[000:00:00;00] a then the stories that shape the weak, russia, slum hysteria over a while it's being claimed or it's alleged plans through and faith, ukraine. western officials urge their citizens to leave the country. i made daily media headlines. not attack is imminent. also ahead or what are you doing? what are you doing today? good police this week, clumped on all the freedom convoy movement and canada with the countries prime minister labeling the protesters fringe ex freeman. this is a story of a company that got through this pandemic, by being united and a few people shouting and waving. swastikas does not define who canadian

or under hearing into the joke, in case of russian figure skater camila valley has wrapped up. although the decision on whether she'll be able to further competes out the winter olympics will be announced until tomorrow. monday, one day before she said to take part in the individual event rushes figures. getting federation saves it completely, backs the 15 year old. stop with the top stories from the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments as well. welcome to the weekly on rti. i'm you know, earlier, rushes slum. and what it brands, mum? you? fuck should hysteria over ukraine, claiming that the alarm is speculation about an imminent invasion as giving key of a pretext to supper. they minsk agreements that same, that establishing a lasting peace in ukraine. now, among the last, the latest countries to take action,

australia as temper early shut down its embassy and keep relocating all operations to western ukraine. while, as you can see here on the screen, a number of nations, i've urged their citizens to leave the country outright. the backdrop to that being the endless media reports alleging russia will attack in the coming days. moscow has repeatedly denied any such plans are saskia taylor takes us through 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 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 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 babbling 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 teen tech cache, on the hysteria, hyping up every juicy detail about the rush invasion that's been eminent for months after all, day 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 little bugs, but a little x on the calendar. 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 no, great the 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 faces 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 where it gets really interesting. the media has given us so many options to choose from. would it be a false flag operation? a few south fall says boats from the black sea troops from that training exercises and 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 safe and baton?

keep calm and carry on. well, she's done. do we have tax 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. my. i'm the president of ukraine and i'm based here. and i think i know the details better here, but someone really should have told him to look out the window fust with oh no wait, that's a ukrainian vehicle just rumbling around bunning fuel and waiting for that as that imminent threat so imminent. in fact, the ukrainians. all righty. warming up ah .

as wild wait with baited 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 fighters that we cited of bouncing 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, 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 if she has got how come to the appropriate outfit sorted out, that 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 their losses 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 met were german leader, olaf schultz. this week joe biden said the 2 would put up quotes, a united front and relations with moscow, and threatened to hold the nord stream to gas pipeline. if russia in fiji crane, there will be no longer

a nor stream to we will bring it into. how will you protect and control it a product of worth and germany's control? we will, i promise you will be able do well, officials in germany have repeatedly previously stress the importance of russian gas for the countries energy needs. they have called for an end to the political dispute over the pipeline, saying and 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, told us who he believes has the most to lose by killing the project. fear of potentially would be hurt more by these for banking russians and russia would probably do counter thanking. justifiably, gone to new also, nor tremendous for me would have been the initiative to do that. they would have

a cancellation fee. i'm sure the liabilities related to that germany, so it'll be a big block of the german economy and we don't have the l and g to actually provide my understanding is not sufficient gas anywhere in the world to make up what's provided through through russia. and that's 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, though. it's mostly nato. you pay in the us that are the ones that are advocating in basin. ok, let's turn attention the program now to canada, where the country is busy. as commercial trade route remains closed after freedom convoys, supporters protesting mandatory cobit mandates blocked a board or a bridge with the u. s. on monday, the severing of the key supply route is having

a significant economic impact. we're seeing some car makers to fall to production to, to supply shortages. voluntary proven. so the curtis state of emergency and on sunday, security forces moved in to try clear ambassador bridge. a number of arrests were made. vehicles were seized. we spoke to all of the protesters who's been taking parts in the blockade. he said, vaccine mandates, her truck drivers are causing far more economic harm than the bridge them. nobody is running. 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 have done to the last 2 years. imposing their will upon the people have openly incited hatred in part of the population just in judo. a man who's been caught numerous times in black, who's been accused of groping reporters and, and he's, they're saying like, a projector just projecting what he is that all the people down there are massages some races and they are holding on. you know, these,

these bad news that opinions urge you folks, i walk 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 mandy to and they are killing everything . they put everything screeching halt. so what we've done here is nothing compared to the damage that be elected official and non elected officials of done to the people of the free world. half the end and we are not ending right now. will scores of arrest sounds been made since the protest 1st began in canada and more than a 1000 fines issued as well 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 horn in support of the freedom convoy protests and also what he reportedly suffered severe,

bruising during the arrest. no one canadian police officer has had enough accusing the government of ignoring the fundamental rights of citizens saying he can't follow the orders anymore. 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. incidentally, calgary, police say they've opened down investigation into their officers video. just to recap, the mass protests 1st broke out into after the canadian government introduce vaccine mandates for truck drivers. crossing the u. s. border. around 15 percent of canadian truckers or on bikes, ortiz, john honey reports,

not the atmosphere he experienced during the protest were come on peaceful for 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. we know that have 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. 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 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 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 protesters we've talked or we talked to many including trackers say i 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 ottawa city council member. here's what he, she 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, 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. but in terms of what authorities are saying, health officials and canada have defended the coven restrictions. citing the number of infections in the country, the prime minister has 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 extremist. 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 canadians but is his message resonating with the public? not so much according to recent opinion, polls less than 30 percent. believe the politician acted like a leader was supposed to. and indeed, future elections may be tough viewing for justin trudeau. a member of the regional parliament which governs auto essays. the federal government's accusations of violence are fabricated on the authorities. actions unconstitutional? no, it's absolutely all sync it's a fabrication. it's a pretext for what's actually our government. it's janine, this is a very peaceful, friendly. oh,

energetic festival and winter carnival that is happening a to purposely distort and fabricate, fabricate that dishes in any means, violet or dangerous is wholly reprehensible because it does provide them the cover to what you're actually doing. and that is in the to, to talk against our cost with, to ship a, removing all the checks and balances on bob on political and government afford. that's what is happening here in kent, in for many canadians. jerry, very difficult for many chinese to believe that our government would act in such a reprehensible and such a destructive metal. it has to keep kept care updates on another big story. the week a hearing has ended into the doping case of russian figure skater,

camila believer. the court of arbitration for sports is set to announce its decision, though not until monday as to whether she can carry on competing at the beijing winter olympics. that's after she tested positive for a bon substance back in december rushes figures. getting federation is adam and 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 camila val eva a 15 year old russ, an ice figure skater found herself in the middle of the 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 drew 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'll see 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 decision by monday evening, beijing 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 cat spinal 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 lights at 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, we've heard 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. yet, as alexi mentioned, the court will announce its ruling on monday. we will of course, be across all that big developments law specialists. meanwhile, lucien bologna believes how the case is played out over the past week is an indication of wants potentially 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 not yet because the information was given on the very late, i must say. and that means that it has to have the right to request to be sample. so if there is a confusion, positive test is not yet even decided. that means the court reform duration 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 15th 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 one another aspect to all this while the doping case investigation was still ongoing. the international olympic committee repeatedly asked the media not to speculate on it, but that didn't stop one channel in particular from pouncing on the allegations. cnn is concerned 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 or the we know the drug, we know her name all but, but by the way, she's a minor to imagine the pressure of anybody to be the olympics. imagine then 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 will 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 is a recap of the week. that was stay close. so for more grade programs getting there start in moments. this is art. with mediterranean is the world's most efficient sea, unsustainable exploitation of its fish dogs, which maureen biodiversity under great threat, a quote with a check in one or 2, but our lives, despite the promise, is to end over fishing by 2020. the situation is changing too slow. well,

i'm very disappointed with that. they basically in public interest. they also do not in the interest of the fishes, the only interest of the fishery lobby and the facial, and the only ones in danger. the fishermen also at risk of losing all the parking lot of them before they get to the bottom of the bubble, thought i get them with john is not expressing itself from having this willingness to lead time to the culture. 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 how nation, this is something that the whole world needs to understand. china grew up, is history never has this experience of colonization never has the experience of trying to bully others, always try to make friends with ah, the democratic republic of congo is among the richest countries in the world and natural resources. but he cannot mclee, it's still one of the poorest cobalt is an essential material in manufacturing batteries for modern devices like electric cars, mobile phones and computers. 60 percent of the wealth cobalt reserves are in congo

20 percent of it comes from small scale mines. units have figures confirm that in 2017. more than $40000.00 children worked in cobalt mining in the republic to earn a living and paying for schooling. next time you, you as a fancy gadget like a smartphone camera or, or laptop, just remember that there's a chance it works thanks to a child hard labor children like john michelle, henrietta. oh countless others like them. ah, for a ah! excuse me, dick white shaved, done suddenly. see it yet? they must leave the natural reason mortgage boys might come on here now. come on
