sends only even 40 percent. what pretty truly was a very dangerous thing. with headlines right now, here with our teat russia slams hysteria over its alleged plans to invade ukraine as western countries village by citizens to leave the country amid media claims. if an attack could happen next week, a gas on dozens arrested as french police to clamp down on so called freedom convoy protestors against covey rules, checkpoints, and ahmed vehicles and central paris. nazi reports right from the ha. but i can see the t gas easy for me to just now launched by the police just behind is they were trying to control the crowd. are you doing? what are you doing today? good. and the rest of the made in canada as well,

where the freedom convoy movement 1st emotion countries prime minister labeling the protesters as nothing but a fringe group of extremists. this is a story of a country that does good this pandemic, by being united and a few people shouting and weaving. swastikas does not define who canadian or at rutgers figures. getting federation says it has no doubt that camilla valley eva is innocent of any wrong doing, despite her testing positive for a band substance. a hearing all the teenager sensations case, the court of obligation to support gets underway today with top stories of the week. the main headlines of today, welcome to the weekly its anti international. russia has slammed what it's branded as well manufactured hysteria over ukraine, claiming that a law mr. speculation over imminent invasion is giving key of

a pretext to scupper the minced agreements. a number of countries of our own citizens to leave ukraine and media reports alleging russia will attack its neighbour in the middle of next week. moscow insists it has no designs on ukraine. ortiz. saskia taylor breaks down the latest. as a panic around your crane reaches fever, pitch the wild, be laying back on how it all play out. it's a very different situation and things can go crazy quickly. so crazy and quickly apparently that people are being told to run while they can. we encourage all american citizens who remain in ukraine to depart immediately. we are in the window when an invasion could begin at any time. should vladimir putin decide to order it . and he might be only 15000 kilometers away from care of all the way over in australia. but even from that blink couldn't, could feel the crazy coming. an invasion could begin at any time during the

olympics. any american citizens who remained in ukraine should leave. now the media, i've also been, came to cache in on the hysteria. hyper on every juicy detail about the russian invasion that's been imminent for months after all, the escalation just doesn't bring in the pun, toes, but in all the chaos they just can't seem to agree. let's take but when, for example, now dash be, go on, politico might have money on the 16th bob little bugs, but a little x on the calendar. on the 15th of this thing, the end of the olympics, the 20th is more likely my team's hoping. it's on our day off, and then there's a whole group who say we might be in for a very long wait because it's pretty much a so not great for tanks. so maybe this eminent invasion will come next christmas when the ground has frozen over again. it's almost as if they all got together and decided to pick a date each, you know,

to cover all the faces and just flawed the news. we can talk about the collusion of the authorities of western countries and the media in order to escalate artificial tension around ukraine by the massive and coordinated publication of false information and geopolitical interests in particular to distract attention from their own aggressive actions. then we get to the how now this is why gets really interesting. the media is give us so many options to choose from. would it be a false flag operation? a few stout forces, both from the black sea troops from that training, exercises embarrassed, and just how big will the credit go? 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. ah, now this leads us to our question, should we panic head, the ukrainian president decided to pay it safe and baton? keep calm and carry on. well, she's the thumb. do we have tanks on the streets?

no. so when you read media, you get the image that we have troops in the city. people fling. that's not the case. money. i'm the president of ukraine, and i'm based here and i think i know the details. bethany, but someone really should have told him to look out the window fust. ah, oh no wait. that's a ukrainian vehicle. just rumbling round burning fuel and waiting for that as that imminent threat so imminent. in fact, the ukrainians. all righty. warming up. ah . as wild waits with bated breath for the bull key to make the cool,

the kremlin says it's all but waste of money because that will be no invasion. but still the war hawks. wait. it's a wonder the foreign ministers patience is wearing thin. cheryl and tim stool, i'm disappointed that we seem to have dialogues between a mute and a dead person. they seem to be listening, but don't hes. almost detailed explanations have fallen on rough ground. they say that russia is waiting for the soil to freeze and become like a stone so that tanks can pass safely into ukrainian territory. but it seems that our british colleagues have the same sold today, from which numerous factors that we sites that have bounced. and then again, it could have been, has british counterpart severing to russian cities off from russia. the really pushed him over the edge. you do recognize russia, sovereignty of the roast of unfurnished regions, don't ye? the united kingdom will never recognize russian sovereignty over those regions. poor trust appears short months ago. she was minister for women and qualities. and

now she is foreign secretary and thrown into a crisis before she even had time to google a wall map. a nice she's got have culturally appropriate output sorted out. though the good news is if fun, when the kremlin makes good on its promise to stick to its lane, and the rest of the battles and gamble as a crying over their losses with nothing to show for the effort they put in at least let the trough we'll have a few nice photographs as a souvenir from the good old days. meanwhile, stateside the us president met with a german leader, olaf schultz, joe biden states. the 2 would put up a united front during fractious time with moscow, and threatened to also stop that of the nor stream to gas pipeline. if indeed russia invades ukraine, there will be no longer a north steam to we. we will bring it into. how will you, how will you do that exactly. since the product and control of the product is

within germany's control, we will, i promise you will be able to do well, officials in germany and repeatedly stress the importance of rush and gas for the countries energy needs. now the cold for an end to the political dispute over the pipeline saying it has nothing to do with politics. however, with the latest style of intensifying germany is apparently making a huge on the url rasmussen of the you raise your center, told us who we things has the most to lose by killing the gas pipeline project. europe potentially would be hurt more by these for banking russians and russia would probably do counter thanking. justifiably, go to new also, nor tremendous for me would have been the initiative to do that. they would have a cancellation fee. i'm sure that liabilities related to that. germany, so it will be a big loss for the german economy and we don't have the l and g to actually provide

them with my understanding. there's not sufficient supply of gas anywhere in the world to make up what's provided through through russia. and that's f, the cost, the price would be extremely, even if you did replace the supplies coming from the pipeline. it b, scream, really costly. i don't think russia has any big, right? so it's mostly nato. you pay in the us that are the ones that are advocating in basin rallies in solidarity with canadian truckers protesting copays restrictions have gone global and the french capital over $32000.00 people hit the streets for a so called freedom convoy demonstration. i think it's called petri with protesters breaching police lines and blocking traffic, so the police resorted to tick. has the

ah, the so 54 people were arrested with one reportedly hawkins scuffles with police. a thousands of officers have been deployed and pirates of correspondence. charlotte duplicate that us this report from the ticket as 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 comb. boy, that he's been 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 barricade 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 chia guess that was launched by the police in attempts to control the situation. now you may be aware that the freedom convoy, the so called freedom convoy, was banned by the authorities here in paris. therefore, 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, 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. so what is all of us about? well, as we saw in canada, the freedom convoy is a march for liberties people here demanding that end to the vaccine pass. this is

a pass that regulate who can and who called going to places like restaurants and cafes depending on whether they just recovered from cove it or whether they have been fully vaccinated in bronze. and as a result of that, there remains several 1000000 individuals across france. you are unvaccinated and furious to you. we have been told that in march or april, they will abolish health passage. there 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, for ronald rights and freedoms of being violated. we have the right to work the to spend and be taxed for you guys, but all the price is going up not to mention the ridiculous health rules. 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, so that's the des moines. but this is gone much further than not. what we are

seeing on to mon, similar to not what we have from the yellow vets back in 2018. but there is an issue with purchasing power in france and they want more money spent on public services. these convoys been relatively calm. however, we have seen small incursions between the protestors and the police as they truly make their way through paris. meanwhile, in canada, where the freedom convoy movement initially emerged, a stand off is currently unfolding the countries busiest border crossing with the u . s. a. security forces are trying to clear the ambassador bridge where truckers are blocking the ontario side of the province has declared a state of emergency. now it's about a quarter past midnight now in the capital of ha, crowds of protesters have been, defy, and government please to disperse. by staging a rally turned dance party outside parliament. earlier we spoke with a supporter of the movement, who says it's been tough flipping under strict covert mandates and the movement is peaceful 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. what resonates so deeply about this is that we share love. we're throwing the movement in law me and we're peaceful and bass m nass search that can easily go global. when law enforcement, how to get active with pro chao sir, is what it does is it strengthens the resolve of the protesters. with that being sad, 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 law enforcement has been somewhat active near parliament. but there is really i have witnessed any conflicts

between protesters. if justin trudeau 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 or dozens of arrests have already been made and more than a 1000 fines issued with police sometimes resorting to force or what are you doing? what are you doing when you do? i did. oh, the 78 year old man in this video was detained off to hong king in support of the freedom convoy protest. his hands were reportedly bruised by the policeman during the arrest. a one canadian police officer has accused the government of ignoring the fundamental rights of citizens saying, as a policeman, he can't follow orders any more. what is happening in order with the clear

political influence on the police to physically exert political will on peaceful protesters is so very wrong on so many levels. i was just following orders is no longer an excuse. it is time to stand up and speak out by refusing to preach your fellow citizens fundamental charter rights. you signed up to help people stand with your fellow canadians and say enough is enough. the mass protest broke out off of the canadian government entered vaccine mandates for truck drivers crossing the border with america around a 15 percent of canadian truckers are unvaccinated, and naughty is john hardy referrals to the atmosphere during the protests is peaceful and actually resembles a carnival more like a dance party than better protest right now. i mean to be honest with you, which is really been the case over the last few days. look auto a police say that the situation is volatile. the protesters here the truckers

determined if one thing is true, it's that the supporters of this protest and those that are here are determined they're determined for their voices and their demands to be heard as far as volatility. ah, we know that police had made some arrest, but overall it's been a very like over the weekend, there were balancing castles here, and there are families coming here. and he described it as almost like a winter carnival type festival. the pointed to protest is basically it started with truckers converging upon the city here, january 28th. and auto are fighting against mandatory vaccinations for the trucking industry. and it's really morphed into a much greater protest over canada's coven 19 restrictions. and now a pretty fiery and intense debate about candidates, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of protest, rules and policies. there's a very difficult situation and how do you get all these trucks? hundreds of big rigs with trailers. how do you move them out of the city? if they have no plans on leaving local tow truck companies have said you're not

using us. we have to work with these guys. we don't want to be seen doing this. and some of even told me we stand in support of these truckers, so it's a very, very difficult situation for police and walk the majority of the protestors we've talked and we've talked to many including trackers say have, have really maintain that this is a peaceful protest supporters, men, women, children, continue to come here from all over the country, but none the less that said protesters maintain. this is a peaceful organization. it's a peaceful demonstration. still, canadian officials, including the prime minister and other federal and local officials, have lambasted the ongoing movement. the ongoing protest and the pastor protesters including one auto, a city council member, here's what he had to say. kurney referred to it as sedition today. i think that's exactly what it is. this is theresa, really an insurrection? it's a, it's an attack on our democracy. it's an attack on our federal government. we've

seen similar convoys in the united kingdom, and france and australia, new zealand. we're also hearing about chatter and talk about something similar potentially happening in the united states. a convoy may be even stretching from california, going to washington d. c, possibly disrupting the super bowl, or even president joe biden state of the union speech on march 1st. that remains to be seen, but one thing is very clear. this protest continues here on the ground. in ottawa and other parts of canada. la health officials are defended, the covey restrictions, citing the number of infections in the country. meantime, the canadian prime minister has accused freedom convoy protesters of trying to derail the country's economy and the countries democracy going as far as to label them a fringe group of extremists. this is the story of a country that got through this pandemic by being united and a few people shouting and waving. swastikas does not define who canadians

are. well than a dozen canadian politicians on campaign groups. a calling on the government to negotiate with the truckers. they've opened, or they publish, or to say that in one open letter, which also appeals to the demonstrate is to refrain from violence or hurting any local businesses. one of the signatories as a leading lawyer told r t she believes there's no legal basis for detaining peaceful protesters or people providing them with supplies. i can't speak for ministers intentions, but there hasn't been any sign that he's willing to negotiate. and we're hopeful that going forward when he sees that the protesters are not going to leave without some sort of negotiation. there has been seizure of fuel in which the truckers need to keep warm as you know in canada right now. it's the middle of the winter time. the temperatures are minus 27 degrees celsius overnight and they need that fuel to keep warm because they're sleeping inside of their trucks. and of course there's, there's no legal basis to arrest anyone for giving truckers fuel. i mean,

if there is a charge of mischief, mischief relates to criminal intent and the protesters are not engaging in criminal activity. they're engaging in peaceful protest, which is protected under the canadian charter of rights and freedoms. so the absolute latest this governmental over reach and, you know, we have serious issues with these actions and we've got to hold up in court a hearing on a russian escape, camila leave us doping cases expected to start on sunday. the code of operation sport will decide whether she is able to remain at the olympics after having tested positive for a banned substance in december of correspondence, alexia chef ski has details. there are far more questions now than the answers after the statement. we do have at least some confirmation of what is going on behind the scenes here because it's never been the case in the history of the olympic games when a metal ceremony has been delayed for more than 5 days. now 1st and foremost,

the doping sample which was tested positive was obtained from camila leave on december 25th in st. petersburg, russia during the russian. i see this gauging championship, which of course of i leave a one comfortably and by that in short hope but dissipation in the olympic games that most bizarre part of the story is that the positive results came back on february 8. and i have to explain here since ru sada is rendered as noncompliant by the world anti doping agency, rasa had to send the sample to an accredited laboratory. that laboratory happens to be a laboratory in stockholm, sweden. so the biggest question here is as to why it took more than a month and a half to produce a result from that probe which was taken on december 25th. something which even the head of the russian became interesting is law was nichol stressed in his dress, a dresser. just early on,

i have serious questions about the time that passed between the 25th of december when the sample was submitted in saint petersburg, on the 8th of february, when it was made public. according to the international standards for what a laboratories the deadline for uploading the a sample is 20 days from the receipt of the sample in the laboratory. the fact that it took almost a month to get from st. petersburg to stockholm looks very strange. this rate is very serious questions for me. all other doping tests, both in europe and here in beijing, all of them were negative. that was something confirmed by both the olympic committee and by the russian skating union. by the way, russian skating union produced this statement from us, which we can now listen to the russian figure. skating federation doesn't doubt the honesty and integrity of its athlete. we will make every effort to clarify the circumstances of what happened and will provide the athlete with the necessary comprehensive assistance and support. another hugely important point to understand here is that when the positive result came back again on february, 8th, rou sada,

was following the international protocol and immediately suspended, believe from further participation in olympic games. but the athlete filed an appeal and asked for an expedited process. and on february 9th rou, sada, allowed valinda to continue her participation in the olympic gaze. that has to be a reason for that. that definitely just cannot come out of nowhere. we are waiting for some sort of explanation from the side. of course we understand that the hands full now because we understand that now both the international skating union and the international olympic committee have filed an appeal against ro side as decision to allow. while he were to participate in the games, and this is something that needs to be resolved by february 15th, the latest that is what and female ice gauges will take to the rank in beijing to compete for the metals. here we talk in here, not just about any, any skates. are we talking about one of the most talented skaters on the planet who wowed the crowds? both the sports related and ordinary, you know,

common lovers of sport with our performance last weekend. it was a historical performance for the 1st woman ever in the history of olympic gains to do a double quad on the ice. and don't forget, she is 15 years of age and i have to tell you it's both heartbreaking to think what is running through her had i in any case, there could be no, it could not be as bad as we all think it is while eva is a minor, she is just 15 years of age. so under water's protocol, she's considered as a protected person. so if any punishment comes away, if she's found complicit or deliberately taking this medication and not informing the authorities of any medical reason for that than a punishment in her case, may be lightened. deprivation of metals from the russian olympic team is not even considered at the moment. this is an individual case, or which could even be result after the beijing olympics is olga. we spoke about this with an international lawyer, lucien of alona. he says the test results were relate, released a bit too late,

but he also talks through the possible fall out of this case here. it's not really about the doping case as such because this will be dealt later on and we do not even know if there is a positive the sample cuz i seen various non yet because the information was given on me a very read late. i must say, and that means it actually has to him to write, to request to be sample. so if there is a confused, positive test is not yet even decided. that means the corporation for sport can only assess what will be perhaps the likelihood in their mind. what will happen with this case, which day will not be able to decide themselves the only thing they can decide east suspension for the next event which will be the 15th december rent or not.

and i think given, given the hor, tension and dead big effects that we have such as suspension, they should be very careful in determining this. now the story continues right now . online at r t dot com, check out the op add section, and it's been a really busy week for your worldwide headlines. a lot of big stories making major waves all around the world. over the past 7 days, we are highlighting the top stories. the top of the hour of the seat ah is not expressing itself and having this willingness to lead quite to the contrary, janna is still trying to learn from others and trying to do business with everybody

. kimberly, with russia was the us was the, you know, it's not a nation, and this is something that the whole world needs to understand in china a throw out this history never has this experience of colonization never has just experience of trying to bully others always try to make friends with people ah ah, ah ah ah, ah,

a ah with a silicon valley elite who is out of touch with the rest of the world. this is the key to understanding lucas b walks logic. although it's not the only part, these workers are invisible by design. i akin write code and send your account never talk to anyone is design, see can get the work back on a spreadsheet. if you need to either see these, i know letters and numbers of the identifying the worker, you don't see a name, you don't see where they live. you don't see what their situation as you don't see unless you keep track of it yourself. have they worked for you before or not? so do these ghost workers really know who they worked for?

have they ever heard of lucas b one. we showed them the footage of the figure 8 founder talking about their work ah, with technology can actually find the pay them a tiny amount of money and then get rid of them when you don't need them anymore. you giggling over paying people that isn't. yeah. but now i'm going to start arguing like i do about the eyes when they get me. and today it's kind of surprising, i guess, a little bit to see. there's so openly, openly talking about that view they have of the workforce it's, i guess doesn't always prize me that much, but yeah, it definitely kind of sucks i guess when they could be paying them a lot more.
