the, the news the international olympic committee rules there won't be any award ceremony for rushing figure skating. saw camila leave up spot 15 year old being clear to further compete at the aging. went again, president putin approve the draft, respond to the us, and an ongoing back and forth unsecured proposals of the crisis in ukraine. while russia, defense minister says large scale military exercises are coming to an end. what's not coming to an end to the syria. i want to, to ation with the west, the media getting all out of an elderly morning, being trained to fall in ukraine while fighting to mention and you know, streaming through a power, retraining. the

brussels boiled with anger. i've read them going away from across the roll into the heart of europe to make their feelings felt the cobra restriction the just on that 9 pm here in moscow. thanks for joining us on our team to national. i'm daniel to review this evening. welcome to the program that we start this with a break news coming in from germany. you were a train crash report. he left at least one person dead and many injured just south of meaning to can me to drains cannot be station at 4 40 pm local time, causing the roman rescue cruiser at the scene. and one of the drivers is a power trapped in the wreckage. so far, no indication as to what exactly course the incidence will keep you updated as a situation develops on the international

empire committee says there won't be any awards ceremony for russian figures k to camilla leave her at the winter games if she does go on to another metal, it comes off to the court, what betrays with sport, lifted the suspension for testing positive for a band substance at an earlier event, allowing her to continue competing in beijing or correspondence at the games like sarah shasky can tell us more. this is something rather unprecedented that the olympic games now, ah, the i o. c came up with a statement that relating to this morning's decision by the court of arbitration, was forced to allow camille on eva to perform in bay. jing saying that of course it had to abide by the law because in such cases the see the cast decision cannot be reversed. its final and camille on eva cannot be stopped now from participating in tomorrow's individual figure skating event for females. but at the same time, ios, he said that not only the medal ceremony for the team figure skating event which russia, which the r o c team won gold at,

will not be held. but even if camille oliva ends up on the podium that would happen on thursday, because it's the 2 pots competition here for the metals, an individual female. i stick a skating competition. the metal ceremony in that case shall not be conducted. i've never seen anything like that in a history of olympic games in a way. the i o. c has the right to do that by the books considering it's the official investigation which is still continuing into the doping allegations against value. and it will continue for some time as when the stand off of the mix is over even up to a year as some experts have been suggesting, but still even before the competition kicked offs coming up with such a statement that is something really, really wild. i have to say there is a lot of an infuriated reactions from russian athletes and russian journalists. and obviously we are waiting for any kind of reaction from the russian olympic committee. now i'd like to remind that all this comes after this morning,

the court of arbitration was full. it's off to a meeting at a beijing hotel. decided to let camille of a leave of 15 year old russians data to continue her participation in the games. and citing 3 main reasons for that. first of all, her status as a protected bus and she is a minor and what us code, different sets of rule applied to athletes like that. secondly, because keeping her away from the competition would do irreparable damage at the secretary general of costs called it. and 3rd, and also important reasoning is the timing of the probe, which cost deemed as inappropriate, and not sufficient enough for me to leave and go on to ross to come up with any kind of legal defense. i believe we can listen to that reasoning from cough. the c 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, the russ inside here, the sports ministry, the r o c, and all those involved have been maintaining the value of its innocence for quite a while. now they welcome to the decision by cost to allow the athlete to perform, but a clear understanding here among everyone involved, that this is just the beginning of the story that we might be in for a roller coaster ride over investigation regarding volleyball. also there is a possibility that her b sample might be cracked open to see whether there was actual doping in the a sample. and that is something also confirmed by the russian anti doping agency which early and a statement said that the litigation and the investigation into that matter will continue. of course i will keep you updated on all the details as we get in that developing story here in beijing. now the believe us got ill clear to campaign rushes on today. i think i should see says it will delve further into the issue. it wants to look into any possible testing irregularity of the world. and, you know,

i think as you see meanwhile, has the keys. it's russian ross or failing the label volley of a sample property for expedited pre games processing. while the russian agency put spots as a stalker, i'm lab did place to give labels test pro. he stated the u. s. and the committees also weighed in saying they were expecting a different verdicts regarding the casino were disappointed by the message. this decision sense athletes have right to know who they are competing on a level playing field. unfortunately, to day that right is being denied. this appears to be another chapter in the systemic, and pervasive disregard for clean sport by russia. was 4th floor specialist doctor loosen of alone into all last the curse rolling is an important step but so as the case isn't foreigners this is the only road position to work that was to be made because nobody knows what in the end will happen. but to not allow have would have

being diverse. all depends what the explanation means. but it seems that rules out already lifted the suspension. that must be a good reason. now cos need also follow the rules are clear, it must be wishing 20 days and the stay wait, it's so long. and the explanation for the delay was not very convincing. what we heard khatri koby relate to the delay. i don't believe that. i think the b test must, must produce the results and then the whole case will be decided. and of course, it's not over, but i think an important step was the licensed reaction analysis surrounding the believe a case much more besides dot com, where you can also share your views in the column. that person has approve draft

rushes response to washington comments about moscow security proposals. the 10 page document was presented earlier to the president by foreign minister laboratory. and during the meeting lab of stressed, moscow was happy with most of the us response saying only part of it was constructive. also at the meeting, the defense minister reported some of russia's large scale, military drill that had been cause inconsiderable concern in the west. now wrapping up the drills are large scale. they include almost all fleets troops from all of the military districts. some of these drills are coming to an end, others will be ending soon. i mean, while the profession of european leaders having to care of continuous this fine, the german chancellor has held a meeting with the growing in president where he played down the dispute of ukraine's potential native american. the fargo from the question of membership in alliances in practice isn't an issue. so it is somewhat odd to see that the russian

government is making something that in practice is not on the agenda. the object of great political difficulty at 1st this park earlier are europe correspondence breed . are all about us more about the meeting between the german and ukrainian leaders and broke down with issues at stake. always starts off with what was really the elephant in the room between the 2, the nod stream to gas pipeline that runs between russia and germany. it hasn't opened yet, doesn't look like it's going to open anytime soon. both the, the ukranian president said the t and the german chancellor had different views on the president lindsey, saying that he viewed it ukraine views it as a geo political weapon. prior to that, we have heard very little from all our shelf about the old stream to pipeline it is much needed here in germany. the has been a lot of pressure on the chancellor over that particular infrastructure project, staying with president lensky. he was also asked a question about his country's ambitions to join nato,

and whether they were was still at the forefront of what they intended to be doing . he said that not everything was dependent upon what ukraine wanted when it came to joining nato at the moment. that was what he had to say about that when it comes to the german chancellor. he was asked about weapons coming from germany to ukraine . germany hasn't sent weapons to legal aid, is that sometimes called to ukraine. he did again, points out that germany has rules about doing that and that he wasn't foreseeing that happening anytime soon. he did points out the amounts of financial support that has been sent from berlin towards key of somewhere in the region of $2000000000.00 worth of financial support has been said. he said that would continue, and there would be more going down that route. thought before that meeting got underway. there was another big story doing the rounds from barton barton to boston, and just about everywhere in between. you turned on a tv set, picked up a newspaper logged on to an online new source. you probably saw images from the

ukrainian city of mario full on monday at seen of civilians of all ages. learning how to fire a soul trifle. this was a training that was taking place that was had to being carried out by national guardsmen. in some news outlets, we saw a particular one particular star that was 79 year old valentina learning to defend her country against russia if it was to invade. now it later turned out that those national guardsmen were actually from the far right, neo nazi organization, the as of battalion. they are part of the national guard in ukraine. they will remain committed in the national guard back in 2014. but they all right, and the not few organisation in their own rights. in fact, here in germany, what we saw in the newspapers was a different picture than what we got in most around the world. we didn't see valentina in this picture. instead,

a younger woman learning to shoot an a k 47 and not particular snap the the so you're facing or the member of the of battalion facing a different way. so you don't see the, the ru nick both angles insignia on his left shoulder. now that particular emblem is bond here in germany because it was used by the nazis. so he was the battalion and why did people go out of their way? news organizations go out of their way to not mention that it was then they were carrying out these trainings the the, the will have shoulds, the german chancellor moves all known his diplomatic to on tuesday. he's going to moscow, well, be meeting with vladimir putin as he's to continue. he's under

a lot of pressure from here in germany to come back with something tangible from this trip. a lot of pressure to show that he is the leader. when it comes to this particular crisis, there were less us warnings over a possible war with ukraine of phone, widespread confusion. and when chris, bon jonas, president barton managed to avoid the issue. ah, well you with officials don't seem to make up their minds when russia is supposedly inviting a crime. joe biden claim it could be before the end of the winter olympics and the media, citing officials, it could be this wednesday. now, american national security adviser is being a little 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 can 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 of you then open up any news website and it's plastered with warnings of the impending apocalypse is 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. and waldron 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 the citizens to preemptively evacuate

francis had not yet bought stock. carpet 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 this 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 would contemplate dropping that goal of nato, if it stopped war, you want it, 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 i've come down your own for exactly rating 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's just the latest move and a very cynical long game being played by the west senior. 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 sci fi there. now we're getting was 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 short precisely now is the time when we need such 3rd party observers that in order to provide some kind of stability and moscow fears that unfortunately o s c has been dragged into market politics. these decisions can't fail to cause a serious concern. the missiles deliberately dragged into the militaristic psychosis, fermented by washington and used as a tool for a possible provocation,

while talking about provocation. who are how about another batch of u. s. military equipment arriving and key as over the weekend. security of ukrainian. our space is dangerous, but not too dangerous. of course to deliver some arms. you really have to say with washington, like i said, flooding 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 flooding 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. says get out of speaking to rory earlier. well, as you heard in that report, the ukrainian ambassador to the u. k said keith would consider dropping his nato membership id. that statement cause of far as thought back at home. and he since backtracks with a foreign ministry, claiming he was misunderstood. what i told him that we are not a member of notes right now. and 3 word war, we are ready for many concessions,

but it has nothing to do was know to ukraine's aspirations for nato and the you are enshrined in the countries constitution. the words of the ukrainian ambassador to the you, k, very impressed act that ukraine is rapidly ready to consider rejecting nato membership to prevent war with russia are out of context. at the same time, no decision can be made against the constitution of ukraine. or the idea of ukraine abandoning its later membership hope's appeared to get a cautious thumbs up from the u. k. the armed forces minister said london would support that, but it's something for the ukrainians to decide political unless chris boehmer gave us his use on why it's such a device of this. you the further expansion of nato breaking a promise on the expansion crane. with me, russia is what so called by nissan member states. that is a very aggressive so i think that all goes and you create, you recognize this pieces to my, meet me just to mind that meeting, not to mind,

might be a crisis. you don't have to support pieces of russia, but what they will be perceived by this media is that he said russia is the aggressor. but as is a reality, is nato expansion in eastern europe in the former soviet republics. it's the supply of weapons, this position in april. first, i saw the phone system if you need to watch it in the y lee, all of that is ramping up. this pressure rustling has become a focal point of the kind of the inspired freedom con, one movement with protest is across the descending on the building capitol throughout the day to make that use heard on cobra restrictions. the streets took on the appearance over wall side with barricades barbed wire and police trucks. one place or to show that there was a case that i'd like to quote these images from the thick of the action. ah,

ah ted's times here in the belgian capital of brussels, where we have already seen scuffles between the police and the protest as the small privates gathered here in the european quarter near the commission and the parliament and what they trying to do in the last hour is to move where they were outside the park to join up with another protest. i want to give you a sense of the crowds here. and what they found is as they were moving down the street, the police came in and blockaded them. you can see the police now creating a barrier with vans and officers to ensure that the protestors cannot join up with other protests across the city. now we've been speaking to some of those who taking part in this protest as part of this so called freedom convoy. and they told us

exactly why they've decided to come here to brussels. and we will not lose our freedom. we will accept no lies, tear gas was fired at protesters and the shan sally. say i was also head on the street. i am 68 years old. this is a dictatorship regime. as all the people i know are already vaccinated. i don't, we came to the protest to support our french friends. we walked many kilometers. we are not against vaccines. we are against vaccine passes. we went out to protest for freedom, due to vaccine passes in france, we demand freedom. i came from paris. there was a convoy between a 1001500 vehicles that traveled across francais, took part in that protesting paris and on the outskirts over the weekend, trying to get here, but book the large part they have been stopped by the authorities. however, the protest is here to be vocal, they have to be loud. and while they may not have the strength in numbers that they

would like, they knew that they have the strength in numbers when it comes to social media and people across the european union, giving them their support for the reasons that they've come to the heart of europe, the capital of europe, as they've called it to make their voices heard loud and clear. the freedom convoys now making waves in the middle east, with a ruddy, into ruthless springing to get the protest movement from 40000 cities across israel, anchored by long running toby restriction and decision that will only make the humanitarian crisis. and i've got to stop worse. that's our rushes for a miss. she's condemn the decision while us president joe biden, to give off the country frozen $7000000000.00 enough can funds to the families of non 11 victims. the moves also been greeted with outrage and i'm going to stop for their bond not. we will not allow money to be given away like that. we already facing a financial crisis. and if they do that, it will push us further into this crisis. and you will have no hopes for jobs in

the future that the military man of this money is owned by asking how can the us use it, dictatorship powers and a unilateral decision to disperse it? afghans were not part of that war. if they have any evidence against us, they can prove it to the world that they have no money. everybody knows the sacrifices of the african nation in the war on terror have been far greater than those of the americans. that if we must ask them why they ignored on losses, this is just an illusion. and we were the victims of their aggression in the past. and they are continuing that again. the money which belongs to i've got a thought as county frozen at the federal reserve in new york going to san central bank because our president biden to reverse his order in terms of the country's economy. cheaters, on the brink off. so all international money supplies were immediately taught when the taliban swept back into power. the white house doesn't recognize the group as it has to model authority and is therefore withholding the funds. well,

the $911.00 victims and their families have a number about standing legal claims against the taliban, which at all but a summer. been loudon, the mastermind of the trustees in new york and washington. however, there has been no action. i was saudi arabia where 15 of the 19 hijackers came from, nevertheless, president why the decision to reallocate the frozen afghan funds is face to barrows? criticism online is implemented. the biden administration's decision and again, a stance foreign currency reserves were created. problematic precedent. joe biden. and now he's giving the money we stole from us. galveston, one of the poorest countries in the world and facing a must have ongoing famine and giving it to the families of people who died on 911 . something the taliban had nothing to do with this is katie artic did. you know, i can't stand is going to be the 1st country to help us say by giving to them 3 and a half 1000000000 despite the fact that they are going through financial difficulties of going astonished and plunged into chaos since a sudden pull out of us led forces last year, before the taliban retook power,

almost 80 percent of the previous governments buzzard came from the international community. journalist and research and nicholas davis. believe the decision to reallocate the funds as a crime against humanity. it is all so let's go opportunism on president i think because he's doing very poorly is party pace is congressional election. the idea of, of making this money available to compensate that the victims of september 11th is presumably something bad that he thinks will be popular. what the united states has done after it's withdrawn by freezing all this money is to, is to take one of the poorest most destitute war ravaged populations on to completely cut them off from the resources they need, simply to survive from one day to the next to many of these children and babies

dying of starvation and freezing and the winter in afghanistan right now. we're not even born at the time of the set september. the 11th crimes is just terrific and you know, it is, as i say, a crime against humanity. next to commentary travel is the cobalt mines in the democratic republic of congo, and their impacts on locals, health and environment. it was, it's going on the ground to join us to get it off one hour with and i drink, shaped by 10 percent of those with in

. there's things we dare to ask in ah, join me every thursday on the alex salmon show. and obviously the guess on the world of politics, sport, business, i'm sure business. i'll see you then. oh, when i would show the wrong one, i just don't want any world to see out disdain because of the african and engagement. it was betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. lou

lou. oh, i just wanted a brief hope to see something well about good. good to know what bus a does. he say? does it go nozik one. john that junk hit junk low. no, no posted with a

a 3rd to coordinate a find the local to say off or free quote with blue book is going to have a callback. oh, by a or b is comparable to cobalt as fear or family like this regulatory strain as you take the chemical badge you out on pleasant on the farm because wanted to see if you got it no care. sure. bus antenna county sorted by.
