for a mis stories out, shape or wake russia, slums, hysteria over its allege plans to invade ukraine. western countries urged their citizens to leave the country amid media claims that an attack is just days away. also. ah, with tear gas, some dozens arrested alice french police clumped on freedom convoy protesters rallying against kobe mandates. r t reports from the thick of things as well. as you can see, the tear gas is coming towards us now. launched by to police just behind is they were trying to control, grab a arrest in canada as

well, where the freedom convoy movement 1st emerged with the countries prime minister labeling the protesters fringe extremist. this is a story of a country to go through this pandemic by being united and a few people shouting and waving. swastikas does not define who canadians are found the hearing into the doping case of russian figure skater camila valley of gets under way. deciding whether she'll be able to further compete in the winter, olympics rushes figures getting federation saves it completely box their 15 year old star with what they tell stories for the past 7 days. and right up to the moment developments as well. welcome to the weekly art. see, i mean another rushes slammed? won't it splendid manufactured his steel over ukraine,

claiming that alarmists speculation over and eminent invasion is giving key of a pretext to scupper the minsk agreements among the latest countries to take action . australia temporarily shut down its embassy in kiev, relocating all operations to western ukraine, while, as you can see here are a number of nations i've urged their citizens to leave the country. i dried the backdrop to that. being endless media reports alleging russia tuck in the coming days. moscow has continually denied any such allegations. years ortiz saskia taylor on the latest wave of syria. as a panic around ukraine reaches fever, pitch the wilds been laying bats on how it will all play out. this a very different situation and things could go crazy quickly. so crazy and quickly apparently the 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 fly to recruit and decide to order it. and he might be always 15000 kilometers away from care of all the way over in australia. but even from babbling, couldn't could feel the crazy coming. an invasion could begin at any time during the olympics. any american citizens who remain in ukraine should leave. now. the media have also been keen to cache in on the hysteria, hyping up every juicy detail about the rush invasion that's been eminent for months after all d escalation just doesn't bring in the punters. but in all the chaos they just can't seem to agree. let's take that when, for example, now dash be go on, politico might have money on the 16th, but blood bugs, but a little x on the canada, on the 15th of this thing. the end of the olympics at 20th is more likely my team's hoping. it's on our day off, and then as a whole group who say we might be in for

a very long wait because it's pretty monday, so not great for tanks. so maybe this imminent invasion will come next christmas when the ground has frozen over again, it's all is as if they all got together and decided to pick a date each, you know, to cover all the bases and just flood 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 give us so many options to choose from. would it be a false flag operation? a few scalp for thin boats 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. all. when you read media, you get the image that we have troops in the city. people fling. that's not the case, minute. i'm the president of ukraine, and i'm based 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 bunning 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. those jewell and teamster, 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 cited of bouncing. then again, it could have been, has british counterparts, 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 trusts a few 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 wild map and missed he's got her come to the appropriate outfit sorted out. though the good news is if and when the kremlin makes bird on its promise to stick to its lane, and the rest of the better than gamble as a crying over the law says, with nothing to show for all the effort they put in at least less trust will have a few nice photographs as a souvenir from the good old days. saskia taylor, meanwhile, stateside the u. s. president meant were german liter, olaf schultz. this week, joe biden said the 2 would put up quote,

a united front and relations with moscow, and threatened to hold the nord stream to gas pipeline. if russia invades ukraine, there will be no longer a nor stream to 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, do all the officials in germany have repeatedly stressed the importance of russian gas for the countries energy needs. they've call for an end to the political disputes over the pipeline, saying it has nothing to do with politics. however, with the latest stand off intensifying berlin is apparently making a u turn. earl rasmussen of the eurasia center, a think tank to las who he believes has the most to lose by killing the project. europe potentially would be hurt more by the, for banking,

russian and russia would probably do counter thanking. justifiably go to new also, nor tremendous for me would have been with the initiative to do that. they would have a cancellation fee. it's all, i'm sure is liabilities related to that, jeremy. so it will be a big loss to the german economy and we don't have the l and g to actually provide minor standards, not sufficient supply of gas anywhere in the world to make up what's provided through through russia. and as far as the cost, the price would be extremely, even if you did replace the supplies coming from the pipeline, it to be stream really costly. i don't think russia has any. right. so it's mostly may know you pay in the us that are the ones that are advocating in basin rallies in solid. doroty with canadian truckers protesting cobra restrictions have

gone global in the french capital over 32000 people hit the streets on saturday for a so name freedom con boy demonstration. things got techy with some protesters breaching police lines on blocking traffic, while officers resorted to tear guns. ah mm. with 54 people were arrested with one person reportedly hurts in scuffle to police. thousands of officers. miller had been deployed in paris. our correspondent charlotte, to pesky reports now from the center of the action in the french capital. 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 comb. boy that he's 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, have forming a barrett cage as they are trying to separate the crowd down. the rest of the crowd has moved all away back to away from that plume of cheer guests 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. or at 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? well, as we saw in canada, the freedom calling boy is a march for liberties people, hey, demanding an 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 covered or whether they have been fully vaccinated in bronze. and as a result of that may remain several 1000000 individuals across wrong. she was unvaccinated and furious. here 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, owner rental rights and freedoms of being violated. we have the right to work to spend and be taxed early 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 a demand similar to not what we heard from the yellow vestos back in 2018. that is an issue with purchasing power improvements and they will more money spent on public services. these convoys been relatively com, however, we have seen small incursions between the protectors and the police, as they truly make their way through paris. and in canada where the freedom of convoy movement initially emerged the stand off is unfolding the country's busiest border crossing with the u. s security forces are trying to clear the ambassador

bridge where truckers are blocking the ontario side. the province has declared a state of emergency. now we spoke to one of the protesters who's been taking part in the blockade. he sees the vaccine mandates are causing far more economic harm than the bridge demo. what was done at the bridge with statements. and i can't imagine that it was a drop in the bucket compared to what the government's done to the last 2 years. imposing their will upon the people. they have openly incited hatred and part of the population. justin trudeau, a man who's been caught numerous times and black men accused of being reporters and, and he's, they're saying like a projector just projecting what he is that all the people down there are massage instruments. this me are holding on, you know, the bad news that opinions urge you folks. i walked down there and it was a loving event. people were bringing their family. we just want a right to be respected and we want these mandate to end. they are killing

everything. they've put everything screeching halt. so what we've done here is nothing compared to the damage that these elected officials and non elected officials have done to the people of the free world that have the end and we are not ending right now. both score is over, rest helping made sense to protests 1st began in canada than more than a 1000 fines issued to with police, sometimes resorting to force or what are you doing? what do you do? i did. oh, this week a 78 year old man was detained after honking his car in support of the freedom convoy protests in also why he reportedly suffered severe bruising during the arrest. one canadian police officer we spoke to was accused the government of ignoring the fundamental rights of citizens saying, the count, follow orders. and what is happening in ottawa,

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 mos protests broke out after the canadian government introduce vaccine mandates for truck drivers. crossing the us border around 15 percent of canadian truckers or on bucks ortiz jones hubby reports that the atmosphere here experienced during the protest work, comb, abuse or like a dance party that had been approach asked 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 are the truckers

determined. ah, if one thing is true, it's that the supporters above 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 have made some arrests, but overall it's been a very like over the weekend, there were balancing castles 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 iowa are fighting against mandatory vaccinations. for the trucking industry, it's really morphed into a much greater protest over canadas, coven 19 restrictions. and now a pretty fiery and intense debate about canada's freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of protest, roles and, and, 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 trucker. so it's a very, very difficult situation for police and luck. 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, protests 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 and is ation. 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 had to say. kurney 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,

pushy 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, maybe 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 can turn to while authorities are seeing health officials in canada have defended the cupboard restrictions. citing the number of infections in the country, the prime minister has even accused freedom convoy protesters of trying to de real 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 waving. swastikas does not define who canadian

or but to canadians agree with that. one recent opinion, polls show that only half all people there would vote for the current prime minister based on his actions of the past 2 weeks. less than 30 percent. believe the politician acted like a leader was supposed to a member of the regional parliament which governs auto essays. the federal government's accusations of violence are fabricated. the authorities actions unconstitutional? no, it's absolutely all sync it's a fabrication. it's a pretext for what actually our government is doing. this is a very peaceful, friendly, energetic festival and winter carnival that is happening to purposely do store and fabricate, fabricate that dishes. in any means, violet or dangerous is wholly reprehensible because it does provide them

to cover to what you're actually doing. and that is in the to, 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 kent, in for many canadians, very, very difficult for many chinese to believe that our government would act in such a reprehensible and such a destructive medical against the keeping of character. a hearing has got underway into the doping case of russian figure, skater camilla belly of the court of arbitration for sport. we'll decide whether she can carry on competing off the beijing winter olympics after she tested positive for a band substance back in december rushes figures. getting federation is adamant, the 15 year old is 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. as 3 men 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 old,

filed an 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 organizations, the i o. c, the world and i 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 decision by monday evening bathing time. and on tuesday,

the female figure skating individual performances will start image in beijing. and if camille of oliva is deemed innocent by the cas panel, she will continue participating. they're 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. lights out 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, these 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 answer ross, her trainers 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 will update all of us with the latest information as soon as i get it . he and by ging on monday night, we are expecting a decision on camila, believe us for the fate. alexia shasky, archie reporting from beijing in china. while we spoke with sports law specialist lucien bologna, he sees the test results from a previous tournament being made public in beijing just after a believe a help. russia, when gold in the, at figure skating team event office, a possible forecast of wants to come each 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 that i think there is none yet because the information was given only

a very well laid. i am a say. and that means that actually has still the right to request to be sample. so if there is a confused, positive test is not yet even decided. that means the court of arbitration force board 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. and just another aspect of this to talk about while the doping case investigation was still ongoing. the international

and the committee repeatedly asked the media not to speculate on it, but that certainly didn't stop one channel in particular from pointing 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 an unconfirmed speculation. first 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 say, the, this olympic event. it would really behoove you to say as much as you can to insinuate to imply to basically impugn 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 you'd probably expect a journalist going under cover as a content moderator for facebook to see some interesting things. but as our short

dog takes us through next, some of what emerges is truly eye opening. they close for cash investigation goes to workers. begins in ah bring you the very latest every out the day this is a national firm and everyone had with

to 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, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk i silicon valley elite who was 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. you can write code and send your account over, talk to anyone it is and see can get the work back on a spreadsheet. if you need to e to see these i letters and numbers of identify.
