with your watching international. my name is peter scott and wherever you are joining us from. welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis. canadian prime minister just intruder has triggered the emergencies arch for the 1st time, encountered this history, and that gives the government special powers to quell the truck. a lead anti vaccine monday protests which brought parts of canada to a standstill for over 2 weeks. the unprecedented move comes just days that the trudeau claimed the country was unified. canada has been never been so strong and together as we are now. 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. now, canada is able to introduce the emergencies either at the time of national crisis, as a means to ensure the safety and security of its citizens. the new powers facilitates among other things, the towing of trucks that have been blockading the streets and the freezing of bank accounts suspected of supporting the protest. even though the acts will apply across the country, premiers, inca beck, alberta, saskatchewan, and manitoba and said they don't want it used in the provinces. meanwhile,

the canadian province of ontario is rolling back many of his co restrictions in an apparent concession to the nationwide freedom convoy movements the regional premier has 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'm going to nouns that beginning on february 17th, we will remove all capacity limits, except for sporting events, concert venues and theaters, which will be cap, a 50 percent fairly. we spoke with a freedom convoy, ontario organizer about the new powers and he said that the prime minister should engage in dialogue with the truckers as opposed to using force. i think the power

do not. let's be honest here. real leaders will come out and talk to the people, they'll come in and find resolve and resolution, especially when the people are being peaceful. and they're only asking that the mandates and we have not used any violence. we have not caused any problems. in fact, we've, we've done more good than these leaders, the so called leaders and ottawa keep attacking us with media and lies. so for us, we're not moving, we're not going anywhere until our demands are met, regardless of what just intruder says we're trying to be. we don't want any kind of escalation of any sort of government who continues to double down with an irish. just what i'd like to see though is the government to actually come out and talk to us and hear what we have to say. rather than continuous. we try to talk on people over in europe. brussels has become

a focal point to the canada inspired freedom convoy movement. we protested across the u defending the belgian capital throughout the day. so they, they have you heard uncovered restrictions and the streets loads more like a war zone with barricades, barbed wire and police trucks. all in place. artsy, shot dependency was the and our crew caught these images from the thick of the action. ah ah. heads times here in the belgian capital of brussels, where we have already seen scuffles between the police and the protest is the small crime. it'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 protest. i want to give you a sense of the cry. i would say a more 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 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. this part of this so called freedom convoy and they told us exactly why they've decided to come here to brussels and kind of we will not lose our freedom. we will accept no lice cure. 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 walk, many kilometers, goes on, we are not against vaccine. we're against vaccine das miss deuce located on it. and

then 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 wrong set to part in that protesting paris and on the outskirts over the weekend at trying to get here. but for the large call, they have been stopped by the authorities. however, the protest is here, ah, he 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 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 called it, to make their voices heard loud and clear. announcement of the story were across today. the course of arbitration for sports has lifted the suspension of russian figure skater camila, believer after she tested positive for bon substance at an earlier event. now that

means she's allowed to continue competing at the beijing winter olympics. meanwhile, the international olympic committee says there won't be any award ceremony for camila valley of the winter games. if she goes on to win another medal, alexey, or chef skis in the host 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 beijing 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 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, begging 2020 to the russian side. here the am sports ministry, the r o c, and all the others involved have been maintaining a camila volley 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 the gym. now, although volley of has got the all clear to compete, russia's anti doping agency says it will delve further into the issue, wants to look into any possible testing irregularities. the world anti doping agency, meanwhile, has accused this russian branch of failing to label valley of

a sample properly for a, quote, expedited pre games processing. while the russian agency for its part said, the stockholm lab did pledge to give believe his test priority status. the usaa olympic committee has also weighed in saying they were expecting a different verdict regarding the 15 year old star. we are disappointed by the message this decision sends 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 figure skating coach and arts of his marty hall os essays. camilla valley ever has been subject to differential treatment by the international testing agency. it's very hard to keep secrets from the press in the public when you, when you're on that large of a world stage. but i do agree she really i, you know, camila valley eva. she really got the shorthand stick,

especially when the international testing agency themselves said it typically does not reveal the names of minors, but did so for, for the necessity for official information due to high public interest. so just shows that this agency does not even follow their own protocol and roles. the olympics should be fair and the entire world should really want that and actually demand policies and systems that are in place to ensure that doping cannot happen. and what that usually means is criminal prosecution, this story, it breaks my heart, it breaks every figure, skaters, heart control the latest reaction and analysis surrounding the valley of a case and much more, besides feel free that over to r t dot com, where you can also share your views in the comments section in the news, but even putin has approved a draft response to washington and on going back and forth over russia,

secure to the months. the 10 page document was presented earlier to present to the president by foreign minister said gala rove now during the meeting, love ro, stress that moscow wasn't happy with most of the us response to something on the part of it was constructive though he did, there was always a chance to negotiate. also, at the meeting, the defense minister reported some of russia's large scale, military drills had been causing considerable concern in the west. and now wrapping up the drills are large scale. they include almost a fleet troops from all of the military districts. some of these drills are coming to an end. others will be ending soon. and meanwhile, the procession of european leaders had in the care of continues. this time, the german chancellor was held a meeting with ukrainian president where he played down the dispute of ukraine's potential nato membership. the fargo force, with the question of membership in alliances in practice, is as an issue through the somewhat all to stand which russian government is making

something of that in practice. as for not only joliet of the object of great political difficulty or at 1st as partners mission of the earlier are europe correspondent, pizza. oliver told us more about the meeting between the german 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 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 that he and the german chancellor had different views on the president lindsey, saying that he viewed it would 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. but when it comes to the german chancellor, he was asked about weapons coming from germany to ukraine. germany hasn't sent weapons to a little age that sometimes called to ukraine. he did again, points out that germany has rules about doing that. and that he wasn't foresee that happening anytime soon. he did points out the amounts of financial support that has been sent from berlin towards kiev, somewhere in the region of $2000000000.00 worth the financial support has been said . 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 modern day scene of civilians of all ages, learning how to fire a soul trifles. this was 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, the 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 so you're facing all the, 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 all 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 has announced is temporarily relocating its embassy from ukraine's capital care will evolve us in the west of the country. although us warnings of a possible war zone, widespread confusion, and when quick by journalists outside the white house, president by the moneys to dodge the issue, ah and while joe biden was enjoying valentine's day ukrainian leader has an even bigger occasion planned volume is lensky has said, he's not expecting a russian invasion, but nevertheless, he's promising a day of ukrainian unity to counter that. suppose a threat of coverage. we are told that the 16th of february will be the day of the

attack. now 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 any of the world we've let y'all know any of our worry? and as the lensky just mentioned, the u. s. has pinpointed the 16th of february, which is this wednesday, as 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 he got up and any day now, earlier stuff gets illinois, sushi disgust 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 one. exactly. russia is going to evade waldman 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 t. as and moving west. we bought over 14 nations now which of 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 was willing 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 amidst all of the hysteria, a voice, the reason is the ukrainian president himself who sank. i've 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, 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 paid by the west senior. 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 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 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 c e. that is the organization for security and cooperation in europe. now since 2014, when of course the conflict 1st broke out. it's had hundreds of monitors in done yet in easton, 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 as that in order to provide some kind of stability and moscow fears. but unfortunately,

o s c has been dragged into murky politics. these decisions can't fail to cause a serious concern. the mission 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 t 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 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. as you just heard in sussex reports the ukranian

ambassador to the u. k. to you, case that here would consider dropping is nato membership bid. now that statement caused a firestorm back home and he has since boatright with a foreign ministry claim and 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 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 brent war with russia out of context. that the same time no decision can be made against the constitution of ukraine. the idea of ukraine abandoned in his nato membership 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 to decide political unless chris bambridge gave us his views on why is such

a divisive issue. the further expansion of nato breaking a promise for the expansion cream would mean 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 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 here 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 positioning, nato. a sort of thing system, if you need to wash it in the black slee, all that is ramping up this pressure. those are the main stories this our head over to r t dot com or social media pages. for more money is peter scott. and i'll be back again at the top of the hour. but state you from all great programs here are not see

ah, the monopoly, the semiconductor business would obviously be anti one with 80 percent of the market. and going forward the need for diversity in the 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 collected craddick hands of the khaki stock or see the least qualified to rule, do you have market breakdown supply chain breakdown and economic collapse when i would show the wrong one, i just don't want any room. yes. to see power disdain,

because the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. for a ah, subject wanted a brief hope to see something to do all about good and what bus a bus stuck in your corner. does he say did is it off with or not? it was just junk junk. a hosted

with a security that lives. a with a 30 coordinate a find the vehicle both to say off on frequency with when a book is going to go through every callback mobile, do you want to book a more comparable in a cobalt se on family like a swindler,

trailer city. the chemical bye to do our own closing on the left hand because we'll get to see kit got it. no care ship us until the conditions away her. she'll calculate it on that which will be presentable, completely problem and can be concerned if i can do see i'm you know, i'm, if, when you show a bus can they did for new high school am is up is a long before like they defy laminated and it is yeah, 2 side slats are great in september for michelle which will not let by limited to push their controls. driscoll up board somewhere near.
