find themselves well to part. we choose to look some common ground. with 2 days of our real carpet bombing is imminent, followed by ground operation, that would take care of us national security devise a speculator with a startlingly precise prediction on russia like an invasion of ukraine and the usual complete lack of evidence process. figure skating federation says it has no doubt commendable, ever. is innocent of any wrong doing this by testing positive for by and substance . the organization says it's investigating the circumstances around the incident. for this, our rush has an impact committees raising concerns over the timing of the test results as the samples were taken back in december. but we reveal in the last few days 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 police officer slammed the government over it crapped out on the freedom convoy protest movements. where is the authorities that out there at the end the persistent rallies against cobra vaccine mandate. ah, just going to 11 pm here in moscow. thanks for joining us on auto international. and daniel hawkins, wherever you are this evening, welcome to the program of the us national security device. a has laid out a raw the diesel prediction of what he calls the one in russia invasion of ukraine . and jake sullivan went into disturbing detail of what he expects to your question about what type of action it would be. we'd been clear that it could take a range of different forms, but i want to be equally clear that one of those forms is

a rapid assault on the city of key. that is a possible line of attack course of action that the russian forces could choose to take. they could also choose to move in other parts of ukraine as well. when i respond don't course joins me in the studio. donald, thanks for coming in. this is been somewhat like a pendulum as just days ago, the us was saying that not expecting imminent rush of asian now it's carpet bombs out a mall song. ukraine on key of rather where do we start at this point? yeah, absolutely. some startling stuff. we're hearing come out of the united states. i mean, it looks as if washington is doing everything in its power to grip its people in the world in fear. i mean, just without providing any evidence whatsoever, besides basically saying, trust us, the what the white house is said that a russian invasion of ukraine is just likely to happen as soon as the beijing winter olympics. let's take

a listen to what exactly they said. an invasion could begin at any time. clear that includes during the olympics, any american citizens who remain in ukraine should leave now. now the statement comes just so you know, not so long after the white house actually told the american citizens that are in ukraine, that they should get out of the country as soon as possible, because a russian invasion is eminent. that's what they claimed. and they also said that the u. s. military isn't going to assist them in any way in this event. this is all despite the fact that russia has been very busy conducting diplomacy all week micron. the french president manuel micron visited on monday yesterday. there was a visit from the u. k. foreign secretary list trust. and today, there was the meeting between the defense secretaries of, of the defense secretary of the u. k. and the defense minister of russia. so, when live rav yesterday said that negotiating with the west is like speaking with a deaf person, i mean, it really does seem like that little sugarland, tim. still,

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. almost detailed explanations have fallen on rough ground. they say that russia is waiting for the soil to freeze and become like a stone said that tanks compassed safely into ukrainian territory. it seems that our british colleagues have the same sold today, from which numerous factors that we cited of bouncing the white house says the bite and is going to make an emergency phone call to putin to try and work out. this situation that washington claims as an imminent russian invasion, while on the russian side, they have, you know, have time and time again denied having any plans to invade ukraine. i mean, one has to ask, what's the point of all this? why, why is washington doing this? is it? is it to look as if it's the hero in the end, solving some big problem? the server certainly looks like that because once again, washington is accusing russia planning some sort of false flag operation. we are

firmly convinced that the russians should they decide to move forward with invasion or looking hard at the creation of a pretext, a false flag operation, something that they generate and try to blame on the ukrainians as a trigger for military action. and we're calling that output. it's important to mentioned that this is not the 1st time the u. s. has accused russia of planning a fall flag operation, and it's not the 1st time of course that no false flag operation took place. the most recent one was last week when washington accused russia of this. but while it seems like you know, the us politicians are in hysterics about an eminent russian invasion. i mean, it's good that just just today we saw how the russian defense minister was just in a very diplomatic mood in dealing with the u. k. defense secretary, he said that it's very simple to, to, to, you know, reduce tensions around the ukraine conflict. the west has to stop arming. the we'd

like to propose a step towards reducing tensions, and then the pumping up of ukraine with weapons from abroad. that's being done publicly and significantly, and it's not entirely clear why. i'd also like to understand why britain has deploy special forces to ukraine and for how long they will be there. so at the same time while we're, the white house is saying that it's, it's trying to prevent a war at the same time, it's spreading this extreme hysteria. it's the the, the highest point. this is, terry has been ever is right now. perhaps the better way to prevent war might be to return to the negotiating table and data so crucial time for to go stations and time to find common ground and compromise. don't quarter the attacks for that up. the overall muscle of the u. k. independence party says even ukrainians are tired of the war claims. i think the talk between the 2 defense ministers, ben wallace, on his counterpart to moscow,

see to go better than the talks between liz traverse and blocked off a couple of days ago. but obviously, we're still nice, you grounds here, but what needs to happen is there needs to be more dialogue that needs to be more sensible conversations, whether that stood out in the open, like these talks, or whether they're drawn behind, closed, or like i spect will happen what do i need to happen? is sensationalism. so you see rattling like we've seen from joe biden. i think i think you said that things could go crazy very quickly and encourage people, american citizens to lead ukraine, which is start of what i will, hon. the countries convey and leave ukraine to respond to and i think, you know, in many ways, i mean the ukrainians are getting federal with this as well. i mean, ukrainian president actually says that western politicians and west media outlet to dial down the rhetoric and be sensible about all this because all they're doing is,

you know, it's, it, they're trying to rushes headlong into conflict. and the last thing that we want the international test agency is confirmed. a banned substance was found in a sample taken for russian figures to leave a back in december. the agency was, it was forced to address warning media speculation following a delay of the metal ceremony. for the olympic figure skating team competition in which come in one goal. however, the test result is only 7 to raise more questions than answers that actually shasky reports from beijing. 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 that meant that in the morning shed some light on what exactly was going on. now 1st and foremost, the doping sample which was tested positive was obtained from camila, while eva on december 25th in st. petersburg, russia during the russian ice figure skating championship. which of course of leave a one comfortably and that a, by that in short hope 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 locker 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. this prob, 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 some 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. val eva from further participation in olympic games. but the athlete filed an appeal and asked for an expedited process and on february 9th, through 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

will respect that. and that's why we've not been able to communicate virtually a tune up until now. but, and that's why also because of the speculation, the media about the name and the whole story, the actually the chase will fit to put out a clarification statement. we talk in here, 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 without profound last weekend. it was a historical performance as 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 i, in any case there could be, it could not be as bad as we all think it is while eva is a minor, 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 a 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, on it. i think chief is already floating already or of sibling russia athlete. so he's willing to use an anti doping law, allows us or forty's through, prosecute for athletes, or officials outside the country. at the same time, the russian olympic committee shave whose crushing 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. here it's not really about the doping case as such because these will be done later on and we do not even know if there is a positive test. i think there is not yet because the information was given on the very lay i must say. and that means it has to the right to request to be sample. so even though he's a confused causative test, he's not yet even decided. that means the code for them to ration 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 hor, tension and the big facts that we have such as suspension, they should be very careful. in determining this will be detected substance trauma, as it is usually used to treat heart disease angina, but it may also help athletes recover from strenuous training. a few believe liver actually knowingly took the drug and people on social media and expressing widespread support for her. i'm at the allegations issue while russians, county and beijing have shared their confusion, forced me left up. our athletes are often subjected to very strict drug tests. all of them it would have been particularly stupid to have not been clean when coming here. i'm certain they are clean, tamila has been a favorite at these games. every one's been talking about her. she's been under enormous pressure from the entire world, especially the media. ready but we believe in her and wish that she goes on to

victory. oh, good service. this whole situation, not just whether they'll take away the metal is so disappointing. it would be for anyone who loves their country, especially as it concerns such in athens. so the situation is so confusing when no one really knows what's going on and why, or whether someone has something to gain from this. it's very sad, we're in beijing and we're cheering for the russians, hoping very much that everything will go smoothly. our figure skaters are the absolute best russian and inter, gustavo, it's all of my colleague mccarren earlier that believe was continuing to try and on a tremendous prussia. my experience with my partner with tiffany when we were there, it was only 3 days and we had the stress and everything being there. and i cannot imagine how difficult it is to be there for such a long time. and with all of the stress of everything going around at the moment, i have so much respect for her so much love. and i mean,

we've been on shows together, ice getting chosen just the dedication amount of work she puts in as much as the talent like she is there before. i mean, i think we came like 20 minutes before the show just kind of warmed up a little bit. she was there preparing training, which is an amazing one thing that's come up in this case has been flagged as peculiar as the how late the results of the test was really strange. it's long time and there's actually a a regulations of how long the test take to provide. and then it's, it's strange that it's been delayed to such a peculiar taste with so much going on in the media right now. do you think it might be taking a toll on her to such a strong person, such a determined person and even at such a young age? you know, she has the dedication and you can see that she, she's the, she's trading from what i've heard. she's training well, she's probably limited her social media,

whatever to kind of not deal with that and just focus on the skating, which is what she is amazing. i've heard from so many different people around the world. how in spite, how amazing her routines were, and they were really truly memorable. and i think both rabbit, the, remember that i kind of essential antonio province who threatening to impose fines of up to a $100000.00, which is blocking traffic. that's the math. demonstrations against cobra vaccine men of the regional government has declared a state of emergency and said, such demonstrations are getting out of control. and freedom convoy protest movement has been holding writings for 2 weeks already, including blockading. the national parliament in auto authors is though are clamping down and treating freezing income from a crowd funding source that's already raised more than a $1000000.00 for the po. just organize it. now dozens of arrests have already been made and more than a 1000 fines issued with police, sometimes resorting to force to the time for justice. one canadian officer accuses the government of ignoring the government of the fundamental rights of citizens,

saying he taught follow these orders anymore, not at all on video. what is happening in order to 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 in their impacting trade. they're hurting jobs, they're threatening our economy and they're obstructing our community. i am focusing on indeed,

what does accusations of insurrection and even trees and fly in a direction? the truck has a cane to holler at the grassroots support. they say that this is getting from many people also from way. john, how do you know ripples 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 protesters 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 week and 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, and iowa are fighting against mandatory vaccinations. for the trucking industry, it's really more 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 somebody 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 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 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. 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. we shame, 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 may be even stretching from california, going to washington dc, 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 pro just continues here on the ground, in ottawa and other parts of canada. well ahead of the canadian democratic defense association reports on corruption, including by the government. son says canadians should stand up for their freedom.

actually been fighting against this for about 2 years. we've got over 400 organizations that have popped up across canada and everything to do with providing an o l. i notice of liabilities in order for people to keep their jobs against these ridiculous government dictates. and i'm going to call them dictates because that's what they are by the police coming on, our side is happening in droves and we, we don't just have the occupation happening in auto. we've, we've also got in the economic center here in toronto and at every other legislature building across the entire country. and we encourage, we encourage more kids to come out and, and, and stand and support this. i mean, this is your freedoms in your life and our fundamental life, liberty, security property are being infringed upon. and it's unacceptable thought lawmakers inside president bobbins own democratic party growing increasingly restless at his and baffled administration and warnings that the republicans assert to when big and the crucial us mid term elections and i watering inflation

increasingly hitting americans in the pocket. ortiz caleb open report. well, it's just 10 months until we have the mid term elections, where americans will go to the polls around the country and elect a new congress. and right now things don't look so good for the democrats and we actually have prominent democrats in the u. s. senate and other figures in the democratic party speaking up about the problems that lay ahead for their organization, the national democratic brandy. and i think in rural america generally is toxic, and it's because, quite frankly, we don't show up what we're doing here in congress. i think it's no great secret that for 5 months, with the exception of the infrastructure, we have not been addressing the needs of the american people. now, the congressional poll trackers that predict election results are indicating that if the vote were taken today, the democratic party would go down in flames. the republican party would take back

control of both houses of the u. s. congress. both the senate and the house of representatives, the public is unsatisfied with the job. the binding ministration is doing on a number of issues, but the biggest of which is the economy. the u. s. public does not approve of biden's handling of the economy and for good reason. at this point, we've got the highest rate of inflation in 40 years. in the past year, the prices in the united states have gone up by roughly 7.5 percent. now, joe biden has spoken up and urged americans to calm down with their economic frustration. new food prices were going to bring him down and i grew up in the family, were a price at the pump, went up. he felt that i understand, but these things are necessities. but even people in jo biden's own party are not buying it. a number of democrats have stepped up and said, there is a problem here, and biden doesn't seem to be doing the job. americans need him to do and these

tough times congress in the administration must proceed with caution before adding more fuel to an economy already on fire. as inflation in our $30.00 trillion a national debt, continuous door climb only in washington, d. c. do people seem to think that spending trillions more of taxpayers money will cure our problems? let alone inflation from its inflation and soaring price is a crushing, crushing the american people. this is not about financial inconvenience. the wealthy people who can stomach it. this is about massive price increases for essential goods that make up a huge share of working families budgets. this is a direct result of liberal policy choices. now if the democrats don't want to lose control of the u. s. congress where the public goes to vote in 10 months, they've really got to turn things around. because right now the polls indicate that the democratic party is in to take major losses. well, their opponents in the 2 party system, the republicans would probably do pretty well. i as a result of this situation,

so not a good, not, not good times for the biden ministration or for the democrats. i and things look good for the republicans heading in the mid terms of christopher harris, executive director of and hyphenated america, says the white house only has itself to blame for the country's economic woes. this is what we've seen you since the vital ministration came in. they've been manipulating every aspect of our life and it's hurting. people like to go back in reference to 1982. this is the highest inflation reasons maintaining to and when the whole, who was chairman of the fed, nice name too, of a tried to raise interest rates to reduce the inflationary pressure of. but now what you have here is once again the fans talk about the running raise, the interest rates of at this meeting we have coming up in marginal public at the regulations are an even bigger issue than wising. that then the interest rates you can't keep hamstring the american people in our economy with these ridiculous policies. contra court. you join us as having sat for questioning the policy of

placing transgender patients and single sex was barrenness, nicholson, my. the revelation of the house of lords turned down her amendments, the cooling probation to be put in wolds, according to both sex. she was the current policy threatens women's dignity, privacy and safety. traditionally female patients in the n h. s, and in private hospitals have been allocated beds in single sex wards accommodating only women patients. transgender ism, and i speak as a woman, has undermined that provision with the 21900. any guidance authorizing self selection of patient gender on arrival in hospitals or the current disputed national health service guidelines say transportation should be accommodated according to their presentations, such as the way they dress and the name they currently use, rather than their biological sex at birth. a senior british held her visual, says, dna, who is trying to strike a balance between all patients, right? the n h s is committed to meeting a susie's under the quality act. and as such,

needs to give do regard to both. those who generate identity is the same as their biological sex at birth, as well as those who are not. this means that the rights and needs of women and trans women are equal in law rights campaign. clare demand and be says feelings on the issue. run deep. i myself cannot access and h as treatment. i have been death for 3 years because i cannot go to the hospital because they will not a show me of a female clinician. i cannot use an 8 jeff ward's now. i cannot receive treatment, and i happened to be re survivors. so this isn't women feeling a little bit uncomfortable. this is female specific rate trauma. and these feelings are actually 100 percent sustained by the united kingdom governments, ministry of justice transgender, sexual offender, data from the only way. this can end is by

a return to male wards and female wards. and if there is a problem with my mail trans women in my awards, then the solution is not to put them in my words. the solution is for them to find another way of dealing with this thing for. so if you go with visionaries next that we're back in office with the latest news here, nausea international join us again that ah, join me every 1st. on the alex, simon, i'll be speaking to guess of the world politics sport. business. i'm sure business . i'll see you then mm ah.
