20 percent, or maybe even 40 percent. oh, pretty. that is true. it is a very dangerous thing. with breaking news. russia's figure skating federation says can deliver is innocent of any wrong doing oper, lab found she tested positive for a banned substance. the organization says they'll give the young athletes over help . they can clear political influence on the police to physically exert political will on peaceful protesters. i was just following orders is no longer an excuse. canadian officer slammed for government for forcing police to crack down on freedom. come void protests. the authorities continue to denounce the anti vaccine mandate, demonstrated in an attempt to end the movement. i'm britain tries to terra pate on russia, renewing threats of the worst ever. sanctions or the ukraine crisis, all the media that stokes the anti russian rhetoric by any means

with live and worldwide they says out international from moscow on calling bry 1st week of that breaking news from beijing to update you on the international testing agencies confirmed that the band substance tri met as a dean was found in a sample taken from brush and figure skater camida valley over in december. it comes off the metal ceremony for the olympics biggest skating team competition in which camilla one goal, was delayed due to what was then cited as an ongoing legal issue. let's get up to date on where we are. then ours is alexi, our chefs is in beijing. hi again, alexi. what about this statement is supposed to provide clarity, feels things more cloudy than ever. indeed, i agree. there are far more questions now than answers after the statement. we do have at least some confirmation of what is going on behind the scenes here because it's never been the case in the history of the olympic games. when a metal ceremony has been delayed for more than 5 days already, it happened

a last weekend and the, the, or actually to warn their metals haven't still received it. now the official side of the story was that a certain legal issue was being considered and prevented the outage from getting their metals. now, the idea that meant that in the morning shed some light on what exactly was going on. now i'll take you through this because it's a very convoluted process here. it's really hard to understand what is going on. and clearly some of the mainstream media outlets, and some journalists have already made their conclusions, brought up the hatchets and they're launching their attacks at russia. and particularly the 15 year old minor camila leave us now 1st and foremost the doping sample which was tested positive i was obtained from camila oliva on december 25th in st. petersburg, russia during the russian. i see the skating championship, which of course of leave a one comfortably and that a, by that in short hope participation in the olympic games that most bizarre part of

the story is that the positive results came back on february 8. and i have to explain here that since ru sada is rendered as noncom blind by the world anti doping agency, rasa had to send the sample to an accredited laboratory. that laboratory happens to be a laboratory in stockholm, sweden. so the biggest question here is as to why it took more than a month and a half to produce a result from that probe which was taken on december 25th. something which even the head of the russian olympic committee and his law was nichol stressed in his address address a just early on saying that usually according to the what a protocol a result from a doping probe should be conducted within 20 days. do the math, that means that should have been conducted by january 15th, the latest. why on earth that happened a month later? well, maybe that is the good reason for speculation and for

a more conspiracy theories, but at something definitely not right. he, according to the head of the russian olympic committee. the other point which we need to understand which is highly important is that this road happened before bay gene. and even before the european skating championship, where nobody ever also participated. all other doping tests, both in europe and here in beijing, all of them were negative. that was something confirmed by both the olympic committee and by the russian skating union. by the way, russian skating union produced this statement from us, which we can now listen to the russian figure. skating federation doesn't doubt the honesty and integrity of its athlete. we will make every effort to clarify the circumstances of what happened and will provide the athlete with the necessary comprehensive assistance and support. another hugely important point to understand here is that when the positive result came back again on february, 8th, rou sada, was following the international protocol and immediately suspended,

believe from further participation in olympic games. but the athlete filed an appeal and asked for an expedited process. and on february 9th rou, sada, allowed volleyball to continue her participation in the olympic games. there has to be a reason for that, that definitely it just cannot come out of nowhere. we are waiting for some sort of explanation from the side. of course we understand they have their hands full now, because we understand that both the international skating union and the international olympic committee have filed an appeal against from side as decision to allow volley. we're to participate in the games, and this is something that needs to be resolved by february 15th, the latest. that is, what ran female ice skaters will take to the rank in beijing to compete for the metals here. lead time, they will actually what about color herself? in less than a week, she's gone from that incredible games debut. that astonishing world 1st. and now her future hangs in the ballad. so what consequences is this going to have for

camilla valley ava? we still can hear not just about any, any skates. are we talking about one of the most talented skaters on the planet who wowed the crowds? both the sports related and ordinary, you know, common lovers of sport. we talked about last weekend. it was a historical performance of the 1st woman ever in the history of olympic gains to, to a double quad on the ice. and don't forget, she is 15 years of age and i have to tell you it's both heartbreaking to think what is running through. i had and disgusting at the same time. sorry for taking my gloves off. i just received information that went well eva was leaving the ice from the training this morning. several of a colleagues. i wouldn't even want to call them colleagues from the west. the media directed salty questions at her, they probably forgot that she's 15 years of age and probably has nothing to do with what's happened. and here in any case, there could be, ah, it could not be as bad as we all think. it is. first of all, because this

a substance trimester dean, which was found in believe a sample or from december 25th, it is also a medication which is used against angina or any kind of hard diseases. so if she has a medical exemption that is according to the water protocol, she may be able to use it and it will not be considered as doping. that is something that we need clarification from oral sada, because again, i don't think they are a suicide squad to allow a job. and i'm giving a quotation mark here athlete to participate in the gains that something they need to clarify for us. and secondly, let's not forget, valinda is a minus, she is just 15 years of age. so under water protocol, she's considered as a protective person. so if any punishment comes away, if she's found complicit of deliberately taking this medication and not informing the authorities of any medical re reason for that than a punishment in her case may be lightened. and also one important thing to understand that is coming from statements by the olympic committee by the russian

skating union. and pretty much everyone involved in this docile right now is that a deprivation of metals from the russian olympic team is not even considered at the moment. this is an individual case which could even be result after the beijing olympics is over. as you can see, there's a lot in the story, it's very terrible and there's a lot of twists and turns. i'm keeping my ear close to the ground here and i will keep you updated as soon as we get any more news. ok, of course, every hour counts for now, though, in beijing, alexia shasky. thank you. ok, well, let's now bring in dr. lucien w. baloney is a sports lawyer in switzerland. we spoke to him yesterday. he's got extensive experience in sports arbitration matters. dr. valerie, welcome back to our tea. can i ask you 1st? because you've dealt with the court of arbitration for sports on many occasions. the time is tight on this because the olympics are still under way. what has to happen and what kind of pressure is it on that? well, now we're, there must be an expedited procedure. and the both 40 must be heard and decision

must be taken before the next event, which is scheduled for february. that is what, what will happen, and then it's unfortunate that waldo beat a d i t t for the press about the name of the involves person i seen the she's not correct. what role do the russian skate figure skating federation on the r o. c. have to play in this because it's been tuning and throwing on suspensions and appeals. can you, can you repeat? i didn't know what, what role does the russian figure skating federation and the r o c play in this next step because it's been a lot of to ing and fro ing with suspensions and appeals. well, they will be quality of these procedure, of course, and they will bring the reason, especially result that will have to bring the reason why they did leave the

suspension they put in place in the 1st moment. and there must be a reason. and i assume there will be reasons to do that and if these are really good reasons, then they should put me in front of the court operation for support. and in your experience, can this be done rapidly or will questions then be asked or criticisms level that it, that it was all rushed? well here it's not really about the doping case as such because these will be dealt later on and we do not even know if there is a positive the sample test. i think there is not yet because the information was given on a very, very late, i must say. and that means that it has deal to route to request to be sample. so if there we can field positive test is not yet even decided. that means the court of

arbitration for support can only assess what will be perhaps the likelihood in their mind. what will happen with this case, which day will not be able to decide themselves. the only thing they can decide ease suspension for the next event, which will be the 15th december rent or not. and i think given, given the, the hearts tension and the big effects that we have, such as suspension, they should be very careful in determining this way. headline to the top of the russian figure. skating federation insists that camilla valley ava is innocent of any wrong doing now. there may be questions for other people a to be asked of that, but at this stage the duty of cash only needs to now absolutely kick in for this 15 year old. i'm sure she's capable of looking after herself because she's

a high profile athlete at the top of her game, but she still only 15. exactly. and i don't know why. why a i t 8 eastern for me really now because it's clear the rules are clear. pro minus have to be protected, and now by informing them saying that so rumors were there and a lot of media attention was given to that case. i think it's, it's long enough to disclose it because if you think about that now cos, ease deciding on the suspension for the next event. so they could have weight it of course, easily up to search this each is coming. if cost would have accepted the lease from the suspension of those other then nursing would have to be communicated and now they have the worst thing they could do day. they

also put pressure on cos now to make a decision and i think it is not in the best interest of use it. what is quite sad of the moment, just looking at the timeline on the on line over the past 24 hours and click beta articles that are being generated. it's generating more headlines than the sports themselves. is this going to cast a shadow over the entire beijing olympics? is this i wasn't going to end up being remembered? well, it's, it's sad, but ease. of course, it's a very, very big talent. and of course, every, every media attention to such stories important the, would it hurt or of course it hurts this person very much. and i saying this is not ok. this is not ok because this is no protection to what is what is actually going

on. and what can we do now? we have, we have to protect her as good as possible. i hope they will find the law in court . and let's see when decisions are made. will be bringing them live here on our safe. and i was good to talk to you and dr lucian w. baloney. sports or in switzerland. thank you. thank you. a while the investigation was ongoing. the i o. c. repeatedly asked the media to stop speculating on the case, but despite that, and despite any official ruling at the time american use broadcast to see and, and doesn't hesitate to dish have judgment from the get go. cnn has learned that a russian figure skater has failed a drug test, and that person is a minor. cnn has confirmed that the only minor on that team is the 15 year old camila eva russian olympic athlete supposedly tested positive as am i supposed to be surprised,

and cover the story sharing 15 year old with the lady's name and photo along with the accusations even though the i o c said she should be protected as a minor of the mainstream media outlets were also quick to follow. suit headlines made sure to link the youngster's name with doping. despite nothing, having been confirmed at that time legal, a media analyst line all 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, sheet 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 a minor to imagine the pressure of anybody to be the olympics. imagine that be 15 years old. 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 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 favey, this olympic event, it would really behoove you to say as much as you can to insinuate to imply to basically in p own 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, what other headline news now it is. protests paralyzing candidates. capital continue. officials looking at ways to deter supporters. the government's been granted a request to freeze one fundraising platform where freedom convoy 2022 was already

raised more than $8000000.00 us dollars for the protested. and on the streets of canada, dozens of a rest to be made and over a 1000 finds a huge, middling, sometimes resulting to force in order to detain, protested one canadian officer accuses of government of ignoring the fundamental rights of citizens, saying he can't follow those old as anymore, lots of so 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 for it. a party of canada has spent the last 2 weeks endorsing and enabling these blockades across the country. the consequences of these actions are having dire in house,

their impacting trade, they're hurting jobs, they're threatening our economy, and they're obstructing our community. my own focus on india. but as accusations of insurrection and even trees and fly in that direction, the truck, as it came to highlight the grass root support that protests getting from many people in ottawa from where john harding, i report 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. 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 candidates, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of protest, rules and policies. 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 and walk. the majority of the protesters we've talked and we've talked to many including trackers say have, have really maintain that this is a peaceful, protests 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 occur referred to it as sedition today. i think that's exactly what it is. this is theresa, really an insurrection? it's a, it's an attack on our democracy. it's an attack on our federal government. 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. oh, here you can see trucks blocking a major bridge in detroit, which linked the united states to canada, blockades coals, disruption to the supply chains of many firms, including call companies, ford and toyota. once a quarter of a convoy protest told us the people will stay and rally until their freedoms are restored. 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. this is decision and, and not sit there and avoid that could be issue. and yes, it is going to disrupt things and this puts 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 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 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. of the situation in canada's, in spite of similar movement in france, where police blocks a large convoy from entering the capital protest, us from the south atlantic, a vote on both paris and then on to brussels. ah, what belgium police now say that federal police will be responsible for checking trucks and calls crossing into the country in recent weeks, messages have been circulating on social networks, rallying support for freedom, cowboys, prompting police in paris to block them. 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 some protest us of a determined to fight home for their freedoms. plaintiffs are useless for sub my should. it's when i had to do my duty during the lot downs. i went to work and i caught covered 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. it was a lot to thank you so vaccine, the. every one who's been vaccinated has had health problems. what we want is for the journalists, the media to finally tell the truth of jenny, who were 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 those who are speaking out in support of our freedoms of britons preparing to expand and

strengthen it. sanctions against russia, despite yesterday, so called push for diplomacy talk that must go on the ukraine crisis. a new legislation gives the u. k. the power to target russian businesses and individuals written justifies the booth as confronting brush an aggression toward ukraine. moscow says it's the actions of the west and then military activities, the pro, the situation to this point with 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 facebook for decades. and today i agree with the secretary general, a package of support sending troops claims and ships to defend nato from north to south. in the meantime, west of medias jumping on the anti rush bandwagon, speculating on moscow's motives at every opportunity of his danny armstrong takes

to look at the most garish examples. still saying goes, see, no evil, hear no evil speak, no evil, but as 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 in my opinion is consent. who can forget the president's quote, some beauty insults with a manual micron, ask you to do it as p. f says they will comply with uminski agreements. then they say that this will destroy the country and the current president recently said that he doesn't like any of the clauses, whether you like it or you don't like it. bear with it. my beauty, you have to comply. the russian leaders stuff guy talk is sometimes explained away as a sort of falseness that is a performance for domestic audience but put his choice of bir or bit in his remarks on monday to take it or to endure shows and neglect underlying sentiment about the role of women plots from russian folk law putin's wears, what pulled

a pot and repackaged as miss such any and ugly machismo talk about this, he being in the eye of the beholder. as for the setting where some saw a white great table m s m. so a block was 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 is 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 is confusingly massive white table. then there was a 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 his by ukraine's president himself. actually saying the exact

opposite, but that as usual fell on deaf ears while she's used a ton to we have tanks on the streets. no. when you read media, you get the image that we have troops in the city. people fling, that's not the case. i'm the president of ukraine, and i am faced here, and i think i know the details better here. this outright refusal to listen resulted in mainstream use 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? but 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 rust of foreigners regions, don't you? the united kingdom will never recognize russian sovereignty over those regions. so as for seeing and hearing and speak, you know, evil when the world is seen through a western media tinted lens and geography isn't a strong point on this back job. russia top diplomat says it's hard to get through to western counterparts. littles jewel and 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 hair loosely so that way. well then this is collin bray, definitely. and moscow, i'll be back here with your next off, international global update in just over half an hour to see if

in ah, plenty more. they directly re sell, advertise as content to us and decide who sees what content when, and how much of it. facebook claims that these algorithms are there to learn about what our specific preferences. actually this is untrue. they are shaping preference . if tomorrow the person finds a fake poor legit video. when it's saying the earth is a flat, but in this context ranks huh. at least 20 percent or maybe even 40 percent good. that is true. it was a very dangerous thing. and

financial survival died. stacy littler about be allowed. let's say i'm actually in your group time grief on base of the fight. wall street broad. thank you for helping with enjoy that right. fill out her desk slavery. hey folks, next up, great comedian and a sabby business man. billy birds partner over there at their podcast network al madrigal and they've got, i think they've got 65 shows on the air now. all different levels, benz podcasting. it's the new prairie. people are out there and happening at now madrigals got a nice toe hold. he and bar good kat funny kat now magical right after this. and dennis miller plus one.
