ah, a headline story, this our, the leaders of russia and the u. s. whole crisis talk, so made tensions over ukraine and visions on the security policy. so french police fire tier guy to break off a freedom convoy rally as central tourists is blocked off with checkpoints. and armored vehicles are correspondent days in the midst of the actually you can see the t a gas gauge and coming towards us now launched by the police just as they were trying to control the crowd found in canada where the movement started. security forces are facing off against hundreds of truckers locking the ambassador bridge, a key border crossing with
3:01 pm
from moscow to the world. this is our team, my name is unit o'neill and you're welcome to the global news to rhonda our top story. russia has a choose the us, so violating its territorial waters after on the american nuclear power to attack submarine, while spotted off the countries far east coast, it comes to mid heightened tension between the 2 powers. i discussed the story earlier with our t so scheduler, sad to say that the story of the week has been the crisis around you. crane it's what will the headlines are about. politicians got the eyes on its flooding, twitter to one party, which has been ratcheting up the temperature despite all its claims, of course to be the global leader of diplomacy is washington itself. for months it has been pushing this narrative of russia, the aggressive president, putin finalizing. his plans were on the brink of wild will. 3, at the same time,
3:02 pm
cool, sending millions of dollars of western rate to ukraine, deploying thousands of troops. nato troops closer to russia, borders, diplomacy in short, as interpreted by the us. on friday though, the white house is rhetoric reached really unprecedented levels of hysteria. and the message that we heard was basically very simple to anyone who is in ukraine and who was one of us get out while you can winter is coming. an invasion could begin at any time. credible prospect that a rushing military action would take place even before the end of the olympics, that includes the coming days or concerns should leave should leave now. well, despite the u. s, providing upstream in no evidence. in fact, they were refusing to discuss the intelligence the global community pops on to start to beat. got scared. so what we then started witnessing in 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 a prophylactic evacuation. the dutch airlines as well,
3:03 pm
k l m has stopped trying to ukraine for the moment. i know, of course, even going to mention the media is descent into apocalyptic headlines. it seems that the world has taken washington out. its word, of course though, in the past, we've seen that in the, in the past, it's what it's, it's counted for very little. let's remember there's famous claims of saddam hussein's weapons of mass destruction was very telling is that wall says this flurry of activity amongst a foreign contingent in ukraine. there are many within ukraine who logically should be the ones who are most terrified by these warnings. who are simply not buying what washington a salad needed. i don't believe russia will attack us. i don't believe it. i have friends in sackville, in crass and i don't believe it against the furniture when you miss, you know, we hope that it won't start. so we're not thinking about leaving ukraine yet. i think there is a good chance that nothing will happen. transformation when you, when you firstly, where is this information coming from? secondly, russians r sloss and we are a brotherly nation. we will never be split,
3:04 pm
no matter how much the americans want it. and it's not just, i mean, i'm not the person who is looking at this and seeing it for what it is which is madness. since wash has clean time and time again, that has no plans to talk. she prayed at all, is the ukrainian president himself. now we have heard from him before that people need to seriously tone down the hysteria. but on saturday we heard a very clearly frustrated cell and he's speaking out. and essentially what he said is, if you're going to come out here with these kinds of obligations, i need to cough up some evidence. i think there is too much information being spread around today about a full scale war waged by russia. there is even talk of specific day, almost we understand all the rascals. we understand that the risks are there. if you or anyone has any additional information about a 100 chance of an invasion, you give it to us quite an interesting moment to undermine one's. suppose it allies in washington like that. but it really, i think, goes to show how zalinski feels that his country is perhaps being used here. i said,
3:05 pm
when we're talking about washington's political goals and perhaps harder 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 spin from day one. anything new enough front though? well, you know what, it's almost as bizarre twist, because now it seems the key of and moscow who washington, of course, would like us to believe. i'm sworn enemies, are the ones who are now on the same page. because they seem to share this opinion that what washington is now saying is not just completely excessive and hyped up. it's not 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 that path
3:06 pm
to carrying out yet another global provocation campaign. and if we're going to talk about provocation, an american submarine discovered in russian waters unannounced, unapproved, unresponsive to request to leave the apparently, when it was off to surface to sort of show itself, it's scurried away very high speeds. but i mean, a minute true vessel in foreign waters at a time when, according to washington, the wild piece is hanging on by a thread. i mean, it really does take kind of special level of delusion for the us to do that. and then claim that russian was the one that's being the aggressor, but just fine you. what i want to do is just step back all of this and look at the big picture. because one has to say that for western nita's these last couple of months, this week especially has been an excellent opportunity. the p. r. you know you've got president micro france with elections this year. he's been kind of shocking between moscow and keith trying to present himself as this european piece. make it fun when russia doesn't invade ukraine bite and essentially will be seen as the
3:07 pm
savior. you know, he stopped that evil putin in his tracks. he stopped while grill 3. it's a win win situation for the american president. and of course he's going to have the backing of the media's gonna chon out that headline. meaning that no one, and this is what you talk about exactly when, when no one will remember that inflation is at the highest level 40 is no one is going to remember the afghanistan debacle that by all accounts of pollings believed that was an absolute blood for the waiting, the democrats in the midterm elections, he will be writing on this wave really until he leaves office and far beyond because he'll be given, talks about it. but simply, it's another day and not the political game well played. and it seems that kind of the stability and mental health almost of the ukrainians was just collateral damage . thing with this story, we're sir, guess for their views on all the speculation surrounding russia's intentions in ukraine, on washington, tumbling of the crisis. i have said all along that i don't believe russia is going
3:08 pm
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. has now said it wants to pull out it. so a c, e monitors today. the o. s. c, e 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. 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 e mission, out of don 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. 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
3:09 pm
about the use of nate of nato troops or advanced weapons in ukraine. in other words, prohibiting that in the future. but if a russia 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. who can moving on the riot police are all it's in force in the french capital firing, tear gas against freedom convoy activists. thousands of people have gathered fired by the canadian movement against harsh coded restrictions. it's happening despite a band put in place by the french authorities with checkpoints, set up an armored vehicles on the streets or correspondence. charlotte dubin ski
3:10 pm
reports from the heart of the unrest. heard, he could probably see 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 comb or the so called freedom convoy was banned by the authorities here in paris. poor 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. 2 are many, many police out on the street state monitoring everything. in fact we, we started at the last 8 to lee and the police were that stopping the protections from taking the route that they had intended to take. we know that that had been hundreds upon hundreds of verbalize asians already from the police,
3:11 pm
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. 2 also heard that from the police authorities here in paris, suggesting that organizes could face prison sentences. i know so fines of several 1000 euros and i was taking part as well, trying to improve 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 policy to pass that regulate who can and who caused to go into places like restaurants in cafes, depending on whether they've just recovered from coded or whether they have been fully vaccinated in frogs, that means jobs of something like pfizer by own tech plus a booster dose. and as
3:12 pm
a result of that, there remains several 1000000 individuals across france, sheila, unvaccinated and furious, weeping, speaking and hearing from some of those who were on the convoy why they are taking part. if you yeah, we have been told that in march or april they will abolish health pass and he said, was that to encourage us to vote? there are a lot of things that need to change to improve the countries more. the government should stop taking people for fools, randall all rights and freedoms of being violated. we have the right to work the to spend and be tax it for you guys with all the price. is it going on? you know, not to mention the ridiculous health rule. you also, he drives me crazy to see what's going on every, don't you go to 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 not to say that the demands,
3:13 pm
but this is gone much further than not what we are seeing a demand similar to that. what we heard from the yellow vestos 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 a 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 barrel cage. and they are trying to separate the crowd down, the rest of the crowd has moved all away back to away from that plume of chia
3:14 pm
guess that was launched by the police in attempts to control the situation at this comb boy's been relatively calm. however, we have seen small incursions between the protesters and the police as they truly make their way through paris. and we spoke with an activist involved in the french freedom convoy. he sees the movement as simply a way of making the government listen. a, she must all dismal jamal for almost 10 months. we've been protesting every saturday, but the authorities in some media outlets have tried to make these large gatherings look invisible to the what no one was talking about these demonstrations. the old year. we tried all democratic mean and have been brushed aside like chromos law and today the freedom convoys providing a way to finally be heard a little different. there are many reasons to stand up to a government issued. i think the maintenance is to cancel the vaccine which leads to segregation, the suspension from work and inability to his loved ones and hospital or nursing
3:15 pm
home to protest is driven not only by justified desire to resist the government, but also by hope to see. and that's why we're seeing people help each other. i think that's why this one even can windmill, because it is something positive to say it's a way to restore connections between people that have been deliberately 70 some time. let's turn attention to another solidarity. raleigh, happening in the netherlands, truckers are blocking the city center and they have the are not lined up by the government building on our, defying a police order to the 1st organizers say they'll continue their protest for at least the we can could team up with similar movements in france and belgium, freedom convoy is showing truly global, with protest springing up in australia, south street, both countries, i've seen an up swollen public. i'm eager for relentless coven restriction. austria is. vaccine rules are the toughest in the worlds with all adults for 5 cobra shot
3:16 pm
of pay phones up to $36.00 and the euro and in canada were the freedom called boy started a stand off is currently unfolding at the countries busiest border crossing with the u. s good shot thought, isn't it? security forces are trying to clear the ambassador bridge. we're truckers are blocking traffic on the until you side the problem. so it's declared a state of emergency. the prime minister is wanting of severe consequences, while many other say it's a crisis of his own me. 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,
3:17 pm
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? just to recap, the movement started in mid january against the vaccine monday for a canadian cross border truckers and has become a nation rally in point for grievances against the government. a judge has issued on injunction allowing police to forcefully remove protesters from the ambassador bridge and the murder of windsor. ontario says he intends to remove all those demonstrating and hopeful that the vast majority the protestors appreciate the rule of law. appreciate that the court has agreed to grant this injunctive relief.
3:18 pm
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 ottawa 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 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 on 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, having highlighting the grass roots support their protests is getting from large sweets of the public while at the same time pointing to other provinces such as alberta, saskatchewan, unquote, beck, which are all starting to rule about colbert, restrictions and vaccine mandates. the head of an activist group we spoke to see
3:19 pm
the image is being seen. have been a long time in the making. 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. this 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 in droves and we, we don't just have the occupation happening in auto we've, 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 more kids 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 okay, just approaching 20 minutes into the program. we move on to another story, keeping a close eye on the court of arbitration for sports will hold the hearing on sunday on the case of russian figure skater camilla volley of the 15 year old was
3:20 pm
embroiled in controversy at the winter olympics this week after it was confirmed, she'd tested positive for a band substance back in december. she won gold in beijing as part of the russian figures getting team in the group competition some days ago. but the metals are being withheld due to the scandal. decisions on the case is expected to come a day before the female skeeters individual competition where a volley of a is favorite to top, the podium rushes figures. getting federation sees it standing by the teenage outlet. 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, adding it will take tough action. if cheating is proven, we talked to a cardiologist to explain to us how the band substance may have affected camila
3:21 pm
believer. well, i am in your area. many coaches consult with the doctors. you don't see the lesson forbidden substances ross. it seems something like this happened to maria sharon over with maloney m r c. what's also important is that try metacity. effects has not been properly studied for 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 medication. i believe white leslie should be compiled, just give them a list of the products. athletes can take, white lists would have solved the problem. while valley of us fans have been quick to offer her support, amid the doping allegations, a russian ice dancer told my colleague nick urine that the 15 year old is continuing to train and work hard despite the immense pressure. she's now under my
3:22 pm
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 and so much love. and i mean, we've been on shows together vice getting chosen 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, which 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 to provide. and it's, it's strange that its been delayed to such
3:23 pm
a peculiar date with this 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 throw at the, remember that the u. s. has threatened to prosecute russians allegedly involved in the valley of a case, although some are questioning why the u. s. doping agency is getting involved in the case ortiz, danny armstrong. my help us with that. now, if elliptic metals were given out for politicization, the u. s. would probably make a clean sweep,
3:24 pm
of course with squeaky clean athletes to the treatment of camille, of oliver says, as proof that washington's political games of found a new playing field this time on the ice. the heads of america's anti doping agency wants the raj, inc. 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, sport official who conspired to dope valley eva, than the run chunk 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 roger 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 than clarity. and then he simply disappeared into thin air. hardly a whiter than white reputation to enforce fines of
3:25 pm
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
3:26 pm
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 skates are 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 in
3:27 pm
a fair play and sport just go 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 are insanely political per games. the crescent olympics, i mean it's charged with the opposing current and everyone knows that. 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 stop tis posturing, them simply played fair. it might win golds without having to prosecute russian athletes. yeah, an interesting 24 hours ahead on that. no max on, stacy, they're still on the road. then the latest report to catch the show from el
3:28 pm
salvador. right off to the shortest outbreaks. this is art. ah, by the panoramic. no, certainly no borders and there's blood to nationalities and you fresh as emerge. we don't have with the we don't have a vaccine. the whole world needs to take action and be ready. people are judgment, common crisis with we can do better, we should be doing better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great to response has been met. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together
3:29 pm
with ah, well, they directly re sell, advertise as content to us and decide who sees what content when, and how much of it. facebook claims that these algorithms are there to learn about our specific preferences. actually this is untrue from their shaping preference. if tomorrow a person finds a fake poor, legit video with that saying the flat, then this content rank slow, little at least 20 percent or maybe even 40 percent or pretty. that is true. this is a very dangerous thing with
3:30 pm
ah, i a max kaiser. this is the kaiser a poor boyd. i love the smell of burning central banks in the morning. stacy. right . you are referring to this headline, which is a great metaphor for the entire economy as it burns down money printing factory and france is on fire, says russian market, a bank of france factory is on fire in the city of sham. yay. 24 people have reportedly been injured as.
