ah, ah, breaking news and this our analogy international russian of figures getting start camila by the error is cleared to compete in the beijing winter olympics. a sports top court rejected a wad, a bid to ban the athlete. after recently a bo, she had failed a doping test back in december of the claims of an invasion of ukraine. by the middle of the week of the usaa rose back a little on making a definite prediction, saying instead, it could be any day now. in kind of a police clear, a key border crossing with america truck is protesting vaccine mandate, but peaceful rallies in the capital and support of the so called freedom convoy. now enter that 3rd week. so we ask people why they hit the streets of ottawa. we have to take our freedom seriously because they are being taken away bit by bit

quite good and it's wrong. and they gave me the strength to not be a brain injury with what i believe it. believe in the u. k. facing it's worth the cost of living crisis and decades. gas and electricity providers are planning to high energy costs during what the peak period. so we got reaction i think that's absolutely a different rate just to go. so what does that mean? i didn't know where to find prices at the time that you referenced any with ours mid morning on monday here at moscow, it's ot see international from me raw reach to show you the entire news team. a very warm welcome to you. we just thought the hour with breaking news here on archie with the court of arbitration for sport. having lifted the suspension of

russian figure skater coming, belinda ultimately allowing her to continue competing in the winter olympics in beijing. it rejected appeals to have her band from the world anti doping agency, all water and from the international olympic committee. those were made after the athlete returned a positive test for the band substance at trim a test the dean at the national championship at the end of december. it's a hot medication by the way. that result only came to light recently. it's something cas says, raises serious problems. the serious panel also emphasized that there were serious issues of untimely notification of the results of the athletes. and i'd open test that was performed in december 2021 which impinge upon the athletes ability to establish certain legal requirements for her benefit. while such late notification was not her fault in the middle of the olympic winter games. paging 2022. i can live out to beijing ortiz, alexia shasky standing by just outside the court of operations or press briefing

office that in beijing alexi. tell us more about this, this ruling verdict here and what it actually means. well 1st and foremost, this is the big news that camille on eva 15 year old, russian i seek estates, a will be able to continue our participation in the beijing olympic games. the, a court of arbitration for sports for provided this decision based on 3 important reasons. first and foremost, camila oliva is a minor, she is 15 years of age. that means under what is own protocol, she is a considered a protected person. so different set of rules apply to athletes like that a secondly, and that's also very important reason cited by the secretary general off of the court of arbitration for sports or matthew. read that such a decision to ban camille, i believe from the participation in an in the olympics. he and beijing would do irreparable damage. that is a direct quote from a mr. reap. and 3rd, also, quite importantly, because of the timing of this probe that the panel also decided to let believe

a continue here in the games. as we remember the prob, i was taken on december 25th in st. petersburg, russia. then it was delivered to stockholm to a water accredited laboratory, and the positive result with try met is in traces only came back on september. so on the february, 7th, my apologies that according to cost means that the athlete and her entourage had no time to basically repair any legal defense. and that is why or the, the ruling off of the panel came in to believe us a favor. now also important to note that this is not the end of the story by far. that's a something acknowledged by the cost as well because the actual doping allegation, the actual doping case will be reviewed and will be contested for many, many months to calm. it seems that is something that's been confirmed by the russian anti doping agency that it will continue challenging the claims that of

oliva used illegal substances. and that was probably going to last for several months after the live is over. us also quite interestingly enough, the announcement here in beijing at the media center was made not in a traditional press conference style, the secretary general off coff walked in and immediately said that there will be no questions from journalist aloud. this definitely sparked some anger among several colleagues of mine in the pressroom. the restroom was absolutely packed with journalists. of course, this has been the biggest story here in beijing. at the times, it seemed that many journals forgot that this was actually olympics, that people were winning metal fan. all the, all the attention was focused on volleyball. she is taking to the ice to morrow, here in beijing early morning, local time for individual women's i figure skating championship. of course i will be that will try to get as many reactions as possible. but for now, come leave a can participate in the games and that is absolutely astonished. great news for

for her coaching team. of course, i'll keep you updated on everything happening here and aging as the story is developing. alright, all correspondent, alexi, get a chef ski. thank you just a bit other in the program. busy i spoke with dr. lucien bologna, a sports lawyer who supports the course decision. this is the only route position to work that was to be made because nobody knows what in the end will happen, but to not allow her would have been the worst. all depends what the explanation is, but it seems that rose out already lifted the suspension. that must be a good reason. now, cos need also follow rules. the rules are clear, it must be within 20 days of the stay. wait. it's so long. and the explanation for the delay was not very convincing. what we heard khatri x,

co beach related delay. i don't believe that i seen the b test must, must produce the results. and then the whole case will, will be decided. and of course, it's not over, but i think it's an important step. but for all the very latest reaction and analysis surrounding the value of a case, you can just head over walkie dot com. it's also where you can share your views in the comment section. ah, well, the united states can't seem to make up its mind when a russia is supposedly invading ukraine. joe barton claimed a could be before the end of the page, him lympics the media, however, citing official said it's going to be on wednesday. now, america's national security advisor is being a bit more vague. what can you tell us about reports that us intelligence believes russia is considering wednesday for an attack? we cannot perfectly predict the day been invasion, could begin

a major military action could begin by russia in ukraine any day. now, will you listen to those was on it. we're not showing you any evidence, but trust off washing tanks are rolling towards the key. if you then open up any news website, and it's clark said with the warnings of the impending apocalypse, it's almost become a competition. who can create the most outrageous headline? and of course, in the process, get the most clicks and b. c. for example, as to not, no one, not true, but 9 invasion roots, papers are placing bets on one. exactly. russia is going to evade and walls and 3 is going to start sometime this week. apparently nevermind. of course, that the previous back on a new year invasion turned out to be a total failure. there really is a hurricane of hysterical and outlandish headlines, but the fool out from it has been so quick and so immense. we've got embassies, shutting up, shop, and key as and moving west. we bought over 14 nations now which of of us citizens

to preemptively evacuate frances that not yet bought stock comp and fuel and food and water to planes to ukraine are being redirected and grounded. the dutch lines kayla has halted flights full stop. we've even got the ukrainian, i'm busted to the u. k. making the ground announcement. but just in order to save the world for was willing to give up on that team and even potentially withdraw the application to nato. the irony is that a midst of this hysteria, a voice of reason, if the ukranian president himself, who thank life come down your own for exaggerating the threat. and in fact, in his call with joe biden on sunday, he even invited the us president to visit and wanted to put people at ease. but the white house declines. the clearly putting people at ease is not a priority. fred, now the kremlin exhausted, of course, from denying claims of any planned attack is observing all this madness and has concluded that it is just the latest move and

a very cynical long game being played by the work i'd seen with has to raise to. we pop the situation and provocative activity. this is part of the provocation that did not begin 2 months ago. it is a plant long term conflicts. this is act of the controlled by the united states, which means the accompaniment and unprecedented western media resources that declares themselves independently now. so custom made stories from washington today . no one has any doubt that this is a provocative game that can really lead to provocation. ukraine is packed with weapons supplied by nato countries, led by the united states. take us saskia to the east. the eastern area, lou guns don't yet the hot spots there. what is the situation? well, there has been a pretty recent quite worrying development. it concerns c o, s c e, that is the organization for security and cooperation in europe. now, since $2141.00, of course, the conflict foss broke out. it's had hundreds of monitors in done yet in eastern ukraine, basically keeping an eye on the situation and enforcing a sci fi that now we're getting wild that dozens and estimates range from 50 all

the way up to 160 that dozens of those monitors have been told to leave, or we've even seen images of them packing up their equipment and quite literally fleeing an armored vehicles. now this is a very strange move because surely now, when the whole region is on edge, surely precisely now is the time when we need such 3rd party observe is that in order to provide some kind of stability and moscow fears. but unfortunately, o s c has been dragged into murky politics. these decisions can't fail to cause a serious concern. the mission is deliberately dragged into the militaristic psychosis, fermented by washington and used as a tool for a possible provocation. what talking about provocation? well, how about another batch of u. s. military equipment arriving in kiev over the weekend? a kidney of ukrainian ass based. it's dangerous, but not too dangerous. of course. to deliver some arms. you really have to say with washington, like i said,

flaunting ukraine with arms and ammunition with the help of course of its allies. been with this hyped up out of control, new cycle that's getting on flooding. the information's fair. it really does have this sense that it's the west. no russia, that is setting stage for a potential aggression and doing up saying nothing to deescalate, despite of course own its claims to the country. meanwhile, as a pot of ongoing joint military exercises russian on beller, russian fighter jets have conducted a whole range of border patrols. a all sorts of formations are flowing through some pretty tough weather. to you. check out the videos on ortiz youtube channel. well in canada, police have cleared the remaining anti cove. it mandate, price protects us from ambassador bridge. it's a key border crossing the u. s. has been blocked for a week. the push to clear the demonstrators came amid a state of emergency in the canadian province of ontario, and thousands of arrests were made vehicles seized in

a ratcheting up of government efforts to curb move with its grip the country for over a fortnight. and we spoke with one of the demonstrators who was at the bridge protest . he says he hasn't witnessed any violence from any of the demonstrators 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. however you want to 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. 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 for a protest or else they can't cross order again, you just told them already. if you don't get shots in the arm, they came across the border. if they don't get shots in the arm that can't work,

if they don't get shots in the yard, it can't go into stores. so you are trying to punish people. both testers 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. well, there are some who have hail the clearing of ambassador bridges of victory for the canadian government, the peaceful demonstrations against vaccine mandates and the countries capital ottawa are entering the 3rd week with many people still rallying in the area right around parliament. demonstrated explain what's being that motivation we came because we believe in freedom. freedom from her children or grandchildren or nieces or nephews or a family, their friends have to start to make a dan, this is canada. we have to take our freedom seriously because they are being taken away bit by bit, by bit like that. and it's wrong. it's very choice and everybody standing up for it

and they're standing up for us. so we have to show them as well. and so everybody, the world's watching checkers, have given us a boy before i was very, i didn't talk about my ideas or my opinion i but then they gave me the strength to not be afraid anymore. it's a stand up for what i believe it believe in, and that is re choice. the mass protest broke off the canadian government introduced vaccine mandates for truck drivers. crossing the border with america. health officials defended the new restrictions, but one of the protesters we spoke to says the measures are actually doing more harm than good was done at the bridge with statements. and i can't imagine that with 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 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, arm budgeting some raises and they are holding on. you know, the 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 mandate to and 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 official and non elected officials have done to the people of the free world half the end and we are not ending right now. meanwhile, across the atlantic in belgium, protests inspired by the canadian freedom conroy movement in preparing to gather in the country's capital. they are coming from all over europe to hold a mass riley against covey mandates. the belgian authorities have already banned the protest with law enforcement even stopping vehicles from entering the city

until tuesday. here. and we will bring you more on this as the day to the course that ahead of you here on the going green could have unforeseen consequences investigates child exploitation in congo, the world's minor of cobalt. that's the material used in your phone and, and all these electric cars on the streets as well. more on that back to just a 2nd with oh, i use join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. i'll be speaking to guess what the world of politics, sport business, i'm sure business. i'll see you then. ah

ah nearly 20 costs down here in moscow, the u. k is energy crisis is deepening as demand threatens to outpace supply

providers plan to hike rates during when that's right. during the peak periods, while the national grid is thinking of tapping electric cars during times of shortfall, it all comes as $22000000.00 households face steep utility bills off to the regulator raised the energy price cap. i'll corresponding breaks it old out o 2 not topic in the u. k. is energy bales that set to rise 54 percent come april, but a fascinating not to get your blood boiling. families could face paying more at peak times, like when cooking breakfast, for instance, watching tv after dinner, and all those cups of tea at tea time, despite these premium, right? so the energy regulator says consumers can save money, it will enable a more efficient, flexible, i'm green energy system, which will say billions of pounds per year on all consumers energy bills. currently,

most households are charged a flat rate for their electricity and gas usage. but now millions of households could see bill. so with this new over style service charge, the way it will work is smart meters will send supply as automatic updates every 30 minutes to track households usage. and then prices will rise in full in real time. and it looks like the plans was gap. the green light, as is backed by britain's biggest suppliers. time of use, tara updated on a half hourly basis. will give consumers a real opportunity to save money on their energy bills, particularly for electrical vehicle drivers, charging from home the system, play key parts in our transition, sowards and that's your future, as well as benefiting customers. this is something that has benefits for consumers, unfurnished companies under the proposals, the smart meter trucking will be unavoidable without an opt in choice from late 2023. companies say this can save money,

but it's going to be pretty difficult to dodge making dinner at dinner time to avoid using energy at peak times. i think that's actually ridiculous. sorry, just to guys have you. so what does that mean? do i put my dinner at breakfast fine at breakfast time cuz i didn't know what's going on with this. i mean, i was trying to raise prices at the time such as breakfast anyway. it's not exactly i that's the way any of the time. it will not be the same. everything's right here at the moment. it is by 1 o'clock wednesday. yes, we'll still get worse. i do recall 40, so it may take a little convincing. well, $100.00 your company is a step ahead and inviting customers to take part in a 2 month trial reducing energy consumption. during to our time slots. households will then be awarded credits if they conserve energy another i did it by the national grid. it's a draw power from electric cars that was on charge on driveways or in so kids could then release energy into a central system. and when required,

selling the energy back, what sense would it make it also to the other site? just whatever people do this might about, i think it needs to be challenged and so it's upsetting people enough to people. so people are suffering this year. energy suppliers have suggested all sorts of ways to solve the energy crisis from doing start trying to keep warm to a surcharge at peak times. but whatever the suggestions, the most popular among the public is not to go ahead with the extortionate price cap increase. childhood sashay, r t london. as countries pushed to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy, it could be aggravating. get another crisis. cobalt is an essential component of batteries for smartphones and electric cars. and in the democratic republic of congo, it's mind by children and adults and dangerous conditions. congo, for example, right now produces roughly 70 percent of the world's cobalt last year was

a boom year for this material with demand jumping 20 percent. that was driven by the uptake of electric vehicles, including tesla. well, i think visited some of congos quarries to find out the true cost of the green energy revolution. you can watch it and fold it off. you dot com also watching youtube channel. ah, oh wow. how long have you weren't in the quarry since 2019. how old are you? on? 17 funds. you know what they do with the co boat after they sell it? no. you don't know what they do with the cobalt cobalt. you don't know. no, many children now work in the quarries at the moment. there are many children and pregnant women with children. we often see a problem on the lake grove before he died before

but the latest figures show that some 20000 work in the quarry. 20000 miners work here. i work in the quarry because i have no money to continue my education. you have a kid? yes. amazing. born in 1983 and 8 children. you know, we can make about $50.00. with this money a steak and we had for it we might as well put on bed here and hammer. i said for 2 solid days, do you think i'll get through it in 20 years? i'm already 15 or in a line i think

in terms of working conditions, the autism mining methods today post many more problems than in the industrial sector. a mine is often nielsen. swindle us, out of money. sometimes i go home with it and i will die. if it closest it will be death. how will i pay for food? my husband has no jobs. flo will i get food? well i go

ah, donald trump is making headway with his claims at hillary clinton's presidential campaign illegally spied on him during the run up to the 2016 election. according to a motion, followed by a special prosecutor, clinton's team paid a tech firm to access servers at trump tower. and then later at the white house check executive one task. these researchers to mine internet data to establish an inference and narrative tying. then candidate trump to russia. in doing so, check executive one indicated that he was seeking to please certain the eyepiece, referring to individuals, a law firm one and the clinton campaign. the filings made by john durham, a special prosecutor appointed to look into the origins of the f. b, i's prob, and to whether trump colluded with russia to win the election is reported ledgers that a tech company executive was tasked with trying to establish a narrative, tying trump to russia. the spy allegations of plucked from an investigation into

whether clinton's lawyer had any conflict of interest in the campaign. a lawyer, michael sussman is currently accused of essentially lying to the f. b i, but denies any wrong doing. drum, however, sees it very differently. this is a scandal far greater in scope and magnitude than watergate, and those who are involved in a knew about the spying operation should be subject to criminal prosecution in a stronger period of time in our country, this crime would have been punishable by death in the run up to his presidency and of course, during it, accusations of collusion with russia. well, on the present, something that moscow and trumpet denied all the long. and a democrat appointed special prosecutor was even unable to prove it in a court. we discussed what the spying allegations mean for the alleged trump. russia connection with american politician often vote entire clinton campaign, the early phases, trump presidency, was really fixated on some type of collusion with russia. and it just seemed to be

a distraction from anything of substance. you know, there as far as know to the, to this time there hasn't been any meaningful discovery or anything like that. other than just the accusation itself, the use of government, you know, oversight to, to spy on a private organization would be generally seen as more of an overreached and than the reverse direction. it looks to me like a hacking and fishing expedition. and, you know, morally, certainly problematic, legally, almost certainly problematic. and so do it, does it lead any credibility to that connection? absolutely not as a lend credibility to the idea that the connection was being intentionally fabricated. i would say definitely. lends that a certain level of credibility. all right, wrapping up the program for this i would live from moscow analogy international thanks for sharing your time with us here on the russian capital will give you an update on the breaking news out of beijing in about half an hour's time,

but also give you the latest from you, right? this is on tape. we're back soon with ah mm i, ah,
