it is tuesday, february, the 15th and just off at 9 am here in moscow were ready off to our writing start here. what are you into national? welcome to your new years. so canada's prime minister just intruder has triggered the emergencies act for the 1st time in the country's history. claiming that a truck has protest that's now into his 3rd week, threatening the security of the country. here in our capital city, families, small businesses have been enduring, illegal obstruction of their neighborhoods, occupying streets, harassing people, breaking the law. this is not a peaceful protest. we cannot and will not allow illegal and dangerous activities to continue. however, civil liberties groups say the criteria for triggering the act haven't come anywhere near to being satisfied. they are hard to, they are hard to meet by design, basically as the act ones actually they did a allows government to bypass democratic procedures. now the actors are supposed to

be only applied in the case of a national crisis and gives the government extra power with 30 days, including the ability to close bank accounts and seize vehicles. a critic say the so called freedom, a convoy, protest against vaccine mandates, doesn't amount to a threat to national security. but premiers in some canadian province is saying they don't want the emergency legislation implemented on their territories. we don't believe this is necessary and alberta, we think it could actually be somewhat counter productive. it is not legitimate and it is useless. so we don't want it. and we don't want the extent of the powers that the federal government could give itself. well. meanwhile, in the countries capital city office, supporters of a truck, those remained come to out on parliament hill. there was a bit of a festive atmosphere with loud music being played some people with dancing. earlier we spoke with a freedom convoy ontario organized about the newly triggered government powers. he

told us that prime minister should resort to dialogue. not for i think the tower do not. let's be honest here. real leaders will come out and talk to the people. don't come in and find resolving resolution, especially when the people are being peaceful and they're only asking 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 in 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 tries to be. you don't watch any kind of escalation of any, any sort of government who continues to double down with an irony. 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. well, things have now even reached a point where showing support for the freedom convoy could cost you. your job is vancouver radio's kid cost and found out off a. he said on air. the movement was not racist. house to radio show, i'm expect to talk about all sorts of things, but it seems i have to avoid talking about all the things that really matter. and it's especially hard with the thing that's having an ottawa. we spoke with pastor henry hildebrand to says that the more repressive the government is, the more the people will support the truckers. 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 and it's going to, it keeps on diminishing as he forcefully acts against his own citizens. against the people that bordered 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 stand up for, which is our god given freedom. we can keep up any more, we don't know is closing is closing is opening up right now is when we were removing this, but 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. and the freedom convoy is gaining support beyond canada or the belgian capital, the latest global city to have held a rally and solidarity. people came from all over the you to attend and voice their objection to cope restrictions and mandates. and in the midst of it was a correspondent solitude. ah,

as you can see, we've now got tensions in the crowds. the police have formed this barricade on the one side of us and less than about 5 or 6 meters away. there's a barricade on the other side. what they're doing now is a catalyst into this one area and not allowing us to pass at this moment. you may have just seen that man trying to get past the police and then being pushed back by the offices here. a protest is of come out. they say to be peaceful. they say that they want to join other protests across the city. but quite frankly, that is not being allowed. the authorities are trying to keep it laid on any issues here in brussels. so actually i can send any more, deserves like a freedom. and i mean, i'm really need someone to please, and it's a shame i just received guess in my eyes, the currency to get an update. but he said it's really dividing people in 2

different categories. and people are parked in each other instead of a unifying. and i think by just a shame, we will not lose our freedom. we will accept no lice, tear gas was fight, it protest isn't jonesal. he say, i was also he, on the street and 60 years old, the said dictatorship regime, as all the people i know already vaccinated. i knew we came to the protest to support our french friends. we walk many kilometers. we are not against vaccines. we are against vaccine past due, so for the most part, the convoy failed in it's subjective traffic was stopped and russell didn't fall under the power over movement. that feels as if it had a strong social media presence. however, protest this did achieve. but one thing, the compelling anti code restriction movements from several countries across europe, under one banner to show that they have

a voice and to demand that it heard charlotte's even sky off. he ruffled some past the hour. here in moscow, russian figures getting prodigy camilla valley ava struggled to hold back the tears as she spoke to the media for the 1st time about the doping scandal that has rocked her olympics. she was clear to compete by the court of arbitration for sport on monday. this is what she had to say in reason, you know, whether it's good for me. i would say, yeah, rather. so i will show it if we were show a good she you know to do before michelle,

cuz you can just pick it up. so that's a well that camilla valley ever is due to take part in the women's single skating competition later on tuesday. that will be tuesday evening, beijing time. and just a short time ago, i spoke with correspondent alexia shasky. while eva is among the last 5, fig escaped us to take to the ice. that will happen about 10 p. m. local time here . and it's a big question as to how she is emotion in a fit for this competition. you just saw the bit of an interview with a russian broadcasting channel. here she was very emotional. she was fighting back tears. and it's a big question whether she will be able to perform as she usually does in such circumstances. we have to understand that the believer is not just as states as she is head and shoulders above everyone, pretty much in the world right now. she's a heavy favorite to win gold, and also let's not forget that on the should buckle and alexander to so are all also very strong. fig estate us representing

r o c. there will be also competing in that program. so there is a heavy chance that on thursday when the individual female eyes figure skating championship rounds up, the, the entire r o c podium will be there. but we've already heard from the international olympic committee that should believe or be anywhere within the top 3. when the championship rounds up, there will be no metals ceremony that is, according to the eye, you'll see statement that they said that they can not hold a metal ceremony. not even for the team figure skating event, which happens a 10 days ago where oliva was a part of the program. ah, this is quite a, you know, a divisive decision have many have said already that it's controversial and to add even more fuel to the fire that they had of i uses disciplinary committee also came up with a somewhat awkward statement saying that they did feel sorry for all the clean athletes, even if they are from russia, if that is a joke,

while many said that this is kind of a bad joke for. busy an official of such a high stature here in beijing. in any case, there's been also a flurry of wards of support for camille oliver. i believe we can listen to some of those july to this case. i wish for you to remain calm and hey, she tune the situation you. i mean it's very difficult here and a lot of passion. yeah. but as a great athlete, people overcome all these and perform wonderfully all that we believe in museum. someone have had a thought, everything will be fine, you'll get through it. don't worry. i try going to let you know. i want to wish her good luck and say that we're lucky, very much a proud of hasn't fast hip she teams again see if what you point using is of i'm very worried about half from the bottom of my heart. i wish her success golf, regardless of how the competition goes, he and mange in beijing whole female skaters in the individual program. we understand everyone understands here that it's just the beginning of the story cur

. believer is allowed to participate, but clearly there will be an investigation. there will be legal cases. so trying to find out where the she really did use the band substance tri, met as a dean just before coming here to beijing. but we've already heard from the russian anti doping agency in a statement that indeed there was a irregularity when it comes to the doping testing. because ruth saw the claims that they did send the probe to the stockholm laboratory, accredited by water on time. and for whatever reason, the result came back only on september 7th, a result of believe that there was absolutely no obstacle whatsoever for that laboratory to produce the positive test before the olympics. and of course, that would have disqualified camille oliver from participation in his games. and this full roar would have been largely avoided. and obviously the litigation that it will ensue after the olympics is over, also would have been avoidable. in any case, i'm going that tonight to see how camille of oliver performs to get some reactions

as well. and of course i will keep all of us updated with everything i hear and see and making. the german chancellor, olaf sholtes, has played down the prospects of you train joining nato. his remarks are made during his visit in care of on monday, though his next stop is here in moscow where he'll be discussing of the ukraine crisis with his russian counterpart of vladimir putin has long made it clear that keeps accession to the alliance is a red line, 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 or at 1st as part of that when it comes to what support berlin will be providing for kia, vol. i've sholtes said that germany remained committed to its partner to the east, but what he said they wouldn't be doing. we're sending weapons lethal aid to

ukraine. however, the german chancellor was very king to point out exactly how much financial aid germany had already sent to ukraine and said that they would continue to do that in the future. me, us finally with more than $2000000000.00 we have made the ukrainian economy more resilient and independence in the face of foreign influence. we have in short as we're tanami and resilience. and i can assure you that we will continue the supports with the same determination. all sholtes and said that germany will be part of sanctions that will be leveled at russia if there is an invasion of ukraine . but all of schoultz is also pointed out, particularly when he was stood alongside joe, by not so long ago that sanctions against russia would have a serious impact upon germany. if you look at trade, germany exports $30000000000.00 a year to russia. it imports around $19000000000.00 a year from russia when it comes to energy. germany gets 36 percent of its pipeline

gas from russia. it gets 34 percent of its crude oil from russia. all of those things absolutely crucial to keeping germany's industrial power house. it's a colony, in fact, taking over all of those things that would be impacted by sanctions if they were imposed upon russia. all of these things, of course, have to be kept in mind by the german chancellor. it's going to be an interesting me think between all shows and vladimir parrot and we'll be keeping a close eye on it here at the all of the news as it comes out of moscow course we'll have it for you. we spoke with german politician, said him dangling on a variety of issues ranging from nordstrom to to the implementation of the minsk agreements and to that of the delivery of lethal weapons to ukraine. is it because in fact, it is good that the federal government continues to say no to direct arms

deliveries, funding. i also hope that the german government will not approve how it says in my opinion, this would compromise our position of immediate and dialogue partner with russia also in the normandy form of them. and it would make us on reliable. and it is particularly important that the german government does not take orders from the u. s. in this regard, i think it's scandalous that the u. s. president declared that the european russian energy project not stream to would be terminated in case of russia invasion of ukraine. which of course, also shows what he thinks of the democratic sovereignty of germany and the european union as a whole. the united states perceives european countries as satellite states and the german government must also point out that it is not prepared to allow european citizens, especially german citizens, to have higher energy costs because of the u. s. geopolitical policy of confrontation, not seem to, is in the interest of the german people of energy. prices are rising and rising and

there is no prospect of its ending in germany. i consider it politically, economically, and environmentally stupid to want to bury such a project because of the g strategic goals of the u. s. the people who would suffer from such a policy would be the people of germany. and the 2nd is it is completely unacceptable that ukraine has been sabotaged in minsk agreements are especially means to for a long time, we must now insist that ukraine and all science implement means to. and at the same time that the stein my, a formula is actually applied here is one thing is clear why we as european citizens, cannot allow ourselves to be held hostage by a government that continues to fatten their oligarchs life. and at the same time escalate. the situation at the expense of the population in ukraine, then i will r u. s. house speaker nancy pelosi has distanced herself from calls within her own party to div fung the police. of course, there was a rallying cry of the black lives matter movement. in recent years,

the california democrat insisted was never supported by the democrats. that is not the position of the democratic party. community safety to protect and defend in every way is our oath of office or policy will be running for reelection in the mid terms in november, hoping to extend her 30 year run in congress. polling suggests it's going to be a bit of a bumpy ride with support the democrats in free fall. the idea of slashing police funding is just one of many issues where prominent democrats have been at odds with a majority of voters. is what some of them have said in the past. when we say defined police, what we mean as 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 dead black and brown bodies and broken families at the hands of those torn 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 and serving the communities that paid a salary. defining the police became a rather popular slogan after the killing of george floyd at the hands of a policeman and may 2020. the height of the unrest more than 20 major u. s. cities including new york, chicago, and seattle all had a law enforcement budget slashed, but those costs with later reversed after a spike in violent crime, a new record rates of homicides. meanwhile, the latest us post, but supports the democrats at 42 percent or 47 percent back, the republicans. and let's say this state of play could be reflected in the upcoming mid terms with jo biden's party losing ground. but we discussed all these

issues now with dominic ego were tied police officer or she doesn't remember that the rhetoric against law enforcement the last several years has been completely, well, that's the worst i've ever seen it in, in, in my time and law enforcement. so i think that the democrats there, this backtracking, or in the mid term election year. and all the sudden you're going to need the, you need to have the balance between the police in the communities. so this is, it's 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 cops. so it's, it's, it's black and white and a story. i honestly think for all the attention we're giving the american police officer, we're not giving them a much enough attention to where it needs to be, which is how is this affecting them? no one is talking about that, and that's a big conversation that needs to be had. of course, russia has a bit of a reputation of being rather a chilly place. and indeed it's a host of the coldest town on earth. it's where locals daily lives take place in temperatures below minus 50 degrees celsius. it's cold on yak,

on an ot is cosentino rush, coff brave the extreme weather to film a special extended report for us. and here is the 1st of full pots. the other 3 will be shown over the next few days. i rise to journey to the coldest place at earth. starts in the coast, the capital of a vast russian region. h iberia called you quote. yeah, it's already pulled in here, according to the cities. thermometer is minus 34 degrees celsius or minus 29 fahrenheit for sending out for or not going our final destination tomorrow morning . so we have some time on our hands to explore the city of vehicles, which is by the way, the largest city on our planet built in permafrost. the city's population is over 330000 people. most of them live in buildings built on piley's quite common in this part of the world. the gap between the 1st floor in

the frozen ground helps the building stay worn during the cold winter months. first impression. everything here is covered either in the snow or ice. sidewalks is rose, car, building, trees, power lines. everything went into this cold. nothing works the way you're used to. when local police came over to check up on us, they wrote down our names with a pencil, a regular ballpoint pen would have simply frozen and become useless and these temperatures are equipment started acting up right as we left or how tell a camera battery that usually last for hours died in just 30 minutes. when we walk into a cafe to warm it up, i found my i phone had switched off and was covered and frost. this was a routine mistake on my part though. in yu coach and everyone knows how to look out for their smartphone. so it doesn't die in the extreme cold. i always put my phone

in my in a pocket, keep it wound, otherwise the battery quickly died in the cold and you end up with no connection. as we talked with this man, children behind us were happily playing for them. it was just the normal winter day and they definitely didn't want to waste it by sitting at home. yet most outsiders would find a local climate truly extreme in you could hear it's definitely cold in the winter, but it also gets incredibly hot in the summer months. it's like last summer was so hot, so scorching that original kid where the record breaking wild choirs and therapy when you see on the street or graving, the cold weather as they go bothering do business. they were suffering from sweltering heat and smoke less than 6 months. ago so farming is difficult in this climate. so hunting and fishing have always been the

main source of food for locals as can be seen at the local market. the low temperature is actually come in handy as the sellers don't need a special equipment to refrigerate. the food. what are you going to do with the whole fish? how will you prepare it? we're going to make pies, rose made a couple of them. we're going to eat the liver rock. are all wrong? yes. ra at the danger. no, it's been froze over. there are no germs left. these st vendors stay out on the cold. 12 hours a day. a temperature is as low is minus 40 degrees celsius about minus 40 fahrenheit. some of them stand on fur, ice made from reindeer hines to keep their feet off the frozen ground l i. p. sam a for a while, feel warm up a bit. to be honest, this was a relief as my feet had gone numb after a just a few hours outside. almost everyone i met on the streets. tell me my boots didn't

look warm enough for the weather. i see you were rubber boots. that's fine, but it's muggy. and so on you really need to pair with during the winter with the do you think these will last long that far and then a good for russia. local send me to another market where they usually buy their winter clothes. when i showed a shopkeeper my boots and told him, i'm going like these toy mack on. he literally did this and told me i was not. instead, he gave me a pair of failed boys and even bernie piece of the fur to prove it was in fake. why am i supposed to smell harriage to smell like hair or 3200 rubles? and i'll take the field. of course,

the type of footwear is less important if you can get around in a car, but looking after a vehicle in the winter months here presents a lot of challenges to leave your car exposed to the fridge of weather like this for is a great chance you won't be able to start in the morning, so what do you do about it? by garage? well, it is an option, but here a garage good cause almost as much as a small apartment. so locals came up with a brilliant idea of covering their eagles in war blankets or tents which help keep some of the engine heat inside a car blanket like this cost around $130.00 us dollars. and it's a hot item in this town during winter. the owner is usually right there are personal details like their license plate number on them to prevent them from being stolen. and other thing that is steve, quite often here on the streets that would appear bizarre for someone who lives in

a different climate car's running with our drivers. here you can see there is no driver, but the car is running. is the people here? they use remote starters to heat up their vehicles from the car sort of their own home. so what happens if you leave your car unprotected? don't warm it up at night. it will completely freeze it. and you won't be able to start it. not at all. no chance. it's impressive to see such a big and sustainable community living in one of the world's most unwelcome in settings. these people have adapted to the harsh climate so well, most of them wouldn't even consider living anywhere else. we know disappointments, we have noticed this challenge. in fact, it seems that the freezing period is getting shorter every year, and it's getting a bit warmer. but where we're going, it's even colder and then and you coast ah

ah, ah, with bring you the very latest every out the day this is all. no from everyone can help with . with

this is been bubbling business or you can't afford to miss. i'm racial blevins and i bred to bore in washington here is that we have coming up between russia and nato continued amount as german chancellor love shoals. as visiting ukraine's discuss diplomatic measures. this as an oil is quickly heading towards a $100.00 per barrel. mark straight ahead, we'll discuss the factors that are driving up the price and the united kingdom has seen as dp come, roaring back in 2021 strongest performance for the nation since the end of world war 2. we'll discuss all the latest data. we have a package here today, so let's get started. and we lead the program as tensions between nato allies and russia over ukraine, only continue to intensive by while the u. s. continues to claim it has evidence that a russian invasion of ukraine is imminent. moscow has called for talks aimed it avoiding mila.
