ah, ah, the leaders of russia and the u. s. whole crisis talk, so made tensions over ukraine on their rift on security policy. we get into this, our also had french police, fire or tear, get us to break up a freedom convoy rally as central porous is blocked off with checkpoint, sound armored vehicles. our correspondence is in the midst of the as you can see, the tear gas isn't coming towards us now. launched by the police just behind us. they were trying to control the crowd. and in canada, where the movement started, security forces are facing off against hundreds of truckers blocking the ambassador bridge. the key border crossing with

southern like 9 pm here in moscow. hope you're having a fine weekend and welcome to the global news updates on our russian has accused the u. s. of violating its territorial waters. after on american nucular power attack submarine will spotted off the countries far east coast. they took place at the time of heightened tension between the 2 powers. but our t southgate era can give us the latest saskia. let's just get our head to run this after all the talk of an imminent russian invasion. it's actually the other way around, and you've got the u. s. navy, encroaching and russia. watson. but i want to take a step back fast. i mean, it's bad to say that the story of the week has been the crisis around ukraine. it's what will the headlines are about politicians about the ice on that's flooding. twitter to one party which has been ratcheting up to, despite all its claims,

of course, to be the global leader of diplomacy is washington itself. the months it has been pushing this narrative of russia, the aggressive president bush and finalizing his plans were on the brink of world war 3. at the same time, cool, sending millions of dollars of weaponry to ukraine, deploying thousands of troops. nato troops closer to rush is bought as diplomacy and shore, as interpreted by the us. on friday though, the white house says rhetoric reached really unprecedented levels of hysteria. and the message that we had was basically very simple to anyone who was in ukraine and who was one of us get out was can winter is coming. an invasion could begin at any time credible prospect that a russian military action would take place even before the end of the olympics. that includes in the coming days or can citizens, should leave, should leave now. well, despite the u. s, providing ups are in no evidence. in fact, they will refusing to discuss the intelligence the global community pops on to

start to be got scared for what we then started witnessing. and the light of those was, was really a mass exodus from kia. so we had dozens of countries gina citizens to leave as quickly as possible kind of proof to lactic evacuation. the dutch airlines as well, taylor has stopped flying to ukraine for the moment. i'm not, of course, even going to mention the media to send into apocalyptic headlines. it seems that the world has taken washington out its word. of course, in the past we've seen that in the, in the past it was counted very little. let's remember those famous claims of saddam hussein's weapons of mass destruction was that repelling. if it was as a flurry of activity amongst a foreign contingent in ukraine, there are many within ukraine who logic should be the ones who are most terrified by these warnings. who are simply not buying washington a salad this, i don't believe russia will attack us. i don't believe it. i have friends in sac

coline crash canada. i don't believe it. against the front tournament. we hope that won't start. so we're not thinking about leaving ukraine yet. i think there is a good chance that nothing will happen when you, when you, when you call, cuz i think if firstly, where is this information coming from? secondly, russians or slots, and we are a brotherly nation where we will never be split, no matter how much the americans want it on. it's not just them, i mean, and not the person who is looking at this and seeing it for what it is which is madness. since wash has claim time and time again, that has no plans to touch ukraine at all. is the ukranian president himself. now we've heard from him before that people need to seriously tone down the hysteria. but on saturday we had a very clearly frustrated salon school speaking out. and essentially what he said is, if you're going to come out here with these kinds of obligations, then you need to cough up some evidence. yeah, i think there is too much information being spread around today about a full scale war waged by russia. there is even talk

a specific day and almost we understand all the risks. we understand that the risks are there. if you or anyone has any additional information about a 100 chance of an invasion, give it to us was a mean was quite an interesting moment to undermine one. suppose it allies in washington like that, but it really, i think, goes to show how, what, how's zelinski feels that his country is perhaps being used here when we're talking about washington's political goals, and perhaps how to control the situation has become one thing that has remained constant though, is russia denying at that they have any plans to invade ukraine not been from day one. anything new enough front though, while you know what? it's almost a bizarre twist because now it seems the key of moscow who washington of course, would like us to believe a sworn enemies. all the ones who are now on the same page because they seem to shad this opinion that what washington is now saying is not just completely excessive and hyped up, but it's not you disrespectful to the people of ukraine. for 2 months,

the u. s. has been saying, russia is going to attack ukraine any day. now. for 2 months, ukraine's president and security services have been saying they don't have such information. and now they're even asking concerned parties to share data. for 2 months, they have been insulting common sense and the ukranian people on their path to carrying out yet another global provocation campaign. and if we're going to talk about publication, let's return to that submarine. you know, an american submarine discovered in russian waters unannounced, unapproved, unresponsive to request to leave the pardon when it was all to soften to sort of show itself, it scurried away at the very high speeds. but i mean, a military vessel in foreign waters at a time what, according to washington, the wild piece is hanging on by a thread. i mean, it really does take kind of special level of tuition for us to do that. and then claim that russia is the one that's being the aggressor, but just fine. what i want to do is just step back in all of this and look at the

big picture. because one has to say that for western need is these last couple of months this week especially has been an excellent opportunity in the p. r. you know, you've got president micro france with elections this year. he's been kind of chuckling between moscow and keep trying to present himself as this european peacemaker. he had a cool with pearson this sack today as the president boynton. what that means is that if and when russia doesn't invade ukraine, bite him essentially will be seen as the failure. you know, he stops evil fruits and in his track, well, when 3 choice a win win situation for the american president. and of course he's going to have the backing of the media is going to check out that headlights, meaning that no one. and this is what you talk about exactly when, when no one will remember that inflation is at the highest 11 and 40 is no one is going to remember the ask honest on debacle. but by all accounts holdings to believe there is an absolute blood ball awaiting the democrats in the midterm elections, he will be writing on this way really until he leaves office and thought be on

because he'll be given, talks about it, but simply, it's another day. and not that political game well played and it seems that kind of stability and mental health for most of the ukrainians was just collateral damage. taska taylor, taking us through all that stuff. okay, thank you. ok. ok, let's get into another headline story today, right? police out in force in the french capital firing tear gas against freedom convoy activists. thousands of people have gathered, inspired by a big canadian movement against harsh coded restrictions. and it is happening despite a band put in place by the french authorities with checkpoints, set up an armored vehicles on the streets or correspondent charlotte dubin ski reports from the heart of the unrest. when i think about the behind me, there are about a 1000 people marching through the street to paris just on this particular protest . now you may be aware that the freedom comb or the so called freedom convoy was

banned by the authorities here in paris. had 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 troy in stock. march is like this taking place. in fact, there are many, many police out on the streets, they monitoring neighbor thing. in fact, when we started, there's not a delay. and the police were that stopping the protections from taking the route that they had intended to take. we know that they had 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 fines of 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 of us about? well, as we store in canada, the freedom convoy is a march for liberties people here demanding that end to the vaccine pass. this is a part that regulate who can and who called to go into places like restaurants in cafes depending on whether they've just recovered from cove it or whether they have been fully vaccinated in frogs. that means 2 jobs have something like pfizer by own tech 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. so the government should stop taking people for fools. 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 might vaccinated prevents me from visiting my mother in a nursing home because i am not vaccinated. oh gosh, 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 talk today. pasco, almost everything is banned now, but we still have the right to protest. it's 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 know,

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 best back in 2018. that is an issue with purchasing power in france and they want more money spent on public services. so a very general to mon. well, as you can 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 comb. boy, that is trying to keep everything in order. would you not 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 barricade age as they are trying to separate the crowd down. the rest of the crowd has moved all the way back to away from that plume of che,

guess that was launched by the police in attempts to control the situation at these convoys been relatively calm. however, we have seen small incursions between the protesters and the police as they truly make their way through paris. down there is another solidarity rally happening in the netherlands. truckers are blocking the city center in the hey, they have not lined off outside a government building and are defying a police order to disperse. organizers say they'll continue the protest for at least a week and could team up with some room events in france and belgium. la freedom convoy is going truly global. now, with protests bringing up in austria, honest, really a to both countries. i've seen an up swell of public anger over relentless coven restrictions. austria's vaccine roots are the toughest in the world. with all adults required to take a cobit shot or peer 5 up to 3600 euro. and in canada,

where of course the freedom convoy began a stand off is currently on falling out. the country's busiest border crossing with the u. s. security forces are trying to peer the ambassador a bridge. that's where truckers are blocking traffic on the ontario side. the province has the current state of emergency with the authorities, claiming the freedom convoys 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 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. a 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 mandates here? the movement started in mid january against the vaccine mandate for a canadian cross border truckers and really has become a nationwide rally and point for grievances against the government. officials have begun to crack down on demonstrators blocking the ambassador bridge, connecting detroit to windsor in ontario. it's the busiest border crossing in north america. a canadian judge has issued a junction allowing police to begin carrying people lodge on the local marseilles. he intends to remove all those protests and hopeful that the vast majority,

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. mm. her business has been closed for 18 months out of 2 years. i felt it at home. there's people have lost their businesses lost their homes. so we understand that pain and we feel in 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 truckers in ontario have been highlighting the grass roots support their protest is getting from large swedes of the public while at the same time pointing to other provinces such as alberta, saskatchewan, quebec, which are all starting to rule backward restrictions on vaccine mandates one

activists in our, to a told us the movement has been a long time in the making. actually been fighting against this for about 3 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. this case 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 rose, 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. can another story we're across today? the court of arbitration for sports will hold the meeting on sunday on the case of russian figure. skater camilla,

the value of the 15 year old has been embroiled in controversy at the winter olympics this week after it was confirmed. she tested positive for a band substance back in december. now she was golden beijing as part of the russian figure skating team in the group competition. but the metals are being withheld due to the scandal. a decision on the case is expected to come today, which is the day before the female scooters, individual competition, where she's favorite to top. the podium versus figure skating federation sees had standing by the teenage athletes. we do not doubt the honesty of our athlete. this case requires a thorough investigation because this whole wild story raises too many questions. meanwhile, the international olympic committee has said it will help with the investigation to ensure it proceeds smoothly now being it will take tough action. if shifting is proven at, we talked to the cardiologist to explain us how the band substance may have

affected camilla. val hello year. the year many coaches console with doctors. he don't see the lists of forbidden substances. it seems something like this happened to maria sharah cover with mold onion are seen. what's also important is that tri metacity ins affects 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, but there's a whole science studies how medicines should be prescribed if it children, because the under 18 group always requires special clinical research. so athletes recovery is usually reached through the right type of training and physical activity, not with medical, 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 we were daniels really strange. it's a long time and there's actually a, a, a regulations of how long the,

the 3rd test take. oh, to provide. and it's, it's strange that its been delayed to such a peculiar day with 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. ah, how in spot, how amazing her routines were, and they're really, truly are memorable. and i think they'll forever be remembered. no neighbourhood is safe. that is the alarming warning from new york police officers, after practically every precinct in the city, revealed a big, big spike and different types of tri no neighbourhood as safe. at this

rate, we will lose the city by saint patrick's day. only the squirrels are safe. tourists will never come back. can let's go through this then several, the 2 of 77 pre sing, some scene crime, shoot up this year with one precinct in the birth of queens. even registering an astonishing 142 percent leap and criminal activity across the city as a whole. indeed robberies and re pub increased by more than a 3rd shootings. they're up 30 percent as well. 3 in 4, american se rescind the funding of police departments as a reason for rising violence across the country. as a whole, voters are particularly against slashing long foresman budgets and poorer and vulnerable neighborhoods. a retired u. s. police officer told us authorities of consulting crime to get is a very bad issue. it's done it. the issue is bail reform. the issue is deals between the defense attorneys and prosecutors. the issues,

lack of accountability for criminal action is just as simple as at the soft on crime approach. didn't make it a more aggressive community building bridge. it made it a better access for criminals to commit crimes and get away with that. we saw this in the last several months with these massive retail thefts being not prosecutor on able to be prosecuted because of the high threshold for items to be stolen. so this is nothing new. this has been a very slow, a frog boiling in the pot theory we, i've saw this, you know, 20 years ago when i was 1st law enforcement. we saw them getting softer and softer on criminals. and here we are now. so this is, this is to be expected and it's going to be a lot worse. and u. s. law enforcement is making social media headlines to after facebook bummed, the page of a hugely popular comic book about the police. the thin blue line page has more than 1700000 subscribers. the platform also blocked all attempts by the author and his team to use facebook on the comics crater mike bar until this his work is pro

police on liberal online giants. don't like, but most these publishers are what we call whoa. which means that they subscribe to the new narrative. and when the narrative says that police are bad, seems absurd, of course. because civilization depends on the rule of law, ureter for the rule of law, you're not. the police are a necessary evil, big tech and we know when they are they are woke as well. and we should, they adhere to the official narrative and the police officers. i know they're good people, they do in the forced to be a positive force in their community. and so they're kind of living the model show don't tell which is it's a principal storytelling, but it's also principle of life as well. that if you feel strongly about a subject or you want to help someone do it, you don't need

a news crew following you around. you don't need to make a press release and a dead describe most the police officers. i know the cia has apparently been spying on americans for years without warrants under a covert program. the evidence came to light after 2 senators asked the agencies director to declassify a study into its intelligence gathering so far, only some of the findings have been released. now they reveal an order by president reagan in 1981 which expanded the power of federal agencies. it allow the cia to embark on its own both collection program, the senator say it amounts to on the tuck on the privacy of the american people. the c, i a has secretly conducted its own both 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 the 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 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, 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. well, in response, the cia said it respects the privacy of americans and is committed to transparency the american civil liberties union though, as slum the agency for quote, an invasion of privacy. while criticism has been building fost online, 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 cia is vacuuming up in bulk and how the agency exploit that information to spy on americans. this invasion of our privacy must stop

a former c. i a analyst john kerry echo again feels public outrage is entirely just the finance. there are 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, 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 or more great programs get their starting moments here in our tea. find out what's showing in whatever part of the world you're in today. i for.
