ah ah, russia thumb hysteria, mo brits elected plans to invade ukraine as west and officials assistance to leave the country amid media planes and attack is just days away. ah! take gas and dozens arrested. as french police clamped down on the so called freedom convoy protested against co that mandate, but checkpoints, and ahmed vehicles in central power all to report the right from the thick of it. as you can see, the tear gas is coming towards us now. launched by the police just behind is they were trying to control the crowd. are you doing? what do you do like a direct encounter as well?

whether freedom convoy movement fox, to much would the country's prime minister labeling the protest this fringe extremis. this is a story of a country that got through this pandemic like being united and a few people shouting and waving. swastikas does not define who canadian, a hearing into the doping case of russian figure skater camila volley of that gets on to way deciding whether she'll be able to father compete in the olympics outside wash and figure skating federation says a compete apax. the youngest, a hello and welcome you all watching all t and it is sunday. so you've tuned in the weekly where we break down the top headlines of the last 7 days to tap you with us. well, the big story, of course, of the week. russia, what a bronze manufactured hysteria over ukraine,

claiming that alarmist speculation over an imminent invasion is giving key of a pretext to stop at the minsk agreements. australia has temporarily shut down its embassy in kiev, relocating all operations to west and ukraine that talk to a number of countries of us citizens to leave. it's all amid media reports and lecturing. russia will attack in the coming days. but moscow insists it has no designs on its neighbor. i gave this breakdown of the latest wave of hysteria. panic around ukraine reaches fever pitch, the walls being lane, but so on. how. 7 it will all play out 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 the way over in australia. but even from bad bullying, 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, every juicy detail about the russian invasion that's been imminent for months after old. p 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 me 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 elim picks 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 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 has given us so many options to choose from when it be a false flag operation. a few scalp for says boats from the black sea troops from that training exercises in belarus. and just how big will the credit and go? it is likely to begin with ariel 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? thank and baton, keep calm and carry on. well, she's the thumb through. we have tanks on the streets. no dull. when you read media, you get the image that we have troops in the city. people fling, that's not the case. my, i'm the president of ukraine. i'm faced here. i think i know the details better here. 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, ah.

as wild wait with baited breath for the book key to make the cool. the kremlin says it's old 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. those cheryl and tim, still, i'm disappointed that we seem to have dialogues between a means and a dead person. they seem to be listening, but don't have almost detailed explanations have fallen on rough ground. they say that russia is waiting for the soil to freeze and become like a stone was a bit. tanks compassed safely into ukrainian territory. it seems that our british colleagues have the same sol today, from which numerous factors that we side sort of bouncing. then again, it could have been, has british counterpart, severing to russian cities off from russia. the really push to move the edge. you

do recognize rushes, sovereignty of the rust of foreigners regions. don't you? 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's a 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, thought out though the good news is if and 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 less trough. we'll have a few nice photographs as a souvenir from the good old days. meanwhile, stateside the u. s. by night to the front during this practice, relations with moscow. and threatened to hold the nor stream to gas pipeline. if russia invades ukraine, there will be no longer a north steam to we,

we will bring it into how we do. how will you do that? exactly. since the project and control of the product is within germany's control, we will, i promise you will be able to do official then germany have repeatedly stress the importance of rush and gas for the countries energy needs. they've called for an end to the political dispute over the pipeline, saying it has nothing to do with politics. however, with the latest found off, intensifying germany as a party, making you tongue o ross and settled your race center, told us who he thinks has the most to lose by killing the project. here a potentially would see hurt more by these for thank russian and russia would probably do counter thanks. justifiably go to new also, nordstrom ended for me would have been the initiative to do that. they would have

a cancellation fee. i'm sure there's liabilities related to that germany, so it'll 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 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 to be stream li, costly. i don't think russia has any big, right? so it's mostly nato. the u. k in the u. s. that are the ones that are advocating based riley's in solidarity with a canadian truck has protesting cobit restrictions. habit seems gone global in the french capital over 32000 people hit the streets for a so called freedom, a convoy demonstration. but things got touchy with protest as breaching police lines and blocking traffic while officers resorted to take us.

ah mm. with of 54 people were arrested with one reported me heart in scoffers with the police. thousands of officers had been deployed in paris. our correspondent shouted to ben's he sent us this report right from the heart of the breast. 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 isn't 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 as they are trying to separate the crowd down. the rest of the crowd has moved all away a back to away from the plume of che, 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 go vote, 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 employee is a march for liberties people, hey, demanding an end to the vaccine. pause. 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 wrong. and as a result of that, there remains several 1000000 individuals across ron shoe are unvaccinated and furious to you. 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. the government should stop taking people for fools around legal rights and freedoms of being violated. we have the right to work to spend and be taxed early, 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, a demand similar to that what we heard from the yellow vests back in 2018, that there is an issue with purchasing power in france and they will move money spent on public services. this convoys been relatively calm, however, we have seen small incursions between the protestors and the police as they truly make their way from paris. meanwhile, in canada, where the freedom convoy movement initially emerged, a stand off is currently unfolding up the countries busiest border crossing with the u. s. security forces. trying to clear the ambassador bridge, where truck has all blocking the ontario site, the province has in fact declared a state of emergency. meanwhile, in the capital offshore crowds of protesters have been defined, government b please to disperse. by staging, a rally turned dance party outside parliament. earlier we spoke with off the

movement. he says it has been tough living on to stretch. clifford restrictions on that the movement is people peaceful for 2 years myself and many like me have endured financial losses and economic hardship. we have endured this for 2 years because of these unreasonable mandates that have never been justified would resonate so deeply about this is that we share love, we're throwing the movement in love me and we're peaceful. and that's a message that can easily go global when law enforcement attempts to get active with rochester's. 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 haven't 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. dozens of arrests have already been made more than a 1000 fines issued with police sometimes resulting to force or what are you doing? what do you do? i did. oh, lots of hobby 78 year old man on this video was detained off the hoping in support of the freedom convoy protest his hands why report to meet bruce during the last

one canadian piece also has the keys, the government up at the noisy fundamental rights of citizens. thank you. just 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. while the mass protest broke out off to the canadian government, introduced a vaccine, a mandate for truck drivers crossing the border with the west. it's thought around 15 percent old canadian truck has on the fine arts is john had to report at the atmosphere during the protest is peaceful and resembles a carnival or like

a dance party, the 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 protestors here the truckers determined if one thing is true, 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. we know that police have made some arrest, but overall it's been a very like over the weekend, there were balancing dazzles here and there are families coming here. i 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 fighting against mandatory vaccinations. for the trucking industry, it's really more 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 somebody 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 protesters 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 vac 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 ottawa city council member, here's what he, she had to say a carney referred to it as sedition today. i think that's exactly what it is. this

is treason, 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 dc, 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. well, health officials defended the co that restriction, citing the number of infections in the country. the cajun prime minister has accused to freedom convoy protesters of trying to do railed the country's economy and democracy going so far as to label them a fringe group of extremists. this is

a story of a country that got through this pandemic, by being united and a few people shouting and weaving. swastikas does not define who canadian recent opinion. polls show that only half of canadians would vote for the current prime minister based on his actions over the last 2 weeks, though only 30 percent actually believed that the politician acted like a leader was supposed to a member of the regional parliament, the governments of to us says that the federal government's accusations of violence are fabricated and you'll sort his actions unconstitutional. no, it's absolutely a false sheet. it's a fabrication. it's a pretext for what our government is doing. this is a very peaceful, friendly, energetic festival in winter carnival buddies, hockey. and hopelessly distort and fabricate,

fabricate dishes. in any evenings, violet or dangerous is wholly reprehensible because it does provide them to cover to what you're actually doing. and that is in the key to talk against our cost to ship a, removing all the checks and balances on, on political and government afford. that's what is happening here in candidate in for many canadians. very, very difficult for many attorneys to believe that our government would act in such a rep, potentially. and such a destructive medical. it has to keep his character on wrapping up published and the sour a hearing has got underway and the dope in case of russian figure skater, camila valinda, all the court of arbitration for sport will decide whether she can carry on competing out the beijing winter olympics. that's off the she tested positive for

bon substance, up, back in december brushes, figure skating federation is adamant that she's innocent. 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 before and after december 25 in 2021. the athlete repeatedly took doping tests including engaging during the figure skating turn. not all the results were native. a 3 man panel off court of arbitration for sports has started its meeting in beijing in a hotel behind closed doors, to seal the fate and deliver a decision on camila. val eva a 15 year old russian ice figure skater, who found herself in the middle of another scandal here in beijing when it was reported that one of her doping samples taken on december 25th brought back

positive result for try met. as a dean add drug, which is considered an illegal substance by the world anti doping agency, now water, the i o. c and the international skating union, all filed and appeal against the russian anti anti doping agencies decision to allow camille of oliva to participate in the olympic games. she won the appeal very quickly on february, 8th of the result came back with a positive or with a positive probe. and on february 9th or sada, decided to let camila val eva to participate. we still don't know the details as to why rosetta has taken that decision, but the 3 organisations, the i o. c, the world anti doping agency and of the international skating union union, all filed an appeal against a decision. this is something that they a cas panel will have to review. now we do know that on this panel there are 3 people, one from the united states, one from italy, and one from slovenia. and it's important to note here that they will only review

camila, believe us further participation in the olympic games they are expected to deliver their is in, by monday evening bathing time. and on tuesday, the female figure skating individual performances will start image in beijing. and if camille of oliver is deemed innocent by the cas panel, she will continue participating there hoping to win another gold for the r o c team . we understand from multiple sources with inside knowledge of the situation that the a legit doping case will be reviewed later even possibly after the olympics. which still cost a bit of a shadow uncertainty over the metal ceremony itself of the team figure skating event a just to remind that is unprecedented in the history of the olympic games that its been delayed for a week. pretty much every one on the russian side of the spectrum, the sports ministry, the russian skating union, all have been st. camila believe us in a sense, believe australia at $82.00 bitty,

the also gave a short interview on the situation. also saying that val eva was innocent, but in the latest news with her that the world anti doping agency will also investigate camila leave us answering her train us and doctors as part of this case . but most likely this will, of course, drag on after the olympics is over. i'm closely monitoring this developing story and of course we'll update all of us with the latest information as soon as i get it. he and by jing on monday night, we are expecting a decision on camila, believe us for the fate. alexia shasky, archie reporting from beijing in china. we spoke with international law, andy sim, valona. he says that the test results were reduced to late, and possibly that does offer a full cost of what's to come here. it's not really about the doping case as such because these will be dealt later on and we do not even know if there is a positive b sample test. i think there is none yet because the information was given only

a very late, i must say. and that means that actually has still the right to request to be sample. so if there is a convenient, positive test is not yet even decided. that means the court of arbitration 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 ease suspension for the next event, which will be the 15 december rent or not. and i think given, given the heart tension and the big effects that we have, such as suspension, they should be very careful in determining this for the taping case, investigation was still ongoing. the ios,

he repeatedly asked the median not to speculate on it. now certainly didn't stop cnn from pouncing on the allegations. cnn has confirmed that the only minor on that team is the 15 year old camila vi ever seen. it has learned that a russian figure skater has failed a drug test, and that person is a minor russian olympic athlete, supposedly tested positive as am i supposed to be surprised if you watch this and i don't suggest anybody does. but if you want to see absolutely the most biased a unconfirmed speculation, 1st of all sheet a minor. and the last, i check one of the reasons for the alleged secrecy to protect a 15 year old. and we know everything, we know this traumatized the we know the drug, we know her name. oh, but, but by the way, she's a minor to imagine the pressure of anybody to be the olympics. imagine they'd be 15

years old, but imagine that you are right now in the, the, the cross hairs of this media microscope. and you theoretically, haven't been accused of anything. it's almost as though, and i merely speculating because after all, see it and love speculation. so i'm going to speculate, it's almost like saying, listen, if you enjoy your time here speaking on behalf of failure, this olympic event, it would really behoove you to say as much as you can to insinuate to imply to basically in p own and, and indict russia based on nothing, let's face it, they have found russia guilty by virtue of some body of evidence. we have not been made privy to. it's despicable. well that's how things are looking at the moment of next pay on our to $1.00 of our award winning document change is one of the beautiful mediterranean. just how like this changing above and then no,

it's more to enjoy. ah, ah, john is not expressing itself for having this willingness to lead time to the coach a china is still trying to learn from others and trying to do business with everybody, particularly with russia, with us, which the, you know, it's not often child nation and this is something that the whole world needs to understand. china throw out history. never has this experience of colonization. never has just experience of trying to bully others. always try to make friends with

join me every 1st day on the alex salmon show. but i'll be speaking to guess from the world of politics, sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then ah .
