ah, ah, it's breaking news that our on our t international, russian figure skating stall, camila valley ever. it's clear to compete in the beijing winter olympics. a sports top court rejected a wad, a bit to bad. the athlete i've heard recently about should failed a doping test back in december, off the claims of an invasion of ukraine by the middle of the week. the u. s. rose back a little or making a definite prediction, saying instead that it could be any day. now as a candidate where police clear a key border crossing with america, truckers protesting vaccine mandates but peaceful rallies in the capital in support of the so called freedom and void. now into the 3rd week, we have to take our freedom seriously because they are being taken away bit by bit

right and wrong, and they gave me this history to not be in brain engine. then that's what i believe in believe in the u. k facing is worth the cost of living crisis in decades. gas and electricity providers are planning to jack up energy cost during the peak periods. so we got reaction on the streets. i think that's actually ridiculous and i really just to go. so what does that mean? do i keep my dinner at breakfast? fine? yes, it was recording with no, i just talk to mid day on monday here in moscow, and we're off to a running start here. it off you international. welcome to the program. sh. well, it's like this, although valley i. busy was got the all clear to compete. russia's anti doping agency is now dissatisfied with the whole affair. it says it will look into any possible testing irregularities and why the results were reported. so late,

it's that has wida accuses it's russian branch of failing to label valley eva sample properly for expedited pre games processing. we caught up with sports lawyer, dr. lucy and bologna, who explained why he backs the decision of the court of arbitration of sports. 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, beijing, 2022. while we, let's say jeff, listen to a very short statement by the secretary general of the court of arbitration for the sports matthew read. it wasn't even a press conference. no questions were allowed to be asked by journalists, which sparked some anger among the colleagues of mine. he, inside the room, the room was actually packed. obviously no other story here at the olympics has been waking,

has been making so much noise has been causing so much residence and the story from your body. by here, it seemed for a moment that people forgot that that actually is the lympics and you know, people are winning metals and it's actually support so much roar. and so much hype about that story. nevertheless, matthew reap produced the verdict from the 3 men final consisting of 3 judges from the us, italy, and sylvia. they convened at the beijing hotel last night. the meeting took place for just about 8 hours they, they finished their meeting at 5 o'clock in the morning. some journalists were actually on a stake out there waiting for any kind of decision to be announced earlier. but here it is. can leave a will be able to compete in the beijing olympics will continue take to the ice tomorrow. in fact, for the individual female, i figure skating championship here in beijing to round competition, which will conclude on thursday this week. and more important reasons off the caf panel cited for this decision was that 1st and foremost gum you can leave a is

a minor, she is 15 years of age and that means that under what is own code, she is rendered as a protected pass. and so different set of rules apply to minus than to senior please competing in any kind of a games and also the fact that to what us restrictions apply differently to that category of athletes as well. secondly, also important enough of cited by matthew read that he felt and the st. cass panel also felt that and negative decision against a camille of oliva woods. ah, do irreparable. will damage to the athlete. that's a direct quote from mr. reed. i consider she's such a of such a young age considering the circumstances under which all this happened. so that is also the reason why she is allowed to continue her performance is here. and 3rd, also a quite an important reason has been talked about a lot,

including the head of the russian olympic committee says off was nick off the timing of the probe as we remember the sample which brought back a positive result for try meant as a dean a band b, e d. substance listed on the water band, beatty substances list that the probe was taken on december 25th in st. petersburg, russia and the positive result only arrived on february the 7th. so basically, according to costs, this gave no time at all for believer and her entourage and her legal team to build any kind of defense. and that is why she was allowed to continue in these olympics . it's also important to note, and that is probably the most important aspect of the story here is that this is by far not the end of the story. matthew read himself said the that, that the case of a doping allegation against val eva, will be a, will be tried later, probably even off to the olympics. so we are in for

a very long ride when it comes to that story. but for now, at least for now, camille of oliva can participate in the games. and we are anxiously anticipating her appearance on the ice to morrow morning, begging time. as we know, she has not just escaped us. she's one of the most talent escaped us on planet earth. so let's see how she performs and where the oldest story has had any negative psychological impact on her. now, although the live has got the all clear to compete, russia is anti doping agency is not happy with the whole affair. in fact, they want to look into so called possible testing irregularities and why the results were reported. so late that has wide accuses its russian branch of failing to label valley every sample properly for expedited pre games processing. and we catch up with a sports lawyer doctor lucien bologna. he explained why he supports the court's decision. this is the only right position to work that was to be made because nobody knows what in the end will happen, but to not allow have would have been the worst. all depends what the

explanation is, but it seems that rose out already lifted the suspension that there must be a good reason. now costs need also follow rules. it's the rules are clear, it must be waiting 20 days and the stay waived. so long and the explanation for the delay was not very convincing. what we khatri koby relate to delay. i don't believe that i think 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 an important step was the legacy reaction. that analysis surrounding the value of a case just head over to watch. you don't call them you can get involved and share your comment with united states. i can't seem to make up its mind when

a russia is supposedly going to invade ukraine. joe biden claimed it could be before the end of the beijing lympics. and the media, citing official said it could be by the middle of this week. but now america's national security adviser is in 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 the wash and tanks are rolling towards the key. if you then open up any news website and it's plastered with 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 what exactly russia is going to

evade world war 3 is going to start sometime this week. apparently nevermind. of course that, that previous back on a new year invasion turned out to be a total failure. that 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 in kiev and moving west, we bought over 14 nations now which of us the citizens to preemptively evacuate francis had not yet thought store 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 passed it out to the u. k. making the ground announcement. but just in order to save the world for world, i want to give up on that dream and even potentially withdraw the application to nato. when i asked you, if you'll country had contemplated dropping the goal of nato, if it stopped war you on said it might. is that something you are now contemplating

in order to avoid war? we have flexible here trying to find the best way out. if we have to make some serious concessions, that's something we might do. the irony is that amidst all of the hysteria, a voice of reason, if the ukrainian president himself, who sang has come down or over, exaggerating this threat. and in fact, in his call with joe biden on sunday, he even invited the u. s. president to visit in order to put people at ease. but the white house declined securely. 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 in a very cynical, long game being played by the west. seen with the purpose of this is to raise to we pop this situation and provocative activity. this is part of the provocation that did not begin 2 months ago. it is a plan to long term conflicts that is act of the controlled by the united states or

the media accompaniment is unprecedented. western media resources that declares themselves independent. now, so custom made tories 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. yes. the hot spots there. what is the situation there? no. 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 2014, when of course, the conflict fast broke out, it's had hundreds of monitors in danielle in eastern ukraine, basically keeping an eye on the situation and enforcing a cease fire that now we're getting words 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 mood because surely now,

when the whole region is on edge, surely precisely now is the time when we need such 3rd party observe as they are in order to provide some kind of stability and moscow fears. but unfortunately, o se 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 while talking about provocation. well, how about another batch of u. s. military equipment arriving and key as over the weekend. security of ukrainian space is 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 going on, flaunting the information's fair. it really does have this sense that it's the west,

not russia, that is setting stage for a potential aggression and doing up saying nothing to deescalate despite of course, all its claims to the contrary. meanwhile is one of ongoing. busy joint military exercises a russian and bella, russian fight adjusts, have conducted border patrols or various formations through through some pretty heavy cloud banks to get high up into the blue. more videos for you right now and ought to use youtube channel to canada. now where police have clear the remaining protesting truckers from ambassador bridge or the usually busy border crossing into the u. s. has been blocked off by their anti backs mandate demo for well, at least a week. a dozens of arrests were made. vehicles was seized. the so called freedom convoy movement has gripped the country for over 2 weeks, leading to a state of emergency being imposed in the canadian province of ontario. while the authorities view the truck as as a public danger, demonstrate as themselves say, they're all peaceful. we spoke to one of them from the ambassador bridge

demonstration 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. have you on a 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 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 that can't work if they don't get shots in the yard, they can't go into stores. so you, you're trying to punish people. so 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. while the authorities have succeeded now in the mid to end, the ambassador bridge blockade of freedom convoy rallies against the backs mandates are ongoing in the countries capital ottawa hundreds of truckers and as supporters are come in and around parliamentary hill, this beautiful woman. and we came because we believe in freedom, freedom from her children, or grandchildren. our nieces or nephews or family, their friends, have to start to make it dead. this is canada. we have to take her freedom seriously because they are being taken away bit by bit, by bit, by bit and it's wrong. it's rejoice in everybody standing up for it and they're standing up for us. so we have to show them as well and show everybody the world's watching. i feel the checkers have given us a voice before i was very, i didn't talk about my ideas or my,

my opinion i but then they gave me the strength to not be afraid anymore to stand up for what i believe it believe in. and that is re choice. the freedom convoy started when the canadian government required truck drivers crossing the border with america to be injected. health officials defended the move, citing the coven caseload. but one of the protesters we spoke, we started actually doing more harm than good. what was done at the bridge with a statement, and i can't imagine that it was a drop in the bucket compared to what the governments have 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 men, it's use the groping reporters and, and he's, they're saying like, a projector just projecting what he is that all the people down there are mythology and some races and they are holding on, you know, these these bad opinions, but i,

i heard you folks, i walked down there and it was a loving event. people were bringing their family. we just want our rights to be respected and we want these mandates to end that they are killing everything. they've put everything screeching halt. so what we've done here is nothing compared to the damage that be 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, protest is inspired by the canadian freedom convoys movement are preparing to descend on the capital. people are in fact, coming from all over europe to join the raleigh against covey restrictions and mandate. the belgian authorities that have already banded and they're stopping certain vehicles from entering the city or bringing more in that situation, their ads that they did that well the u. k is energy crisis is only getting worse as demand threatens to outpaced supply providers,

plan to hike rates during peak periods. and while the national grid is thinking of tapping electric cars during times of shortfall, now it comes as what some $22000000.00 households are facing, much steeper utility bills off to the regulator raised, the energy price cap, our correspondent breaks it all down for us now from london, a hotel, no topic in the u. k. is energy bails that set to rise 54 percent comp, 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 entity regulator says consumers can save money, it will enable a more efficient, flexible, i'm greener energy system, which will say billions of pounds per year on all consumers energy bills. currently, most households charge the flat rate for their electricity and gas usage. but now

millions of households could see bill full with this new over style. so charge. the way it will work is smart meters will send suppliers automatic updates every 30 minutes to track household usage. and then prices will rise in full in real time. and it looks like the plans was got the green light as it's backed by britain's biggest suppliers. time of use tariffs updated on a half hourly basis will give consumers of real opportunity to save money on their energy bills, particularly for electrical vehicle drivers, charging from home the system, play a key part in our transition towards and that's 0 future as well as benefit and customers, this is something that has benefits for consumers, unfurnished companies under the proposals, the small me to tracking 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 and our ages to go to view. so what does that mean to? i took my dinner at breakfast i'm, i'm berkeley, franklin. i didn't know what's going on with this. i mean, i think he's trying to raise prices at the time, such as breakfast anyway. it's not exactly the same way any of the time it do you think everything's right at the moment, everything. and if i want to cool, want to do and yes, work. i did call 40, so it may take a little convincing. well, one of the company is a step ahead and invite and 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 and none the right to buy the national grid is a jewel power from electric cars. those on charge on driveways or and so kids could then release energy into a central system as an when required selling the energy back. what sense would it

make it also to the other site, just whatever, whatever, whatever people are dismayed about, i think it needs to be challenged. and so if it's upset and people enough to think of people suffered this energy supply as has 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 increase, try to edwards dashti or t london that's countries pushed to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy. it could actually be aggravating. another crisis cobalt is an essential component of batteries with smartphones and electric cars and in the democratic republic of congo its mind by children and adults and pretty treacherous conditions . congo currently produces more than 70 percent of the world's cobalt last year was a boom year for this material with them on jumping 20 percent. that was driven by

the uptake of electric vehicles of course including tesla. so we visited some of congos quarries to find out the true cost of the green energy revolution. and you can watch it at full on r c dot com little. so our youtube channel. ah, ah, how long have you went to the corey since 2019. how old are you on the 17. do you know what they do with the tow 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 often lay growth before he died before

but the latest figures show that some 20000 work in the quarry. 20000 miners work here, but i work in the quarry because i have no money to continue my education. you have a kids? yes. amazing. you're born in 1983 and 8 children. in a week, i'll make about $50.00. for this money at stake 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 in 20 years? i'm already 15 or with

my thinking in terms working conditions, the autism mining method today post many more problems than in the industrial psych them are. i know mine is often the awful swindler out of money. sometimes i go home with just $0.50 in i don't know, i will die if it will be done. how will i pay for food? my husband has no jobs. well, will i get food? well like

ah, it's good to have you with us to day. the brazilian president is coming to russia within 24 hours. jaya. both scenarios visit will last 3 days and it does come mid heightened tensions between moscow and its professional partners in the west. the trip has been widely condemned in the media outlets saying it sends the wrong signal. given the situation over ukraine, washington reportedly lobbied for the visit to be scrapped altogether. bolton, otto though, says he'd only coming to talk trade or brazil is not the only country in latin america to go its own way. argentine as president says, are born as autos is seeking greater economic independence and new opportunities. i'm convinced argentina needs to stop being so dependent on the i m f and the u. s . and needs instead to open up to other places. and that is where it seems to me that russia has a very important role to play. we discussed our latin american aspirations to charge more independent path with daniel, sure, a professor of latin american studies, all this hoopla and disinformation about,

quote unquote, russian aggression in ukraine. and because augustine is designed to do just that, to demonize russia every day as we've seen argentina and she lane throughout the western hemisphere, the countries of south america and the caribbean are growing closer and closer and diplomatically and economically with russia. with china, we see the formation of these multilateral organisms that are challenging us, germany across the world. the united states sees it as a threat, any auction to the international monetary farm, to the swift banking system. the crypto currencies that are emerging, anything, the challenges, the dependency on the dollar dollar supremacy. washington seizes a threat. every country should be diplomatically, sovereign. self determination is something that should be respected throughout the

world. all the south american tribune is saying, we are not your backyard. we're not unique colonies. we have the right to diplomatically and economically, even militarily, engage with other major powers in the world. namely russia and china tried wrapping up the cost for this half hour. her life from moscow and archie international thanks for joining us here. we'll give you an update on the breaking news from the beijing lympics at the top of the hour. also keeping our eyes closely on that of you praying. this is the international web back soon with ah oh, when i was so wrong, when i just don't move out is the because the attitude and engagement equals the trail. when so

many find themselves world warren, we choose to look for common ground. ah ah ah. ah, subject wanted a brief hope to see something to do all about good can help us out on a marketing a brush up on your caller id. as he said, he said,
