countless al, those like them. ah ah, you're watching our g international. we started with some breaking news. this our, the international testing agency confirms that russian figure skater camila body ever has tested positive for a band a substance. also in the headlines a platform hosting a fundraiser for canada's freedom convoy has slammed the ontario government for freezing access give send to go. the 2nd platform to be targeted in the past week has raised nearly $10700000.00 canadian dollars for a movement now, and it's 3rd week of protest middle school and see i'm still, i'm disappointed that we seem to have dialogue between a meet and a death person and top russian and british diplomats appear to have found no common ground on regional security concern submit escalating tensions over ukraine

as they met for urgent talks. here in moscow, a broadcasting lab direct from our studios in moscow. this is our international. i'm john thomas, surgeon. glad to have you with us. now let's start with some breaking news from beijing. the international testing agency has confirmed that tree meta the dean, has it been found in a sample taken from russian figure skater camila volga in december? for more details on this, we can cross live to our correspondence. alexi are shasky, who is in beijing for us. so alexi, what do we know so far? what can you tell us? well, this is actually a very, a spinning story with probably a more questions appearing now than on says off to a statement by the international testing agency. basically, it displayed the chronology of the events surrounding camila believe a 15 year old starlit, i'll figure skating. go absolutely demolished to the ice with our performance just

last week here in bay ging winning a gold dust spot of the figure skating team of the russian olympic committee. but this metal ceremony, as we know, has been now delayed for 5 days, which is unprecedented in the history of the olympic games. and all sides have been citing a certain legal issue that's been preventing the athletes from getting their metals . now we know a little bit of more details, but again let me take you through it and you will understand just how complicated it all becomes. now. now, according to the international testing agency statement, as sample was taken from bye, from val eva on december 25th during the russian skating competition, which believe a comfortably one, ensuring her participation in the beijing olympics. and since ru sada, the russian anti doping agency has been rendered, rendered in compliance by the world anti doping agency falling all the doping controversies of the past. it had to provide the sample to an accredited laboratory

that laboratory in this case was a laboratory in stockholm, sweden. and that's where apparently traces off tri met as a dean, a drug which is on the band list of water bds. i have been found now my colleagues with the inside knowledge of the situation claimed that those traces was very, very small. and maybe that is why i didn't really cause so much attention at 1st. nevertheless, it is a band drug on the water list. what we know about tremendous dean is that it's a drug which is used for treating angina and heart problems. maybe that is the reason why. after a automatic suspension, which other side authorities had to impose on believer, which would have provided that she would not compete in the aging olympic games. on february 9th, she won the appeal and continued her participation in the olympics. now,

the statement from ikea specifically sat that all the information regarding the decision by decided to let the athlete compete in beijing. now that will be disclosed separately by the interested parties. and that is basically going to explain everything here because wild tri met as a dean is indeed on the banned substances list off a water and not for its medicinal properties like curing and china and helping people with heart problems. now it also increases metabolism and increases blood flow. so that is why i want to consider this to be a performance enhancing drug. and that is why it is banned from usage. while, while we have all that, there's also a circumstance fuel provision that if an athlete can provide a medical prove that this drug had to be taken, then the athlete would be allowed to take that drug and even more importantly,

i'm gonna leave a scar and leave 15 years of age, she is a minor and according to a water's own code, she is rendered as a protected person. so there could be a lot of extenuating circumstances. first of all, she did might have not had a knowledge that she was taking the drug than the whole attention will be directed to her on entourage to her medical stop to her coaches. plus there may also have been a acute medical condition which, which you know, made it possible for her to take that drug in a very, very small dose. apparently that's what my cold exam been saying here regarding that adverse now test from stockholm. so definitely we are more than ever anticipating some kind of explanation from santa they did allow a lot of people to participate in the games. they must have been some justification because if it was the case of hardcore doping, a major dose of that drug found in her samples,

then of course were side. i would have never allow her to participate in the games . they have some sort of justification and that is something we need a cleared up for sure. that's something we're waiting for actually in beijing. and of course i will update you on the details as soon as i get it here. all right, we know that there's going to be significant fall out over this and you're the person on the ground there. appreciate that report to look here. shasky. all right, now, although it is still unclear what precise legal issues delayed, the original metal ceremony for the russian figure, skaters, american news broadcaster cnn, named and shamed the athlete at the center of the issue. despite any official ruling seen, it has learned that a russian figure skater has failed a drug test, and that person is a minor russian olympic athlete, supposedly tested positive. as am i supposed to be surprised that broadcast from cnn came before this announcement this morning. the labels that name and her photo, along with the accusations and other mainstream media outlets followed suit

headlines made sure to link the youngster's name with doping. despite nothing, having been confirmed, extra attention was paid to val, i have us return to training at the olympic facilities. legal and media analyst, lionel says the way cnn handled the coverage is despicable. if you watch this and i don't suggest anybody does, but if you want to see absolutely the most biased a unconfirmed speculation. first of all, she's a minor and the last i check one of the reasons for the a legit secrecy to protect a 15 year old and we know everything we know this traumatized the we know the drug . we know her name. oh, but, but by the way, she's of minor imagined to pressure of anybody to be the olympics. imagine that be 15 years. oh. but imagine that you are right now in the, the, the cross hairs of this media microscope. and you theoretically haven't been

accused of anything, it's almost as though, and i'm merely speculating because after all, see it and love speculation. so i'm going to speculate, it's almost like saying, listen, if you enjoy your time here speaking on behalf of say, the, this olympic event. it would really behoove you to say as much as you can to insinuate to imply to basically impugn and, and indict russia based on nothing. let's face it, they have found russia guilty by virtue of some body of evidence. we have not been made privy to. it's despicable ah, switching gears now as protests, paralyzing canada's capital move into a 3rd week. officials are looking at ways to deter support. the government is trying to freeze access to another fundraising platform where freedom convoy 2022 has already raised more than $8000000.00 for protesters or like a dance party,

then better protest right now. i mean to be honest with you, which is really been the case over the last few days. look auto. a police say that the situation is volatile. the protestors here the truckers determined if one thing is true, it's that the supporters of this protest and those that are here are determined they're determined for their voices and their demands to be heard as far as volatility. ah, we know that police have made some arrests, but overall it's been a very like over the weekend there were balancing tassels here and there are families coming here. i described it as almost like a winter carnival type festival. that's really been what it's like a lot of music. there's gonna be a rapper routing here in a short time. so that's been the overall vibe. but the pointed to protest is basically it started with truckers converging upon the city here. january 28th, and iowa are fighting against mandatory vaccinations. for the trucking industry, it's really morphed into a much greater protest over canadas,

coven 19 restrictions. and now a pretty fiery and intense debate about canada's freedom of speech. freedom of assembly, freedom of protest, rules and policies. on that in mind, it's also an extraordinary situation for police while they've stepped up. enforcement measures issuing more tickets, making some harass, mostly people that are drunk and disorderly for what they call mischief. ah, there's a very difficult situation and how do you get all these trucks? hundreds of big rigs with trailers. how do you move them out of the city? if they have no plans on leaving local tow truck companies have said you're not using us. we have to work with these guys, we don't want to be seen doing this. and some of even told me we stand in support of these truckers so it's a very, very difficult situation for police. in fact, one, calgary police officer said it should be in there. there's a fine line between policing and politics. what is happening in ottawa,

with the clear political influence on the police? physically exert political will on peaceful protesters for nothing more than possible. political gain is so very wrong on so many levels. i was just following orders is no longer an excuse. it is time to stand up and speak out by refusing to preach your fellow citizens fundamental charter rights. you signed up to help people stand with your fellow canadians and say enough is enough and luck. the majority of the protesters way talk and we've talked to many including trackers say have, have really maintain that this is a peaceful protest. in fact, we heard a little while ago. there are a groups of police coming in here. and we heard one of the organizer saying, give them a wide berth, folks, we don't want to do anything, they're just doing their jobs, respect them, let's not try to intimidate then there's more of us. then there are of them and relate that to the point. this has been

a massive protest over the weekend. thousands of people here. it's a little bit scale down. we're seeing hundreds of people, but none the less supporters men, women, children, continue to come here from all over the country. but none the less that said protesters maintain. this is a peaceful organization. it's a peaceful demonstration. still, canadian officials, including the prime minister and other federal and local officials, have lambasted the ongoing movement, the ongoing protest, and the pastor protesters including one ottawa city council member. here's what he, she had to say. kurney referred to it as sedition today. i think that's exactly what it is. this is treason, really an insurrection. it's a, it's an attack on our democracy. it's an attack on our federal government. the so called freedom convoy, protests began when a convoy of trucks converged upon and rolled into ottawa, canada's capital city. january 28th and 29th protesting mandatory vaccination rules

for the trucking industry for truckers. but since then, it's morphed into a much greater political debate and fight over coven 19 restrictions country wide. and it's also sparked a fiery political debate about canada's freedom of speech. freedom of protest and freedom of assembly laws. we stayed focused on following the science are promoting public health rules and canadians stepped up in their communities. they stepped up for the front line health workers. they stepped up for each other and canada has been never been so strong and together as we are now again to protesters here the supporters maintain that this is about their rights. you hear the word freedom out there a lot and they continue to contend this is a peaceful organization of people and we have seen families coming here over the weekend. there were bouncy, castles, there are cook out. so obviously it would be a bad form for the police to come in here like gang busters,

and try to take all of that down. and also, they say that this is a movement back, or at least a protest that has garnered national attention. certainly protest across the country, even internationally. we've seen similar convoys in the united kingdom and france and australia, new zealand. we're also hearing about chatter and talk about something similar potentially happening in the united states. a convoy maybe even stretching from california, going to washington d. c. possibly disrupting the super bowl or even president joe biden state of the union speech on march 1st. that remains to be seen. but one thing is very clear. this protest continues here on the ground, in ottawa and other parts of canada. the blockade has caused a major disruption to the supply chains of major car companies, such as ford and toyota has demonstrations bring ports to supply us. border states, along with michigan to a standstill, including north dakota and montana as well. they've been cut off from canada by an

anti vaccine mandate protest. now approaching 15 days. but as official accusations of insurrection and even treason fly in their direction, one trucker stressed to us the support the protest has received from the people of ottawa. from what i gather is a majority of the residents of auto 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're 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 use some laundry being done. so she took all my laundry. when home washed

it folded it and returned it the next day. it's things like that that are happening throughout every day. it's just over whelming, kayla. i'm driving a supporter of the freedom convoy. protests says people will stay and rally until their freedoms are restored. think it would have been a, a per practical convoy if it wasn't disrupting things. i think that's the point of the convoy so that it encourages the powers that be to make rash and very quick decision decision and, and not sit there and avoid the, the issue. and yes, it is going to disrupt things in this put more pressure. everyone knows that if you have, you have the right to protest and you have a right to protest peacefully. this comes down to where we waited 2 years to have a plan in place to have our voices heard by speaking with our elected officials. and it fell on deaf ears and because of that, it has take it, it has to take a lot for canadians to have to drive from coast to coast into ottawa to have their

voices heard. and that's why they bout to stay there until they lift the mandates of these restrictions that are, are faced and restore the canadians rates and freedoms. we have a charter of rights and freedoms that should be protected. and unfortunately, our government has, has taken advantage of that pandemic, and that's why they're there to stay there until they are restored. the situation in canada has inspired a similar movement in france, where large convoys were blocked from moving into the capital by police. the protesters shut out from southern france and had planned to converge on paris and brussels, or to show davinsky reports like not yet arrived in paris. but the plan is for these convoys that are coming from across the country to descend on the capital over the weekend. but before they've even had chance to do that, the authorities here in paris have said that any protests over the weekend will be strictly forbidden. the idea, as some have said,

is for them to try and power lies. the city parish, though is ready to stop them and has forbidden any of the rallies from taking place . due to the risk that this gathering could disrupt the public order, the police department has decided to prohibit such demonstrations from friday, february 11th, 2022 through monday, february 14th, 2022, just like their counterparts in canada. these so called freedom convoys are, have to protest against the cobra, $900.00 restrictions, but their demands are also extending beyond that. and they're asking for more money to be spent on public services and also for their to be this citizens referendum initiative. which would mean that individuals would be able to vote on issues across the country as and when they turn up, they say that that would be a return to a more secure form of democracy. what the trying to do is to capitalize will not

movement at the moment, which we saw starting canada, but it's now spread across the rest of the world. we're supporting the freedom convoy. we're so glad to see this happening in canada and now in europe in the world, we're here to support all of those who are speaking out in support of our freedoms . so when i had to do my duty during the locked downs, i went to work and i caught coven there. i was one of the heroes back then, but now i'm not even treated like a citizen. i don't understand how we went from that side to this one. these convoys at the moment heading towards paris where they say they are still intending, despite the fact that has been banned, to hold those rallies in the capital. but the thirty's have said that they could be severe fines and even prison sentences handed out to anybody, particularly the organizes if they break that bond on the protests over the weekend . but the plan is to come to paris and then to head to brussels for monday. well, we know that convoys from other countries in europe are also heading into the

belgium capital. once again, to show their protests, their anger against these coven 19 restrictions. and the question now many may be asking, given that there is this overlap with some of the demand with what we saw from the yellow facets over the last few years as to whether this is the new convoy, the new protest, the could really wreck havoc perhaps not just here in france, but actually could extend now to other countries in europe. tea. independent journalist luc rivera told. busy us that if politicians don't listen, this could turn into another vast yellow vest style movement, and effect to the outcome of april presidential vote. the government jo, my whole scared stiff of having a repeat of what the live through the show, the yellow face period. you know, they're afraid of it because it is not only to call that situation and the fact that people are fed up with these restrictions. it's also the price of gas,

which was the origin of the yellow. it's the cost of life, which is crazy. is the inflation that makes it, that people get poor very quickly. and so this could mean havoc for government. do key fear off of mystery. my call is that with the elections in tomorrow, you could have the opposition attacking and surfing all the discontent of the people to re oust miss you. my home dice. wire to power and placing in from is very scared because of the election campaign, which is all fully now. russia's foreign minister says concerns expressed to british counterpart lives trust, fell on deaf ears as the 2 met in moscow to discuss rising tensions over ukraine and the case threat to impose quote, the toughest sanctions against russia. ortiz don quarter picks up the store force those julian, tim. still, i am disappointed that we seem to have dialogues between

a meeks and a deaf person. they seem to be listening, but don't hes look. almost detailed explanations have fallen on rough ground. they say that russia is waiting for the soil to freeze and become like a stone so that tanks can pass safely into ukrainian territory. but it seems that our british colleagues have the same sol today, from which numerous factors that we cited of bouncing few people if any would call thursday's meeting a productive one. at the top of the agenda, of course, were the proposals for security guarantees that moscow had put forward back in mid december. the main point of contention being that russia's asking nato not to move any farther eastward, specifically into the countries of georgia. and specifically here, ukraine, this is something that washington and nato have refused to do. and at the press conference laugh rob said that the west is negotiating exclusively on nato centric terms, and that they're unwilling to compromise. and simply that rush has been cheated for years when it comes to its national security and with relation to nato. now,

this also comes as the western media continues to carry out its campaign of hysteria around a legit plans for a russian invasion of ukraine. this is something that live rob, again reiterated what moscow has said time and time again, that it has no plans to invade. anyone, it simply doesn't want you crane to become a member state of nato. now on that point, leverage also said that kid has become actually a geopolitical pawn in a western game to destabilize russia. let's take a listen what he said. we do munitions up with them. okay. you're gam, apparently a western colleagues need presidency. lensky, only as a tool to pull russia out of balance that none seem interested in what he thinks negative consequences from oldest hysteria are impacting ukraine's economy in the national bud yesterday of steel. to see of the studio now as for trust, she said that her goal in moscow was to make as much progress as possible for a diplomatic solution. but right from the get go, she started accusing russia of being aggressive and of trying to undermine what she

called ukrainian democracy. most shocking of all though is that she demanded that russia prove that it's not being aggressive. talk about guilty until proven innocent minister latrell has said to me to day that russia have no plans to invade you crank. we need to see these words followed up by actions is vitally important that the u. k. in its nato allies are prepared for all events, humanities. however, i've also commented on a specific narrative of the west's ante, russia hysteria, specific story that's been going around the media claiming that russia has some concrete plans to lay siege to ukrainian cities, set up a puppet government, and even set up camps for disloyal ukrainians. just speak with you at super sure with you through their speculation, even in some respects media about some supposed operation that we're preparing to seize kids and all the other cities of ukraine. both will that some kind of who is

being prepared to install a puppet regime. so in the ukrainian capital, all this is from the narrative of so called highly likely earth as we should include the local. it's also important to keep in mind that for some time now the u . k has been supplying ukraine with some heavy weapons just last month as shipment of n law, anti tank missiles systems. what landed in ukraine and as early as wednesday, we actually saw another shipment of anti tank missile systems fall into the hands of the ukrainian military. now, while the u. k says that these are purely for defensive purposes. who knows what these weapons could be used for once they're in the hands of the ukrainian military, especially after a meeting like this one. britton's top diplomat appeared to be in need of a geography lesson during her talks with love rav reportedly confusing to russian regions with 2 in neighboring ukraine. you do recognize russia sovereignty over the rust of foreigners regions. then the united kingdom will never recognize ration

sovereignty over those regions. those regions have always been unquestionably part of russia. a fact that seemingly confused of the you case of foreign secretary. but despite trust, apparently apologizing for that mistake, it sparked a wave of criticism on the internet. many saying it was unbecoming for the u. k. 's highest ranking diplomat to make such a blunder. some wondered how she could go into such talks and not even know the names of the regions she would be discussing. former british home office minister norman baker explained to my colleague, dan hawkins, that all of this caps nato's 5 waves of expansion. perhaps not very good, i mean that's the reality of it. she's brought to you in the post and not somebody pointed out to try to do so. but looking at the whole situation a deeply on alco, she wasn't probably afraid to st. we've got the situation on the ground whereby the the, you can us dalia the rhetoric,

but also going to choice was on russian troops on the border for what reason? we don't know. so i don't think it's like this was on credit to us at the moment. do you think that mosque is becoming increasingly frustrated that it feel that it's being driven into a corner perhaps with what's going on? i think the objective view of the, of the ration development specially recent over the last 1020 years has been clearly that countries which were pretty was associated with them. so in union have one after the other become members of nature or the geography of the area clearly created extremely close to incentives, no extra russia next to brothers. so i don't understand why the sentence the russians might feel threatened by that. equally, it has to be said, however, then you end up a situation where breaking to, to, to be adopting rather how style style spoke domestic reasons. so both sides of the

room and appear to be interested in driving up the record that the world of the interest of math and both sides need to back down a bit or that does it for me this our, my colleague cohen brown will be here in about 32 minutes with a full and fresh look at your news. and of course our news team is staying across the situation in beijing and will bring you the latest on the camilla. the lay of a story you're watching, watching national. ah, ah ah, ah, bring you the very latest every out the day. this is i know everyone here with

algorithm. so neural networks have been following us every where we look online because our relationships are what matters most to us. that's how we find meeting and how we make sense of our place in the silicon valley. see, don't mention in that slick presentations. however, the ghost workers who train the self, where humans are involved in every step of the process when you're using anything online. but we're sold, as is miracle of automation behind your screen. it's a long rouble workforce that feeds algorithms for next to nothing. on a very good day, i could do $5.00 now. a really bad day. i can do 10. these workers are invisible by design. it's about labor costs, but it's also about creating layers of weston responsibility between those who solicit this kind of work and need it. and those who do it

with me to lick, shave, done. i did a national reason mortgage boys are my come on right now. come on, you were at the do not need to sit him. yes, the gray story doesn't last. so i'm going because i'm getting that possibly it's got to to go from dish and visit woburn totaling the war. so stating that they, him, did she water, you let the chest seasonal we use, i me to the graffiti is no smartphone. you don't get a bomb or from one little dome, it's a possible would she just lead slip g e se loom it's up home cracked charlie capture with him. the parliament trouble media boots are all right. yes. deputies only see other than english ethan sports. israel presidio.
