date they think it will happen. russia continues to dismiss all such reports, basically propagate the revenue, catching the program from today. welcome to moscow onto the news our on our to you . i'm you know, neil, let's get to our top story. ryan police are right in force in the french capital, firing tear gas against freedom convoy activists. thousands of people have gathered, inspired by the canadian movement against harsh colbert restrictions. it is all happening despite a bon puts in place by the french authorities with checkpoint, set up armored vehicles as well on the streets or correspondence. charlotte duban school reports from the heart of the unrest. well, i think above the sea, behind me, they're all about a 1000 people marching through the street to paris just on this particular protest

. now you may be aware that the freedom convoy, the so called freedom convoy, was banned by the authorities here in paris for thousands of vehicles all camped out around the gates of the city because they were not allowed to enter. since friday there 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 neighbor thing. in fact, who started, there's not at the last italy and the police were that stopping the protections 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 i was 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 fine. so what is all the fuss about? well, as we store in canada, the freedom convoy is a march for liberties people here demanding that end to the vaccine passage to pass that regulate who can and who called to go into places like restaurants and cafes depending on whether they just recovered from cove. it or whether they have been fully vaccinated in frogs, that means 2 jobs have some in like pfizer buy on tag plus a booster dose. and as a result of that, there remains several 1000000 individuals across from o vaccinated and furious weeping, speaking and hearing from some of those who were on the convoy why they are taken to. yeah,

we have been told that in march or april they will abolish health passes. there was that to encourage us to vote. there are a lot of things that need to change to improve the country more. the government should stop taking people for fools, lady macbeth, that freedom is the resignation of macaroni. this anti democratic into tell a tarion ruler who prevents me a pensioner from going to restaurants because i am not vaccinated prevents me from visiting my mother in a nursing home because i am not vaccinated. oh, we want to block the only right we have left. since the very beginning, we have been demanding the removal of a manual micron region. we also want pay arises and tax cuts, especially on fuel. so 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 is an issue with purchasing power improvements. and they want more money spent on public services. so

a very general to mon. well as you can. ready see the tear gas is coming towards us now. launched by the police just behind as they were trying to control the crowd, the crowds attempting to run up the steps and to be able to get past this police convoy that is trying to keep everything in order. would you have to move further now because my gas is coming towards us. as you can see, big, big clouds are moving along with the police here forming a bar, a cage. and they are trying to separate the crowd down. the rest of the crowd has moved all the way back to away from the plume of chia guess that was launched by the police in attempts to control the situation. this convoys been relatively calm. however, we have seen small incursions between the protesters and new police as they truly make their way through paris, charlotte, in the french capital. well, there's

a nother sala. darcy rowley happening in the netherlands. truckers are blocking the city center in the hague. they have no lines off, it's not a government building are defining up for this with the furnace. organizers say they'll continue their protests for at least the week could come up with similar movements in france and belgium. the freedom convoys going truly global. now, with protest springing up in austria on the street to both countries, i've seen an up swell of public anger over relentless cobit restriction. austria is vaccine rules are the toughest in the world. with all of those required to take a cobra shot or a 5 up to 3600 euro and let certain tension back to canada then where the freedom called voice started stunned off is currently unfolding up the countries busiest border crossing at with the u. s. security force that they're trying to clear,

the ambassador bridge where truckers are blocking traffic on the ontario side, the province has the curtis state of emergency with the authorities, claiming the freedom colon boy is out of control. the prime minister is wanting of severe consequences, while many others say it's a crisis of his own making. if you join the protests because you're tired of the co, vin, 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. a prime minister's opportunism has created 2 classes of canadians, canadians now watch as the rest of the world moves forward, ending mandates 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 mandates your la movement started in mid january against a vaccine mandate for canadian cross border truckers and has really become a nationwide rallying point for grievances against the government. officials have begun to crack done on protesters locking the ambassador bridge connect in detroit to windsor ontario. it is the busiest border crossing in north america. a canadian judge has issued an injunction allowing police to begin tearing people out from local nurses. he intends to remove all demonstrated and hopeful that the vast majority, the protestors 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. mm. her business has been closed for 18 months out of 2 years. i felt it at home. there's people who have lost their 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 on the truckers in ontario, being highlighting the grass roots support their protest is getting from large sweets of the public while at the same time pointing to other provinces such as alberta, saskatchewan, quebec, which are all starting to rule by coded restrictions on vaccine mandates. now, one activists in autumn told us people need to stand off for their freedoms. 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 hour 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 in drugs. and we don't just have the occupation happening in order we've, we've also got in the economic center here, it's ronald and at every other legislature building across the entire country. and we encourage, we encourage market to come out and get in 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 or another story to bring you to day rushes ambassador to the u. s. has accused washington of leading a prop again to campaign against his country after increased speculation in western media outlets, but the kremlin will invade ukraine within a week. the reports are based on information coming directly from the white house,

which has been spelling out exactly what it thinks the invasion will look like. 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. 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 blinking is saying that a russian invasion is basically guaranteed to happen around the when 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 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 prep, 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 m t, m, still. i am disappointed that we seem to have dialogue between a mute and a dead 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 was a bit. tanks compassed safely into ukrainian territory, but it seems that our british colleagues have the same sol today,

from which numerous factors that we sides 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 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 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, and this isn't actually the 1st time that russia has been accused by the west of planning some sort of false. busy 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 laughter of 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 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 met with the u. k 4 in 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. yeah, we like to propose a step towards reducing tensions and in the pumping off of ukraine with weapons from a brush that's being done publicly in 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. and the washington post newspaper has joined the anti russian normative. the daily has apparently managed to find confirmation of they planned invasion on the tick tock, video sharing platform. it claims a few videos posted there recently, proof rushes closing in on ukraine, while diplomatic talks continued in an attempt to find a solution to the ongoing conflict in eastern ukraine political advisors to the normandy for group met once again. on friday, however, the kremlin envoy said no breakthrough was achieved to further than minsk piece agreements, but more on all that. here's our t southgate taylor. it was 20 sixteens version of pulse and our time for wild

leaders, 16 hours of negotiations, sleep deprived john las and a whole lot of hope to finally see the end of a bloody conflicts that had claimed 5000 lives. 7 years ago, the minsk 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. also we thought we lose sure. i think the phrase that the minsk agreement should be fulfilled is like the lord's prayer have you. i'm repeat it under any circumstances, but the issue is different. will the men's agreements be fulfilled and 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 la guns republics on which russia firmly insists. it's our principal position. no message could be clara a pull signature. the one in fact,

his country is shattered by conflict. is trampling over the very agreement that could put an end to it. partly ow to 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 mosquito voters give 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 it, fair with it. my beauty, 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 zelinski 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 terrier uncles is conveniently ignoring the fact that not only happens once the republics get their special status and moscow warns that giving in before then would be a bloodbath. crisco sit on the suit, him say turbos. ukraine is cooling on us all the time to let their troops close the border. but think about what's going to happen next. they'll be a massacre like in cerebral pizza. 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, blinking, 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 blink and accusing his allies in europe of not making good. because that try one last time to resuscitate the agreement, or are they to the situation is absolutely absurd. it shows that almost 8 years 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 at seams are the european plus 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 discuss with guess

whether the current policies western countries are applying to the ukraine crisis are really aimed at such heaving 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, and i'm very concerned about this. let's look at the scenario. the u. s. is now set it wants to pull out it. so a, c, e monitors. today, the o. s. c monitors and don bassett counted a 400 percent increase in the amount of shelling over the last 7 days. daily average 4 times increase and 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 o s. c e 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. they don't really lose anything. do they?

because of russia doesn't invade in 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 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 for american propaganda. can potentially a big decision to be made today, the court of arbitration for sport is going to hold a hearing on sunday on the case of russian figure skater, camilla, well,

i know the 15 year old has been embroiled in controversy at the winter olympics this week after it was confirmed, she test had positive for a bond substance back in december. now she won gold in beijing as part of the russian figure skating team in the group competition. but the metals are being withheld due to the scandal. and this isn't the case is expected to come a day before the female skaters, individual competition, where she's favorite, the top, the podium rushes, figure, skipping federation sees and standing by the teenage 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 in the international. if a committee has said it will help with the investigation to ensure it proceeds smoothly, it will take tough action. if cheating is proven, we talked to a cardiologist to explain to us how the band substance might tell the effect that

camilla ally. but when you put in your many coaches consult with doctors, he don't see the lists forbidden substances. it seems something like this happened to maricia wrap over with mill tony, and see what's also important is that try metacity ins. effects has not been properly studied to people under the age of 18. on the one hand, it's a very mild medicine, more like a victim in that as a whole, science studies how medicines should be prescribed for children. because the under 18 group always requires special clinical research athletes. recovery is usually reached 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 problem. well, the valley of us fans, how being quick to offer her support and the doping allegations of russia. nice dancer told my colleague nikki aaron, that the 15 year old is continuing to train despite the immense 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 this 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. and so much love and i mean, we've been on shows together of ice skating shows and just the dedication amount of work she puts in. it's 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, that's really strange. it's a long time. and there's actually a of regulations of how long the, the to test take though to provide then it's, it's strange that it's been delayed to such a peculiar date with 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, this is 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's amazing at. i've heard from so many different people around the world are how in spot, how amazing her routines were, and they really, truly are memorable. and i think they'll throw the, remember that nurses in the u. k. hell been sucked for it during to question the policy of placing front gender patience in single sex wards. baroness nicholson made the revelation after the house of lords turned down her amendment, which called for patients to be put in wards according to their birth sex. she

warns that the current policy threatened women's dignity privacy and safety traditionally female patients in the n h. s. and private hospitals have been allocated beds in single sex wards accommodating only women patients transgender as m. and i speak as a woman has undermined that provision with the 2019 and h s. guidance authorizing self selection of patient gender on arrival in hospitals . when the current disputed national health service guidelines say trans patients should be accommodated according to their presentation, such as the way they dress, the name they currently use, rather than their biological sex at birth. here's what a senior british health official have to say. danny chess is committed to meeting a suit. he's under the equality act. and as such, needs to give to 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. the rights campaigner clear to me on say's feelings on the issue. randi,

i myself cannot access in a chest treatment. i have been death for 3 years because i cannot go to the hospital because they will not a show male, female clinician. i cannot use an 8 jeff ward's now. i cannot receive treatment and i happened to be a rape survivor. 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. 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 shame. i wrote the solution is for them to

find another way of dealing with this clear dameon to our to see will a deeper dive into any of this. our stories can be fun. just a click away on our t. v dot com no end of content to get stuck into there. i'll see you again in 30 bye for now. mm hm. ah ah ah
