a neo nazi extremis group is apparently training. with welcome to our international moneys peter scott taking over from daniel hawkins. and i'll be with you throughout the night, bringing you the news from our headquarters here in moscow. welcome to the program . and we start with breaking news. this, our canadian prime minister just in trudeau has figured the emergency that for the 1st time in canada history, giving the government special powers to quote the truck, a lead anti vaccine monday, protest which brought parts of canada to a standstill for over 2 weeks. the federal government is invoked. the emergencies act to supplement provincial and territorial capacity to address the blockades and occupations. the scope of these measures will be time limited,

geographically targeted, as well as reasonable and proportionate to the threats they are meant to address. the emergencies act will be used to strengthen and support law enforcement agencies at all levels across the country. this is about keeping canadians safe, protecting people's jobs, and restoring confidence in our institutions. the prime minister also stressed that he will not use the emergency out. the call in the military. canada is able to introduce special powers at the time of national crisis as a means of ensuring safety and security of its citizens. the countries announcement came after police removed activists from a border crossing in the province of ontario, but struggled to remove protesters in the capitol ottawa. meanwhile, the canadian province of ontario is rolling back many of his cove restrictions in an apparent concession to the nationwide freedom convoy movements the regional

premier has announced that compulsive 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. now to dig deeper into this latest development, we can cost live now to freedom. come via protested richard. dru laud, richard, welcome to the program. just in trudeau has invoked emergency powers against your movements. what's your reaction to this? oh 1st thank you for having me and he might think that it will trump our bill of

rights, but this numerous act is not trump or bill of rights or bill of rights supersedes. are freedom stay in place as they are these fear attacks. it said trudeau has been mandating on us, and doug ford has been waiting on us or a bunch of scare tactics that only a dictator would put so do you think it will spell the enfield protests over just further entrench your movement? well we been, well, yesterday i spent the night in jail with we complied, we were a comma in common core police officers that were there to help with the police. they instruct us where to stand and where to order. do our protesting legally. and then they sent us a form of over 500 officers to, to come and beat up little ladies and broke my ribs and my finger and got us in jail, in a terrible conditions for something that we didn't do anything wrong. we were,

we were standing there peacefully, protesting which is on our bill of rights. acceptable. and we will now it's been in vote for the 1st time since it was created in 1988. and just in trudeau has said that it will be used sparingly. and in a target said mana, are you confident that that would be the results of this? i don't, it's all about his agenda. and they have an agenda to restore health care system. our education system, the children, it's terrible. what's happening to them they are they have the power to freeze our accounts to take all our possessions away at a moment's notice, just because they deem us as dangerous just for having call it or anything they want to want to throw on us. they can, they can do it now under the new provisions. but i still say under the charter rights, they can't. i'm sure if i just need to go ahead to defend himself. he would say that that was not his agenda to destroy the health care education system. but what,

what do you think he says about his leadership that he's got to this point? it's been going on for 2 weeks now and it's the emergency that has been in vote is a terrible leader. there's a, there's nothing about him. is no good and it is, it is, is not about the people. he's about the money. he makes so much money off every single vaccine. the community makes so much money. every single vaccine that's procured or given and put in everyone's arm around the world are getting super rich and they will not. they will give that up, got time just for one more question, richard and we having conflicting reports about the nature of the protests on the one hand, please say that there are rest because of the dummy to cause. on the other hand, you know many things a peaceful movement. what's been your experience. i spent a couple weeks out in ottawa on a spent a week here in windsor protesting and it's been nothing but peaceful, loving, carrying people that want our country back. we want our rights and freedoms to be

acknowledged by our prime minister that we deserve those. and we want, we want to take a lesson, we won't stop fighting for them. now we've reported over the past couple of days that the freedom convoy is gaining global supports that been processed in france, australia, austria, i believe. why do you think it resonates so deeply with people? because it works a national junction. the more, and we're going to see what those are. see the, the, the progress we're making, we're, we're making them upset. we're, we're, we're turning the corner here and they don't know what to do. they're struggling and that's why they're putting in all these new immersed acts because they have no other choice right now because they're, they're backs up against the wall. i'm afraid that's all we have time for today. that's richard. do lot form of fights and freedom come by process. i think if you insight into that development, thanks for having me. now, brazil has become a focal points of the canada. inspired to freedom convoy movements we protest is

across the descending on the belgian capital throughout the day to make their views heard on the covey restrictions. the streets like a war zone with barricades barbed wire and police folks all in place. ortiz shot to bend ski was there, and our crew caught these images from the thick of the action. ah, i am with 10 times here in the belgian capital of brussels, where we have already seen scuffles between the police and the protest is the small crime that's gathered here in the european court near the commission and the parliament and what they tried to do in the last hour is to move where they were outside the park to join up with another approach. i sort of give you

a sense of the cry would say. 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 offices to ensure that the protesters 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 this exactly why they've decided to come here to brussels and kind of, we will not lose our freedom. we will accept no lies because here gas was fired at protesters and the sions 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, because in that was, i don't news, we came to the protest to support our french france. we walk, many kilometers goes on, we are not against vaccine. we're against vaccine das ms. do socket on that. and then we went out to protest for freedom due to vaccine passes in france and we

demand freedom. i came from paris. there was a convoy between a 1001500 vehicles that traveled across france. f took part in that protest in paris and on the outskirts over the weekend at trying to get here. but for the large call they have so 5 years. so it is. however, the protest is he, ah, he to be vocal, i 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 and people across the european union, giving them their support. the reasons they've come to the heart of europe, the capital of europe, as they called it, to make their voices heard loud and clear. the course of arbitration for sport has lifted the suspension of russian figure skater camilla valley ever. now south, she tested positive for a bun substance. it's an earlier events. that means she's now allowed to continue competing the beijing winter olympics. meanwhile,

the international olympic committee says there won't be any award ceremony for camilla valley over the winter games. if she goes to win another medal alexei, yada shifts keys in the whole city for archie. 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 sea of 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, one goal that 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 and individual female. i

figure 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 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.

and citing 3 main reasons for that. first of all, her status as a protected person. she is a minor and what is called different sets of rule apply to athletes like that. secondly, because i'm keeping her away from the competition would do irreparable. damage asked the secretary general of costs, cold it. and 3rd, and also important reasoning is the timing of the probe, which cost deemed as inappropriate and not sufficient enough for any level even hold on to ross to come up with any kind of legal defense. i believe we can listen to that reasoning from class. the serious panel also emphasized that there were serious issues of untimely notification of the results of the athletes and i doping test that was performed in december 2021, which impinged 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. b jing 2020 to the russian side. here the am sports

ministry, the r o c, and all the others involved have been maintaining a community of us 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 rollercoaster ride over investigation regarding believer. 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 are early in a statement said that the litigation and the investigation into that matter will continue. of course, i will keep you updated and all the details as we get in that developing story here . in beijing now, even though volley of has got the all clear to compete, russia's anti doping agency says it will delve further into the issue. it wants to look into possible irregularities in the testing and the world anti doping agency, meanwhile, is accused this russian branch of failing to label volley of us sample properly for

expedited pre games processing. while the russian agency, for his part said, the stock home lab did pledge to give believe his test priority status, the u. s. olympic committee has also wading saying they were expecting a different verdict regarding the 15 year old. we are disappointed by the message this decision sent. athletes have right to know who they are competing on a level playing field. unfortunately, today that right is being denied the supposed to be another chapter in the systemic and pervasive disregard for clean sport by russia. well, sports laws specialist ought to lucian valona, told us the cast really is an important step, but says the case isn't finished. is the only right decision to work that was to be made because nobody knows what in the end will happen, but to not allow her. it would have been the worst, all the penance. what the explanation is, but it seems that route are already lifted the suspension that there must be

a good reason. now, cos need also follow the rules are clear, it must be within 20 days. and the state waited so long entity exploration for the delay was not very convincing. what we, her khatri is koby relate to delay. i believe that i think the d test most most producing 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 was all the latest reaction on analysis surrounding the value of a case and much more besides that over to r t dot com, where you can also share your views in the comments section. let me putin has approved a draft, responds to washington in an on going back and forth over russia, security demands. the 10 page document was presented earlier to the president by 4

ministers. sort of a lot of during the meeting, lot of stress that moscow wasn't happy with most of the us response thing. only part of it was constructive. the we did out there was always a chance to negotiate. also at the meeting, the defense minister reported some of russia's large scale, military drills that had been causing considerable concern in the west. and 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. so. meanwhile, the procession of european leaders had in the care of continues. this time, the german chancellor has been as held a meeting with ukrainian presidents where he played down the dispute over ukraine's potential nato membership. c ferguson with the question of membership in alliances in practice isn't an issue. so it is somewhat all the standard to russian government is making something of that in practice is for not only joliet of the

object of great political difficulty at 1st as proctors mission of the earlier are europe correspondent piece oliver told us more about the meeting between the german and ukrainian leaders and brought down the key issues at stake. always starts off with what was really the elephant in the room between the 2, the nodes 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 much needed here in germany has been a lot of pressure on the chancellor over that particular infrastructure project. staying with president lindsey he was also asked the question about his country's ambitions to join nato, and whether they were, were 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 with 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 weapon to a little aid, is it 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 the financial support has been sent. he said that would continue, and there would be more going down that route. but 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 news 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 trifles. this was a, a training that was taking place that was had to be 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 and ukraine. they were amalgamated national guard back in 2014. but they all right, and the not the 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 valentino in this picture. instead, a younger woman learning to shoot an a k 47 and not particular snap the,

the soldier facing, or the member of the, of the 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 that were carrying out these trainings the the, the will have shoals, the german chancellor moves all known as 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 announced is temporarily relocate things embassy from ukraine's capital kia to revolve in the west of the country. although us warnings of a possible war of so widespread confusion and when quizzed by a journalist outside the whitehouse prison by the monies to dodge the issue. ah. 6 and while joe biden was enjoying valentine's day, ukrainian leader has an even bigger occasion planned. but he may zalinski said he's not expecting a russian invasion, bought another less. he's promising a day of ukrainian unity to counter that supposed threat nam, guthridge. we are told that the 16th of february will be the day of the attack now, but we will make it a day of unity. the subsequent decree has already been sideline. on that day,

we will raise national flags on blue and yellow ribbons and show are you in the world. we will let your neighbor worry well as zelinski just mentioned the us as pinpointed the 16th of february this wednesday, the dates when russia supposedly going to attack ukraine. although joe biden has also said it might not be before the end of the winter olympics. and the u. s. national security adviser said it could happen any day. earlier southgate taylor roy, sushi discuss the ongoing hysteria, has 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 one. 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 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, and kias, and moving west. we bought over 40 nations now which of the citizens to preemptively evacuate francis had not yet bought stock. carp 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 pass 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're 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, the reason is the ukranian president himself who think i've come down to over exaggerating the 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, were denying claims of any planned attack as observing well, this madness has concluded that it's just the latest move and a very cynical, long game being played by the west seniority. the purpose of this is to raise to whip up the situation and provocative activity. this is part of the provocation that did not begin to 3 months ago. that shit is a plant, long term constantly expresses act of the controlled by the united states, all of which means the accompaniment is 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. 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 e. that is the organization for security and cooperation in europe. now since $2141.00, of course, the conflict 1st broke out. it's had hundreds of monitors in done yet in eastern ukraine, basically keeping an eye on the situation and enforcing a cease fire 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 in armored vehicles. now this is a very strange move because showing now when the whole region is on edge, surely precisely now was 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 has deliberately dragged into the militaristic psychosis, fermented by washington and used as a tool for a possible provocation, was talking about provocation. well, how about another batch of u. s. military equipment arriving in 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 i'm nation 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 the 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 contrary. well that say you're bang up to date with all the latest from around the world. and of course not developments in the freedom convoy

movement. my name is peter scott. i'll be back again at the top of the hour. ah, how much longer can we take the u. s. and u. k. series lead there war of words is dangerous in reckless the rest of nato and even ukraine are much more restraint. but there's a count of deborah ukraine will be a conflict. washington in london, england. the world is driven by drimmers, shaped by thinkers and those with airs. sinks. we dare to ask

join me every thursday on the alex salmon. so when i was speaking to guess on the world politics sport business, i'm sure business. i'll see you then the monopoly, the semiconductor business would obviously be in taiwan with 80 percent on the market and going forward the need for diversity in the chip market is been screaming out loud for decades. but because of the vagaries of the money that allow for a concentration of power and wealth in the cluster, craddick hands of the khaki stock or see the least qualified to rule, you have market breakdown supply chain breakdown and economic collapse

to ah oh, i just wanted to check with to see something with it, he said, does it go no see junk junk? no no no no posted with a a.
