the who's in canada from and if you look to the emergency that that will give us government extra power to handle ongoing protests against cobra mandate. national committee rules. there will be any more ceremony for russian figure skating star camila believe by the 15 year old being cleared to further completed the beijing went again, the president proved to approve a draft response from the us can an ongoing back and forth on security proposal. let them into crisis in ukraine, while russia defense, large scale military exercises are coming to an end. what's not coming to an end, syria over the situation would be western media going all out and fall of an elderly woman being trained to fly from new crime. while fighting to mention a new naulty extremist group is fighting on

the block for most they're just going to want a m a n rush capital. thanks for joining us in the program. on daniel, who now we start with breaking news on the program. this, our canadian department is justin trudeau has triggered the 1000000 c. that's for the 1st time in kind of us history, giving the government special ability to quell a trucker, lead anti mandate protests which have wrought parts of canada to a standstill for over 2 weeks. were entering the 3rd week of a legal blockades disrupting the lives of too many canadians. here in our capital city, families, small businesses have been enduring, illegal obstruction of their neighborhoods, occupying the streets, harassing people, breaking the law. this is not a peaceful protest. the federal government has invoked the emergencies

act to supplement provincial and territorial capacity to address the blockades and occupations. this comes after police arrested 11 people that approach snell back and forth really remove dr. border crossing in ontario. we spoke to a church pastor also who's been involved in the project. he thinks there's no justification for cracking down on the movement. so he's going to invoke the emergency act for the greatest winter festival and creating history or what's he talking about? well, i think we can look out at that, the majority of canadians are on the side of the moving freedom movement. because at this point, you don't have 16 percent support in the polls, which we all know isn't a lot. it's going to, it keeps on diminishing as he forcefully acts against his own citizens, against the people that voted him in it is it, i don't think much will change because the more the more he presses the people,

the more it confirms that they are standing up for what they should be signing up for, which is our god given freedom, we can keep up any more. we don't know as closely as our closing is opening up right now is when we were removing this by keeping out he said it's keeping the math. people cannot go to the sports hall so which one is that we can keep track. meanwhile, the canadian problem, so i'm sorry i was rolling back many of its co restrictions in an apparent concession into the nationwide freedom column. one movement, the regional premie as announced that compulsory vaccine checks will be dropped from the 1st of march. over the weekend. i received recommendations from doctor more on a plan to safely reopen our economy and remove ontario's vaccine passport system. i've accepted these recommendations and so today i can announce that beginning on february 17th, we will remove all capacity limits, except for sporting events,

concert venues and theaters, which will be cap of 50 percent. russel has become a focal point of the canada and spot free, and conway movement with protest is across the e, descending on the belgian capital throughout the day to make that use heard uncovered restrictions at a streets. so going to the parents of a war zone with barricades bob why and police trucks all in place. and he saw the whiskey there and our crew caught these images from the thick of the action. ah, i did 10 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 cry would tear. 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 bands 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, a 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. your gas was fired at protesters and the sions alizae. 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 because that was, i don't news. we came to the protest to support our french friends. we water,

many kilometers goes on. we are not against vaccine. we're against vaccine das miss deuce. located on with 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 francis took part in that protest in paris and on the outskirts over the weekend at trying to get here. but for the large part, they have been stopped by the authorities. however, the protest this he ought to be vocal, they hate 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. people across the european union, giving them the support, 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 call to trace, the sport has lifted the suspension of russian figure skater camilla leave our

office. she tested positive for a band substance at an earlier event. that means she's now to continue competing at the beijing winter lympics. meanwhile, the international olympic committee says there won't be any awards ceremony for kimberly, i believe that went to games if she goes on to win. another metal alexia, chef, keys in the house, city for auntie. 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, i yo see 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 a 2 part competition here for the metals, an individual female. i figure skating competition. the metal ceremony in that case shall not be conducted. i've never seen anything like that in the 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 to stand after the mimics 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 for sports after 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 are citing 3 main reasons. for that 1st of all, her status as a protected bus and she is a minor and what is called 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 that level, even 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. and i believe it's clear to convey to russia advantage agency says it will delve further into the issue. it wants to look into any possible testing irregularity. in the world, i think, i should say, meanwhile,

has the keys. it's russian grants are failing, the label, believe a sample properly for expedited pre games processing. well, the russian agency for its spot. so the thought crime, lab bid pledge to give lee of assess priorities. thanks as the us senate committee is also weighed in saying they were expecting a different verdict regarding a 15 year old. we are disappointed by the message this decision since athletes have right to know, they are competing on a level playing field. unfortunately today that roy is being denied. this appears to be another chapter in the systemic and pervasive disregard for clean sport by russia. sports law specialist doctor lucien bologna told us the cath ruling is an important step but says the case is far from obo. this is the only route decision to work that was to be made because nobody knows what 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 there must be a good reason. now costs need also follow rules. 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 could call beat relate to delay. i don't believe that i think the b test must, must produce 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 full, the latest reaction on analysis surrounding the believe a case and much more besides dot com, where you can also share, you'll use in the common letting a put in has approved

a draft response to washington date and ongoing back and forth. the russia security dom up. the 10 page document was presented earlier to the president by foreign minister. elaborate during the leasing lab of stress. moscow wasn't happy with most of the us response saying only part of it was constructive, so he had, it was always charleston associates because also at the meeting, the defense minister report had some brushes, large scale, military drills that had been causing considerable concern in the west we are now wrapping up a large scale. they include almost $20000.00 troops from all of the military districts. some of these drills are coming to an end, others will be ending. so meanwhile, the procession of european leaders heading the key of continues this time the german chancellor has held a meeting with the cranium president where he played down. that is b cranes, potential nato membership. 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 of that in practice is renata object of great political difficulty at 1st. as part of our europe correspondent breed rollover, told us more about the meeting between germany and ukrainian leaders and broke down the key 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, crane views it as a geo political weapon. prior to that we have heard very little from all our show about the old stream to pipeline is 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 the 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. but when it comes to the german chancellor, he was asked about weapons coming from germany to ukraine. germany hasn't said weapon after 2 or lethal ages, it's sometimes called to ukraine. it again, points out that germany has rules about doing that, and that he wasn't foreseeing that happening anytime soon. he did point out the amount to financial support that has been sent from berlin towards key 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, late to turn out that those national guardsmen were actually from the far right, neo nazi organization, the battalion, they are part of the national guard and ukraine. they were remodel, committed, national guard, back in 2014. but they all right, and the not few organization 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. you 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 runic, 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. washington's announces temporarily relocating its embassy from ukraine's capital key of to live in the west of the country. though us warnings of a possible war have soon after once per confusion, were increased by journalists outside the white house. president biden managed to avoid the question the wild buttons enjoying buttons on this day. the king and leader has an even bigger occasion plan that he moves it and you said he's not expecting a russian invasion, but nevertheless, he's promising a day of ukrainian unity to counter that supposed threat non guthridge. we are told

that the 16th of february will be the day of the attack. now, we will make it a day of the 16th decree has already been signed night. on that day we will raise the national flags on the blue and yellow ribbons. ensure you know, the world we're similar. let y'all know anybody. zalesky mentioned the us has pinpointed the 16th of february this wednesday as the day when rushes supposedly going to attack ukraine. job lloyd and also said it might not be before the end of the winter olympics, and the u. s. national security adviser has said it could happen any day earlier south to taylor and rory, sushi, discuss the ongoing hysteria. 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 true or not, no one, not true, but 9 invasion roots papers are placing bets on what exactly russia is going to

evade. and world war 3 is going to start sometime this week. apparently never mind, of course that the previous bat 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, and key. as and moving west. we've got over 40 nations now, which of, of the citizens to preemptively evacuate from to said 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 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 would contemplate dropping the goal of nato, if it stopped war, you wants it. it might. is that something you are now contemplating in order to

avoid war? we 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 a middle of hysteria, a voice. the reason is the ukrainian president himself who's saying guys come down, you're over exaggerating this threat. and in fact, in his call with joe biden on sunday, he even invited b. 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 absolving all this madness and has concluded that it's just the latest move and a very cynical long game being paid by the west. got seniority. the purpose of this is to raise to whip up this situation and provocative activity. this is part of the provocation that did not begin 2 months ago. it is a plans long term conflicts that is act of the controlled by the united states, all of which means the accompaniment is unprecedented. western media resources that

to class 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. 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 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 route because showing 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 that 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 while talking about provocation. well, how about another batch of u. s. military equipment arriving in kiev 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 i in action with the help of course of its allies span 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 absolutely nothing to deescalate despite of course,

all its claims to the country. and as you heard there ans ask is report the ukrainian ambassador to the u. k said, cheer would consider dropping. it's noted a membership bid that statement cause a firestorm back at home when he since backtracks with the from ministry claiming he was misunderstood. what a tall him that we are not a member of notes are right now. and 3 word war we are ready for medical sessions. mother has nothing to do, was natal 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 reportedly ready to consider rejecting nato membership to prevent war with russia out of context. at the same time, no decision can be made against the constitution of ukraine. the order of ukraine abandoning its late over ship hopes 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. put aside political analysts,

chris boundary, gave us his use on why it's such a divisive issue. the further expansion of nato. raphael promised a crate with me. russia is what so called by nissan member state. that is a very aggressive so i think that all goes and you create you recognize pieces to my me just to mind that meeting, that to mind might be a crisis. you don't have to support pieces of russia, but what they will be perceived by this media here. he's to the, is the aggressor. but as a reality is nato expansion in eastern europe, in the former soviet republics, it's the supply of weapons this position. and they told me i saw the thing says to me, so need to wash it in the black li. all that is wrapping up this pressure us how speaker nancy pelosi as distance herself from calls within her own policy to fund the police. it was

a rallying cry of the black lives matter movement in recent years, but the california democrat insists it was never supported by the party apollos, he will be running for reelection in the mid terms in november, hoping to extend her 30 plus years running congress unfolding suggest that's going to be a rough ride with support for the democrats in free full year of slashing police funding. just one of the many issues were prominent democrats have been adults with the majority of voters as well. some of them have said in the past when we say defun police, what we mean is people are dying and we need to invest in people's livelihoods. instead example, detroit spent $294000000.00 on police last year and $9000000.00 on health. this is systemic oppression in numbers. we're going to defend the police and refund our social services. don't like this idea. well, we don't like debt black and brown bodies and broken families at the hands if they

sworn to protect us. the police have failed at fixing themselves, so we're going to do it too many police in our country are more concerned with protecting white supremacy than serving the communities that pay the salaries to fund the police became a popular slogan after the murder of george floyd at the hands of a police officer in my 2020, at the heart of the unrest. more than 20 major us cities including new york, chicago, and seattle slash that law enforcement budgets. those cuts, though, were like to reverse the author of spike in von a crime and new record homicide rights. meanwhile, the latest u. s. polls put support for the democrats that 42 percent, while 47 percent back, the republican party. and i say this could mean defeat for joe biden is faulty at the upcoming mid subs. we discussed the issue with dominic is i way retired police officer or she doesn't remember that the rhetoric against law enforcement the last several years has been completely, well, it's the worst i've ever seen it. and in my time and law enforcement. so i think

that the democrats, there's backtracking, or in a midterm election year, and all of a sudden you're going to need to, you need to have the balance between the police in the communities. so this is just their same tactic every single year. this is a big, synergistic go back and forth between the cops who are not allowed to do their jobs . criminals, you could do whatever they want. and politicians who are blaming the cups. so it's, it's, it's black and white. and the story. i honestly think for all the attention we're giving the american police officer, we're not giving them a much enough attention for where it needs to be, which is how is just affecting them. no one is talking about that, and that's a big conversation that needs to be had next going on the ground. if you're in the u. k. cut shop. without he documentary you explore the cobalt mines in the democratic republic of congo, and that impacts on locals, health and environment. next is that peter scott, he'll go through the night c global news headlines until morning from the team and myself. it's thank you. i'm good not ah

oh, how much longer can we take the u. s. and u. k. seriously, there war words is dangerous and reckless. the rest of nato and even ukraine are much more restraint. there's a count of deborah ukraine. it will be a conflict washington in london, england promote with i mean, ah,

i'm african return seniority going underground on valentine's day, coming up with the show says he is on from the signing of the master treaty that established the european union is the economic superpower losing it to muscle after arguably succumbing to u. s. influence over russia, ukraine, amid fresh disputes of the post breaks at northern ireland protocol. we ask you nato interlocutor in the form of special assistant, the u. s. president barack obama, and it's 70 years since the then princess elizabeth was told she was queen amidst the brutal ma my rebellion and kenya. but his kenya really free for british colonialism. 59 years of independence and still over 50 percent of children in kenya and living in poverty. we investigate all this more coming up in today's going underground. but 1st that he has this month, the maastricht treaty was signed by 12 nations establishing the european union and paving the way for the single currency the your own out that he has on it's deemed in economic superpower, while arguably dividing many on its future.
