teenage russian figure skating style camilla valley ave updates, getting ready to take part in the olympic women. single skating competition later. this chief thing with good to have you with us live on world wide. this is our t international on called in bry 1st, then there's breaking developments in the past few hours. russia's defense ministries announced the troops conducting drills along the border with ukraine, and now starting to return to base after completing their exercises. it includes units of the southern and western military districts. they have started loading that heavy kit on to trains, which the ministry says will be heading to their garrisons in the coming hours. separate units will return on their own. now this announcement comes amid that intense western speculation over a possible russian invasion of ukraine, including predictions of it's supposedly happening either today or tomorrow. here's the russian defense ministry making the announcement a little earlier. my name or the russian troops as always,

will return to their permanent bases as soon as their combat training activities are completed. the units of the southern and western military districts, which have now completed their tasks, have already begun loading equipment on to trains. these will move to their garrison's today, individual units will return on their own. while ask alive to out is danny armstrong across his force. hi danay. the west of course, have been creating such a panic over a supposed eminent russian invasion to view crime. what we're saying now though, doesn't seem to match some of that mainstream narrative does it? yes, of course, as you say, calling at great western media misnomer of an eminent invasion that has been eminent for some months now. she had just there, the spokesman for the russian defense minister eager can a shank of a saying that the russian troops along the border with ukraine and on the southern and western military district will be being sent home our sent to their garrisons.

after wrapping up military drills in those areas. now, of course, those troops have been a source of many, a hysterical headliner in the western press. if you would believe any of the outlet said that had been betting on her an invasion, it would come around rabbits today. or tomorrow or sometime in the future does now mean with those troops going back to the garrisons that all bets are off now it comes after sergei show good. the defense minister there had a meeting with vladimir putin yesterday. he presented the results of those military jills to vladimir putin. and on the basis of those results, the decision was made to send those troops back to their bases. now, it has, of course, been claimed by russia of russia's maintained that it is their sovereign right to move troops around is tear it. she, whether it be on the board with ukraine, whether it be anywhere else in russia, but that wasn't good enough. of course, for western media, who decided to at high pope a situation and said that several,

she was planning an imminent invasion. now, also in a meeting yesterday with vladimir putin, with sig oliver, of the foreign minister who presented vladimir putin with a 10 page draft response to responses from nate. so and the u. s. is the general consensus that was, that said moscow wasn't very happy with the u. s. a. nato responses to security demands f for moscow. laughter of said that there is room for negotiation, but he doesn't want endless talks over things that need action there. but the bottom line was that what he received from chief of nato, gen stalsen big, it was not a straight answer to some of those security demands. blue, we warn against endless conversations about issues that need to be addressed today . i received unsatisfactory answers. none of my fellow ministers responded to my direct message. we received 2 small pieces of paper,

one from nato secretary general stoughton burg, another from joseph barrell. they say, don't worry, we need to continue the dialogue. the main thing is to ensure de escalation around ukraine. i just think that this is a neglect of the norm, which was enshrined at the highest level and according to which no organization can consider itself the main one. so therefore, we will continue to seek a concrete response from each country. now as was expected in the west, they, russian aggression or a threat of invasion. it has actually come that the russian side has made a step towards said diplomacy, as it always said, it was pushing a line for diplomacy and the escalation. now that has come in the form of sending those troops, so from the ukrainian border from the southern and western military districts, back to their base is it comes as something of a good will are offering a good the sign of good will from vladimir putin not just moving over to the us, sir, president biden was once a bang, the drum as that imminent invasion. he gave

a specific date, went as far as to say that wednesday, february, the 16th would be the day of an invasion. the kremlin has responded to that to meet you. pasco, of a said today that says, this is an unprecedented campaign by the west, to ratchet up tensions in europe. he said it would be better to have sincere discussions about strategies for security. and that is exactly what vladimir putin wants to to her. the whole world is thrown into disarray because of this. this is nothing but an absolute unprecedented information campaign to provoke escalation and tension in europe. throwing words like that around accusing someone of attacking someone announcing and evacuation of diplomats announcing that they will destroy equipment in embassies and cut wires and so on. this is some kind of ostentatious hysteria, which naturally is not based on anything. surely if this hysteria had been replaced

by real desire to discuss each other's concerns than the atmosphere in europe, would have been completely different. and this is exactly what president putin is proposing an wallace post. of course this announcement flies in the face of western his theory about this eminent invasion as some one else flying today is the german chancellor olive shall see. i flew in by helicopter, as we saw a few minutes ago into the kremlin, ready for talked with vladimir putin here in a sunny essential must go on across his announcement will make the mood hopefully a little bit bright sir. at the mood before l. a shall say, came to moscow, was one of serious talks. he said there will be hard talks with vladimir putin and even harder sanctions. should russia push ahead with an invasion into ukraine, he was sent here to avert war. assume a western news outlets puts it. he had a meeting with ukrainian president, flattered me, zalinski on monday in which he said he would support ukraine if there was that all

that much talks about invasion from russia. a said he would give hard sanctions against that russia to but he also, in those talks with let him validate zalinski, played down ukraine's potential membership in san nato. he said, that's been blown out of proportion by the russian side. it's something that isn't even on the table. it's been made politically difficult, only by the kremlin. he also said he supports nato's answers to russia's security demands. that is a big day of talk to head because those tote, so just underway now. we will keep you updated with everything to do with those sources in german chancellor, ola schultz from vladimir putin as they happened here on our t. yeah, definitely get signaling a shift in what they're going to talk about in the kremlin behind you there. maybe they'll find some time to talk about our whopping great gas pipeline at still sitting idle, but i digress. all right, danny will let you get across the political and military movements reporting from

outside the cronan, nebraska. thanks, danny. ok, well if you been feeding on a diet of some of those alarmist headlines over the past few weeks and some of the tabloids actually not just some of the tabloids, some of the so called quality press have been in on this as well across this forest is artes saskia taylor? either they're gonna have to find some do you click back now, aren't they? while the wool that never was turns out that the west crystal ball that for thought this russian an invasion was nothing but a fake. there was no invasion. there was no storming of kia that was no aerial apartment. there was not a single shot fire. those tens of thousands of russian troops are returning home. i'm so the only crime being that they apparently held drills on russian territory, which isn't allowed if you're russian. so quite the anticlimax given the apocalyptic winter is coming. rhetoric that we have been flooded with the last couple of weeks. what can you tell us about reports that us intelligence believes russia is considering wednesday for an attack?

we cannot perfectly predict the day been invasion, could begin a major military action could begin by russia in ukraine any day now? well, it is still the case that an invasion could be imminent and it is highly likely, i would just tell you that it is entirely possible that he could move with little to no warning while the brit favorite, the highly likely the hysteria that we have witnessed from the west and political establishment on the mainstream media really has felt quite unprecedented. and one has to wander on. now looking at those troops, packing up that quit kit onto the trains and starting to move out he, they feel foolish. you know, those papers have been putting that when exactly, it's going to happen. who had drawn up invasion roots. the embassies that had told us williams to actuate ukrainian politician fled to that country when it needed them the most in the white house. i had warned that moscow was filming a giant block, foster full slack film, complete with fake corpses as well. the hysterical hysterical articles about rush

and setting up blood bags for washington, who of course, every single day and christmas has been promising singing off this imminent invasion. it seems that it found out that there are intelligence which they conveniently refused to share with anyone. clearly isn't worth the paper that it's written on. so i would say that column powder is probably quite proud of them, mostly starts me thinks that it is a historical moment, but this time goes by and still russia does not attack ukraine. the calculation by the united states which ordered this music and by the british who joined them, is understandable. they invented this russian threat and gathered for heroic fight all in order to loudly announced their victory. like i said, it feels like it's being stop through bombardment from all sides when arguably the thing that was needed. most of the cool had and diplomatic dialogue, not hype and threats. but there is a sense that those who are engage net always didn't try to rain in the drama. they were feeding off of it. it became almost a competition. who can create the most outlandish headline?

so you have to austin, what was it all for? what's very interesting is that potentially 11 of d. c. political headways has given us just the answer about if we were not threatening the the sanctions and the rest, it was guarantee that in a while non place you of course portraying bite and as the saved, you know, when, when discussing the ukraine crisis. previously, i always talked about how it is a win win for the west, especially for president biden needed a distraction call center. now, of course, look at it here. we have improved american prowess. he's shown that he's a lead capable of dealing with these crisis times. he stopped the evil putin in his tracks, a very different pick just even 2 months ago. you know, we've been talking about how it's ratings of being and for free for his kind of image as commander of chief off to the which were, which were from i found so obviously take

a huge hit on lets not even talk about how in stations and we can have that you just what you will see those headlines anymore. they will be replaced, like i said, by biden, the savior, who, along with his western allies, managed the russian question, bring the well back from the brink of war. never mind that. that was never going to be a war to begin with. yeah. tomorrow's headlines to various newspapers, all going to be about framing how it's dr. is what you don't going to see is, whoops, my bad. yeah. alright. that's going to be one to watch tomorrow. just get say, the thanks for much of some thoughts on this last hour. russia and list martin because he told us he believes that despite the media of finding the conflict, when i was seeing a significant the escalation in fact, the hysteria about russia attacking ukraine was really, it was really like a symphony, which is getting louder and louder and louder and neutral observers into the me, i wonder why this is going on because of the different match we're talking

to people who are going to moscow leaders are going to moscow talking to redeem a quote in. and when you have that, you don't have an image invasion. and all of shows is in most good today. and had russia intended to invade ukraine today. of course, that would have been cancelled that would have been sigma. now the fact is there means that the dialog continues. some units from the western and southern, i agree are retreating, are going back to the visions. you know, it's very good news and if you like, is it the escalation? it's a great, great, great relief to everyone in the west and european union and americans, one i think is also a great relief to natal because it was in a really different, very difficult position on her, on the headline news and canadian prime minister just in for doe has triggered the emergencies act for the 1st time in the country's history, claiming that had fuckers protested now into its 3rd week threatens the security of

the canadians. here in our capital city families, small businesses have an 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. hey, that said civil liberties groups say the criteria for triggering the ag haven't come anywhere near to being satisfied the how to be by design. because the act, once it's activated, allow the government to bypass democratic procedures or the acts only supposed to be applied in the case of a national crisis. and it gives the government additional powers of the 30 days, including the ability to close bank accounts and remove vehicles. critic say the so called freedom convoy, protest against vaccine mandates, doesn't amount to a threat to national security. we premier, as in some canadian province,

is saying that it want the emergency legislation implemented on that territories. it's necessary and alberta, we think it could actually be somewhat counterproductive. 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 more than the canadian capital to what supporters of the truck is for. bang cam to out on parliament hill. something of a festival atmosphere still that with loud music being played, we spoke with a freedom convoy, ontario organizer about the new, the ticket government powers. he told this the prime minister should result to dialogue, not force. i think he's a coward or 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 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 or keep attacking us with media lies. so for us, we're not moving. we're not going anywhere until our demands are met, regardless of what just intro says or tries to do. you don't want any kind of escalation of any, any sort. it's the government who continues to double down with an ira. just what i'd like to see though is that the government to actually come out and talk to us and hear what we have to say rather than continuously try to wear talkers on people of things have now reached a point where, shoving support for the freedom convoy could cost you good job, a, vancouver radio station has 5 house kid carson off the heats at the movement wasn't racist. it's also taken down his page on my site. now the station says it respects his freedom of speech, but objects to him calling facts, what it sees as misleading an act inaccurate opinions,

or cousin himself says the station wasn't letting him do his job properly. my house to radio show me 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, a convoy supporter, pastor henry hildebrand says that the more repressive the government is, the more people will support the truck. as the majority of canadians are on the side of the moving freedom movement. because at this point too low has 16 percent support in the polls, which we all know isn't a lot and it's gonna, it keeps on diminishing as he forcefully acts against his own citizens against the people that voted him in is it, i don't think much will change because the more the more he or 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't keep up any more. we don't know,

is it closing as of the, our closing is opening up right now is room where we're removing this, but keeping doubt, he said he's keeping the mask. he says people cannot go to the sports hall so which one is that we can keep? try after a week of intense pressure over a fail drugs test russian figure skating prodigy can lavelli eva will take part in the olympic women's single competition. later this tuesday, she was cleared to compete by the court of arbitration for sport on monday, i'll corresponded the lexia shasky reports next from the beijing games. believer 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. 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 savannah 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 shoot of a lever 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 as they said, that they can not hold a metal ceremony. not even for the team figure skating event, which happened to 10 days ago where believe a was a part of the program. now, 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 they had of i. ulysses 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, well 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 camila oliva. she liked his case. i wish for you to remain calm and he, she turned his attention. you any. it's very difficult here and a lot of passion yet as the great athletes will overcome all these and perform wonderfully. we believe in museum. somebody have had a saw everything be fine, yoga service. don't worry. i want to wish you luck and say that like very much a proud of hasn't fast hip she keeps again. see if one point is in your piece of land, very worried about half the from the bottom of my heart. i wish her success off regardless of how the competition goes. he and mange in beijing whole female skaters in 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 trying to find out where the she really did use the ban 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 ru saw the claims that they did send the probe to the stockholm. i'm laboratory accredited by water on time 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 camila lever 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 camila leave a performance to get some reactions as well. and of course,

i will keep our viewers updated with everything i hear and see, and making case fair to say that russia's got a bit of a reputation for being a chilly place. and indeed, the house to the coldest town on earth where locals daily lives take place in temperatures, sometimes below minus 50 degrees celsius. is called on become and artes constantine brush cove brave. the extreme weather to foam, especially extend report to us. he is the 1st to full parts. we'll show you the other 3 over the next few days. i rise he journey to the coldest place at earth, starts and he goes to the capital of a vast russian region. h iberia, called you quote, already pulled in here, according to the cities. thermometer is minus 34 degrees celsius or minus 29 fahrenheit for sitting 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 throws cars, building 3 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, 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 to 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 inter 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 sporting that the original is here where the record breaking wildfires fan. very

good when you see on the street or graving, the cold weather as they go by the radio 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 this with we're gonna eat. deliver off. shaw. yes. raw at the danger? no, it's been frozen, but there are no germs left on. these street vendors stay out on the cold. 12 hours a day, a temperature is as low as minus 40 degrees celsius about minus 40 fahrenheit. some of them stand on fur rights made from brain. deer hines,

they get their feet off the frozen ground fill. i p san a for a while, feel warm up a bit. to be honest, this was a relief as my feet had gone numb after 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 is fine, but it's muddy and so on. really need a pair with during the winter with the do you think these will last long couple 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. he said he gave me a pair of veiled boards and had been bernie piece of the fur to prove it was in

fake. why am i supposed to smell harriage to smell a care 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 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 here, a garage because almost as much as a small apartment. the locals came up with a brilliant idea of covering their eagles in war blankets or tents which help keep some of the engine feet inside a car blanket like this cost around $130.00 us dollars. and it's

a hot item in this town during winter. the owners usually write their 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. you see people here, they use remote starters to heat up their vehicles from the comp of their own house . so that's what happens if you leave your car unprotected and 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, no chance. ah, it's impressive to see such a big in 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 his childhood. 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 could ask, ah ah, the democratic republic of congo is among the richest countries in the world and natural resources, but he cannot mclee, it's still one of the poorest cobalt is an essential material in manufacturing batteries far on devices like electric cars, mobile phones and computers. 60 percent of the welt, cobalt reserves are in congo. the 20 percent of it comes from.
