families in poverty to all ready rationing what they can spend on essential, such as heating and food. This support will not get people through the next few months and they will not protect those most at risk of hardship. A day after the leveling up fanfare, the governments piecemeal measures wont protect low income families, either now or in the future. Surging Energy Prices are only the start of the crisis. The help announced for these families today wont be enough. Were going to see more children going hungry as parents struggle to make ends meet. While the government says this is beyond talking, politics blames the pandemic, but also blames the global surgeon demand hiking up all of these gas prices. But analysts, theyre quite worried that this could actually happen again. Come the autumn and that the government could have halted all of this. Instead, that prioritizing profits over the living standards. Now today is really from bad to worse because the bank of england are now raising Interest Rates from 0. 25 percent to 0. 5 percent, which just asked this cost of living sweep. Now everybodys going to be affected by the announcement earlier today. Were going to see high, middle on the income families taking a quite a hit. But of course, as those low income families are going to be hit the hardest for them. Theyre already in a di. Lemme thinking about eating or heating. But with this announcement, it seems like they might not be able to do either. Canada is Prime Minister her said there are no plans to call up the military to disperse. The ongoing truckers protest over a mandatory vaccination. It comes as a capital city also as chief of police, suggest that bringing in the army one has to be there very cautious before deploying military. As of now, there have been no request and, and that is not taking the cars for the truck or protest coin the freedom convoy movements brought also and several other regions to a border crossings with the u. S. Or one of the main focuses because of the rules for quarantine. Upon return from america, the truckers are slumming, government and moms to be fully vaccinated in order to work their standing firm. They say they wont budge on this. The government makes a huge Truck Drivers other blood life is there, the lifeline to an economy when our existing politicians failed miserably and divided nations and countries, its us versus them. Like just if you know its the truck driver and those that support the 1st step down the road in which so many people have fallen. Theyve done something that politicians can only dream of. And thats united, pumped, really nice people. You stop a Truck Drivers, you stop the right. Meanwhile, the go fun, me website has blocked donations through the drivers, citing legal issues. So far the campaign has raised their own 10000000. 00 Canadian Dollars for the convoy. Facebook has also made a move removing a page promoting the truckers campaign for the exam slot that says censorship. Its finest me. Lets welcome on to the program jason la face the North Ontario organizer for the freedom condom. Boy, welcome to you. One of the bedrock of democracy is freedom of speech. Do you think the bed stumped, the movement on social media as weve just been talking, but its dumb indicative of where canada is right now of a changing canada. Well, and right now its everybodys united with the problem were having as we have a Prime Minister whos gaslighting protesters and people who are simply using their, their right to free speech direct to protest. He doesnt like what were doing then its like you said united the country and theyre trying to do every single day. Ready chance a sensor sensor us, theyve been using liberal, biased media to talk to us calling us all these horrible names which is just not true. And even to the point where the product, we feel that the Prime Minister is using lobby groups to do setups across or across ottawa, stuff like you facing the war, the war memorial, which was done by n t 5, but we got the blame for it. So we actually went up there and we have people who are guarding at 247 mounts. Cleaning it up, its deliberate. Censorship is i find its out of control. Now truckers have been essential workers during that pandemic. Is there a class element to watch something . Now, do you think its condescending towards the working class that the way the movements been essentially other . Well, what i find condescending is people who talk us, right . These are, these are hardworking kaidens who pay their taxes. You know, they. Ready sit in their truck 1617 hours a day. They dont need to get boxes. But with that said, a lot of the truckers in this convoy are vaccinated. And thats where the public just doesnt understand or maybe they just misinterpreted it. But these people are vaccinated. And they simply want them to end because its a form of depression. Now, thats exactly how all of us consider it. Are you fearful . The support you have among the public . Will wayne, if this continues much longer, the movement has been affecting some peoples ability to go about their day cross the border get, get along in town. I dont, i find that theres more support growing every day when from my perspective, seeing it on our side of things. So im, you know, im also one of the guys here in the web guys. So were keeping tabs on how much interaction were getting with, with folks online, and not an offline. And i can tell you that the support is growing. But just just to interrupt the residents of both of us. Some of them have been fed up, they say with the disruption has begun counter protests. Yeah, there hasnt been any counter protests whatsoever. Actually thats all lies from liberal media. Again, i want to reiterate something here. The citizens of ottawa, its a very small percentage that are upset and you know, and i apologize for, for, for making them upset. But they also have to understand that were simply standing up for right now. The majority of, of people who live in ottawa have given up their homes, have set up shuttles. They have some of them have even rented out apartments just so that truckers could get, you know, a place to stay. And so i mean the supports been really good from, from people in ottawa, its a very small percentage and the liberal media is just ostracizing it to something thats just not sure. How has that morale been in the last few days . Are people still theyre willing to stay and go there and do this for longer, are they because the gofundme page for instance being stuff has that affected morale . Not really. No. I mean, whats affecting morale mostly is at night when we shut down and chief has been hitting our trucks, you know, edging our trucks. Just trying to damage our trucks while theyre parked that night. So now we got truckers who do not want to leave their trucks. They just want to sleep in their truck side. They but yeah, i mean the morale where weve been working on any time that we get a sense of, of it going down. We create a very slick yesterday and today we put wrote hockey for the kids and a lot of truckers came out and helped you know they came and played in them are all just boosted rate. It keeps me are all going. Weve got about 20 seconds of jason, but just have you had much contact with authorities . Have there been talks about discussions and what would you say if youve got that platform . Well, we havent got any discussions with anybody in parliament other than support from the conservatives. But if, if it was an opportunity for me to say anything, i think we need to open up dialogue and our demands as simple as this. Were not leaving until mandates are listed and not that were not pending on that. Ok, well thanks for coming on the program and sharing your views. Jason la face north and charlie organizer for the freedom convoy an episode of old catholic proportions. Next slide literally joined max and stacy for the latest report beginning and the guys are the
