a a came the stories that shape the weak, russia, slums, hysteria over watts being claimed are it's alleged plans to invade ukraine. western officials urged their citizens to leave the country amid daily media headlines and the tech is imminent. also ahead. what are you doing? what do you do when you, when i did a police clamped down on the freedom convoy movement in canada with the country's prime minister labeling the protestors against cobra. it mandates french extreme. 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 a hearing into the doping case. self russian figure skater camila valley has wrapped up. although the decision on whether she'll be able to further compete the winter olympics won't be announced on till monday rushes figure skating federation saves it completely box that 15 year old start with what they tell stories from the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments sounds well, welcome to the weekly and archie, i'm, you know, neil russia's slammed, want it brown's manufactured hysteria over ukraine, claiming of alarm as speculation about an eminent invasion as giving key of a pretext to skipper. they mince agreements aimed at establishing a lasting peace in ukraine. one of the latest countries to make a move,

visits trillion, which has temporarily shut down its embassy in kiev, relocating all operations to western ukraine, while as you can see on screen, the number of nations have urged their citizens to leave the country. all right, the backdrop to that being the endless media reports alleging russia will lead talk . in the coming days, moscow has repeatedly denied any such plums. software taylor picks up the story. as a panic around your crane reaches fever, pitch, the wilds be laying back. so 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 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 keen to cache in on the hysteria, hyper up every to see detail about the russian invasion that's been imminent for months after all de escalation, just 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 at 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 decide 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 has given us so many options to choose from. would it be a false flag? operation of himself for says boats from the black sea troops from the training exercises embarrassed. and just how big will the credit and 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?

thanks and baton, keep calm and carry on. but i'll show you the thumb. do 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. i'm the president of ukraine's, i'm based here. i think i know the details better here. but someone really should have told him to look out the window fussed 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 about 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 sure, i'm teamster. i'm disappointed that we seem to have dialogues between the mutes than 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 was a bit. tanks compassed safely into ukrainian territory, but it seems that all british colleagues have the same sol today, from which numerous factors that we sides have 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 russia, sovereignty of the rust of foreigners regions. don't you? 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's foreign secretary and thrown into a crisis before she even had time to google a wild map and nice, you've got how come to the appropriate outfit sorted out that the good news is if and when the kremlin makes good 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 the effort they put in at least less trust will have a few nice photographs as a souvenir from the good old days. meanwhile, stateside the u. s. president met with german liter all of 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 russian base ukraine, there will be no longer

a north steam to we will bring it into. how will you, how will you do that? exactly. since the project and control of the project is within germany's control, we will, i promise you will be able to do well, officials in germany have repeatedly stress the importance of brushing gas for the countries energy needs. they've called for an end to the political dispute over the pipeline, seeing it has nothing to do with politics. however, with the latest stand off intensifying berlin is apparently making a u turn. earl rus, newson of the eurasia center thing tech 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 thanks. just the 5 we got the new also nor tremendous for me would have been the initiative to do

this. they would have a cancellation fee. i'm sure that liabilities related to that germany minutes. so it'll be a big block for the german economy, and we don't have the l and g to actually provide 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 the cost. the price would be extremely, even if you did replace the supplies from the pipeline, it be screamingly costly. i don't think russia has any base, right? so it's mostly nato. you pay in the us that are the ones that are advocating basin . now in canada, police have cleared the remaining anti cobra monday protesters from a border crossing after a 7 day shutdown of a bridge, linking the country with the u. s. it is the nation's busiest commercial trade routes will remain closed until later on sunday. the attempt to clear the

demonstrators came amid a state of emergency in the province of ontario, dozens of arrests were made on the vehicle seized and brought thing. all government efforts to curb a movement that's breadth, canada for over a fortnight. or we can cross live ny to tell him, speak to the truck driver, freedom convoy, protest her stephen gifford. steven, good to have you on the program today. so it appears that police have cleared the remaining protesters blocking the key bridge between canada and the u. s. what sort of precedent does this, this law enforcement clumped on said in terms of the freedom to protest in your country. well, here in canada, we function under the bill of rights which allows us to have the freedom to protest and assemble and gather in groups freely and express our rights. unfortunately,

we have a dictator empower who's following the globalist agenda and they would like to pass laws and bills that they're currently talking about to end protesting. meaning if you want to stand maybe in front of your house, you can hold a saw other than that. they want to make it any legal act punishable by criminal offense. some of these people here, they're going to try to charge under terrorist acts, meaning they'll never before. we've been hearing conflicting reports, stephen, about the nature of the protests on the one hand, are thorough report on a rest and property damage on the other. it's running a peaceful movement. what's been your actual experience? because i know you've been there, you've been up a at the bridge and you've been at other protests. yeah, i was in ottawa for 10 days straight when this thing kicked off in ottawa, trying to help a boots on the ground wherever the help was needed. the minute i heard this kicked

off here while i was gone, and ottawa, preemptively my do, my team came back here to try to help out a legal wise in order to make the protest function as legal as possible. so there wouldn't be injunctions and other things like that, but what i can guarantee is that both in ottawa and here in windsor at the ambassador bridge, it has been nothing but peaceful. all the, all the people on the side of supporting the protest or supporting the truckers supporting the bill of rights supporting freedom, how real word it. there has not been one negative incident that i've witnessed or heard of myself and i've been there every day. and in most cases, every night was austin trudeau calling you extremist, then well, is the same reason why if, when you're out of store, you can't have

a boy section or girl section they call that hate. now separating genders. they're trying to flip everything on its head with this globalist agenda, and they're calling protesting against the measures they put in place. hateful, therefore, they're categorizing anything that you disagree, or anything that disagrees with the narrative, as terroristic, or hateful, or dangerous. ok, i don't think just let me just punch this point to stephen, but we know that your business has been directly affected by monday. it's. but the blockade of the bridge has also brought hardship to businesses in the manufacturing industry. for instance, do you have any sympathy for the people who've been affected as a result of the convoy movement for days now? well, i have sympathy for canada, the society of canada, and all that citizens and everyone else worldwide that's affected by these illegal

cove. it measures that it was put in place. our, our prime minister justin trudeau had said something along the lines of people. our citizens are, are being affected by the horns. the economy is being affected. he mentioned that people need to go home and stop protesting because you might have your license, sorry, not renewed your bill to renew your license or you might go to jail and bill across the border any more. the reason why people are protesting in the 1st place are because of these illegal mandates and restrictions if, if you tell someone to go home from protest or else they can't cross the border again. you just told them already if you don't get shots in the arm, they can't cross the border. if they don't get shots in the arm, they can't work. if they don't get shots in the arm, they can't go into stores. so you, you're trying to punish people,

protesters for doing the very thing you're trying to take away from, or you have taken away already. these people, people like me. besides our family members, our lives itself. we have nothing left to lose and my grandfather escaped for most bits. i know all too well of what fascism and communism looks like and we are heading straight for it. there does seem to be a big disparity between what's coming out of canadian media and what a lot of people in the country actually believe. because there was a nation wide pole at done recently saying that some 16 percent of canadians would not vote for trudeau. just intrude with the prime minister. why is that? is it? his handling of the pandemic has that, has that really been done fall in terms of these numbers? well, i think you have to wait for systemic way of looking at it. here. you have many

people who voted for justin trudeau because society as a whole has gotten lazy with everything around is television shows everything. so people voted for. so because he's young and pretty, because he supported marijuana and because he wears nice songs or shows off pretty socks, and that was good enough. it sounds benevolent and nice and people thought, well, he sounds good in the media prompt them up as a nice liberal. they voted for him only now when the python of tyranny squeezes society to the point where we have no choice but to pay attention. finally, folks are waking up slowly to the tyranny that's happening and they're starting to see that socks marijuana and a pretty smile. doesn't do it, you can only wear black face for so long as a prime minister before even your constituents start paying attention to your racism. ok. even things coming on the program and sharing your views. i think it changed with a lot of people as well. steven gifford, at truck driver, business owner, freedom convoy, protest, or many fact. thank you. well,

score is over ras. sound been made since the protest 1st began in canada and more than a 1000 fines issued with police some time resorting to force. take a look for what are you doing? what are you doing when you i day this week, a 78 year old man was detained after beeping his car horn in support of the freedom convoy protested, although he reportedly suffered severe, bruising during the rest. one canadian police officer has had enough accusing the government of ignoring the fundamental rights of citizen, saying he can follow orders any more. 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 have opened up an investigation into their officers video. and just to recap the overall picture here, the mass protest 1st broke out to the canadian government introduce vaccine mandates for truck drivers. forcing the us border around 15 percent of canadian truckers or on backs ortiz, john honey reports. now the atmosphere he experienced during the protest were come and there were peaceful or like a dance party. then a 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 police have made some arrests, but overall it's been a very like over the weekend, there were balancing hassles 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 have 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 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 ottawa city council member. here's what he, she had to say on current, 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 in australia, new zealand. we're also hearing about chatter and talk about something similar, potentially happening in the united states. a conway,

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 pro just continues here on the ground, in ottawa and other parts of canada. and in terms of for the authorities are seeing health officials in canada have defended the coven restrictions, citing the number of infections in the country. the prime minister accused freedom convoy protesters of trying to div real the countries economy and democracy going so far as to leave them a fringe group of 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 canadian but is his message resonating with the public. not so much, according to recent opinion poll says we went through earlier, less than 30 percent. believe the politician acted like

a leader was supposed to on future elections. may be tough viewing for justin to do as well. a member of the regional parliament which governs auto essays, the federal government's accusations of violence are fabricated on the authorities actions on constitutional. no, it's absolutely all saying 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 a to purposely distort and fabricate fabricate that dishes. in any means, violet or dangerous is wholly reprehensible. but it does provide them the cover to what you're actually doing that is in the to, to talk against our cost to ship and 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 chinese to believe that our government would act in such a reprehensible and such a destructive mental intensity with can't okay, another updates on a story we have been across this week. a hearing has ended into the doping case of russian figure skater camila believe the court of arbitration for sport is set to announce its decision on 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 adamant, the 15 year olds, 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 in beijing during the figure skating turn. not all the results were native camila vall, eva a 15 year old russ, an ice fig. escape that 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, an anti drug 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 her 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 the a cas panel will have to review. now we do know that own 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 can spinal, 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, or 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 maintained camila. believe us in a sense, believe australia at 80 to beads 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, rush 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 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 alexio's husky archie reporting from beijing in china. yeah, we'll have all the big developments to run that announcement on monday night law specialists lucien. bologna believes the way the case has played out over the 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 sample test. i think there is not yet because the information was given only a very rare lay, i must say. and that means it has to be the right to request to be sample. so if there is a confusion. causative test is not yet even decided. that means the corporation for sports 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 hort tension and dead big effects that we have such as suspension, they should be very careful. in determining bish over fishing in the mediterranean is a critical levels. but is the political will, there are for various countries who share to see to come together and protect stocks for future generations are short dock, silent, fish fells into that. and that's next. ah

ah, financial you money guide? i don't buy, hey, i only teachers of friday at the last i buy it from the teacher. the crocker watch missouri with the democratic republic of congo is among the richest countries in the world and natural resources. but he cannot mclee it. still one of the poorest cobalt is an essential material in manufacturing batteries by 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 enter living and pay for schooling. next time you use a fancy gadget like a smartphone camera laptop, just remember that there's a chance it works thanks to

a child hard labor children like john michelle henry at o countless others like them. ah ah ah.
