hello, a is likely to begin with aerial bombing and missile attacks that could obviously kill civilians without regard to their nationality. while washington vividly to fix the election, russia innovation of ukraine will look like quest the media speculate on the exact date. they think it'll happen. not as russia continues to dismiss all reports as baseless propaganda. the prime minister has intentionally stigmatized and divided canadians for political gain. canadian politicians accuse just include our vilifying freedom convoy demonstrators for his own ends. as the pm threatened severe measures against protest. us as warner could prosecute russians involved in the controller c surrounding rushing to figure skater camila oliva office. she tested positive for a band substance back in december with

love from oscar. thanks for joining us. that i thought i'll change financial on, daniel hawkins. whether you are the sour welcome to the program or russia on baset at the u. s. has accused washington of leading a propaganda campaign against this country. and so for increased speculation in the west of media that the kremlin will invade ukraine next week, or both. so based on information coming directly from the white house, which has been spending out exactly what it thinks, invasion will look like 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. they 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 as more the thing than ever. the anglo saxons, nita will 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 expose themselves. 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 speak goats, 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, antony blink, in his saying that a russian invasion is basically guaranteed to happen around the winter olympics. and beijing zation could begin at any time during the olympics. any american citizens who remain in ukraine should leave now. now these extreme claims have had 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 the lever off said earlier this week

when he said that this, these diplomatic talks have been basically like talking to deaf people both. sure, and tim still, i am disappointed that we seem to have dialogues between a mute and a dead person. they seem to be listening, but don't hare. almost detailed explanations have fallen on rough ground. they say that russia is waiting for the soil to freeze and become like histone was said, that tanks compassed safely into ukrainian territory. it seems that our british colleagues have the same. so today from which numerous factors that we cited of bouncing. now the white house has said it's 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 to 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 a 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 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 out. now, 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 leverage back then was talking about how the claim that the west is making about russia are becoming more and more delusional. as time goes on and 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. russia is trying to continue to conduct diplomacy with the western world showing who 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, then the west needs to stop arming, hostile, military on rushes border. we'd like to propose a step towards reducing tensions and in the pumping 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'll be there. now the last thing i want to mention about the white house is 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. in while the washington post says join the anti russian narrative, the outlet has apparently managed to find confirmation of the plan invasion. only tech talk video sharing platform in flames. if you videos posted there recently, prove russia is closing in on ukraine. well, there's, i'm,

i think folks continue in an effort to find a solution to the ongoing conflict. any new crime that's a good while this is normandy for group met once again on friday. however, the criminal invoice said no breakthrough was achieved to further the mints complete agreement. with more now on all the latest auto succasunna was 20 systems fashion of pulse and our time for wild leaders, 16 hours of negotiations sleep deprived john less and a whole lot of hope to finally see the end of a bloody conflicts that had claimed 5000 lives 7 years ago, the misc agreement was hailed as a new beginning and given the final stamp of approval by the un itself, like i said, piece in our time or so we thought we lose sure. i think the phrase that the minsk agreements should be fulfilled is like the lord's prayer. everyone repeats it under any circumstances, but the issue is different order. will the mens agreements be fulfilled in the

russian interpretation or will they be fulfilled as they are? we won't comply with the minsk agreements under russian conditions, including the direct dialogue with a dinette. can le ganske republics on which russia firmly insists. it's our principal position. principal belief. no method could be clara a tool signature, the one in fact, his country is shattered by conflict, is trampling over the very agreement that could put an end twit, partly out a fail being branded a traitor by his ultra nationalist compatriots. but that's why black and white documents exist you say, to hold you to your word. when you think you might change your mind with keith over at us care of says they will comply with immense agreements. then they say that this will destroy their country. and the current president recently said that he doesn't like any of the closes whether you like it or you don't like kids. bear with it, my duty, you have to comply. there's a lot that president lensky doesn't like,

and so he hasn't really bolted with complying with the documents. 13 points, the ones that have proved the most on palatable relate to the dung, ask a new ganske regions. now. according to the 2015 document, these breakaway republics should have been awarded a special status, a kind of his self governance. but zalinski has big dreams of joining nato and to you and he can't have anyone going rogue. and scott, praying those pans, not a single region of ukraine, will receive the right to veto any decisions concerning the whole country. it's undisputed, thus, there will be no special status. so no special status, a violation full stop, no dialogue. in fact, with the don bass republics, a violation, but there is one fragment of one sentence from one of the measures that zalinski rather likes about being handed back full control of the border through the conflict area. uncles is conveniently ignoring the fact that only happens once the

republics get their special status and must go warns that giving in before then would be a bloodbath. crisco sit on the student say so pros. ukraine is calling on us all the time to let their troops close the border. but think about what's going to happen next city. they'll be a massacre like in sri bernita. the southern is ukraine has shown its lack of interest in abiding by the rules by 13 simple points. so you have to ask, why doesn't it just walk away? well, here's a fort the full implementation of the mask agreements is the only way forward. and so full implementation is a reality you sanctions against russia will remain in place. it's called cutting off your nose to spite your face. it's called allowing your civilians to be shelled by your own troops while enjoying your neighbor get battered by sanctions. of course, you never know about any of this. if you listen to washington, which yes, you're right is not a signatory. but as, as law involved,

know the white house throughout the evidence and found the guilty party long ago. it is a fair assessment to say that ukraine has sought to move forward on most if not all of them are while russia is made good on virtually none of its obligations under mint. just a reminder, meaning for antony lincoln. russia has no obligations under immense contract. it's only mentioned once in the entire document. it's that like france and germany only as a mediator. why then isn't been, can accusing his allies in europe of not making good because that try one last time to resuscitate the agreement. or are they move to the situation is absolutely absurd. it shows that almost a year since the outbreak of the conflict and 7 since the signing of the minsk agreements. everything was a complete bluff. we are at the point where the clock stopped on march, the 9th, 20153 out of 4 participants of the normandy format on not ready to

implement the minsk agreements. so invested it seems, are the european pulse makers that after a couple of hours of discussion in berlin, one person present said they had to go walk that dog a far cry from that 16 hour marathon all those years ago. we discussed of guess whether the current policies or was some countries to solve the crisis, so really aimed at preserving peace. i have said all along that i don't believe russia is going to invade. there's no incentive for it to an invade. however, today i think things have taken a new and very dangerous turn. now i'm very concerned about this. let's look at the scenario. the u. s. has now said it wants to pull out it, so let's see monitors today, the o. s. c monitors and don bass have counted a 400 percent increase in the amount of shelling over the last 7 days, daily average 4 times increasing shelling. here's a scenario. u. s. has apparently gotten the other countries several other countries

to, to have to share the panic and to pull their troops or their, their citizens out. if you pull the ofc mission out of don bass, you can have a massive provocation on the part of, of this is potentially dangerous development. u. s. a sounding increasingly desperate because everything they throw on the wall doesn't stick. well, 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 and nato, 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 r preemptive actions are unifying actions where all of the nato countries 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 opinion as the aggressor is the big threat. this is

a very clever propaganda device, so it's kind of a win win situation for american propaganda. a state of emergency has been declared in canada on tara province. so with a continuing freedom convoy, protest, local authorities claim administration is getting out of control the countries from ministers. won't anyone protesting now faces severe consequences. however, if the prime minister himself that many, and pay the $1000.00 per ton again, if you join the protest, because you're tired of the coven, you now need to understand your breaking laws. the consequences are becoming more and more severe. the deliberate politicization of the pandemic is undermined to trust in our public health institutions and as damage to national unity. the prime minister's opportunism has created 2 classes of canadians, canadians now watch as the rest of the world moves forward, ending mandate and removing restrictions. while our government has no clear plan to

do the same, the prime minister has intentionally stigmatized and divided canadians for political gain. the prime minister has stopped basing his decisions on science. he's now basing them on political science, doing whatever it takes to save his own political skin. when will canadians have a clear plan to end the mandate? here, officials have also begun to crack down on progressives counting, blocking ambassador bridge. the busiest international crossing in north america a canadian judge is issue an injunction allowing police to begin to clearly keep it out and the local man has he intends to remove all demonstrated and hopeful that the vast majority of the protesters appreciate the rule of law. appreciate that the court has agreed to grant this injunctive relief. they've made their point move on, but if they fail to move on, police will have capabilities to move in and help them move out. well, we went to law a couple of weeks ago and we're here today because we stand for freedom. this is

a free country and we should be able to work and travel and congregate with people as we please. my wife is a business owner. her business has been closed for 18 months out of 2 years. i felt it at home. there's people who have lost their businesses lost their homes. so we understand that pain and we feel it. and since we've been here, and since we've had people in ottawa, the world is on fire right now. everybody's changing. governments are coming together. they're trying to work through this. and that's what we want. because they came to highlight the grassroots support. they say that poetry is getting from many people while at the same time pointing to other provinces such as alberta structure, one and 2 back, which are all starting to roll back restrictions. and vaccine managers that are the canadian democratic defense association feels people need to 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. everything to do with that providing and allows notice of liabilities in order for people to keep their jobs

against these ridiculous government dis case. and i'm going to call them dictates because that's what they are by the police coming on our side. it's happening and drove and we, we don't just have the occupation happening in auto. we've also got it in the economic center here in toronto and at every other legislature building across the entire country. and we encourage, we encourage market to come out and get in support of this. i mean, this is your freedom in your life and our fundamental life, liberty, security, and property are being infringed upon. and it's an acceptable situation in canada hasn't spot of 70. we went in france where police blocks the laws conway from entering the capital photo from the south or trying to reach paris, shot it to be ski has more details. they were warned not to come to paris that they would feel the full weight of the law if they did. yet, those threats have fallen on death is as thousands taken part in the so called

freedom convoy have made their way towards the french capital. they have come from across france, using roads just like this one to enter the city to plant some say is to demonstrate peacefully and they were cool for them to remain outside of paris. however, others have been calling for more concrete action. so book the city and to make a scene, what binds them all together though, is that they want a show of force to solidarity against code which restrictions, which started almost 2 years ago is yeah, you know, me see. yeah, what is happening is unacceptable. and frankly speaking, this government treats its people badly. and now we are all fighting. we are all heading to brussels by next wednesday so that people will wake up pusher. let him know that freedom is the resignation of micron. the santa democratic into tell a tarion ruler who prevents me a pensioner from going to restaurants because i met vaccinated prevents me from

visiting my mother in a nursing home because i am not vaccinated. i. we want to block the capitol and show macro on using our freedom of speech are leveraging power. we want them to sit down with us at the negotiating table so that the super rich people give money to those who no longer have it. that's all we want to do. the convoy also has huge support on social media platforms. many people saying that they couldn't actually be here around paris, offering their voices to of support to the fray. many said that they aren't anti faxes, but simply are against government initiatives. like the vaccine pass that restricts access to normal social activities for anyone who doesn't measure up against changing guidelines and regulations. they say they won't let freedoms back. the french prime minister though has hit back. the demands are not always very clear, but relate above all to the health situation. they are against vaccination and

against the vaccination pass. i can in no way associate these virulent attacks with the word freedom, freedom is not contaminating others. the right to demonstrate is constitutionally guaranteed, the right to block is not the police are ready to deal with. the protest is on this bond convoy. 2 blocks was set up on roads coming in to paris, with offices checking to see if people were intending to take part. in this canadian inspired convoy empowers the city, has been gearing up for trouble to with water cannons and practice to dismantle any barriers that could be set up ready, as well as more than 7000 offices willing and waiting. the organizes have even been threatened with prison sentences and hefty fines to if they all courts. and anyone taking part could also face fines, as well as those core blocking major road to any roads could have their driving

licenses suspended. but the french government is adamant. 8 and will keep a lid on the convoy, which plans only a pit stop here in paris before heading to its final destination in brussels, where it's intending to meet convoys from all across europe, all in it, big to voice the anger above all, to the european union jollity, blue sky, or t, paris of the freedom con will movement as inspired, ferocious across the world. thus people in australia as well as australia have taken to the street in support of the canadian truckers. they've also been demanding an ends of vaccine manice on policies in their own country. u. s. a. students prepared to prosecute russians, allegedly involved in the high profile doping case of camilla oliva. she's been embroiled controllers here at the beijing winter olympics this week off. it was confirmed, she tested positive for band substance back in december. the american dupree agency

statement has led some to question what right, america asked to get involved with law. here's danny armstrong. now, if olympic medals were given out for politicization, the u. s. would probably make a clean sweep, of course with squeaky clean athletes to the treatment of camille of oliver serves as proof that washington's political games and found a new playing field this fame on the ice. the heads of america's anti doping agency wants the raw chink of act to prosecute the team skate sensation as more facts or develops, i think the rod jenko fact potentially could come into play if there's a doctor or a coach or state officials, sports official who conspired to dope valley eva than the rod shank of act fits like a glove because it's an international major competition passed in 2020 the act is named in honor of former moscow anti doping lab chief gregory rochon cove, a man known as doctor death and who allegedly always saw

a wide spread doping program in 2014 before fleeing to the u. s. where he was placed on the government protection. his claims had more contradictions than clarity. and then he simply disappeared into thin air. hardly a whiter than white reputation to enforce fines of a cool $1000000.00 or even 10 years in jail. the 1st and only prosecution came last summer. this prosecution is entirely appropriate and puts real teeth into anti doping enforcement while also setting an example of international cooperation and fair play for future generations. but here's the catch. the law is only used when doping affects us athletes, broadcast and sponsors convenient. you might say, meanwhile, a plethora of talk. us sport stars are completely untouched by water jurisdiction. but this all encompassing and over reaching american or 40 on the international stage hasn't gone totally on notice the i o c and was worried about the involvement

of the f. b. i. and attempts to make us law globally accepted. it is a matter of concern, but the intention of the legislation is to per athletes from all $206.00 national olympic committees from around the world who take part in international competition under the criminal code of us law, the world anti doping agency as well as several governments in international sports organizations remain concerned that the act could have a number of negative, unintended consequences for the fight against stoping in sports around the world. this of course has nothing to do with a rookie skater wiping the ice with the u. s. team and the announcement about a lead stoping came after an r o c gold and us silver. that would be too much of a coincidence, especially after test taken in december. and now being talked about in february, it looks very strange that it took almost a month for the sample to get from st. petersburg to stockholm. this raises very

serious questions for me. it seems like that someone held this probe until the end of the team skating competition in bay jane. i can't remember any previous situation when it took so long for a result. so it's pretty plain to see that the u. s. is trying to create a level playing field, but only when it benefits their own athletes. and while the u. s. may stand at the top of the podium for playing political games. if it's stopped it's posturing and simply played fair. it might win golds without having to prosecute russian athletes and nothing in the u. k. had been sacked for them to question the policy of placing transgender patients in single effects was bernice nicholson made the revelation of the house of lords ton down or amendment call innovations to be put in wards according to their birth sex. she wants 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 and 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 to the state. national health service guidelines say trans patients should be accommodated according to their presentations, such as the way they dress and the name they currently use rather than the bottle juggle sex above the senior british health officials and asia. his trying to strike a balance between all patients rights the n h s is committed to meeting a suit. he's under the quality act. and as such, needs to give do regard to both those who gender 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 or rights can buy and demand says feelings on the issue, run deep. i myself cannot access any just treatment. i have been

death for 3 years because i cannot go to the hospital because they will not show me of a female clinician. i cannot use and they just wards 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 offended data. the only way they can end is by a return to mail 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 into my vote. the solution is for them to find another way of dealing with those are headlines for this our join us again in 30

minutes for the right ages to on our team. ah ah ah ah ah i ah, i'm african or dance any watching going underground, coming up, alicia,

with even president zalinski imploring nato nations not to so panic in ukraine. what happened to the imminent russian invasion that some oil analysts believe, will spike crude to $120.00 a barrel after you pay for. in secretary liz trust accused moscow of lying and water will ne donation media appearing to relish a story that can mean world war 3. the only winners arms companies and leaders like maurice johnson who face the prospect of a police interrogation. here in london, we examine both sides of the ukraine crisis. all the small coming up in today's going underground at 1st is both ukrainian and russian. president tried to ease fears of a russian invasion of ukraine. nato nation leaders embroiled in domestic political battles at home heightened fears of a war with moscow. joining me now from here in london to discuss the way out of this crisis is the biographer of john maynard keynes lord's good elsie emeritus professor of political economy at work and adversity. thank you so much and looks good housekeeper coming on to the joe biden administration kind of flip flops at the invasion was imminent. now it's any day boss. johnson's foreign secretary list,

trusting russia denials about invading ukraine or false, or at least leverage has to prove it's m sure your take on this week's events as was a better ask 1st. well, i, i think the, you know there stoking up the tension. i mean, in a way i think the west is, is the moment and particularly it's a sort of a for example, where we have promised legislation which will produce heavy sanctions within 24 hours. if there is one soldier, the process, russian soldier, crosses the cranium frontier. i mean, that's a kind of racking up tension. because a rough has always denied that it has any intention of invading the crane and this is omitted.
