ah, ah, the leaders of russia and the us hold crisis thought amid tensions over ukraine and divisions on security policy. french police fire take us to break up a freedom convoy rally the central part is blocked off with checkpoint. some ahmed vehicles are correspondent reports right from the heart of the action. well, as you can see, the t gas isn't coming towards us now. launched by the police just behind is they were trying to control the ground. and over in canada where the movement started. security forces are facing off against hundreds of truckers block in the ambassador bridge. a key border crossing with

is 3 am on sunday morning here in moscow. my name is peter scott and wherever you join us from well can to 30 minutes of news and analysis are not the international . and our top story this, our russia has accused the u. s. a violating is territorial waters. now it's after an american nuclear power attack submarine was spotted off the countries for east coast. now it comes to mid heights intentions between the 2 powers. and meanwhile, the u. s. is the u. s. military stories are jake to the accusations and refuse to specify the area with operations. all these stuff gets ala spoke to, you know, neil about this earlier fat to say that the story of the week has been the crisis around ukraine. 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 bush and finalizing. his plans were on the brink of wild

will. 3 at the same time, 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's 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 in the coming days or concerns, should leave should leave now. well, despite the u. s. providing ups in no evidence, in fact they were refusing to discuss the intelligence the global community pops on to start to be got scared. so what we then started witnessing in the light of those was, was really a mass exodus from kiya of. so we had dozens of countries tonight, citizens to leave as quickly as possible kind of

a prophylactic evacuation. the dutch airlines as well k l m, has stopped flying to ukraine for the moment. i know, of course even going to mention the medias to sent 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 is what it's, it's counted for very little. let's remember those famous claims of saddam hussein's weapons of mass destruction was very telling is that whilst as this flurry of activity amongst the foreign contingent in ukraine, there are many within ukraine who logic. he should be the ones who am most terrified by these warnings. who are simply not buying what washington is selling? little to hit it. i don't believe russia will attack us. i don't believe it. i have friends in sack a linen crashing into it. i don't believe it, my user friend joining the snark. 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 when you, when you, when you come up with the gift. firstly, where is this information coming from?

secondly, russians or slobs and we are a brotherly nation. we will never be split, 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 to crane at all. is the ukranian 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 salon. he's speaking out and essentially what he said is, if you're going to come out here with these kinds of obligations and you 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 dates 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 he 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 that's become one thing that has remained constant though. is russia denying at that they have any plans to invade ukraine? that's been from day one. anything you an up front though? well, you know what, it's only if this is all twist because now it seems the key of moscow 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 share this opinion that what washington is now saying is not just completely excessive and hyped up, but it's actually 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

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 on approved, on responsive to request to leave the apparently, when it was off to suffolk, to sort of show itself it's scary to weigh very high speeds. but i mean, a minute true vessel in foreign waters at a time when, according to washington, the world peace 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 russia is the one that's being the aggressor, but just find you what i want to do is just step back with all of this and look at the big picture. because one has to say that for weston nita's these last couple of months, this week especially has been an excellent opportunity for p r. you know, you've got president of micro france with elections this year. he's been kind of shocking between moscow and keep trying to present himself as this european peacemaker. he had a cool with pearson this saturday as the president boynton. what that means is that

if on, when russia doesn't invade ukraine, as by the way did fightin. and what we heard, again, was this rehashing of really what we've heard and conversations all those times before russia for the a 1000 time saying we are not going to attack ukraine. america saying we don't believe you. we think that you are very aggressive, and by the way, if you're lying to us and you even touch ukraine with a finger, there is going to be a serious price to pay. what really, all this means though is that if and when russia does indeed not invade its neighbor, i mean bite and especially is going to come looking out like a said he will be the hero who saved the world from war and stop the evil to 10 in his tracks and of course the media will support him still be churning out that headline, which means that all the articles about how inflation is at record high hasn't been as bad in 40 years. those articles were just drop right to the bottom of the page. no one will remembered the debacle of the afghanistan withdrawal. no one will be

interested in the fact that by all accounts, and if polling is believed, there is an absolute blood path awaiting the democrats at the midterm elections bite and will be writing on this way. loading the putin and joe biden had a conversation by phone on saturday brought ford of the request of the white house . now the oval office released a statement following the call center. america was open due to diplomacy, but it was equally prepared to impose severe costs on russia in the events of an invasion. russia's foreign policy adviser, yuri, osha, cough said the pretend spoke about the danger of foreign military aid flowing, insecure of rush with the president. drew attention to the danger of militarize in ukraine is western countries a purposefully pumping the country with modern weapons, which encourages possible provocations by ukrainian security forces towards dumbass and crimea. pos can't point to any evidence backing up their claims of this intelligence that somehow rushes

a poised for an imminent attack on ukraine. and because they can't point to any sources either. in my opinion, there is no credible evidence that russia is about to attack ukraine. um, and i don't think anybody in the world believes them anymore because their intelligence in the past has been faulty, manipulated men used as pretext for war such as the tonkin gulf incident that provoked the yacht vietnam, the bombing of north vietnam, or the weapons of mass destruction which provoked the attack on iraq. so i don't think anyone believes their intelligence. i think this is an artificial crisis created by the u. s. and the reason that they're not sharing any intelligence with mr. is a lens. he and ukraine is because he is merely upon their game. he is not to be consulted at the highest level. he is just expected to do what the imperial master tells him to the talk of war is only making things worse for mister zalinski. and i,

i think that our us relations with ukraine will continue to slow deteriorate ad. the longer this crisis goes on in the news over 32000 people took part in a freedom convoy protest in paris, which was inspired by the canadian movements against harsh coded restrictions. now i believe the 54 people so far had been arrested with riot police. fine, tear gas out. the activists. our correspondence shall de bends. he senses this report from the hearts of you. i think above we see behind me there are about a 1000 people marching through the street to paris. yes. 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. or at thousands of vehicles are 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 in stock. march is like this taking place. in fact, there are many, many police out on the street state monitoring and everything. in fact where we started at the last day to lee and the police were that stopping the protesters 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 organizers could face prison sentences. i know so fines of several 1000 euros, and i was taking part as well, trying to provoke 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 going to places like restaurants in cavities depending on whether they just recover from co that or whether they have been fully vaccinated in frogs. that means 2 jobs have something like 5 or my own tech plus a booster. and as a result of that there remains several 1000000 individuals. hi sheila, unvaccinated and furious, weeping, speaking and hearing from some of them you are on the convoy why they are taken wrong. if you, you 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 country small. the government

should stop taking people for fools around all rights and freedoms of being boiling . we have the right to work the to spend and be time for you guys with all the price is going on. you know, not to mention the ridiculous health rule. you also, he drives me crazy to see what's going on. i don't know the passcode to, to almost everything is banned now, but we still have the right to protest. it's the only right we have left in 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 like the so that's the demand. but this is going 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 crowds, 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 as 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 che 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 the police as they truly make their way through paris. earlier we spoke with an arts of is involved in the french freedom convoy and he says, the movement is simply a way of making the government lesson

a. she lost all his molds more for almost 10 months. we've been protesting every saturday for the authorities in some media outlets tried to make these large gatherings look invisible. what no one was talking about these demonstration the whole year. we tried all democratic means and have been brushed aside like chromos, willow, and today the freedom convoys providing a way to finally be heard little. there are many reasons to stand up to a government issued. i think the main to mind is to cancel the vaccine which leads to segregation suspension from work and inability to visit loved ones in hospital or nursing home. this the protestors that driven not only by justified desire to resist the government, but also by host. and that's why we're seeing people help each other. i think that's why this movement can win because it is something positive. it's a way to restore connections between people that have been deliberately severed for some time. and there's another solidarity rally happening in the netherlands, truckers are blocking the city center in the hague. they've lined up outside

a government building and are defying a police order to disperse. organizers say they'll continue their protest for at least a week and could seem with similar movements in france and belgium. the freedom convoy is going truly global. now, with protests bringing up in australia and austria. both countries have seen mounting public anger over relentless coven restrictions. austria's vaccine roles are some of the toughest in the world. with all adults required to take a covey shot or pay fines of up to $3600.00 euros. meanwhile, in canada, a standoff is currently unfolding at the countries busiest border crossing with the u. s. security forces are trying to clear the ambassador bridge, where truck is involved with the antique cove. it mandates freedom convoy a blocking traffic. on the ontario side, the province has declared a state of emergency, and the nation's prime minister is warning of severe consequences,

though many say it's a crisis of just into those own making. if you join the protests, because you're tired of coven, you now need to understand. you are 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? now the movement started back in mid january against

a vaccine mandate for canadian cross border truckers and has become a nationwide rallying point for grievances against the governments. a judge has now issued an injunction, allowing police to force protested from the ambassador bridge and the mayor of windsor ontario says he intends to remove all those demonstrating. am hopeful that the vast majority of the protesters appreciate the rule of law to appreciate. 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 them. 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 at home, there's people who lost their businesses, lost their homes. so we understand that pain and feeling. 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 where we want the truck is in ontario, i've been highlighting the grass roots support. their process is getting from large sways the public. one of the same time pointing to other provinces such as alberta, saskatchewan, and quebec, which all starting to roll back, kobe restrictions on vaccine mandates in the capital or to where you can see these live pages here. processed is a currently gathered on parliament hill despite government attempts to subdue the anti mandates movement. moreover, witnesses say more trucks are traveling to alter and police anticipate new arrivals . the protest over the course of the weekend. now we can cross live now to benita peterson, a freedom convoy organizer from alberta who is currently at the protest in also not too far from the canadian parliament, but it's a welcome to our international thank you for joining us. and thank you so much for

having me. and just to clarify, i'm a conway promoter and supporter. okay, my apologies. you are currently welcome in the saturday evening over there right now. what's the atmosphere like on the ground? the i just came from the parliament grounds. the atmosphere is very high energy. there's music playing people dancing. it's incredibly incredibly cool. but that doesn't bother anyone. there is a lot of positive energy on the grounds. once in a while, law enforcement walks through. but all they do is they walk through, they don't disturb anyone, and the atmosphere is incredibly positive. now the things have been a recent shift from words to action with security forces attempted to remove people from the ambassador bridge. what is the significance of this for your movement when law enforcement, a chance to get active with pro chester is what it does is it

strengthens the resolve of the protestors. with that being said, this group is determined to move forward in peace. and anybody who does not behave in a peaceful manner is not associated with this group. and so long foresman has been somewhat active near parliament. but there is really, i have witnessed any conflicts between protesters. what was most interesting about today was what happened at the war memorial today, the parliament, for whatever reason, the war memorial had been. and so what happened today is canadian veterans came in and they removed the fencing. law enforcement showed up by the time they showed up, the job was mostly done and there was a group of people that stood between law enforcement and the veterans as they went about their work. so long foresman could do nothing about it. the veterans simply stacked up the fencing and later on my understanding is the city of ottawa folded

away, volunteers cleaned up the site, they scraped the ice and took the snow away and cleaned it up the way it should g. we honored our war memorial today by removing the country to a lot of reports and coverage. the freedom convoy has been receiving and talking about reports on coverage. you might have heard our package previously when you're moving, going global. they're out of pocket for francis in australia and austria. what do you think resonates so deeply about the freedom convoy movement? what resonates so deeply about this is that we share love. we're growing the movement in love, and we're peaceful. and that's the message that can easily go global, do it with love and peace. we do not consider those who are not yet like minded to be our enemy. we look at everyone around the world as our potential ally,

and we just simply invite you to join us in the freedom mindset. not only of the honda of all of us have been reports of hundreds of millions of dollars of business lost people losing shifts. the inconvenience that is being caused. what would you say to those critics of the freedom convoy and the disruption is the cost? for 2 years myself and many like me, how endured financial losses and economic hardship. we have endured this for 2 years because of these unreasonable mandates that have never been justified. therefore, if some people are enduring, some hardship right now, that is completely justified. you cannot expect people to endure at length for an extremely extended period of time. 2 years is enough. we've been protesting for 2 years by being at our legislature grounds across canada by dealing at parliament

for 2 years. we've had a presence at least once a week since march of 2020. it's been almost 2 years since these protest took place and the protest have been ignored. it was necessary then to round that up and protest in a more intense manner. and just introduce is firm and is using isn't showing no signs of bucking down. what do you make of his response to your movement? if just ensure doe was a person of integrity, he would come out and he would talk to various leaders in the freedom movement, including the leaders of the freedom convoy. that would be, if he was a person of integrity who truly was interested in democratic rule. this movement has affected millions of people across canada. the freedom movement is happening spontaneously in towns and cities across provinces. it's happening everywhere. and

just and you know, should be addressing it. he's not, he's not meaning it had on he's been invited to come to meetings. he hasn't attend any of the meetings. and we're very disappointed with just intruder. and i've got time just one more question. benita. some states and canada rolling back mondays. what does it say about the unity or lack of the central government? the in alberta for example, where i'm from, they rolled back some of the mandates but not all. and what the protesters are after is a complete answer. all the mandates, the vax passed the mass wearing the social distance thing, all of it, even the testing. and so we're looking for an end to all of the mandates immediately. and the trucks that are parked in ottawa right now are prepared to stay part until that happens. well, benita peterson albert to freedom, convoy organizer, thank you so much for your insights into the movement. the

cause of arbitration for sports will hold a hearing on sunday on the case of russian figure skater camila value. however, the 15 year old was embroiled in controversy or a debating winter olympics. this week after was confirmed. she tested positive for a bun substance back in december. now she won gold some days ago as part of the russian figure skating squad in the team competition. but the middles have been withheld due to the scandal. a decision on the case is expected to come a day before the female skaters, individual competition, where believer is favorites at the top, the podium rushes figure skating federation says, is 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 proceed smoothly. i think it will take so faction, if cheating is proven, we thought to a cardiologist to explain to us how the bun, substance in question may of a fated camila valley ever will know. year in year many coaches consult with doctors. he don't see the lists of forbidden substances. it seems something like this happened to maria. she rap of her with melatonin or see what's also important is that try metacity. 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 vitamin that there's 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 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 solve the problem. well,

those are the main stories. this our feel free to head over to our t dot com or our social media pages for more. my name's pizza scott's, and i'll be back again at the top of the hour. ah, with one email, they directly resell advertisers, 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. they are shaping preference. if tomorrow person finds a fake poor legit video we're saying the earth is flat, then this content ranks. huh. at least 20 percent or maybe even 40 percent

old really that is true is a very dangerous thing. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk ah, i am ash kaiser. this is the kaiser a poor boy. i love the smell of burning central banks in the morning station. 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 shaw me. a 24 people have reportedly been injured. it's not clear whether any cache has gone up in flames had hip r t that com sky is the limit. the clean fix is this. indeed, the big claim that you don't have the problem of your money printer going up in flames. but you know, this is a great metaphor for what's happening in the money world around the world. it's all going up in flames. either actually in reality or figuratively as big coin becomes a global standard. so good by fee of money. hello bitcoin. of course we and kaiser report covered alex schaffer burning banks. the famous.
