ah, ah, russia's figure skating federations that it has no doubt camilla valley of the innocence of any wrongdoing. despite her testing positive for a band substance, the organization, se there's investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident. clouds rushes olympic committee is raising concerns over the timing of the test results, as the thought was taken back in december, but only revealed in the last few days. also had to clear political influence on the police. physically exert political will on peaceful protesters. i was just following orders is no longer an excuse. a canadian police officer slammed the government over his crack down on the freedom convoy protest movement. whereas the authorities step up their efforts to end the persistent rallies against coven vaccine mandates. and britain turns up the heat on russia renewing it,

threats to impose the harshest the ever sanctions against moscow over the u. praying crisis as the mainstream media follows in lockstep pershing the government's usual ante russian rhetoric a very welcome from our team here and most good. this is all the international with the latest world news update is great to have you with us. now the international testing agency has confirmed that a band substance was found in a sample taken from russian figure skater camilla valley ever back in december, the agency says it was forced to address swirling media speculation. following the delay of the meadow ceremony for the olympic figure skating team competition in which camilla won gold. however, the test result is any serving to raise more questions than answers. as alexi are safe ski reports from basic. there are far more questions now than the 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 athletes who won 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 statement that is in the morning shed some light on what exactly was going on. now 1st and foremost, the doping sample which was tested positive i was obtained from camila leave or on december 25th in st. petersburg, russia, during the russian, i figure skating championship, which of course of leave a one comfortably and that a by that ensured her participation in the olympic games. the most bizarre part of the story is that the positive results came back on february 8. and i have to

explain here that since rasa 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 and become just in his lot was nicol 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. this broke happened before bay gene, an even before the european skating championship, where glen eva also participated, all other doping tests, both in europe and here in beijing. all of them were negative. that was something

sometimes 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. that 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 now both the international skating union and the international olympic committee have filed an appeal against ro, 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 an female i skate is, will take to the rank in beijing to compete for the metals here. you'll understand that isn't it. it's not because she's a protected, personal minor on those that's very important. and i hope that people respect that . and that's why we've not been able to communicate virtually a tune up until now. and that's why also because of the speculation, the media about the name. so 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 sports related and ordinary, you know, common lovers of sport with our performance last weekend. it was a historical performance for the 1st woman ever in the history of olympic gains to do 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, in any case, there could be, it could not be as bad as we all think it is. volleyball 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 or deliberately taking this medication and not informing the authorities of any medical reason for that than punishment in her case, may be lightened. 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. americas anti doping chief is already floating . the idea of suing russian athletes. thank he's ready to use an anti doping law that allows you esl authorities to prosecute foreign athletes. so officials outside the country at the same time, the russian olympic committee chief is questioning the timing that 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. here it's not really about the doping case as such because this will be done 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 the very well laid. i must say, and that means that actually has deal to write to request to be so. so if there is a confused causative test is not yet even decided,

that means the court before duration for sport, 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 iran, which will be the 15th december rent or not. and i think given, given the heart tension and the big effects that we have, such as suspension, there should be very careful in determining this well they detected substance try and met as athene is usually used to treat heart disease and angina. but it may also help athletes recover from strenuous training. investigative journalist rec, sterling believes that the circumstances of how the medicine got into the russian skate his body could become clear when the quantity is made public. why would an

athlete take a medication? that is of no value and that they know is on the prohibited list. the answer made to that may come when we learn, presumably, hopefully learn the quantity of gmc, it's all know, also known as that, that was found was it wasn't a trace amount or what was a substantial amount. if it was a trace amount, it's been shown to be the case that some migraine headache, medical pedant pills, and also some vitamin supplements have been found to have contain traces of pro methods of d and well, while the investigation was ongoing, the i o. c, repeatedly asked the media to talk speculating on the case this point that says, any official ruling american news broadcast, see, and then didn't hesitate to shout judgment from the get go. cnn has confirmed that the only minor on that team is the 15 year old camilla. eva fina has learned that

a russian figure skater has failed a drug test. and that person is a minor russian olympic athlete, supposedly test the positive as am i supposed to be surprised, said uncovered the story, sharing 15 year old valley, a value of his name on photo, along with the accusations. even though the i see said she should be protected, other mine the other mainstream media outlets were quick to follow. suit headlines, make sure to link the youngsters name with doping. despite nothing. having been confirmed that that time legal media analyst line saved the waste in and handle, 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

protect a 15 year old. and we know everything we know there's 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 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. well, social media users have been expressing widespread support for camilla valley ever asked her fate hangs in the balance. there's now a hash tag saying that with camilla and this trying time as blog as say, the 15 year olds doesn't deserve to go through this ordeal. as protests, paralyzing canada's capital continue, officials are looking at ways to deter support as the government has been granted a request to freeze the access to money on a fundraising platform where freedom convoy 2022 appeal has already raised more than $8000000.00 us dollars. and on the streets of canada, dozens of arrests have be made and more than a 1000 fines issued with police, sometimes resorting to force to detain. protest is one canadian officer accuses the government of ignoring the fundamental rights of citizens, saying he can't follow. there's orders that he will not at all on video. 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 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. 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 impacts there, impacting trade, they're hurting jobs, they're threatening our economy, and they're obstructing our community. my focus on india. but as accusations of insurrection and even trees and fly in that direction, the truck as

a came to highlight the grass would suppose they say that protest is getting from many people in also from why don't heidi now referrals, or like a dance party than better protest right now, i mean to be honest with you, which has 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. 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 more into a much greater protest over canada's 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 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 protesters we talked and we talked to many including trackers say hadn't 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 present really an insurrection. it's a, it's an attack on our democracy. it's an attack on our federal government, pushy 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 dc, possibly disrupting the super bowl or even prisoner 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. and here you can see trucks blocking the busiest trade route between the us and canada, the ambassador bridge near detroit, which carries more than

a quarter of old trade between the countries. a blockade has caused disruption to the supply chains of many companies, including car making giants, ford and toyota, one supporter of the convoy, protest told his 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 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 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 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 all corresponded highlighted earlier. the situation in canada has inspired similar movements abroad, encoding france, where police blocks convoys from entering the capital. protest is from the south, had planned to converge on paris and brussels. ah, belgian authorities now say federal police will be responsible for checking trucks and calls crossing into the country. and recent weeks messages have been circulating on social networks, rallying support for the freedom convoys, prompting police in paris to temporarily bound the old demonstrations 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 heard from some of their friends protested to say that determined to fight on for their freedoms, planar. so yours was full sub my. should it's when i had to do my duty during the lockdown, so 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, and i don't understand how we went from that side to this one on the bus in our lot to thank you so vaccine it. 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, you know, 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. what british defense secretary ben wallace is in moscow for urgent

negotiations with his russian counterparts. they're gay, sugar and made escalating tensions over ukraine. the day off, the britain and russia's top diplomats also met in the russian capital for similar talks. while it was also to speak with the russian military chief of the general staff of valerie gerda, asked him of as moscow 6 to security guarantees including preventing ne toes eastward expansion. while not while london was to make sure russian troops do not and to neighboring ukraine. last time, a british defense secretary visited moscow with more than 2 decades ago and made heightened terrorism concerns following the 911 attacks on the you in the u. s. but now the u. k is threatening his harshest ever sanctions against russia as a deterrence against impose that aggression towards ukraine. this is probably the most dangerous moment. i would say that in the course of the next few days in what is the biggest security crisis that europe has facebook for decades. and today i

agreed with the secretary general, a package of support sending groups claims and ships to defend nato from north to south wall. in the meantime, western media is jumping on the anti russia band wagons, speculating on moscow's motives at every opportunity ortiz donny, armstrong takes a 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 m a person is consent . who can forget the president's quote, some beauty insults with a manual micron rescue to view it as key of says they will comply with the minsk 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 folks in us 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 words what pulled a pot and repackaged as miss such any and ugly machismo. talk about b. c 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 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. my friday, 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? well, that could also be the reason why diplomacy between the kremlin and the u. k. go stuck in the same mod. maybe it 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 recognise 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 backdrop brushes, top diplomat says it's hard to get through to western counterparts, little jewel and tombstone. 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 long drug making giant pfizer is flushing jobs initially despite the company forecasting $54000000000.00 in covert related sales this year. from his vaccines and anti barrow pills. that factory and sicily produces penicillin and antibiotics the hospitals and is at shedding $200.00 jobs. workers are at a loss at what to do. mosacco sammy saab, i'm very upset because despite 36000000000 dollars in covet vaccine sales, 230 people were sent home. this is crazy. the workers have no hope left. they have families for leah in under a barrel president. we learned about the dismissal vi 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 study. the company suddenly made the step, despite making large profits in recent years. yet al thawed. we are now for 2 years . the company has been behaving strangely, like an ostrich hiding its head in the sand. unfortunately, we had already noticed that the company did not make investments and was hardly interested in catania 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 lay people off. it's certainly not a company in trouble. this whole situation isn't and justice she to my while fi as income doubled in 2021 compared to the previous 3 years thanks to his coven vaccine developed with germany's by on tech. the companies even received substantial public aids to get the drug to market. and italian politician we heard from wants to know

why the states allegedly doing nothing about the redundancies. mister abilene defies it because i am when the pfizer plans in catania and outs a 130 staff cuz we were faced to the double paradox. again, a big farmer, joy and that is, bo huge profits. during this pandemic with help from public funding was sending home its workers. what does the state do? nothing for the state right now is without industrial policy, without the ability to protect workers. and it does not care about the future of workers, c, a, b, l o, a french t, v journalist, and her interview. we have been placed under police protection after they received a number of death threats about their documentary on radical islam in northern france. ortiz at charlotte events k, spoke to the reports, made thicker. this is one of francis poorest towels in its glory days. it was a tax doll giant. now it's to come to urban decay with radical islam,

apparently know seeping through society to bay, according to some politicians these afghan sound just a few hours from paris. the spotlight on this northern french town, starting with a t v documentary that was on the rise of radical islam. now amongst the revelations that was shown were restroom foods with coatings to shield women from men, seeing them shari'a more compliant faces. toys being sold in shops, the fraud resulting threats against the journalist, also against this whistleblower who now lives in the shadow of police protection. i mean albuquerque, expose a so called educational institution that will say spread radical ideology. the town of ruby had given more than 60000 euro to an association which had the pretext of a tutoring course, who was doing an arabic language course in reality and behind that,

according to an investigation conducted by the prefecture. it was about a course on the koran, but the authorities in france aren't allowed to finance religious activities. is it just the tip of the iceberg of these kind of problems him products mostly about? it's not only a problem, and rubin is a problem in many areas of france. why? because the state isn't that the states hasn't invested in these areas. the states is abandoned some areas in a number of places. we let them get home with it right next door. when you are very poor person, when you feel excluded from society, abandoned by the states. and if someone comes along to offer you a hand, you don't have a choice in where to take that help, whoever you don't really know whether there is something behind the hand, an ideology or something. i mean, it feels strongly that in action, not just by the government of the manual, michael, but own but decades his left front in the grip over radicalism. his allegations

have seen him labeled an infidel. off the report was broadcast received many messages, hey calls and then are subject to the threats. notably, threats of physical violence and death threats. my telephone numbers, broadcast on social media. and after that, the photo of me was shared everywhere. and there is still extreme over his allegations were bottles of the documentary has blue me issue out of proportion. there is also a fear that it is health, anti islamic rhetoric become even more normalized in the heat of the current candidate. this goes out race towards the presidential elections that take place in april. now, despite the threat, i mean says he has to continue.
