5:01 pm
but they revealed 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. the canadian police officer slams the government over its cracked out on the freedom, calling the boy protest, movement authority step up their efforts to enter the system to rise against cope with vaccine mandates ah, blowing from moscow, thanks for joining us this evening. and i shall on daniel hawkins. robbie was, and i welcome to the program. and the us national security advisers laid out a rather precise prediction for what he calls the imminent rush invasion of ukraine . shake sullivan went into disturbing detail of what exactly expects. meanwhile, russian from ministry spokes one but he has a kind of us say,
5:02 pm
such hysteria is now reaching the limits and only the anglo saxons need a war. it is likely to begin with aerial bombing and missile attacks that could obviously kill civilians without regard to their nationality. a subsequent ground invasion would involve the onslaught of a massive force with virtually no notice communications to arrange. a departure could be severed and commercial transit halted 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. the white house hysteria is more revealing than ever. the anglo saxons need a war at any cost, provocation. misinformation and threats are a favorite method of solving their own problems. the american military political machine is ready to steam roll through people's lives again. the whole world is watching how militarism and imperial ambitions exposed themselves. so correspond. dunham court joins me in the studio. dawn, the you've been across the story for
5:03 pm
a more vows the rhetoric coming out of the state department russians response. where do we start at this point? well, the russian foreign ministry is calling the sum of washington's actions, basically a coordinated disinformation campaign against russia. after all, we're seeing, we're being told that russia's preparing to invade, but at the same time, western media outlets can't get their story straight when it comes to the finer details from one angle. we're hearing from their spiegel woods, which is saying that the invasion is set to come on the 16th of february on the, on an, on the other hand, we have bloomberg who's saying it's the 15th of february. so, and all this actually seems to be flowing from washington, putting its citizens and its allies in a state of fear. i mean, without any sort of evidence whatsoever, except basically saying, trust us, anthony blink. and saying that a russian invasion is basically guaranteed to happen around the winter winter
5:04 pm
olympics in beijing. an invasion could begin at any time clear that includes during the olympics, any american citizens who remain in ukraine should leave now. now these extreme claims have a cascade effect around parts of the world that are aligned with the west. the european union, the u. k. japan and a lot of other countries are already telling their citizens that they also need to get out of ukraine as quickly as possible. the united states is also saying that it's going to be withdrawing its citizens that are in ukraine, specifically in the o. s. c e mission there in anticipation of a russian invasion. now this is all, despite the fact that russia has not actually been been preparing for an invasion, but has been busy conducting diplomacy all the week. and it really just goes to show that maybe there's some merit to what lever offset, earlier this week when he said that this, these diplomatic talks have been basically like talking to deaf people. those are all on the i'm still i'm disappointed that we seem to have dialogue between
5:05 pm
a mute and a definite 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 tank can pass safely into ukrainian territory. his teams that our british colleagues have the same sold today, from which numerous factors that we cited a bounce. now the white house has said its that biden is set to make an emergency phone call to proven to see, to see if they can work things out. but one has to ask, what's the point of really bringing all of this to this moment, this hysteria? is it too? is it for washington to show that it can save the day at the end? i mean, that it kind of seems that way, especially as jake sullivan is claiming that russia's planning some sort of false flag attack to justify invading we are firmly convinced that the russians should they decide to move forward with invasion or looking hard at the creation of
5:06 pm
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 are calling that out public. this isn't actually the 1st time that russia has been accused by the west of planning, some sort of false flag operation. and this also isn't the 1st time that no false flag operation actually happened. actually last week it was the same story. and lateral back then was talking about how the claims that the west is making about russia are becoming more and more delusional, as time goes on. and as it seems like he's right on the money with these recent developments on the one hand, the u. s. is in hysterics and on the other rushes trying to continue to conduct diplomacy with the western world show who just today met with the u. k. 4 and the u . k. defense secretary. and he's basically laying it out, laying out his cards on the table, saying if the west and russia are to get along than the west needs to stop arming,
5:07 pm
hostile military on rushes border. we'd like to propose a step towards reducing tensions and in 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. now the last thing i want to mention about the white house is the recent statement was that it said it's trying to prevent war, but perhaps a better way to go about preventing war would be to return to the negotiating table rather than continue to spread hysteria around the russian and potential russian invasion that moscow continues to say. it's not planning indeed crucial time now for those patients of course don't quarter that will be updated. thanks so much. well let's cross slide to brian becker, the rational director of the anti will answer coalition movement. brian, thanks for joining us. the program today. now we have heard a lot of speculation about
5:08 pm
a russian invasion. it's building up over the days and weeks is clearly either going to happen or not if it doesn't happen, which moscow says is the case. what is the benefit to worse than officials and where the media ramping up, such tensions when they don't really lose anything? do they because of russia doesn't invade, and russia has said over and over again. it doesn't plan to invade that. what it does want is the united states in nature to give some security guarantees to russia about the use of need of nato troops or advanced weapons in ukraine and other words prohibiting that in the future. but if a russian doesn't invade now the united states can say c. r preemptive actions are unifying actions where all of the nato countries stood together, prevented the russians from carrying out aggression. and at the same time, they continue to paint russia. here in the united states and in western public
5:09 pm
opinion as the aggressor as the big threats. this is a very clever propaganda device when, when you think about the fact that if the united states and nato, which are promising that they will put advanced weapons on russia's border. not russia promising to put advanced weapons on the us mexican border or the u. s. canadian border, you, you see what the objective reality is. and yet the united states media operation in this propaganda campaign can present russia as the aggressor. so it's kind of a win win situation where american propaganda do you think the family in moscow officials could perhaps see some mixed messages? here were on the one hand, top officials topped up from us from the u. k. for instance, the foreign secretary, the defense minister, all coming from moscow for negotiate, yet at the same time, pledging to deploy troops to supply weaponry, to, to help me tre, militarily, in some of moderation. that even if, if an invasion should happen,
5:10 pm
surely that may send mixed messages at the negotiating table. well, that would not be that unusual. where from crisis there can be a negotiated settlement. and again, the political atmosphere here in washington dc where i am, where the democrats and the republicans compete with each other to see who will be more hock like who will be more militarist, who will be more threatening towards russia. if you were to make a deal, you would have to sort of 1st create a situation where we're almost at a near war environment and other words, that would be the necessary political atmosphere for the by the administration to do something on the diplomatic side. so yes, it wouldn't be a complete miracle for there to be behind the scenes negotiations going on. look, this whole problem can be solved right away. all the united states has to do is say to russia, we will not allow ukraine to become a member of nato. we will not use an ukraine as
5:11 pm
a staging ground for advanced weapons from night nato, or the united states or western countries. if the united states gives russia that security guarantee this crisis, and why can't the united states do that? why can't the united states and nato give that kind of guarantee to russia, given the fact that nato was pushed eastward, it had 14 countries in 1991. it now has 30, including former soviet republics in the major russian allies in eastern and central europe. why can't native say enough? is enough again, this is the question that can only be answered by washington. just in terms of the effect of funding, this is having rather on ukraine we found ukraine, an official saying that this, this rounding up of tensions by the media, by western officials, the rhetoric is actually affecting the economy. the people there. what impact do you think that has had on people in ukraine when we're getting calls
5:12 pm
from western states for their citizens, to leave the leave urgently to evacuate? surely this is backfiring on the again and people as well. yeah, well i don't think the ukrainian people had to say in any of this today. i mean, this is devastating economically for ukraine. zelinski, the head of state of ukraine is called by repeatedly asking him, asking by the stop whipping up this war hysteria. there's also the psychological trauma, if, if you believe that war is about to start as the united states keep suggesting and you are the place where the war will start. i mean, ukraine will be incinerated if there is a war between russia and the united states in ukraine. ukrainians pay the ultimate price. and of course the premium people are living in an economy that's been devastated. it's gotten only only worse. it's got the greatest poverty in europe. i mean, the people in ukraine need decent jobs. they need to be able to go to work. they need decent wages. the last thing they need is this manufactured crisis manufactured by the united states manufactured buying
5:13 pm
a to buy its insistence that their country be a staging ground for new advanced weapons against russia. ukraine and ukrainian people do not want to be pawns on the u. s. geostrategic chest work, they don't want to be ponds because ponds are always expendable. just looking at the bigger picture has stepping away from b, a negations of preparation preparations for an invasion. why is it that pops a lot of western leaders, western states font it's so hard to see, but russian concerns about their security about bank to build up on their boy. but i to expansion because russians with the russian officials, rob, i've been very clear what their concerns are about and what it would take from their side to reduce the level of tensions they just don't seem to be reading from the same page. well, i think the european leaders at least some of them. i certainly would include germany here, actually probably do appreciate russia's position,
5:14 pm
a look at all the pressure that germany and the other nato allies, so called allies in europe are under from washington. i mean, the logic of empire, the logic of us empires is basically this. you either go along with us, you function as junior partners or attack dogs as part of our team or you to will be punished. and we can see that germany has been threatened by actually promised to destroy north stream, to their primary natural gas energy source for germany. if germany didn't get in line and become more hard line against russia. so i don't think it's a europe doesn't understand russia. i think europe is under the domination of the of the u. s. head. your mom. that's the real problem. the us is dictating to all of europe, including the people in western europe, central europe, eastern europe, and in ukraine and in the western part of russia. what the terms of the next scene is going to be, and those people have to stand up europe. europe has to stand up right now and say,
5:15 pm
no, we're not going to return to the 1080, where the u. s. risk thermo nuclear war with the soviet union by placing missiles in our country directed against the soviet union. russia, europe has to speak up and speak up clearly about so we have time for today brought back of the national rector of the annual coalition movement set. thanks for your time today here on the program by the international testing agency has confirmed the band substance was found in a sample taken from russia. vegas k. it's a committee of a leave of back in december. agency said it was forced to address swirling media speculation off the media. the medal ceremony was delayed for the limbic figure, skating team competition and which believe a one gold. however, the test result is only serving to raise more questions at all. so as, as the next set of shasky reports from beijing, 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
5:16 pm
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 is 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 oliva on december 25th in st. petersburg, russia during the russian ice figure skating championship, which of course, of oliva 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,
5:17 pm
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 things 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. 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 and sons 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
5:18 pm
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 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,
5:19 pm
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 and the whole story that 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 the sports related and ordinary, you know, common lovers of sport without, without last weekend. it was a historical performance 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
5:20 pm
is running through. i had, 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 protected 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. america's anti doping shape is already floating melody or of suing russian athletes saying he's ready for use an anti doping law that allows us authorities to prosecute for athletes or officials outside the country. and 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
5:21 pm
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 dealt later on and we do not even know if there is a positive test. i see there is not yet because the information was given on the very, very late i must say. and that means it has to the right to request to be so. so if there we can fields, positive test is not yet even decided. that means the corporation for support
5:22 pm
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 heart tension and big effects that we have such as suspension, they should be very careful. in determining, bish may detective substance try matters. it in is usually used to treat heart disease and, and zinah. but it may also help athletes recover from strenuous training if you believe, really of a knowingly took the drug and people on social media have been expressing widespread support for her and maybe allegations, while russians currently in beijing of shed their confusion for me, oh my yeah, our athletes are often subjected to very strict drug test. it would have been
5:23 pm
particularly stupid to have not been clean when coming here. i'm certain they are clean. tamila has been a favorite at these games. everyone's been talking about her. she's been under enormous pressure from the entire world, especially the media. but we believe in her and wish that she goes on to victory. said this, 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 as the situation is so confusing, no one really knows what's going on and why, or whether someone has something to gain from this drug. it's very sad. we're in beijing and we're cheering for the russian, hoping very much that everything will go smoothly. our figure skaters are the absolute best kind of central and tara province is threatening to impose fines about $200000.00 for protest blocking traffic that submitted mass demonstrations against coven vaccine models. regional government is declared
5:24 pm
a state of emergency and said such demonstrations of getting out of control. the freedom cornwall approaches movement has been holding values for 2 weeks already, including blockading the national parliament and also authorities that are cracking down including freezing income from a crowd funding source that's already raised more than a 1000000 dollars for the protests organizes and dozens of arrests have already been made on more than a 1000 fines issued with police sometimes was ordering to for to detain progresses . one canadian officer accuses the government of ignoring the fundamental rights of what it is saying if a longer follow orders. what is happening in ottawa, with the 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 excuse. it is time to stand up and speak out by
5:25 pm
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 have 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 like is ations of insurrection and even trees and fly in a direction, a truck as a came to holla, the grass roots support. they say that voters is getting from many people that also work from edge on hardy meyer reports or 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
5:26 pm
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 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 of
5:27 pm
even told me we stand in support of these trucker. 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 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 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,
5:28 pm
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 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. though the head of the canadian democratic defense association reports on corruption, including by the government and says, canadians should stand up for their freedoms. 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 that and providing and allows notice of liabilities in order for people to keep their jobs against these ridiculous government dictates. and i'm gonna call them dictates cuz 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 order. we've, we've also got in the economic center here in toronto and at every other
5:29 pm
legislature building across the entire country. and we encourage, we encourage more kids to come out and, and, and stand in support of 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 as well. those are the headlines folder. so are staying shewn to mix for dennis minute process one p to scott will be in a pseudo to guide you through the not headlines took morning in just about half an hour. saw him join us again that mm hm. no look forward to talking to you. oh, that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about official intelligence at the point obviously is to
