and keep in touch viola social media, let us know if you think russia will invade. you create a french police use and tear gas to break up freedom going away. roddy, central paris as being blocked off with chuck points and all my vehicles and in canada where the movement started. security forces are facing off against hundreds of truckers looking ambassador bridge. a key border crossing with the u. s. is likely to begin with aerial bombing and missile attacks that could obviously kill civilians without regard to their nationality. while washing friend vividly depicts what the alleged russian invasion of ukraine will look like when the media speculate on the exact date. they think it will happen. as russia continues to dismissal reports as baseless propaganda with

life from moscow, thanks for joining us on how to international and daniel hawkins. wherever you are this evening. welcome to the program. now, roy police are out in force in the french capital, foreign cheer gas against freedom called boy activists. thousands of people now gathering, inspired by the canadian movement against harsh colbert restrictions that's in defiance of a band by the french authorities with checkpoints in place and almost vehicles on the streets correspond on charlotte, who in ski reports from the heart of the unrest. well, as he could probably see behind me, they're all about a 1000 people marching through the streets of paris. yes. on this particular protest. now you may be aware that the reagan come on, the so called freedom gone like, was banned by the authorities here in paris. poor thousands of vehicles a round the gates of the city because they were not allowed to enter friday. that

has been a massive police operation to try and stop march is like this taking place. in fact, there are many, many police out on the street state monitoring and everything. in fact, you still have not had last a delay. and the police with that stopping the protectors from taking the route that they had intended to take. we know that they have been hundreds upon hundreds of verbalize asians already from the police, but we heard from the french prime minister on friday that anybody trying to block the roads in paris would feel the severe consequences of the law. we also heard that from the police authorities here in paris, suggesting that organizes could face prison sentences and also find several 1000 euros and they were taking part as well, trying to block roads. i could see that driving license is suspended for a number of years and also face huge bind. so what is all of us about?

well, as we turing canada, the freedom convoy is a march for liberties people, hey demanding that end to the vaccine path. this is a pass that regulate who can and who called going to places like restaurants and cafes depending on whether they just recovered from cove it or whether they have been fully vaccinated in brands. that means 2 jobs or something like pfizer by own tax plus a booster dose. and as a result of that, there remains several 1000000 individuals across ranks u r, unvaccinated and furious weeping. speaking in the hearing from some of them to our own, the convoy why they are taken crime. that freedom is the resignation of macaroni, the santa fe democratic in totalitarian 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 to block the capitol and show mac ron

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 say, that's the demand. but this is gone much further than not what we are seeing, a demand similar to that, what we heard from the yellow vests back in 2018 that there's an issue with purchasing power improvements, and they want more money spent on public services. so a very general demand, i just want to give you a sense of how many people are on this much. we just get the camera to move up and to show the crowd amongst as you get a sense of those individuals who are on this route. so you get a sense of how many people there are here who have come out. and there really is a sense of what we know anger here at the moment about what's happening in france. this convoy of people here rather than the truck is that we've seen in

canada. they're intending to go to brussels, where they once again want to voice their i get any for you just come back to me now you'll get a sense of the parameters of the security, the offices here, marching behind and also marching at the sides of these protest is to try and keep this all under control, and that is exactly what the authorities want. we have already seen at school skirmishes between the police and the protest is plus italy. what's your gas already use on several occasions, but there is a massive force of strength here. more than 7000 offices out over the 3 day weekend to prevent things from getting out of control. well right now there's a stand off unfolding it kind of as busiest border crossing with the us security force as the trying to clear the ambassador bridge only on toria side where truck is blocking traffic. the canadian province has declared

a state of emergency with the authorities, claiming the freedom con boy is out of control. the foreign ministers warning of severe consequences while his opponents say it's a crisis of his own making. if you join the protest, because you're tired of the coven, you now need to understand your breaking loss. 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. prime ministers. 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? the movement started out in mid january against the vaccine mad at the canadian cross border truckers and as a nationwide running employ, grievances against the government officials had begun to track down a protest as blocking ambassador ridge connecting the trunk to windsor ontario is the busiest school to crossing in north america, a canadian judge has issued an injunction allowing police to begin clearing people out on the local med says, hey tanya, throw, move all demonstrate as i'm 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 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. well, the truck is keen to highlight the grassroots support. they say that photos is getting from many people while at the same time pointing to other provinces such as sexual on and quebec, which are all starting to roll back. cobra restrictions and matching with the head of the canadian democratic defense association feels people need to sign 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 an o out 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. but the police coming on our side, it's happening and drove and we, we don't just have the occupation happening in order. we've, we've also bought 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 supported 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 unacceptable. canadian truckers response afforded a faraway austria and australia where there is an up one of public anger over relentless co would restriction. austria is vaccine all the toughest in the world with a lot else required to take a cobra shot. all pay fine up to 3600 euros. a similar thing playing out in germany . thousands are now rallying in the capital gain off vaccine requirement, such as quite a pledge from all of these destruction. with the government saying, look on surgery is passing it fee. on friday,

the country's top court ruled in favor of mandatory progress, so for health workers, unvaccinated citizens are banned from restaurants. and public entertainment arises on bassett us as acute washington of leading a propaganda campaign against his country of softer increased speculation in the western media that the crumb and will invade ukraine next week. the reports are based on information coming directly from the white house which has been spreading out exactly what it thinks the 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 veiling 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. while 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, 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 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 blank in a saying that a russian invasion is basically guaranteed to happen around the winter olympics in 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 gonna 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 week. and it really just goes to show that maybe there's some merit to what the lever of said earlier this week when he

said that this, these diplomatic talks have been basically like talking to deaf people both sure. on tim stool. i am disappointed that we seem to have dialogues between amino 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 a stone so that tanks can pass safely into ukrainian territory. but it seems that our british colleagues have the same sol today, from which numerous factors that we sites had 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 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 rushes 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. 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 to actually last week. it was the same story and leverage back then was talking about how the claims that the west is making about rush are becoming more and more delusional. as time goes on and it, 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 met with the u. k foreign, 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 in the west needs to stop arming,

hostile military on russia's border. if we like to propose a step towards reducing tensions and in the pumping of ukraine with weapons from a brush that's being done publicly and significantly. and it's not entirely clear why. i'd also like to understand why britain has deployed 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 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 russian and a potential russian invasion that moscow continues to say. it's not planning. meanwhile, the washington post has joined the anti russian narrative. the outlets apparently managed to find confirmation of the plan invasion on the tick tock, video sharing platform. it claims a few videos post to bear recently prove russia is closing in on your crime. were

discussed with guests, whether the current policies of western countries, the soap, the cross is all really aimed at achieving piece. i have said all along that i don't believe russia is going to invade. there's no incentive for it to invade. however, today i think things have taken a new and very dangerous turn. now, i'm very concerned about this, and let's look at the scenario. the u. s. has now said it wants to pull out it so as the monitors today, the o. s. the monitors and don bass and counted a 400 percent increase in the amount of shelling over the last 7 days. daily. average, 4 times increase in showing. here's the scenario, the 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 o s. c, emission, out of dawn bass, you can have a massive provocation on the part of care 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 if russia doesn't invade, and russia has said over and over again, it doesn't plan to invade. 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, see, are 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 opinion as the aggressor is the big threat. this is a very clever propaganda device. so it's kind of a win win situation where american propaganda the court of arbitration for sport will hold a hearing on sunday. on the case of rushing figure skater camila the lever, the 15 year old has been embroiled and control massey at the aging winter olympics

. this week after it was confirmed, she tested positive for a band substance back in december. she one girl, the fault of the russian figure skating team and the group competition. but the metals are being withheld due to the scandal. the decision on the case is expected to come a date before the female status, competition rushes figure skating federation says, is standing by the athlete. we do not doubt the honesty of our athlete. this case requires a thorough investigation because this whole wild story raises too many questions for me, while international olympic committee has said it will help with investigation to ensure it proceeds smoothly at all takes of action. if shooting is proven, we spoke to a cardiologist through explained how the band substance might have effected camille of oliva lloyd year in year many coaches consult with doctors, he don't see the lesson forbidden substances ross. it seems something like this happened to maria. she wrap over with mold, journeyman. i see what's also important is that tri metacity ins. effects has not

been properly studied. could people under the age of 18 on the one hand, it's a very mild medicine, more like a vitamin that there is a whole science studies how medicines should be prescribed if it children. because the under 18 group always requires special clinical research. athletes recovery is usually reached through the right type of training and physical activity, not with medication. i believe white list should be compiled, just give them a list of the products. athletes can take, white lists would have solved the problem. of oliver's fans have been quick to offer support to the 15 year old and we had the doping allegations, a russian. i thought i told my colleague nikki, are on that believers continuing to train despite the extra pressure. she's now under my experience with my partner with tiffany when we were there, it was only 3 days. and now we had the stress and everything being there. and i can only 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 put since not just a 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 like she is an amazing athlete. one thing that's come up in this case it's been flagged as peculiar is the how late the results of the test. and then, you know, it's really strange. it's a long time and there's actually a regulations of how long the test take though to provide. then it's, it's strange that its been delayed to such a peculiar date, but the so much going on in the media right now, do you think it might be taking a toll on her? she's such a strong person, such a determined person, and even at such a young age are, you know, she has the dedication and you can see that she, she's there,

she's training 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 at. i've heard from so many different people around the world. how, in spite, how amazing her routines were, and they really, truly are memorable. and i think they'll forever be remembered. the u. s. has threatened to prosecute russians allegedly involved in the believe a case though some are questioning why the u. s. t o p agencies getting evolved in the case with more. here's danny armstrong. now excellent pick metals 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 says, as proof that washington's political games have found a new playing field this time on the ice. the heads of america's anti doping agency wants the raj ink of act to prosecute the teen skate sensation. as more faxes 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 fast in 2020 the act is named in honor of former moscow anti doping lab chief gregory rochon cove, a man known as dr. death and who allegedly over 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, thing 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 cheese 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 top. your sports stars are completely untouched by water jurisdiction . but this all encompassing and overreaching american or 40 on the international stage hasn't gone totally unnoticed. the i o c and was, are worried about the involvement of the f. b, i and attempts to make us law globally accepted. it is a matter of concern that 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 u. s. 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 doping 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 that the announcement about alleged doping came after an r o c gold and u. s. 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. you know, fair play and sport just got together in the 21st century. so whatever america is saying at the moment is not, shall we say, inspired by the spirit of play. it's political. i mean, these insane political games, the crescent lympics,

i mean, it's charged with and with a political current, and everyone knows that. so it's pretty plain to see that the us 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 stops it's posturing and simply played fair, it might win golds without having to prosecute russian athletes nearly declassified, but heavily redacted. celia documents really agency has been collecting americans private data in a previously undisclosed surveillance program that has been capturing such inflammation for years. the evidence came that it after 2 senators saw the agencies directly to declassify a study into its intelligence gathering. the findings revealed and order by president reagan in 1081, but expanded the power association sees and allowed the failure to embark on its own bulk collection program. the senators say,

reveals an attack on the privacy of the american people. the cia has secretly conducted its own boat program. what these documents demonstrate, he's that many of the same concerns that americans have about their privacy and civil liberties. also apply to how this cia collects and handles information under executive order. these documents reveal serious problems associated with warrantless backdoor searches of americans. we didn't even know about this until the senators accidentally stumbled on it and asked for clarification from the cia and then asked to cia to declassify the letter that they received. so this, this is something that's so important. it's such a major violation of the law that it has to be reported to the oversight committees . and we know from these 2 senators today that it was never reported to the oversight committees. it was found out about solely by accident for so many years. the congressional oversight committees have been little more than cheerleaders for

the cia and the rest of the intelligence community. we don't need cheerleaders. we need adults in the room. we need people who are going to say to the cia, you can't do that, it's illegal and mean it and make sure that there are consequences to be paid when the cia breaks the law. we don't really have that aside from these 2 senators today . nobody else has even made a comment or statement or response. the cia said it respects the privacy of americans and is committed to transparency, the american civil liberties union. i slammed agency for an invasion of privacy while criticism has been building foss, phone line. you are about to witness an enormous political debate in which the spy agencies and their apologists on tv. tell you this is normal and ok. and the cia doesn't know how many americans are in the database or even how they got there anyway. but it is not ok. the c i is a criminal organization. their interference in us politics is particularly

pernicious. these reports raise serious questions about what information of ours the c i is vacuuming up in bulk and how the agency exploits that information to spy on americans. this invasion of our privacy must stop. for marcia analyst stronger yahoo again, fuels phone account ranges and tony justified as though no legal grounds for such data collection. there is no legal basis. none whatsoever. not only has c, i collection been illegal when conducted against american citizens. since the creation of the cia in 1947, that was reiterated by the church and pike committees in 1975. there are no circumstances where the cia may collect bulk data on american citizens or u. s. persons. there's literally no justification, no explanation within the confines of the law. that's acceptable for something like this. we don't even know what kind of information is being discussed here. we don't

know how many americans are affected. we don't know where the information is being kept. we don't know who else has access to it. we don't know what the information is for. for example, does the f b, i have access to this database? can it look at illegally collected information on american citizens for the purpose of law enforcement or building a case without a warrant? that's really the most important question here. and the answer is that it shows how we desperately need robust congressional oversight in this country for so many years. the congressional oversight committees have been little more than cheerleaders for the cia and the rest of the intelligence community. we don't need cheerleaders. we need adults in the room next to the kaiser reports. if you can use audio commentary explores the impacts of over fishing on the mediterranean unit. o'neill will take all seat and off an hour to guide you through the evening news headlines. join us again that
