a friday. that's the last time i buy it from the future. so franco watch kaiser report. ah, russia says it has no intention of inviting you. frank, a written security response to the united states, also urging nato to products military advisors out of ukraine and joint military drills. the west continues to high thought the prospect of the water with some predicting a rush of innovation on the 28th of february. after previous dates failed to materialize, moscow says that's all for sure. as to whether the escalation will end on february, the 20th, i don't know because we are not the ones who are escalating. we're not doing this. the canadian prime minister is branded a, dictated by opposition lawmakers as hearing about the use of emergency powers against protesting truckers. let's remind the prime minister this is

a blog from oscar. thanks for joining us tonight and i show on daniel hawkins worthy . well, this our welcome to the program. now russia has published its response to the united states and an ongoing back and forth on security guarantees. moscow says it's not going to invade you crime despite all rumors coming from the west. and it wants nato to end its military involvement. that is donald call to run us through the document. finally, we've seen russia's response to the u. s. as rejection of the proposals for security guarantees that moscow put forward back in mid december, the, the russian foreign ministry is basically giving the west and ultimatum at this point if it wants to de escalate without excluding ukraine from nato. it has to

stop shipping weapons to the country poets, military advisors from eastern and southern europe, and put an end to military exercises near russia's border. the foreign ministry document did also say, though, that washington has shown willingness to work on arms controls and risk reduction measures. us even recognized the justification for several russian initiatives in that sphere over the past several years. and of course, one of the main points of the foreign ministries document, though it's something that moscow has reiterated for months. now, russia has no plans to invade ukraine. there is no russian invasion of ukraine, which the united states and its allies have been declaring at the official level since on last year. and there are no such plans. so statements about the responsibility of russia for the escalation cannot be regarded as anything other than an attempt to exert pressure, and the value rushes proposals for security guarantees. it's important to note though, that russia issued its proposal for security guarantees as a package deal. moscow, of course, is ready to discuss the details of what it proposed,

but when it comes to what measures need to be actually taken for regional security, it's all or nothing to de escalate the situation around ukraine. it's fundamentally important to take the following steps to force key of to comply with the complex of measures to stop the supply of weapons to ukraine, to withdraw western advisors and instructors from there to refrain from many join nato exercises with the armed forces of ukraine. and to withdraw foreign weapons previously delivered to key from outside ukraine territory. now the russian foreign ministry also wants to bring attention to the anxiety being caused by the growing military activity of the u. s. and nato near russia's borders. the document says that rushes red lines, its core interests when it comes to security, and the countries to defend itself have all been ignored by washington. and that now moscow may be faced to take measures of a quote, military character. it's definitely a scary possibility to consider and with the u. s. promising to respond to moscow's expulsion of its deputy ambassador to russia. we're going to soon see if diplomacy

really is able to fix the situation. russia has expelled the deputy us ambassador to moscow and made the crisis over ukraine. a washington said it will retaliate earlier. russia's foreign minister marks american media predictions of when russia couldn't by ukraine. some journalist and i was saying, it's going to happen later this week when the big ends, after yesterday's bet, failed to materialize. less shook the rules as to whether the escalation will end on february. the 20th. i don't know because we are not the ones who are escalating, we're not doing this political, a well known news out let reporting about what is happening on the russian ukrainian border. citing some supposedly reliable sources said that what did not take place yesterday will begin on february. the 20th. there will be an invasion. talk about changing goal post. february 1st came and went no invasion. so what did the western political establishment and mainstream media do on thursday, the 17th apologize and say, our intelligence wasn't worth the paper,

it was written on? no, of course not. instead, they started back paddling. if something doesn't come to pass, it doesn't necessarily mean that what we've been warning of is wrong. i don't think you've heard us from any podium. i point to a specific day of an invasion. i think we'll, you've heard from us sometime from some time now is to make the point that what the russian federation has put in place or the capabilities that would need to order an attack at any time. net price has learned his lesson because this time he was more cautious. and he said that i'm not going to put a specific date on it. others, unfortunately, clearly want humiliated enough by all that false prophecies and did start placing new bats and when exactly it was going to be the 20th of february was suddenly plucked. now, one was farcical explanation given for why does this constant postponement of the other imminent russian invasion was that president putin was absolutely furious that every single time they have foiled his plans. so on principle,

he keeps changing it because he will not invade ukraine according to the west schedule. on tuesday, the russian defense minister came out and said we are withdrawing a considerable chunk of those forces that were along the border near ukraine. and that is because they've wrapped up the drill, says that going back to that garrisons as was the plan all along. and in order to convince people that that is exactly what was going on. they even published footage or pretty heavy duty weaponry loaded up on trains heading back to base, but apparently for the people who themselves failed to bride. any evidence of this impending russian invasion, this video footed black and white was not convincing. what we haven't seen is evidence of withdrawal that has been claimed by the kremlin. in fact, we've seen continued build off of like field hospitals. what we're seeing is no meaningful pullback. crisen foods put in place the capacity to act on very short notice. he can pull the trigger, he could pull it today, he could pull tomorrow,

we could pull it next week. the forces are there if he wants to renew aggression against ukraine. so russia keeps its troops at the border and it's seen as an aggressive starts withdrawing its troops from the border. and it's still an aggressive, it really just can't win. but that is not all. now even more outlandish, came to coming out from an unnamed senior official in d. c, which an edge that this withdrawal is in fact a huge bluff. and in fact, the kremlin is for to find it's for says to the tune of $7000.00 troops and even some brand new field hospitals. the media seems quite keen to go along with this winter is coming rhetoric, but there are a few skeptical voices out there for what the check president has made. quite an interesting observation that this wouldn't be the 1st time that us intelligence best proved to be totally useless and it was fabricated. the russians are not foolish enough to embark on an operation that will do them more harm than good. as for the u. s. secret services, this is their 3rd bluff. the 1st was with a rack. the 2nd was with afghanistan. well,

the 3rd is now we're starting to ukrainians not benefiting from this instability in recent days, the former us ambassador to germany, that's richard quin out. he came out and he made quite an interesting insight. he said, let's just bear in mind that he isn't inside to see he is someone who was so well acquainted with the ins and outs of dirty politics. and how, of course, the political and he thinks and walks now even he has accused washington of being, quote alarmist and stated that the wolf walk rhetoric coming from the white house at the moment is, again, isn't verifiable intelligence. so even in d. c, no one is buying at the intelligence clearly, isn't that? and so, yes, it is a complete into just my question. why the continue to hype, potentially the native chief might have given the game away. moscow asked, made it clear that it is prepared to contest the fundamental principles that have underpinned our security for decades. and to do so by using force.

i regret to say that this is the new normal in europe. a new normal that involves of course, new nato combat units and bolster defense is close to rush. it all turned out to be very convenient if we're being cynical, the ever imminent a fabled russian invasion provided the perfect excuse for the greater militarization of europe. and it also managed to silence all those people who are just a couple of months ago were asking, hasn't nato outlived its purpose. it managed to resurrect the military and lines, give it a new breath of life. and of course, now would exist to keep russia at bay. it almost is like a 2nd cold war. and so yes, so neat has been given the green light to expand. meanwhile, stateside what we've got is president biden. he's apparently looking to get over $770000000000.00 for 2020 three's defense budget, which by the way, something that no one talks about is 8 times what russia spends on defense. but

still to parent, you russia, that's the aggressor with the un security council is now holding a meeting on the crane crosses. specifically the minsk agreement is aimed at ending the conflict in the countries east and the u. s. has made her, has been making some strong allegations against russia. latino kayla more than has been following the meetings at united nations. h q in new york who joins us live. caleb, thanks for staying across the story. or what's been said so far and these discussions while the meeting of the 15 member body that leads the united nations opened at the un headquarters in manhattan. the focus of the meeting was supposed to be the men's agreement. however, when the us secretary of state took the floor, he immediately started continuing to make very big allegations against russia. now, his words were quite interesting. he said he wasn't there to start a war,

but rather to prevent one. he went ahead to accuse russia applauding to invade ukraine, some very colorful allegations that came out of antony, lincoln's mouth. let's take a listen to some of what he said. russia plans to manufacture a pretext for its attack. we don't know exactly the formal take. it could be a fabricated so called terrorist bombing inside russia. the invented discovery of a mass, great, a stage drawn strike against civilians or a fake even a real attack using chemical weapons. now the russian representative made a point of trying to get the meeting back to the scheduled topic, which was the minced agreement, which has not been implemented in many key areas. the russian representative pointed out of the government of ukraine has not fulfilled its obligations under the men's agreement. in many ways. in addition to that, russia made very clear they have no intention of invading ukraine. and this

rhetoric coming from the united states is a bit dangerous to the world. here's what we heard from the russian representative was similar attribute 7 years later. none of the provisions of the package of measures have been fully implemented by ukraine starting from the 1st point the ceasefire. because the root of the problem is the systematic unwillingness of kiev to engage in direct dialogue with the authorized representatives have done yes. can look and attempt to shift responsibility to russia, to make it a party, to the conflict or untenable and have no basis. now, the security council heard testimony about the conditions facing the people in eastern ukraine. how their right to political representation has been denied. and how the minced agreement, which is supposed to de escalate the conflict in ukraine, has not been implemented. now, at that point, we heard the united states then take to the floor and continue with these extreme unproven hypotheticals and allegations. while russia is made abundantly clear to

the world, they don't plan to invade ukraine. and these rhetoric, rhetorical allegations are only escalating tensions. russia has concerns about security guarantees that they've made clear where they are not threatening an invasion of ukraine. so the world watched a anthony blink and change the subject to the meeting and make some rather extreme claims about upcoming false flag attacks, etc. the man of the world saw that, but russia emphasize they have no intention of invading ukraine. however, they are concerned about conditions in the country in the future of the men's agreement, trying to thanks for that update. so we'll get back to you as any more information both come out of those talks in the united nations of the security council members always kellum open that. thanks for that up. no rush is. foreign ministry has issued a strongly worded rebuke for the white house press secretary office. you accused moscow lying a lot of trustees in ukraine. gen saki said rushes claims of mass killings by

ukrainian forces amounted to a fabricated pretext. for an invasion. on t correspondent, roman custody of has more on the story, james sock his so words. earlier in the day, there were stated as an undeniable facts and z a indeed they shocked many and not only here ins and ed skin and in la guns, but many in russia as well. this conflict had been going on for at least says well for nearly 8 years already, and we have all seen reports here about the killing of innocent civilians. we've seen reports about a mass grave, so no wonder the her words sensor shocked through the local community. now, jim sock you said that russia statements about the mass graves of civilians here in don boss may be disinformation that will be used by russia as an excuse of invasion, offer ukraine. now a jump. saki was answering to one of the reporters who asked her about the

initiation of bro, but ah, by russians into the discovery off a mass graves. i hear in the don boss, russian foreign ministry spokes. so woman marie, as a car of our while, she wondered whether her overseas colleague was simply misinformed or had a lack of information and she called on up soc you take a look at some real evidence. let's have a listen. dear jen, you may have made these statements out of ignorance. that is the only way i can explain you doubting the suffering of the people of don bass. never again speak with such arrogance about geo politics. when it comes to civilian casualties, they are an unhealed pain in the hearts of fathers and mothers in that in ask and lu ganske republics don't stoop so low. the earlier in february, the leader of the self proclaimed and his people's republic said in a statement that at least 130 mass graves had been discovered here and, and bass, the graves of those civilians who were killed by ukrainian aggression. well,

of this report i have been working here and on asked for at least 8 years as well. and so i can tell you that i have seen those kinds of mass graves i have seen with my own eyes, dead children and dead. the civilian said, torn apart by artillery bombardment. so certainly the words of fire gem, saki came as a ball really a shock. well, meanwhile, we are here in and ask, we've been working here for a few days already. and this thursday was the one of the loudest days on the a record in the last, in the recent years. because the artillery shelling had intensified along the front lines of both in logan's and in de nest. we already got reports that saw some buildings here in the near scanned in legans had been damaged and to were also getting on verified reports for now that one civilian born was wanted on the

outskirts in dennis can were waiting on a conference confirmation of that at the moment now as for other infrastructure damage, lugens gas company said that one of their pipelines had been destroyed by ukrainian shilling earlier in the day also. oh, i see are also the one is her mission here in don boss are also recording the fact that the fighting on the front lines had intensified and high caliber artillery is being used. the representative alpha peoples militia here in the self proclaimed an esc people's republics. or is a saying of that? ukraine are using those high caliber weapons and they're preparing for a major offensive to retake the republics. and also of course, were monetary, local, social media as well. and the local people who are striving for peace, they want nothing but peace. but they're really afraid of provocations and looking

very closely at a potential of fake reports and provocations are, of course, we are here. also monitoring all this is the entire situation and bring you the facts as soon as we get them opposition, lawmakers in canada, broader the prime minister, a dictator. furious at justin trudeau for triggering emergency powers to deal with truck is resisting a tow with vaccine mandate to my the prime minister. this is canada. this is not a gasoline on embers. things are d escalating as we speak. so why is the prime minister using this hammer on canadians? isn't it true? he's doing it just to save his own political skin. the threshold was met for the emergencies, and now across the country. the leases of jurisdiction have the tools necessary to

keep people say, he has politicized this pandemic and divided canadians at a time when we should be working together. when we should be supporting one another . his lack of leadership has divided stigmatized and traumatized canadians. yes, there have been people who've been harassing and intimidating frontline worker. yes . there are people involved in frontline, illegal blockades. but the vast majority of canadians continue to stand alongside each other and supported each other. 2 thirds of canadians are united because they want an end to mandates and walk downs and their graces massage, a fringe, who take up space and he said, shouldn't be tolerated. isn't this really about the prime minister? taking a sledge hammer to canadian, said he thinks are unacceptable. the kneeling action emergencies act that i was the canadian government to ban the routers and fries poker says bank accounts for up to 30 days. he says, owing to only be invoked if there's a national crisis,

not against peaceful demonstrators of freedom convoy has mostly been just that though the prime minister justin trudeau, his government insist that disrupting the economy. canadian police have started handing out leaflets to protest, as in ottawa, ordering them to disperse. the notions says that anyone obstructing the streets is committing a criminal offense and could be arrested and shows. no trudeau has accused protectors or threats, violence and hatred, as well as waving racist flags the media's large, they got along with that line with a few exceptions. one of them is kid carson, a radio host in vancouver, who's quit his job offer, expressing support for the truck has, he thinks the racism claims are a fabrication aimed at dividing the movement. for the 1st time, canadian people are afraid to speak the truth because we will be labeled as some one who supports hate. i'm so if you attend a peaceful protest with thousands of people, you go home, you watch the news, and then you see there were hundreds of protesters harassing people and spread day

spreading, racist hateful messages. this is very strange divide. it's happened between us. what relationships are being destroy between co workers and family members and, and friendships. so i think most people have felt like the government went too far a very long time ago. and i think that this is actually helping to wake people up to some of the corruption and quite frankly, the craziness that's happening right now. that the idea that our bank accounts could be frozen with such a crazy overreach of government power. i think it's working in the opposite way that adjusting trudeau hopes and it's not. i'm going to have us back down. it's actually waking us up to fight even harder. rushes arossi team was one gold in the women's figure, skating competition of aging winter olympics ana should buy cove, a wild, the judges with a flawless performance and the frisco. the events, though,

been overshadowed by doping, scan involving another rushes stop performance, camila oliva, auntie. the lexia of shasky has more. everything happening on ice today in by james resemble some sort of hollywood movie, probably is going to become a hollywood movie at some point. now, because it went completely unexpected for all of us, that 1st of all, alexander through sla ginger had russian fig escapes i came on, i said absolutely demolished. it become becoming the 1st ever woman on, on the ice figure skater to perform 5 quads in one performance. that is absolutely astonishing. results then she was followed by i'm not sure to back over who was only 2nd after the 1st round of the performance here in beijing. and she had an absolutely faultless performance. and this was rounded up by camille about even under so much russia. and she did indeed crumble under all that pressure

. her performance was arguably the worst in the last 3 or 4 years, which led her to eventually becoming 4th not making the better. still last week i me leave a found herself in the middle of a doping scandal with allegations that she may have taken try meant as a dean, a substance which is prohibited by the world anti doping agency that happened allegedly on the 25th of december, the prob, with a positive result, came back only on february 8th during the olympics when the gym stating of an already took place. and obviously this will cause a serious investigation after that. but let's not forget, camille on eva is a minor. she is 15 years of age, so under what is own code, she is rendered as a protected bus. and so that basically, in an ideal world, should have been the case where no details of the case should have been revealed, but that never stop to some mainstream media outlets and even effect chills in the u. s. pointing finger at why do you buy? and many journalists were even claiming that she should not be able to compete,

but the court of arbitration for sport decided otherwise. now it let camila eva perform later i o. c said it would not hold a metal ceremony if one even made the podium which did not happen tonight. but everything happening in the media in regards to a lever, on, especially on the us side, has been nothing less than a witch front. even saying that the entire r o c team or russia team should be disqualified from the next 2 olympics. that is, despite nothing has been proven yet, especially when the sample be, will be opened. there's also been a lots of questions about as to why the probe took so long. it was taken on december 25th, but the positive result came back on the february 8. that's been also adding fuel to the fire, but it has been clear for some time that this case will drag on after the olympics and still the metal for steam russia, the team goal that it was almost 2 weeks ago. it's still in the balance. there's

been no metal ceremony and of course the fate of that metal relies solely on the investigation of camille, when he was daubing allegations. we heard from sociologist on a form was forced lecturer and his cash form. they gave us his ease on believe his performance and the huge strain she's been on the well, it surprised everyone that she's been so perfect up to now and of course it was so uncharacteristic one has to draw the conclusion that the anxiety she must have experienced over the past few days has affected her. she's frankly, in the middle of a nightmare. the word protect has been used quite a lot of the last several days. and in the context of valley, eva, because she's so young, she needs to be protected. and she'd been afforded any protection whatsoever. i think she's been quite mercilessly exposed and the media faced it down. they

haven't necessarily been unkind, but i'm not so sure of her age wants any major attention before a major competition and it isn't over yet. she now has to confront the uncomfortable prospect that she will be investigated for a doping violation. so she will place an unpleasant period of time now to compound her misery, of having failed to get a metal. as the headline for this out here, not international state soon for the annex salmon show. coming away in a few moments time. the team and i are back off now with the latest. once again that ah, with

bring you the latest every out the day this with ah ah, with ah well come to the alec salmon. sure. when we return to yuki politics, to examine the list of twists and turns in northern ireland, as

a province has it nor 1st minister and nor executive, but storm. it continues to sit as a zombie assembly pending the upcoming elections in me. paul, given his own, does the democratic unionist 1st minister earlier this month in protest over the post breaks at administrative board in the irish c. however, amid maintained crisis in deigning suit the economy and in europe, the 1st ministers, dramatic gesture passed by all but unnoticed. and yet the potential consequences of a brick don't in the northern ireland protocol, not just for northern ireland, but for bricks it breton, extraordinary. one worst case scenario, it could lead to the disintegration of institutions established by the peace the course of 20 years ago. unseen, britain plunged into an ordeal breaks it on to day. we speak to democratic genius and pete general shannon to find out why the largest part in northern ireland has musical walking, the put to call a red line,

and then to form an s t l p leader allison into all knowing when the prospects of restored political stability in the province bed 1st to your 2 emails and messages in response to our show on the prospect's overcome. come back. george hannon says i went i with bill clinton's campaign, legal advisor. she didn't have a good word to see about american politicians under file pitch. arkell society, crypted written says, trump, for me, he really got deep control of affairs. i'm boarded actions when needed. robert peachey says the democrat should have had bernie sanders instead. i hope he campaigns. this came around to keith, alexander dickson says, joe biden has within a year, qualified himself as a worse person in history. that is some achievement. and finally, grant smith, where they're message for us, o says biden, will lose for the same reason. labor will lose. they forgotten where they come from . night. jim shannon,

the d. p. member of parliament for stanford is one of the most active and peace in the house of commons. his party leader, jeffrey donaldson. m. p, is likely to stand for the assembly. but well, that's proven what getter do. likewise, he is in conversation with alex dumb shannon and people strength and welcome back to the alley. southern show a great place to be by don't mention was master. we charge for the way, but we'll catch up again. just know, well indeed, to explain to us we poll, given the nice 1st minister resilience and protest about the noise protocol. but the assembly, the parliament installment, keeps on working and how to start or what kind could that catch on at westminster assembly with no government. i think we ought to look at a process where we are alex and i think what we are, where we are because of government reluctant or difficult data to.
