3:00 am
for join us in the depths ah, or remain in the shallows. ah, ah, this is our see breaking this friday. russia's figure skating federation says it has no doubt commendable eva. is innocent of any wrong doing. despite her testing positive for a banned substance, organization says it's investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident. from now, russia's olympic committee is rating concerns over the timing of the test results because the sample was taken back in december, put any reveal to the last few days. also ahead to clear political influence on the police to physically exert political will on peace for protesters. i was just following orders is no longer an excuse. canadian officer slammed the government for forcing police to crack down on freedom convoy protests
3:01 am
. as the authorities continued to denounce the anti vaccine mandate demonstrators in an attempt to end the movement. and britain tries to turn up the heat on russia, renewing threats of the worst of sanctions over the ukraine crisis. while the media stokes, the anti russian rhetoric by any means with abbey, with us this friday, i'm calling brian, this is your world news from arte international. we're going to firstly start with our breaking news from beijing. the international testing agencies confirmed that the band substance tri met as a dean was found in a sample taken from russian figure skater camilla valley ava. back in december, it comes off to the metal ceremony for the olympic figure, skating team competition, which camilla one goal was delayed due to what was then cited as an ongoing legal issue. right, let's try and get you up to speed now on where we are asked is alexia chefs case in beijing for us. hi, that now we've got this statement,
3:02 am
but it seems to be leaving people with questions about what we don't know as much as about what we do know between the timing and who's staying tight lipped loads of questions still left colon, but i'll try to take all of us through at least what we know in terms of the facts and the statements. now. it was made public by the statement from the international testing association this morning that a camille of oliva, a 15 year old russian. i figure skater, not just the skate to bought an absolute superstar with absolutely stella performances, apparently a one of the robes that was taken from ha anti doping probes in december, in russia, in st. petersburg that happened on december 25th during the russian championship. which believe a warm comfortably as us insured her participation in the beijing olympics. so that prob, brought back a positive result for try me at, at zene, which is a band substance according to the wanda band substances list. the big question here
3:03 am
is that the positive result from that probe arrived on february the 8th. and i have to explain here, this is an absolutely crucial thing to understand before you start accusing the athlete and the rustling become each of any wrongdoing. this probe was taken on december 25th by the russian anti doping agency. as we know, sada is deemed noncompliant by water. and thus, according to the protocol, rasa had to send that probe to a certified laboratory. in this case, this was a laboratory accredited by water in stockholm, sweden. so the question is why it took more than a month and a half to produce a result on that probe. because according to the head of the russian olympic committee in his loft was new, cough, i caught a based on the protocol of water and based on how it's usually done, the results of doping tests should come within 20 days. so do the math. if that
3:04 am
probe was taken on the 25th of december, it should have been named should have been made public b before january 15th, the latest software to go. even alleged that such a timing was made deliberate after the figure skating team event of the olympics. where russia won gold with a half the margin and that's when a camila valley would go to the eyes and absolutely demolished. now the audience with her performance. now also we have a several se months for oh, oh oh, the body. it's also sad that okay, sadly we seem to have lost the connection with our correspondent alexi irish epsky in the bay jig we will return to of course in the coming hours as more action of filters through now have eric is anti doping chief, stated that if necessary,
3:05 am
he's ready to use an anti doping act which allows us authorities to prosecute foreign athletes or officials outside the country. of the same time, the russian olympic committee chief is questioning the timing of the test results. coming out, i have serious questions about the timing that passed between december 25th when the sample was given in st. petersburg and february 8th when it was made public. in accordance with international standards of the world anti doping agency laboratory . the deadline for loading sample a is 20 days from the date of receipt of the sample in the laboratory. it looks very strange that the test took almost a month to get from st. petersburg to stockholm. this raises very serious questions for me. i think it's interesting, we now know that date that the test was, was due on december 25. so the question is what, why is it so late? why? oh, why was it not reported in mid january?
3:06 am
you had the european figure skating championship in tell n a and the results should have been available for there. ah, it's no, it's no 6 or 7 weeks after the event of these results should have been should have been available long before now. so one question is, what, what was the, the cause for the delay? let's go back to beijing with back in touch with our correspondent the alexia or a chef ski lexi. you were explaining to us before we were losing the line there about some of the reaction and suspicious moves in all this. yeah, indeed. so we have a statement from the internet from the russian skaters union, which maintains vonny was in a sense, and this is what they had to say. the russian figure, skating federation doesn't doubt the honesty and integrity of its athlete. we will
3:07 am
make every effort to clarify the circumstances of what happened and will provide the athlete with the necessary comprehensive assistance and support another absolutely key moment that our viewers have to understand in this case was something that most of the media pundits here on the side in beijing are completely fading jaundiced fan branding, russia, and believe as diverse that this probe was taken by the russian anti doping agency . it was also the russian anti doping agency which on february 8th, when the positive result came back from that probe, immediately suspended. val eva from further participation in the olympics, the athlete and her entourage, a field against that decision, asked for an expedited process. and just a day later on february 9th roadside that reversed it's a temporary suspension and allowed, i believe, or to participate in the games. this is something that the i o c and the
3:08 am
international skaters union have filed an appeal against now to the court for our, of arbitration for sports. and ultimately, that's where the future fight of believe allies not only just in within the olympic games, but for the foreseeable korea future as well. they promised to bring her to deliver any decision on that before february 15th, that's when a female figure, skaters are to take to the ice for an individual run. and we're hoping that this decision will come by then, but it's already been a cause such an anxious, wakeful camilla. hasn't it starting off as the olympic favorite thing achieving that world 1st. and now hurling pick dreams hanging the balance, sort of the consequences that she faces. you're absolutely right that it has indeed gone from a universal wow about her performance from former athletes from media celebrities. every one tweaking about just how gracious she was. oh, nice. becoming the 1st woman in the history of the olympic games to do a double quad within one performance on the ice and she is just 15. he has the
3:09 am
range, believe it or not. now it's just an app, an absolutely different story. she was on the ice this morning for a training session in beijing, and when she was passing through the mix zone, she covered her face with a hood. believe it or not one of our colleagues, although i cannot really call this a bus and their colleague shouted at her in the mixed zone, are you clean? so imagine all this pressure falling on the shoulders of a 15 year old girl who most likely and i would say this was almost a 100 percent confidence. nothing asked to do. it has nothing to do with the ongoing situation now. it made me might seem old very bad and grin here, but let's not forget. there are several circumstances which are also very important . first of all, it was of the russian ain't. i'm hoping anti doping agency which allowed volleyball to participate in the games after the temporary suspension. so they are not a suicide squad. they do have some sort of reasoning behind that. and those could be actually several things. it might be
3:10 am
a medical condition that believe i had at the time i'm when she took time at as in which is not only just a van suffers by water. it's also a medication against angina, angina or a heart problems as well. and if an athlete has a medical exemption has a document proving that this was a medical condition, forcing him a hard to take that drug, then it's not considered as an illegal substance or a performance enhancing drugs. and now the key factor he has while is that all the other anti doping testing conducted on believe i, including the europe and skating championship in january, including the gangs and be engaging all of those brought negative results. so he and by jim she was participating, officially clean of any happy, decent her blood. and 3rd, probably even most important one. she is a minus, she is 15 years of age and even according to the waters that active person. so if any punishment come so way, if she's found complicit in a breaching the anti doping protocol,
3:11 am
the punishment in this case could be much softer. what i can tell you on the ground here is that according to the olympic committee or russia and many, many journalists on the ground with real insight knowledge of the situation. there is no talk whatsoever of stripping russia of the gold medal in the team event. it's more about the individual fate of cali value at the moment, and that is something, of course i'm following very closely here in the chunk of catalogue. that's how we get some of those answers soon because of some pretty vol. click base. it passed off as news of so, flooding the timeline at the moment for now they're in beijing, alexia shasky, thank you. of the russian figure skaters tested positive for a band substance, which is usually used in the case of angina or treating heart disease and may also be able to help athletes with recovery her r t. i discussed the issue with dr lucian w. baloney. the sports lawyer in switzerland, he believes that the case against the athlete is weak and she deserve to be protected. it's not really about the doping case as such
3:12 am
because these will be done later on then we do not even know if there is a positive the sample test. i think there is no, it's unfortunate that that wall dog beat a d i g h d to inform the press about the name of the involves person i sing the she's not right now. we media attention to such stories. important aid would eat herse or eat, of course church this person very much, and i seeing the she's not ok. these is not ok because this is no protection to what she's what is actually going on. and what can we do now? we have, we have to protexture as good as possible. i hope they will find the law in court. 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 at the time american news broadcast, the cnn didn't hesitate to dish out judgment from the get go. cnn has confirmed
3:13 am
that the only minor on that team is the 15 year old camila vi eva sienna, 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? see, an uncovered the story sharing 15 year old believe his 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 so quick to follow. suit headlines made sure to link the youngsters name with doping. despite nothing, having been confirmed at that time. legal media analyst lydel 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 alleged secrecy to
3:14 am
protect a 15 year old and we know everything we know this traumatized or 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 then 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 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 will 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
3:15 am
made privy to. it's despicable ah, as protests paralyzing canada's capital continued officials are looking at ways to deter supporters. the government's been granted a request to freeze one fundraising platform where freedom convoy 2020 two's already raised more than $8000000.00 us dollars for the protested. and on the streets of canada, dozens of arrests have been made and over a 1000 fines issue. quickly sometimes resorted to force detained. a one canadian officer accuses the government of ignoring the fundamental rights of citizens, saying he can't follow those orders any more. so i got it all on what is happening in order with the queer poor 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 and speak out
3:16 am
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. heard 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 have their impacting trade. they're hurting jobs, they're threatening our economy and they're obstructing our community. i am focusing on india, but as accusations of insurrection and even treason fly in that direction, the truck, as it came to highlight the grass roots support that, that protests getting for many people. and also where they say from my job hunting, i report. for like a dance party that had been a 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,
3:17 am
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 had made some arrest, but overall it's been a very like over the weekend, there were balancing hassles here. and there are families coming here and he 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 in iowa. are fighting against mandatory vaccinations for the trucking industry. it's really morph 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, roles 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.
3:18 am
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 protest. 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. and current 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,
3:19 am
new zealand. we're also hearing about chatter and talk about something similar potentially happening in the united states. a convoy may be 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. or here you can see trucks blocking a major bridge in detroit, linking the united states to canada. the blockades caused disruption to the supply chains of many companies, including major combat because like ford and toyota, one supporter of the convoy protests told us that people will stay and rally until their freedoms of restored. it would have been a, 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
3:20 am
is 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's and 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. was corresponded mentioned earlier. the situation in canada has in spot some of the movements abroad, including in france,
3:21 am
where police blocked a large convoy from entering the capital, protested from the south, had planned to converge on paris on brussels. ah, belton authorities now say federal police will be responsible for checking trucks and calls crossing into the country. in recent weeks, messages have been circulating on the social networks, rallying support for the freedom convoys fronting 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 french protest us who were determined to fight on for their freedoms. plato, so useful suddenly should it, when i had to do my duty during the lat 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,
3:22 am
the bus in arnold, 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 is often is anyhow, 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 those who are speaking out in support of our freedoms here. britain's preparing to expand and strengthen its sanctions against russia despite yesterday, so called push for diplomacy talks in moscow on the ukraine crisis. new deflation gives the u. k. the power to target russian businesses and individuals a britain justifies the movements confronting russian aggression towards ukraine. moscow says it's the actions of the west of their military activities, the broad, the situation to this point with nato members continuing their build up in the region. this is probably the most dangerous moment i would say in the, in the course of the next few days in what is the biggest security crisis that
3:23 am
europe has facebook for decades. and today i agreed with the secretary general, a package of support sending troops claims and ships to defend nato from north to south. and the mean time western media is jumping on the anti rush, a bandwagon, speculating on moscow's motives at every opportunity. are these, danny armstrong takes a look at the most garish examples. still saying goes, see, no evil, hear no evil speak, no evil. but that's definitely not the case with west and 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 mosquito who it is key of 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
3:24 am
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 verb or bit in his remarks on monday to take it or to endure, shows an ugly underlying sentiment about the role of women. quotes from russian folk law of hooton's words what pulled a pot and repackaged as miss such any and ugly machismo. talk about these, he being in the eye of the beholder. as for the setting where some saw a white great table, m. s. m saw 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 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,
3:25 am
there is vladimir putin and his 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 evasion 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. my, i'm 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 use broadcast, turning into weather forecasts. rash mutates as the term for the might have 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,
3:26 am
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. go stuck in the say, mod, maybe it explains why liz chose britain's foreign secretary, 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 all both allies across the black sea and randomly annex is russian regions. you do recognize russia, sovereignty of the russ stuff. i'm foreigners, region start. 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 will be seen through a western media tinted lens and geography isn't a strong point on the back job. brushes top diplomat says it's hard to get through
3:27 am
to western counterparts. middle school and i'm still, i'm disappointed that we seem to have dialogue between a mute and a deaf person. they seem to be listening, but don't hare loosely. they really didn't go well, that it right, that's how it looks so far this friday here at auto international from moscow. i'm calling bryan. have your next update in just over half an hour with bring you the very latest every out the day. this is our national phone, everyone here with
