teenage russia figure skating style camilla valley updates, getting ready to take part in the olympic women. single skating competition later on this tuesday with good to have you with this is tuesday, the 15th of february. done calling bryan moscow with the wealth news this our, the big development were across, of course, the russian defense ministries announced that troops conducting drills along the border with ukraine and now starting to return to base after completing their exercises. the announcement comes of intense western speculation over a possible russian invasion of ukraine, including predictions of it happening either today or tomorrow. the southern units are the units of the southern and western military brit districts have already started loading their heavy care on to trains, which the ministry says will then be heading back to their garrison's separate units will return on the road. also on tuesday, the russian foreign minister made his feelings fairly clear about claims of a russian invasion when he was,
8:02 am
is the little area bye repulse is off the meeting. his polish counterpart yesterday declared, mr. laverne said that the would wouldn't be an invasion over ukraine. loosely recorded i think it has been said many times so radiant. i gave comments before i guess you're eternally sorry, not the bright so they dont understand everything from the for a site. okay. across developments and the different tangents to they thought the correspondence. danny armstrong and mariah gods they have done eat to you 1st. then tell us more on this major announcement by the russian defense minister a few hours ago. has a cause call in this is the news that russia will be sending his shoes back to his garrisons. of course, they've been pres, having military drills down in the southern, in the west than military districts and along the border with ukraine. of course, this flies in the face of their western media hysteria. those troops have been the
8:03 am
source of many a headline in the west, of course is imminent invasion that has been imminent and for a few months now. the fact that even news outlets were batting on a day and that this invasion would happen. president joe biden was even want to say that february, the 16th, which is of course, on wednesday, that would be the day of a russian invasion into creating something. of course, russia as always, deny the scenes that betting is suspended on that particular topic. for the foreseeable future, it comes as yesterday. defense minister say a show you held a meeting with russian president vladimir putin in which he presented results of those military drills. and on the basis of those results, the decision was made to send those in the shoot back to their garrisons. now that decision was made the official by the chief spokesman for the russian defense ministry eager kind of shanker, earlier today by me and sharing them out of the russian troops as always will return to their permanent basis. as soon as their combat training activities are
8:04 am
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 of course is the west, or was preventing this russian aggression and a threat of invasion, a sign of the escalation and a commitment to diplomacy as much as always said, he was committed to negotiations and a diplomatic route to solving this ukraine crisis, of course, that will go at this fact that these troops are sent home and sent from the russia . the bush on board with ukraine will go a long way to proving that. now this flies in the face of western median hysteria, some one who was also flying today was genuine german chancellor, olaf shalt say. he flew in by helicopter, in what was a sunny, sensual moscow. earlier today. hopefully, the mood will be a little bit brighter for his talks with vladimir putin today. the mood before he
8:05 am
came to moscow was one of hard serious talks. he said there will be hard talks of latter matthews and even harder sanctions if fair russia did. go ahead with this much talked about in the west, at least invasion. he was said to have come over in some news outlets to avert war . now of course, that will be their top of the agenda in these talks with flat may abuse. and of course, something else that will be on the agenda is that no cim to gas pipeline that runs from russia underneath ukraine all the way to germany and will keep you updated, of course, and all of that. but yes, this breaking news that so russian troops had been sent back to the garrisons from the southern and weston, and military districts. it does look like russia has shown as commitment to this de escalation, this situation with ukraine, and kyra down in red square. thanks very much for that to you. now, more i do. you been following that news conference by the russian foreign minister after those talks with his polish counterpart, had the child to feel the question as well or did so galeb rob have to say well,
8:06 am
of course, both of them said that the 1st of all this was a productive meeting which, which we didn't hear when that was where least trust the foreign secretary of great britain was here. that was a very tense meeting and very little productive or product productivity to it. in this case, our prime minister. so 4 minutes to love, rob said that yes they had agreed on the need to deescalate that. they had agreed and i. 1 met many ideas going into the future at things to make sure that europe is a safer place. but as a gay lover of also said that, you know, as a result of this, this is theory. he, by the way, i said that some nations had find this information that bordered on on terrorist life for its qualities for finding all this. all this fear and panic, perhaps referring to the united states in great britain, which would be that the forefront or of this will along with their media outlets.
8:07 am
nevertheless, what said elaborate said as the one positive result, consequence of all of this has been that nato has finally begun talking this week. i lose weatherly. so we're still nato calls on russia to improve security. when we make security proposals, all ideas turn down. now we get the responses from nato in the us, all ideas, including no placement of medium and short range missiles. they said it as if it was their own idea. now the current dialogue with us is played by biden's rules. at least that's what the us wants and he ends off to the us. so we want radical change in the sphere of european security. we saw the west responded positively finally, after many years of dismissal. for many years, a secular, prov says that the united states, nato ignored rocha's, security concerns that ignored russian proposals to do with that security. for example, a breach, it reached a level where russia said, look, let thought out,
8:08 am
how close nato and russian ship should oppose each other or jets. and even last a minus safety issue, nato refused to even start negotiations, or any sort of talks now that russian troops, but some of them have begun withdrawing from the field where they were conducting exercises back to their basis, where they're stationed permanently, as they had said, they would for many months now for the duration of this, this hysteria about a potential invasion. now say galeb rob said he wouldn't be surprised if bible try to claim the credit. yoga studios opposition. his cousin. i assure you, if the west hasn't yet stated it, they will definitely say that they pushed on russia by them said withdrawal. the troops and russians got scared and complied with their demands. it's a trading of air and a western colleagues are very good at that. this was up america, did you believe there was also a humorous moment when a polish journalist i asked sag elaborate at length whether whether russia plans to
8:09 am
invade, sag elaborate, explained again at length even apologized for how long he went on. and at the end of his onto the punisher. mister, get us. what are you going to invade? in which are off to which segue lover of displayed the somewhat wear show of exasperation. nevertheless, these talks were productive, and russia says that it wants at once change. it needs change and that finally that seeing a willingness in nato to negotiate a case and actively being the busiest a yes or the latest in their series of high level talks. okay. for now mark as death, danny armstrong and central moscow. thanks for that. a day escalation is not the way nato secretary general sees things right now. yen stoughton berg been holding a news conference on the upcoming meeting of the alliance is defense ministers. he claims russia is still ready to carry out an attack. so far,
8:10 am
we have not seen any sign of the escalation on the ground. russia has amassed a fighting force in there on the crane. everything is now in place for and you attacked south get across this side of things for side that ask i suppose it's only a few hours old. perhaps i just haven't planned to digest yet. still sounds as if the suspicion and cynicism haven't gone anywhere. well, absolutely. there was no invasion that was no storming of that was no aerial bombardment. fact those tens of thousands of russian troops who apparently aggressive st. pete because they were conducting drills on their own territory of being sent home. but still that gesture of goodwill by moscow isn't enough and it makes you think, my goodness, if nature doesn't consider that p escalation, what does it maybe it would just like russia to despond, despond, its anti ami stop. stone. bog is not the only one dissatisfied with images of russian troops loading up kid on trains and we've seen photos of those trunk tanks
8:11 am
rolling away. the ukrainian foreign minister has occurred, has was more over in the u. k. forest johnson says, no guys, we all still need to stick together because mosca still giving us some mixed signals. here it seems a rush you just called when it keeps troops at the borders and it's an aggressor. it starts withdrawing its troops, but it still could pounds at any minute. so if there was any hope that this apocalyptic winter, it's coming, rhetoric been floating all ways over the last couple of weeks would come to an end . perhaps we should have known fact. so let's just remind ourselves of the highlights. what can you tell us about reports that us intelligence believes russia is considering wednesday for an attack, we cannot perfectly predict the day. an invasion can 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
8:12 am
could move a little to no warning. well, it seems that the level of hysteria is still continuing. so i have to say, i would have thought that watching those russian troops had fact to base would actually put an end to all about. and it would make people feel slightly foolish. i'll try all the wild invasion predictions have failed to come. true. those papers were pacing that, that it was going to be today. that hasn't happened. russians were setting up blood banks that didn't happen. the white house warned that must go with school may block buster full flagstone. that didn't happen either. clearly the western intelligence, which on many occasions they refuse to show us, they just don't trust our trust us. it's going to happen. it hasn't proved not to be was the paper that it is written on us for moscow. this is a historic day of a failure of information will fall. 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,
8:13 am
is understandable. they invented this russian threat and gathered for her like fight all in order to loudly announced their victory. it really has been an absolute bombardment from all sides, from the political establishment to the mainstream media to when all to play the thing that was needed. the most was, of course, we always say this in part of sex. a who had a diplomatic dialog. height is everyone's enemy here. but that was definitely a sense and we were talking about this a lot that those who were engaged in there, they didn't even try to rain in that, that taste for drama. they became one with blood glossy, and they wanted to, to feed off of it. so you have to off what was it for? while one d, c for that school heavy weight might just have given us we were not threatening the, the sanctions and the rest. it was guarantee that. but in a while, i have always had that this was a win win for the west because so much of it is about image as it is and politics. i mean, look at by now he is probably going to be hailed as the person who stopped the will,
8:14 am
boots and the russian tyrant and his stops. and he became a true leader, american diplomacy, functions and all has proven itself to be one of glory. most importantly, it's a very, very different picture of what we were saying just 2 months ago. why biden's rating for free, full inflation was wreaking havoc, stella, by the way, but are conveniently forgotten. and of course, his reputation as commander in chief was seriously patented by the facts that the storm withdrawal was a total debacle. but those headlines you will not find them anywhere. they will be swept away and instead it's all going to be about bite in the savior. who along side his strong man nato allies managed to bring the wild back from the brink of war. never mind, of course, that that was never going to be a war to begin with. so far it's all about saving face rather than saving the situation from europe. we're security, cause i will hope. springs eternal. okay, that's good taylor, thanks for that. last our loyal social interest member of germany's the left party
8:15 am
molten dolts told me he believes that rushes military drills coming to an end. so down to nato, to wrap up speculation about moscow's invasion plants. i think it's a very good step because i know this narrative with which anyway was told. so is this gone, this debt? i mean, it was clear that russia didn't want to wait natal states and the government now take the hand. there could be a very positive dynamic and the people will come. but they have to take their hand if they don't take the hand to start to beat with whatever was propaganda with sending more weapons to ukraine, all station and more troops, new to the russian border. that wouldn't work out that been that you found the 20 and to defend a $21.00 combat exercises of the nato, going to be east more. busy and more towards the russian border on the land side on
8:16 am
the side of the black sea. now russia conducted combat exercises, but there was no reason to do such a propaganda escalation that a wall it is close to come down to one another headline news. now in canadian prime minister, just introduced has triggered the emergency act for the 1st time in the country's history, claiming that a truck is protest that's now into its 3rd week, threatens the security of canadians. here in our capital city, families and small businesses have been enduring, illegal obstruction of their neighborhoods, occupying st. 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. the help to meet by design because the act,
8:17 am
once it's activated, allows government to bypass democratic procedures act supposed to be applied only in case of a national crisis. and it gives the government additional powers for 30 days, including the ability to close bank accounts and remove vehicles. or critics say the so called freedom convoy, protest against vaccine mandates, doesn't amount to a threat to national security. the premieres 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 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. meanwhile, in the canadian capital, also, what supporters of the truck has remained cam tabs on parliament hill with something of a festival atmosphere. their loud music being played. we spoke with a freedom convoy on terry. i woke and i said about the newly triggered government
8:18 am
powers. he told us the prime minister should result to dialogue, not force. i think he's a coward or not. ok. let's be honest here. real leaders will come out and talk to the people will come in and find resolving 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 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 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 the government to actually come out and talk to us and hear what we have to say,
8:19 am
rather than continuously try to weigh tockets on people. things have now reached a point where showing support for the freedom convoy could cost you your job. vancouver radio station has fired host could carson off the he said the movement wasn't racist. it's also taken down his page from that website. now the station says it respects his freedom of speech, but objects to him calling facts, what it sees is misleading and inaccurate opinions. a caution himself says the station wasn't letting him do his job properly. my 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 happening in ottawa, a combo support. pastor henry hildebrand says that the more repressed at the government is the more people will support the truckers. 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
8:20 am
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 it 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 off for what they should be stung. upper which is our god given for you. we can keep up any more, we don't noise at closing is of the, our closing is opening up. right now is room. we were removing this by keeping doubt. he said he's keeping the mass. he said people cannot go to sports halls so which one is that we can't keep try after a week of intense pressure over a failed drug test, russian figure skating prodigy committee valley eva will take part in the olympic women's single competition. later on this tuesday, she was played to compete by the court of arbitration for sport on monday. i'll come, responded alexia 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.
8:21 am
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, he's not just escaped, that 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 figures. status 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 i o c statement, they said that they can not hold
8:22 am
a metal ceremony. not even for the team figure skating event, which happened to 10 days ago where believer was a part of the program. now, this is quite a, you know, a divisive different decision have many have said already that it's controversial and to add even more fuel to the fire 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, 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 camilo. believe she liked his case. i wish for you to remain calm and he, she turned his attention, your knees. it's very difficult here and a lot of passion, yet as a great athletes will overcome all these and perform wonderfully like we believe in him. somewhat of had a saw everything resign, you'll get through this. don't worry. i want to wish you good luck and say that
8:23 am
like very much a proud of hasn't sites in hip she teams are guaranteed money, which is a new piece of land. very worried about half from the birth of my hi, irish, her success regardless of how the competition goes, he and mange in beijing for 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 whether 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 ruth saw the claims that they did send the probe to the stockholm laboratory, accredited by water on time a result of believe that there was absolutely no obstacle whatsoever for that
8:24 am
laboratory to produce the positive test before the olympics. and of course, that would have disqualified camila leave 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 a fair to say the rush has got a bit of a reputation for being a chilly place. and indeed, it's house to the coldest town on earth, where locals daily lives take place in temperatures below minus 50 degrees celsius . it called on me con and our teens, constantine roscoe, brain. the extreme by the force is the 1st of 4 reports we're bringing from in this week. ah, arise, he journey to the coldest place on earth starts and he goes to the capital of
8:25 am
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 on our final destination tomorrow morning. so we have some time on our hands to explore the city of mucus, 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. this road hard buildings, trees, power lines. everything. when it's this cold,
8:26 am
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 ball point pen would have simply frozen and become useless and these temperatures are equipment started acting up, right. as we left our hotel, 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 coachman 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 warm. 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
8:27 am
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 the last summer was so hot, so scorching that the original is here where the brokers breaking wildfires fan very good when you see on the street or graving, the cold weather as they go by the day of 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 ross made and coupled with. we're going to eat,
8:28 am
deliver ra wrong. yes, ross at the danger. no, it's been frozen, but there are no germs left. none of these treat 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 i made from brain dear highs to keep their feet off the frozen ground for life. he's an a for a while for us to 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's fine, but it's muggy and so on. really need to pair with during the winter . with the do you think these will last long that foreign booth and then
8:29 am
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 even bernie piece of the fur to prove it was in fake. why am i supposed to smell harriage to smell like hair? i 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 and 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 good cause almost as much as
8:30 am
a small apartment. so locals came up with a brilliant idea of covering the recalls in war, blankets, or tans 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 he, 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 comfort of their own house. hopefully.
