ah rushes figure skating team weights for answers on the doping allegations at the winter olympics. the i o. c refusing to say more about the ongoing legal case that victory, metals hang in the balance. buquet spreads the russian invasion, narrative via diplomacy and the news of the british media event, the government pro you brain rhetoric, but she is questionable heroes for the stories also ahead. why did you do this to a country that is already suffering and deeply damaged by so many of his policies. the canadian prime minister takes a barrage of criticism for his stance against the anti bacterial mandate demonstrators. as the protest there enters it 13th day, and syrian refugees may not survive the winter. russian intelligence reports that

us sanctions and the legal oil trading and stamping the stricken countries with their live and worldwide. this is archie international from moscow where it's just turned 8 am, just turned one in the afternoon and paging, and that's where our focus is right now. russia says it's waiting for an official statement from the international olympic committee regarding reports the case of doping. and it's figure skating team, but in its daily morning briefing on thursday, the i r c said it would not be drawn into speaking about an ongoing legal case. right. let's see what we know now. let's go live to our seats. alexey irish epsky. he's covering the games for us and beijing, either alexi can just take us through what's known at this stage. well at this stage, what we do know is that it's an anxious wait for the official iowa statements regarding a legal issue that has been preventing the russian, the u. s. and the japanese teams from getting that dissolved gold, metals,

civil metals, and braun braun, metals in figure skating team event, which they won 4 days ago. and this is something i'm presented the 1st time in the history of the olympic games that a metal ceremony has been delayed for so long with no real explanation as to what's going on. as you said earlier, there was a press briefing on thursday morning of the i o. c. mark adams, the spokesperson of the international committee was asked several times on this issue. but all he could say is that it's an illegally, it's a legal issue. i'm not, you could not really say anything until the official statements from the i o. c, which we are expecting at any moment now. now we've been hearing from the i see nothing more than that. they are not the only ones with, i would say, rather shrewd statements. there was also a statement from the russian sports ministry, which said that it would not deal with speculation. and at the same time, the russian olympic committee on the russian sports ministry read to rated that

they, that they adhered to all the rules and all the anti doping rules and all the aspects of olympic ethics that there is no case of relation according to them. way different waiting for that decision, it's coming any moment now. but on the good side, we did see the figure skater in question, and that is something that has been reported by many news media outlets. camila leave of 15 years of age, part of that elliptic team olympic gold winning team. also one of the most talented figure skaters in the world. she actually took to the ice for a training session today, which led many of my colleagues here to believe that she will not be suspended. she would not be sent home because it's that was the case if that was the case of a doping allegation against camila valley where she would have not been able to take to the ice. that's according to the i o. c. rules. also the press spokesperson for the russian federation of figure skating or going to be were confirmed that

while you will not be disqualified from the olympics and she will continue participating in it, which is obvious to sending a good sign to many of those out here waiting on the i o c decision again, we probably will have to update you during this news bullets in because it is coming any minute now according to multiple sources. also, my colleagues managed to catch a short conversation with the trainer off can leave that as a world renowned. i figure skating. try not to be there. as a little bit of a she said, responding to a question about the doping allegation. she said that she would not deal with any kind of speculation, same, same sentiments. we've heard from the i o. c, with direct questions about whether this was a doping case mark out of the spokesperson said that he would not deal with speculation. and off the journalist to regard any allegations all but doping case as pure speculation at this moment in time. but the talk of the town here and i've

spoken to numerous colleagues here covering figure skating for decades. that no matter how this situation is resolved, that will receive some sort of resolution because it is unbearable for athletes in the 1st place to be waiting for that well, just the metal for so long, no matter what the resolution is, you only have to imagine what kind of told it is already taking on the russian figure, skating team and the entire olympics team in general. i'll just have to say from a personal note, i am at the figure skating event and i just saw 3 russian male figure, skaters perform. all 3 of them fell during their, during their programs. and i don't know whether that's related, but definitely the psychological aspect here is something that many of us are discussing. in regards to this situation, i will keep you certainly updates as soon as we get the news on the i, you'll see something we are all waiting for anxiously here in beijing year at the moment just such a frustrating lack of deeds and especially for a 15 year old who's been the sensation of these games so far we are waiting for the

i osi statement of mo cuts. we live, what happens for now? the alexi, irish epsky and beijing. thank you. another big event that we're across for you, this thursday. britain's top diplomat live trust is due to me, russian foreign minister, a gate of roving moscow to day. the key discussion of course, will be the tensions over ukraine. now, prior to her trip, the british foreign secretary threatened moscow with the toughest of sanctions. but trust a struggle to get the legislation through parliament. the british media, though is following, must missed his lead and isn't flinching on ukraine while choosing some controversial stories to cover. all he's done record has been taking a look at some of those headlights. no secret the u. k has long been one of key halves biggest fan says the western media further stoked the flames of hysteria with fantasies of an impending russian invasion. shiny new gifts from london ante ship missile systems have just landed in ukraine. for the 1st time, are armed forces. the navy, in particular,

will receive real weapons missiles that will finally enable us to have something against the russians in the black and as of c. s. u k. officials in the media clearly have so much devotion to ukraine. they're willing to put these instruments of death into the hands of key ebs warriors. well, the british taxpayer has a right to know who are these people. let's take a look at ukranian sniper, a lena bellas air sky. she's the hero of one of the sons, recent articles and claims. she has no remorse for killing russians, but what the article conveniently left out is that bellas air sky is actually a member of right sector, a ukrainian neo fascist party. and before that, she was one of ukraine's most famous or infamous. far right extremist bloggers. it seems you do not hide that you consider yourself a ukrainian nationalist. absolutely, and i have never hidden this from the face stays on and up to the latest nationalist can mean a lot of things shore. but ukrainians often seem to take things

a lot farther than in other countries. for example, the sun's hero seems to have a thing for monuments to adult hitler. by the way, i'll say something prerogative, now, monuments to hitler will be erected. of course, not in key of but somewhere in berlin. if you happen to be black though, don't worry bel air sky is very tolerant. she's got nothing against you unless, of course, your contaminating the pure white ukraine. she and her neo nazi friends have envisioned for themselves, seriously and without any jokes del, about my attitude to black people. it's all simple. i'm neutral to those of them who don't live in ukraine. those who live here are a real threat to ukraine. she doesn't seem all that fond of homosexuals either, because the europeans, with their political correctness have long been unable to protect themselves. that is, without our help. german foreign minister, you know, vest are well, has married his life partner german cancer angle america was one of the 1st to congratulate him free in the cleavage. how can he shake hands with this minister

now? and if you also have to sit at the same table at the end of the day, none of this has prevented the western media from turning bellas air sky into a freedom fighting symbol. it's no wonder such a person would be preaching all out war with russia, nato events. i want to tell you, dear, dear friend, friends, please do not help us to seek agreement with russia. any agreement with that country is hopelessly futile and counterproductive. only the tough line of the whole free world towards russia and white conflicts of military economic and diplomatic measures escaped, able to stop ed. tensions between russia and the west continued to run high. and both parties are saying, therefore, a diplomatic solution. but when london and washington are giving weapons to people who don't even believe in compromising with moscow, you have to wonder how much of that is just a load of hot air bus. she's quoted as saying she has no moral anguish. oh, it's the targets that she's shooting out, they're not human. and she derives pleasure from killing oz. these are all sorts of

things that were quoted in this article in the sun. ah, so it's, it's disturbing to say the least. this constitutes a war crime as well. because she's boasting about the fact that to those sheets that she's targeting and trying to kill all the other soldiers who ran to help the wounded that she just killed. so she's firing it, you know, people who are trying to basically help the wounded. so i'm basically treating it like it's for sport, and then this is being glorified or by the western media. in this case, the, the rupert murdoch or publication the sun newspaper on how they covered this. and rushes ambassador to the united states says moscow's partner should focus on serious issues because russia is never planned. an invasion of ukraine. nick junior mil in from so no alien from its z information boys ongoing. an example of this

unacceptable info campaign is bloomberg's recent headline, claiming russia had attacked ukraine. no russian representative has ever said russia will attack any state. all this is insinuation all this is fake news. we talk about it all the time. i start conversations already with a smile, saying that neither to day, nor tomorrow, nor the day after tomorrow will russia attack ukraine. any more questions for me? i ask and look straight into the eyes of my colleagues with them. okay, so let's now start talking about serious issues. yuki, yes ah, i'm a canadian prime minister, enjoyed a grilling in parliament as the capital remains gripped by those mass coven vaccine mandate protests, some m p. say the federal government, negative response to the movement as only widened the divide between the public and the state. it seems the prime minister has got a little too comfortable with using the force of government rather than trusting

canadians, so speaker, and what day this month will all travel advisories be lifted? the support of the conservative party of canada for people barricading our streets and our border crossings is harming businesses is harming canadians were putting food on the table. and more divided than ever before. can the prime minister tell canadians why he would put aside the pandemic? why he would try to stigmatize canadians. why did you do this to a country that is already suffering and deeply damaged by so many of his policy canadians loudly and clearly in the last selection. that science and vaccination was the way through. they gave us in this house a mandate to move forward on that and we did for almost 2 years. now, canadians have borne the yoke of los uncertainty and lack of hope. the backs of canadians are about to break. canadians are miserable because of the prime minister

. we want to know on what date the mandates will end. here. a canadian authorities of opened nearly 80 criminal cases in connection with those demonstrations. but one truck, a we spoke to is adamant that the public's perception of the movement is broadly positive. from what i gather, the majority of the residents of all i know that i have spoken to personally are overwhelmingly in support of us being here. many, many auto residents have walked up and down the street pass my truck. many have stopped to talk to me and like 99 percent is not hire of them all. thank us for being here. they support us. they ask if we need anything. we are well fed, we have lots of fuel, a nice lady that lives just down the road, came to me a few days ago. asked if i needed anything. and i said, well, i could do some laundry being done. so she took all my laundry, went home,

watched it all day and returned it the next day. its things like that that are happening throughout every day. it's just all real well, there are a number of canadian politicians and campaign groups are also citing with the protested, calling on the government to negotiate out. he's john, how the report next, from ottawa, a group of tow truck companies here in ottawa that are contracted with the city have refused to tow the remaining big rigs and trucks that have been parked here in canada's capital city as part of the so called freedom convoy protest saying no, are not the ones to be asked to do that. some of these companies even expressing support for the ongoing protest now it started january 28th and 29th. when a convoy a truckers converged upon ottawa in protest of the mandatory vaccination measures a canadas mandatory vaccination measures for truckers. but since then, it's really morphed into a greater a much larger protest having to do with canada's overall cove at 19 restrictions

and even has spark debate, political debate about canada's freedom of assembly and protests and even freedom of speech. now, some canadian officials have called for the protest to be stopped immediately for police to take a more heavy handed approach, some calling this a seditious, seditious act, an act of sedition, even an insurrection and occupation there. they're there here, peacefully. the, everybody that went out here with their families, and this is the most peace, peaceful protest you that you could ever be a part of. there's barbecues, of free foods, there's free coffee. there's bounty castles. there's people with little wagons with their kids. there's, it's, it's, it's a, it's, it's turned into a much bigger movement of canadians, all coming to one place and uniting for a common purpose of they want the freedoms back. i am electrician, and i'm an ex truck driver. and this has been a very peaceful the police have been good. you could feel the change in them. maybe friday night saturday you could tell that they would, they've been instructed to reserve themselves. don't be so happy. don't be supportive. you could see the change in to police soon. it was

a very negative change. and that's unfortunate because i've been here over week, i've been here since last friday and has been nothing but peaceful here. nothing loopy. but protesters we talk to of really bristled at the analogy of naziism in white supremacy, saying that while some extremist types have shown up here, they have been to leave that dis, does not. they do not represent the overall protest again, which is about canada's coven. 19 measures and overall restrictions, question is how much longer is this continue will discontinue police have stepped up there enforcement measures essentially trying to cut off the supply, particularly fuel and gas that being delivered by volunteers to the truckers in order to basically starve them out as one, a protest her describe didn't squeeze them out of here. also finds had been increased, but for now, the protest continues how much longer, whether this political debate and dissension last for weeks, if not months will, that remains to be seen. but the protest very much continues here in ottawa,

john honey, r t. i another voice on those pasta henry hildebrand who's attended the protests told l t that cracked down on the convoys both unconstitutional and done democratic . the mayor of ottawa is determined to starve the convoy, whatever it takes, the police chief said, if any one on any of his officers would give any of the conway people, water, or food, he would not hesitate to start any criminal investigation. so that all started, it's kind of turned into a mockery here of the out of what police because they were yanking jerry cans out of people's hands that were filling their trucks and taking their diesel fuel away . well, the convoy people that are here standing up for god given freedom, they all went to the stores and all got jerry can hand walking around in town with jerry can know if that's the popular thing for the police to look around after i guess they figure they each wanted to have one of what is happening right now with the government cracking down like they are, is so anti democracy and his so anti constitutional against our bill of rights. it

is so anti, what our prime minister has been running on for years say he hears every minority. and of course he called this the, the small fringe minority. the only conclusion we came to is this. this minority must be too large for him. all the bridges overpass us were filled with people that inspired so. so many people only here nationally, but world wide right now world wide. there is, there is convoys happening everywhere and while millions of syrians fries and reco breaking cold and snow, it's claimed that the united states, one of the richest countries of the world, stealing oil from one of the poorest. so says rushes of foreign intelligence service at the same time americans impose sanctions so syria can neither sell, don't buy fuel. i'll t saskia. title takes a closer look. oil rich and yet freezing to death in northeast, in syria,

a region swimming and black gold refugee fair, they won't survive the winter. it is a tragic reality that every winter, many syrians who have escaped the bombs of war, die due to the harshness of winter. 35 percent of displaced syrians inside northern syria, say they know of someone who has died or developed health conditions due to exposure to winter temperatures. at the same time and the very same region. soldiers bearing the stars and stripes are hard at work, bringing aid to the refugees. no trucking out there, lifeline i. washington is still actively involved in the illegal trade in oil from the occupied territories of ne, syria. oil is delivered to iraqi kurdistan by trucks guarded by u. s. military personnel. in addition, the u. s. military contingent and private military company personnel organize the security system for the production and processing infrastructure. yes, there might be only $500.00 or so american soldiers left and syria,

of which that commander in chief is apparently unaware who will have the military in syria. but it seems they've been busy, apparently caught delivering some of the 3000000 barrels of crude. they pump every single month in the country. that's not bad. and from oil fields, they have no claim to not surprising the local government, blast them as looters and thieves in the mean time to mask us is strangled by washington's embargo band from importing oil and struggling to find buyers fritz own so helpless it watches as foreign troops, so it's resources and it's people sell anything they can to keep warm. of course listen to washington and you'd never think it had a hand in worsening the misery of millions. those crocodile tears for oh, so easily lives of people in syria depend on getting urgent health. we have to do everything in our power to create ways for that 8 to get to the open

pathways. not to close them. now it's true and we have reached out to both the state department and the pentagon for comment. this would mean that washington light, it claimed that troops were staying in syria only to stop the oil from falling into the hands of iceland. terrorists. well, i never saw that my coming did. you were keeping the oil, we have the oil, the oil is secure. we left troops, b, i'd only for the oil, but we're keeping the oil. remember that i've always said that keep the oil. we want to keep the oil $45000000.00 a month. it's tough to say that you understand the u. s. produces around $315000000.00 barrels a month for which it gets roughly $9000000000.00. but so it needs that extra 45000000. why? because it can, the, the sanctions that are put, imposed by the united states against syria or illegal under international law. and

are made even more so by the hypocrisy of the united states in sanctioning assyrian energy or production oil sales. while at the same time stealing oil from syria in violation of international law, let's, let's be clear. the theft of oil from syria in areas that are under the control of the united states military constitutes a war crime, a war cry. so violation of international humanitarian law and the international laws of war and should be, you know, defined as such by the rest of the world. but the, the world is turning a blind eye to the united states and what it's doing in syria. we claim to be trying to help the syrian people we are imposing sanctions and we are still in oil in a manner which does harm to the syrian people. it's, it's, it's purely hypocritical, one of things. so about those trips and syria,

that living up to the u. s. army moto, this will defend all, as they say in washington, what's mine is mine, and what yours is also mine? and you study surveilled, that one in 5 young women in the u. k. was sent unwanted sexual images within the last year and the authorities are cracking down with a new law in england and wales to classify so called cyber flashing as a sex crime. the chief executive of the charity behind the survey claims its having a catastrophic impact on young girls. we are calling on the govern intentional violence against girls and women online. and it's devastating impact is recognized and included within the online safety bill. girls and young women should be able to use the internet freely safely and without fear. anyone sending unsolicited photos of their genitalia would face up to 2 years in prison and would have to register as a sexual offender. similar legislation is already

a for in effect in scotland. the new regulations commitment concerns that indecent exposure over the internet has been on the rise because of the current lack of accountability and identity checks. oh hello. this topic was put up for debate with gender equality activist elizabeth hobson, the women's rights activist, and offer power diana their new cale insulation is just fantastic. we need to protect women from this increased emergency. that is this hybrid flashin is disgusting. why people do that, and we know that the majority of them, their young men, will actually send unsolicited pictures of engine talia to this poor girl and women who might be shocked forever. honestly, the legislator has to be very strict in tackling these abuse because we know that men who fletch themselves, they can then come meet a sexual abuse in real life as well. what we're talking about is a non issue. it's not a problem. i think that it may be extremely upset and if we hyper big them

narrative, wherein managing to upset women, we should try to call the sick mind will make the decision to take a picture of it. there didn't tell you and send it to, i'm wanted to and a stranger just sick. i asked one man about his motivations, and he told me that he'd been in a long time dysfunctional relationship, which had ended and he's now depressed and bored. and this gives him a bit of entertainment and it's a bit of a social experiment. and what he found was that most women just block some more aggressively offending some women. and some women reciprocate. so, you know, what, let's just deal with is adults just leave to stay out of it. first of all, we don't know if they're sending this images to adams, please. i mean, let's be real here. they can send them to children to girls, and that's the most important risk that we are facing right now. and also another,

you know, argument, unfortunately, you know, that's the old way women always justified men. no way. i'm a modern woman. i even a modern society in a democracy that has to be 100 percent equal to women, and i say, i don't care if they have problems. they come flush themselves, not cyber, not to real life. you know what we need help. good. eventually we will give them help, give them free therapy, fine we, they have to be comfortable for what they're doing because each single action has a consequence. even if doing that action all on a black, new as college students facing felony charges on suspicion of fabricating a hate crime by sticking notes with racist language on a dorm room door at southern illinois university. a 2 white students were initially blamed for the racist statements, but an investigation determined they were innocent. now the black students being charged with finding a false police report activist though it early

a rally for the expulsion of the alleged perpetrators when they thought white teams were to blame. they say it's under investigation, but i feel like she shouldn't be on campus period. because he threatened to lynch students on this campus. eventually you'll see the black population or the black students stop coming to southern illinois university. it were closely dwindled down until were not there. and were there been numerous claims of hate crimes being faked as u. s. educational institutions, such as a student who apparently egged her own dorm room door and said she was being victimized because of her race. in another case, a muslim high school students said she'd been targeted in a racist attack, but then later admitted that she was lying. the editor of her new site on us higher education told us that some students want to re benefits by faking incidence university, there is a black female student who said that someone last racist notes on her door. she didn't send it to other people. she sent it to herself,

in terms of the motivations, i'm not really sure a lot of times when the college fix is current, the stories, there's the accusation which usually turns out to be false. and then there is a protest and there is demands for different things from the university. you might be more funding and might be expanding or african american studies program. it might be their own center student union on campus. we often tell you when there's a allegation of attack on someone based off their race or sometimes religion which we've also covered or their their, their sexual. busy dad, you know, there will be a list of a petition, right? a list of demand made to the university. so i and i certainly do think student actor will. i will explain that to, to try to get can sessions from their school,

got more oxy programs on the way we are still awaiting word from the international olympic committee and bade ging, as the russian figure skaters await their metals. amid allegations of a, a legal case that's being investigated at the moment, but there's no more detail on that. hopefully we'll find out soon when the i o. c speaks will bring it to you live. you're watching r t international. ah . with the mediterranean is the world's most over fish. see unsustainable exploitation of its fish dogs, which maureen, by of diversity under great thread. similar singing is the lesson again the corners . mm. sure your sinuses. he got the assessment of michael can continue to pulling cookie careful with one of the kids to pick and want to put
