ah, ah, breaking news, the international testing agency confirms in a statement that russian figure skater camila valley eva, did test positive for a band substance. we live in beijing and one minute to clear political influence on the police to physically exert political will on peaceful protesters. i was just following orders is no longer an excuse, a canadian officer slammed the government for forcing police to crack down on freedom convoy protests. as the authorities continued to denounce the anti vaccine mandate demonstrators in an attempt to end the movement, britain tries to set up a hate on russia renewing threats of the worst. deb sanctions over the ukraine crisis. well, the media stokes anti russian rhetoric by any means with

other good, happy with his life from moscow. this is the international i'm calling right 1st for you that we've got the breaking news from beijing. the international testing agencies confirmed that the band substance trying it hasn't been, was found in a sample taken from russian figure skater camila valley ava in december. right, let's get up to date on where we are. we can go live to beijing, now we can talk to our correspondent, alexey irish epsky, his forest. i, alexia, what, a 24 hours this is being. well, we'll get on to the consequences for come in in a moment. first, what can you tell us about this statement? well, the idea statements, i came out this morning in beijing and it might have cleared some things up, but in reality it made things even more complicated. i will certainly take you through the chronology that the idea statement a gave us now 1st and foremost, the sample with tremendous dean, a substance which is listed on the water bds list. as

a prohibit at substance was taken from camila leave a during the rush and skating championship on december 25th the championship, which she comfortably won, ensuring her participation in the beijing olympics. now the biggest question here and to meet the biggest mystery that the result, the positive results with that tremendous dean in her sample, came back on february 8th. so there's quite a distance in time between december 25th and february 8th. that is quite obvious, the timing of that is something that needs to be clarified and something i'm hoping will become clear in the nearest now future. now important to note here that m camila valley eva arrived to beijing participated in figure skating event, winning of the gold with her team. the a ceremony now has been delayed for more than 5 days, which is unprecedented in the history of the olympic games and all the official sources have been citing some sort of legal issue for until now. all the major

outlet over major instances involved in that the international skating union, the i o. c, the russian sports ministry, all have abstained from using the word doping. and that might be the case still because i'm trying that as a dean, as a drug, known as a medication against angina and heart disease, it's so that is still yet to be determined whether that was used by believe i as a p d, or might have been something else i'll get to that a bit later on. but we are anticipating a some sort of statement from the russian anti holding agency. the key thing to understand here in this story is that this sample was taking by rou, sada, not by any one else on december 25th in st. petersburg, russia. but because we're sada is not compliant by wanda due to the previous doping stories involving russia. and that is why, of course, russia's participating and beijing under the name

r o c russian olympic committee. because of that, the sample was taken to ela oratory, accredited by water in stockholm. that's where the dose of tremendous indian was found in value of a sample. according to my colleagues with an inside knowledge of the situation, that dose was tiny and all the consequent doping tests that while he was still during the european championship and even here in bay ging all tested negative. so obviously this is a story with so many twists and turns, despite all that some of already made up their mind. it seems, judging by what some of the media outlets, particularly in the west have been writing about this story so far. yeah. which will get on into just a moment. that chronology you mention means the big questions of for the decision makers, for the sport, for the games and all around. but of the heart of this, that is a 15 year old girl. the pressure right now on her must be immense. what consequences is this going to have for camilla valley? ava will tell you what it breaks my heart to even think about what is running

through her head right now. she's not just an escaped us. she's an apps to lu jam and the way she performed last week on the ice, already a historic performance because she's the 1st woman to do a quadruple jump during her performance at the olympics. and that is, you know, that never happened before it out. wow. could you know people over all over the world, including movie stars, including the former athletes, but the decision on believe us fate right now is in the hands of the court of arbitration for sports. it has an office in beijing. together with i o. c. there will review this case, that is something that has been confirmed by the spokesperson of international advocacy tomorrow. adams during morning mornings briefing on friday, and this case will build dealt workers quickly. the timeline has been set its february 15th when, ah, the women figure skating championship will take place here in beijing until then camila cavelatti was fake, has to be resolved. there's no ward whatsoever yet,

whether that concerns the fate of the russian olympic team. gold. many colleagues, again with inside knowledge said that this will not affect regardless of how situation goes. but here we need to understand one very important thing here. again, it was rou sada, who 1st took the sample and then under the regulations were sada, imposed an automatic suspension on camille of oliva basically meaning she would not be able to take part in the olympics that happened on february 8th and on february 9th val leave a one the appeal, so if she won the appeal, there must be some extenuating circumstances. there are several available including medical reasons because this is after all and medication before it becomes doping. it's also medication every athlete in the world. if it, if the awfully provides a medical document suggesting that this drug had to be taken for medical reasons that it's not considered as doping. that i'd have been the case off of oliva

because she won the appeal. and that means there is something in it which we don't know. the crucial thing here is some sort of statement from santa, which would explain exactly why they decided to allow their athlete to participate in the beijing olympics. i don't believe they are a suicide squad. they find doping, they suspend the athlete, and then they allow the, the acted with supposed it doping to take part in the olympics. there must be something here and that is something we are waiting for. anxious to hear any kind of statement from your side. of course i will keep you updated on everything going on, but the ultimate decision, of course, is in the hands of the cost and the i ok. yeah, we need something pretty soon. don't wait because the mean time, the over the past 24 hours that poll girls named being dragged through the mud and it's cost to pull, no doubt over the atmosphere at the olympic village, i will let you get back across reaction in beijing for now the alexia shasky, thanks for that. now, as sir lexi was mentioning that while the investigation was ongoing, the i r c repeatedly asked the media to stop speculating on the case. despite that,

and despite any official ruling american news broke up, the cnn didn't hesitate to dish out judgment from the get go. cnn 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, i'll say, and uncover the story, sharing 15 year old value of his name and photo along with the accusations, even though the i o c said she should be protected as a minor or the mainstream media outlets were quick to follow suit to headlines, making sure to link the youngsters name with doping despite nothing, having been confirmed at that time. well let's go live now to sports columnist out more who's been closely following developments, sir? hi there, alex. good to have you on our t. sorry. it's in such circumstances though, we got a 15 year old who's no doubt under the most pressure of any teenager at an international event like the olympics or what do you make the statement from the

testing agency in particular, the time frame between when that test was taken and the laboratory revealing the results. yeah, going. i spoke with people, one, conduct my pass and i asked them wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. and they said they believed that there was an issue for the use of this message taken by the stager. this was initially by the we do know that there are, there are costs and situations like this for remember in the last year or so. she got her medicine, which was a home game where she got you are always case where

a lot these medicines are quite dangerous use for anyone. use your age. so people trying to figure is it for read or is it we're not trying to take away the course as possible in terms of the parents for the day and you know, try to away and on as a very neat immediately within the rush. and then it just, you know, because you know, as a journalist leaks can lead and stories like this is difficult to keep a lid on it. but in terms of the responsibility of the coverage of bearing in mind with dealing with a 15 year old girl here, i would you assess the coverage terror? i see. well, respect to the holding fee work would be for for example, say you know, i refuse to name the minor who has. so as soon as you see minor,

wanting to look or we can hear you fine, there's only one minor on the russian skating team. so you don't her so it's been asked to be terrible yesterday or we can be paid already been changed. she has been going. and so while we were supposed to do lives, in any case, if she is she is in here with angina, joiner, i guess i never heard before. so it is a condition difficulty problem. we have, we saw some she went to 6 weeks ago for it. it can be used for marking agents, so just raise your questions as well, like what else was in the system? what was happening? and because i think it's a young girl, she's a minor, she looks well. she was having the ghost in her courses. so it just

sells at this moment when you receive great questions and did is the only order you're going to actually need because it's great news to be able to sell advertising, get fleet and, and be, are times loneliness, i suppose, her age aside being a high profile athlete, competing in a high profile event, our identity was bound to be released at some point anyway, but she's still in her formative years. what effect is something like this going to happen on korea? do you think? i 1st of all, i'm trying to use disease at least for if she has to take medication to be able to compete questions or whether her coaches and team any case like in the age of 50 and for being a resaler,

children repeating and skateboarding want to 12 year to date. that's when you should be as like, you know, you know, playing on top or you should never with the most pressure arms. so i did the streaming done for mentally as well as physically, i think, you know, when d, let's just say media, especially when you look at mental health, mental health, mental health at this stage, they really do not care and the destruction of your wallet. i think delightful. surely there should have been a, a duty of care because she's not the only young athlete at the olympics. of course, there should be some mechanism in place to make sure that even if these things are going to swirl around the media and they are serious issues to tackle that, it's not for a child to tackle alone over sure. for sure. i know it offered credit to you can be there. your people don't very good job to try to play.

so essentially the community law they have don't i have to say my times criticize a good job. you no doubt that down because we're getting in for a new cycle, which needs this information, so they're desperate to get her coaches had a very, very few more understand the conversation. this is cindy gra enjoy and she wants to we, we weren't to be. we just guard for they explain themselves, it could all really make it easier. but also in the case of the, the, our chinese nationality with usa. she's been caught in the us media. she's not even university yet. she has not spoken as the human rights in china,

asking it 18 year old will do this. so if you want them to all do not terrible. i don't. so the media are looking for the coaches can put to bed very quickly if they had the courage or meantime though, i suppose in the next 24 hours, the news hung as any going to excel right, isn't it will be across that for now though out of multiple column, it's thanks for joining us. ah, on what are the headline news now in his protests, paralyzing canada's capital continue. officials are looking at ways to to, to support us. the government's been granted a request to freeze one fundraising platform where freedom convoy 2022 has already raised more than $8000000.00 us dollars for the protest as other sites adamant that the money raised will still find its way to the movement. no,

this canada has absolutely 0 jurisdiction over how we manage our funds here and give send go all funds for every campaign on give send go flow directly to the recipients of those campaigns. not least of which is the freedom convoy campaign. i was a reported a couple of days ago. wanna tend to raise money on go fund me was taken down last week on the streets of canada. dozens of arrests have be made send over a 1000 fines issued a one canadian officer accused the government of ignoring the fundamental rights of citizens, saying he can't follow those orders any more. what is happening in ottawa, with a clear political influence on the police to physically exert political will on peaceful protesters is so very wrong on so many levels. i was just following orders is no longer an excuse. it is time to stand up in speech owed 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, but as accusations of insurrection and even treason fly in that direction. the truck is a cain to highlight the grass root support that the protest is getting for many people in also up as john audi reports next, more like a dance party than men approach us 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 hassles 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 going to be a wrapper rabbit 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 ottawa are fighting against mandatory vaccinations for the trucking industry. and it's really morphed into a much greater protest over canadas, coven 19 restrictions. and now a pretty fiery and intense debate about candidates, 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 have even told me we stand in support

of these truckers so it's a very, very difficult situation for police and walk. the majority of the protestors we've talked 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 org nizer sang, give him a wide berth fox. we don't want to do anything. they're just doing their jobs, respect, and let's not try to intimidate then there's more of us then there are of them and relate. that's 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 vac 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 theresa and really an insurrection. it's a, it's an attack on our democracy. it's an attack on our federal government. again, the 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. well, here you can see trucks blocking a major bridge in detroit, lincoln the united states to canada. the blockades cause disruption to the supply chains of call companies including ford and toyota. i want supporter of a convoy protest told us the people will stay and rally until their freedoms 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 that could be 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 are 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 rates of 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. how the situation candidates in spite a similar movement in france, where police blocked a large convoy from mentoring the capital protested from the south. the plan to convert above paris and then on to brussels. ah,

a belgian authorities now say federal police will be responsible for checking trucks and calls crossing into the country. in recent weeks, messages have been circulating all social networks, rallying support for the freedom convoys from police in paris to block them. ah, 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. we had from processed us who were determined to fight on for their freedoms. go to school, every one has been vaccinated has had health problems. what we want is for the journal as a the media to finally tell the truth. we're supporting the freedom con blight. we're so glad to see this happening in canada and now in europe in the world, we're here to support all those who are speaking out in support of our freedoms lena for youth. when i had to do my duty during the lock downs,

i went to work and i cut coven! there. i was one of the heroes back then i. but now i'm not even treated like a citizen, and i don't understand how we went from that side to this one on britain's expanded and strengthened it sanctions against russia despite yesterday. so cold push for diplomacy. talk said moscow on the ukraine crisis. a new legislation gives the u. k . the power to target russian businesses and individuals. a britain justifies the move as confronting brushing aggression towards ukraine. moscow says it's the actions of the west and their military activities. the brought the situation to this point, nato members continuing that build up in the region. this is probably the most dangerous moment. i would say them in the course of the next few days in what is the biggest security crisis that europe has faced for decades. and today i agreed with the secretary general, a package of support sending troops, planes, and ships to defend nato from north to south. main time western media jumping on

the panty, russia bandwagon. speculating on moscow's motives at every opportunity. ortiz, danny armstrong, takes a look at the most garish examples. still saying, goes, see, no evil, hear no evil speak, no evil. but it's definitely not the case with west in mainstream media who strain the eyes and is to detect malice and militancy in everything that russia says or does almost without exception. and that goes doubly so for when one flat a mere person is consent. who can forget the president's quote, some beauty insults with a manual micron, asking you to do it as to little similar to whether you like it or don't like it. bear with it. my muted the russian leaders tough guy talk is sometimes explained away as a sort of focusing as that is a performance for a domestic audience. but putin's choice of verbs are bit free in his remarks on monday to take it or to endure shows an ugly underlying sentiment about the role of women plots from russian folk law. hooton's where's what pulled apart and

repackaged as miss such any and ugly machismo? talk about beauty being in the eye of the beholder. as for the setting where some saw a white great table, m. s m. so a blog post the villain on a throne of fear. for those at the top decor and furniture can be tools to impress, charm and intimidate the terrifying seat of power in game of thrones as a towering iron chair forged from the melted swords of defeated enemies in the james bond series villains are known for decorating their headquarters with shark aquariums in real life. however, there is vladimir putin and his confusingly massive white table. then there was the west, blind faith in a russian invasion of ukraine. you remember the imminent one that never actually turned up? russia could launch an attack on ukraine. any day now, russian invasion of ukraine would be a rhythmic that was this by ukraine's president himself actually saying the exact

opposite. but that as usual fell on deaf ears while she's used it down to we have tax on the streets. no. or when you read media, you get the image that we have troops in the city. people fling, that's not the case right on the president of ukraine. and i'm based here, and i think i know the details better here. this outright refusal to listen resulted in mainstream news broadcast, turning into weather forecasts. rasputin as the term for the mud of spring when travel in russia and ukraine by road becomes more difficult, usually its impact is most felt in march. as the snows begin to melt, military analysts are debating whether a continuation of the mild winter might affect any plans for inoffensive. so do they actually think putin would invade on horseback? well, that could also be the reason why diplomacy between the kremlin and the u. k. got stuck in the same mud. maybe that explains why liz chose britain's foreign set crit

tree. use the world on a murky map, which places baltic states on the black sea. we're all say supplying and offering extra support into our baltic allies across the black sea. and randomly, annex is russian regions. you do recognize russia sovereignty over the roster of foreigners regions, don't you? the united kingdom will never recognize russian sovereignty over those regions. so as for seeing and hearing and speaking, oh, evil. when the world is seen through a western media tinted lens and geography is now a strong point on the backdrop brushes, top diplomat says it's hard to get through to west than counterparts. littles jewel on. teamster. i am disappointed that we seem to have dialogue between a mute and a deaf person. they seem to be listening, but don't hare north american drug making joint. pfizer is slashing jobs in italy despite the company forecasting $54000000000.00 and cope related sales this

year. from its vaccine and the antiviral pill, the factory insisted, cecily produces penicillin and antibiotics for hospitals. but shedding $200.00 jobs workers are at a loss of what to do. my cycle sa, i'm very upset because despite 36000000000 dollars in convert vaccine sales, 230 people were sent home. this is crazy. the workers have no hope left. they have families fully in london. barrett press at the time we learned about the dismissal via whatsapp groups without official announcement, the company didn't even tell us anything until today. these are people with families, children, mortgages, to pay or thrown into the street from one day to the next. the, the company suddenly made the step, despite making large profits recent years, school yell dod through hardening for 2 years. the company has been behaving strangely like an ostrich hiding its head in the sand. unfortunately, we are already noticed that the company did not make investments. and was hardly

interested in catania in regarding our job. we are practically out of work and we don't know what to do. there are no other companies here in sicily hiring. it makes me angry to see a company that has made so much money and now decides to lead people off. it's certainly not a company in trouble. this whole situation isn't. and justice wise, as income doubled in 2021 compared to the previous 3 years. thanks to his cobit vaccine developed with germany's by on tech or the companies received substantial public aid in various forms to get the drug to market. the italian politician we heard from asking why the state isn't doing anything about the redundancies was probably mean to fight it. because then when the fire the planting catania announced a 130 staff cuts, we were faced to the double paradox. and a big farmer giant that is, bo huge profits during this pandemic with help from public funding sending home its workers. what does the state do? nothing. the state right now is without it industrial policy. without the bill.
