the news from oscar, thanks for joining us. all the international and i'm daniel hawkins. where was this? our welcome from the courts over arbitration for sport has released a document explaining its reasoning for the figure skater commendable able to compete when to lympics, spite of fail drunk, says back in december. the document blames diagnosing bodies for not processing test results in time, which in turn home, the athletes as well as other competitors. it also states the reason given by believe, as representatives for the presence of from it as it is in december. the blood sample label is a power in physical contact with a grandfather who was prescribed the medicine after a halt operation. and we discussed the issue with international law lucien bologna . it was very important in the decision itself. they did not want to harm
5:02 pm
these minor more than necessary. it was clear based on the fact that it was a very, very low concentration that just to 1st on which is very important to mention. and that makes it likely, and they were clearing that it makes it very likely that something that was not intentional happened. there are a lot of mistakes, but the i o. c, of course, made the biggest mistake of all of them because they the and let's say reschedule or or not scheduled the ceremony for team you went. and that was that rumors came out of the case. and then the 2nd day, they read the name. and what is also to be said is that the who should
5:03 pm
protect correct application of the code of the code. the try to support that these while the code was not correctly applied. and he's also a very bad behavioral law to not have at least even leave the code is not correctly applied earlier. the russian olympic committee team on going to women's figure skating competition at the base in winter olympics are called a while. the judges for the flawless performance in the free skate committee believe they failed to make the witness podium ortiz an actual assess. he had that he self. everything happening on ice today. in b jane's resemble some sort of hollywood movie, probably is going to become a hollywood movie at some point because it went completely unexpected for all of us that 1st of all, alexander through for a ginger, had russian figures case. i came on nice and absolutely demolished,
5:04 pm
had become becoming the 1st ever woman on, on the i 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 and 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 d i 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,
5:05 pm
came back only on february 8th during the olympics when the gym stating event already took place. and obviously this will cause a serious investigation after that. but let's not forget about 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 if it shows in the u . s, pointing finger at what do you buy in many journalists, or even claiming that she should not be able to compete, but the court of arbitration for support decided otherwise. now it let coming about able to perform late, the i o. c said that 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 which hasn't even been saying that the entire
5:06 pm
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 broke 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 gold that it one 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 doping allegations. we heard from british sociologists and former sports lecturer and his cash mall. he gave us his use on believe his performance and a huge strain she's been under. well, it surprised everyone. she's been so perfect up to now and of course it was so
5:07 pm
uncharacteristic one has to draw the conclusion that the anxiety that she must have experienced of the past few days has affected her. she's frankly, in the middle of a nightmare. the, the word protect has been used quite a lot of the last several days and in the context of valley ag, because she's so young, she needs to be protected, and she's been afforded any protection whatsoever. i think she's been quite mercilessly exposed. and the media faced id on her, they haven't necessarily been unkind, but i'm not so sure of her age once 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 face an unpleasant period of time to, to compound her misery, of having failed to get
5:08 pm
a metal. russia has probably since responds to the us in an ongoing back and forth on security guarantees. moscow says it's not going to invade ukraine to spot all the room was emanating from the west, and it was nato to end it's minute for involvement. that ortiz donald calls around 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, pull its military advisors from eastern and southern europe, and put an end to military exercises here. russia border, the foreign ministry, documents it 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
5:09 pm
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 is fundamentally important to take the following steps to force key of to comply with the complex of measures to stop the supply of weapons due 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
5:10 pm
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 face to take measures of 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 on thursday mosque and expound the deputy us a master to russia and response the russian different being forced out of washington. i made the crisis of ukraine earlier. russia. foreign minister marks american media predictions of when russia could invade some journalist, the saying is going to happen later this week when any big finish off the previous
5:11 pm
beth failed to materialize. less shook the rules as to whether the escalation ends on february, the january. i don't know you because we are not the one who risk late. we're not doing this with the police and a well known news report, a thing about what is happening on the russian ukrainian border. notice you citing somebody supposedly reliable sources and i said that did not begin on february. the 20th there will be an invasion. talk about changing goalpost february, the 5th came and went no invasion. so what did the western political establishment and mainstream need you to on thursday, the 17th, i apologize and say, our intelligence wasn't, was 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 what you've heard from us from some time now
5:12 pm
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. and that price has lot 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, committee was humiliated enough by all that full of prophecies and did start pacing new bets and what exactly it was going to be. the 20th of february was suddenly plucked. now, one was farcical explanation given for why this is constant postponement of the 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 schedule . on tuesday, the russian defense minister came out and said, we all withdrawing a considerable chunk of those forces that were along the border new ukraine. and that is because they've wrapped up the drills that's going back to the guard as
5:13 pm
well as the plan all along. and in order to convince people that that is exactly was going on. they even published footage, a pretty heavy duty weapon reloaded off on trains heading back to base, but apparently for the people who themselves failed bride. any evidence of this impending russian invasion, this video footage called white was not convincing. what we haven't seen is evidence of withdrawal has been claimed by the kremlin. in fact, we've seen continued build up of things like field hospital. what we're seeing is no meaningful pullback presentations 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 dog, 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 claims are coming out from an unnamed senior official in d. c, which alleged that this withdrawal is in fact a huge loss. and in fact,
5:14 pm
the kremlin is 4 to 5. it's 4 says to the tune of 7000 troops and even some brand new field hospital. the media seems quite keen to go along with this winter. it's coming rhetoric, but there are a few skeptical voices out there for one that 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 iraq. the 2nd was with ghana stand. well, the 3rd is now well, sucking the gradients and benefiting from this instability. in recent days, the former us ambassador to germany that richard cornell, he came out, he made quite an interesting insight. he said, let's just bear in mind that he isn't inside. he is someone who was so well acquainted with the ins and outs of dusty politics and how, of course,
5:15 pm
politically he thinks, and what not even he has accused washington of being, quote alarmist. i'm stated that the war rhetoric coming from the white house at the moment is, again, isn't verifiable intelligence? so even in p c, no one is buying it, the intelligence clearly isn't that. and so, guess it is a complete into just a question. why, the continued hype, potentially the nato chief, might have given the game away? moscow has made it clear that it is prepared to contest the fundamental principles that underpins 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 boasted defense is close to rush. it all turns out to be very convenient if we're being cynical. the epa imminent fabled russian invasion
5:16 pm
provided the perfect excuse of the greater militarization of europe. and it also managed to silence all those people who need just a couple of months ago. while all sting hasn't nato, our lives, its purpose, it managed to resurrect the military lines. give it a new breath of life, and of course now would exist to keep russia bay. it almost is like a 2nd cold war. so yes, so nice has been given the green light to expand. meanwhile, state side, what we've got is president bite, and he's apparently looking to get over $770000000000.00 to 2020 three's defense budget. which by the way, something that no one talks about is 8 times what russia buttons on defense. but still, it's a power washer. that's the aggressor. un security council just held a meeting on the ukraine crisis, specifically on the men's agreement, same that ending the conflict in the countries 8th. the u. s. kept up its claim, but impending russia innovation of the country. and he's kayla morgan was following
5:17 pm
the session. all 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. 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, 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 the mass, great. a stage drawn strike against civilians or a fake even a real attack using chemical weapons. nobody seeks any
5:18 pm
excuses for us by elections. we said we do not have an intention to do this. 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. the russian representative pointed out of the government of ukraine has not fulfilled its obligations under the men's agreement. in many ways. here's what we heard from the russian representative was jet, simulate the tribute 7 years later. none of the provisions of the package of measures have been fully implemented by ukraine starting from the 1st point to cease fire because the root of the problem is the systematic unwillingness of kiev to engage in direct dialogue with the authorized representative. don. yes, can lou can guns attempt to shift responsibility to russia to make it a party to the congress untenable and have no basis now the meeting opened with the security council hearing testimony about how the rights of ukrainians in the eastern regions have been violated. they are not represented in the political process. they talked about some of the violence that has gone on and political
5:19 pm
repression being carried out by the government in t as now at this meeting that was supposed to focus on the men's agreement, we had the united states, yet again laying out these unproven hypothetical allegations. about a possible russian invasion of ukraine, russian officials pointed out that these allegations are not leading to peace in the world. still to come to our australia, notice are strong over low pay and harsh pandemic working conditions. that story and more to the brain. ah i
5:20 pm
ah ah better bias arrival guide. stacy is like wold is stored safely at a federal reserve. you know there are you don't get a back pack it. oh heck, no. what is a recreation came when we get the read to 7 years. bill at this every year i've tried to report ah
5:21 pm
welcome back, opposition. lawmakers in canada, branded the prime minister, a dictator. the shears had just in trudeau for triggering emergency powers, the deal would truckers were this thing a cobra vaccine mandate. my, the prime minister, this is canada. this is not a dictator. 3 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 lease 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
5:22 pm
. 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 support each other. 2 thirds of canadians are united because they want an end to mandates and locked down. i said they're great. this massage is a fringe who quote, take up space and he said, shouldn't be tolerated. isn't this really about the prime minister taking a sledge hammer to canadians that he thinks are unacceptable? well, the natural emotions, he's acted out of the canadian government to ban the rallies and fries protest as bank accounts for up to 30 days. it's designed to only be invoked in times of a national crisis, not against peaceful protest as the freedom convoy has mostly been just that though trudeau and his government insists the demonstrators are disrupting the economy.
5:23 pm
canadian police have started handing out leaflets to purchase those in downtown altamont. ordering them to disperse on, stating anyone obstructing the streets is committing a criminal offense and could be arrested in charge for those accused voters, as of threats, violence and hatred, as was waving rugs, his flags, media is mostly follow that narrative with a few exceptions. one of them being kid, carson, a radio hosting, vancouver who's quit his job offer, expressing support for the truck has, he thinks the racism claims or 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 someone who supports hate. um, so if you attend a peaceful protest with thousands of people who go home, you watch the news. and then you see there were hundreds of protesters harassing people in springdale, spreading racist hateful messages. this is very strange divide. it's happened between us where relationships are being destroyed, between co workers and family members and, and friendships. so i think most people have felt like the government went too far
5:24 pm
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, be 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. thousands of nurses in australia inside of new south wales have got on strike. i've a pull working conditions and low wages. they claimed the health care system was ill prepared for the latest covered wave had the situation where there was 2 nurses on award where they should be one midwife where they should be many of nurses and midwives having overloaded,
5:25 pm
ward and seems like this. and during that same period, the premier, we seem like to be strong. l system has capacity system is coping the message from the nurses and midwives during the strike was very clear that they would not typing. and so it was that disconnect the premiums desire to show that the okay system was strong versus the reality view is that the government preparation for army chrome was far worse than any impact al strike will have had i saw him health care workers in the region have gone on strike in over a decade or demonstrated say more action will follow if the government fails to meet him on payroll and compensation. if sick the state premier has agreed to look into the matter, but no deal has been reached. well,
5:26 pm
the health care workers wanted 2.5 percent increase in pay a limit of full patients per nurse as well as the government, ensuring stauffer reimbursed for sick leave. michael white, so the nursing association says ways you do not correspond with the conditions that are being forced to work on the because of the state wages policy here they why do they have not kept pace with inflation and so many as dying to see they're working conditions not been reflected in the pilot iris. i think for many years the government has assumed that the workforce was adequate. and what we know is that the workforce numbers were not as good as i should've allowed the headlines for this hour because the report is up next. they soon for that. so from the team i myself. thanks and good night. as shown, thomas will be with you guys you through the nightly global news headlines in just
5:27 pm
about half an hour time. ah, ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? high selection for community. are you going the right way, or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the
5:28 pm
shallows. talking at cross purposes, this is at the heart of the west narrative, claiming russia plans to invade ukraine. from the russian perspective, ukraine is a symptom of a much larger issue. nato's relentless drive eastward. there is a solution, though. security for all 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 from modern devices, like electric cars, mobile phones, and computers. 60 percent of the wealth cobalt reserves are in congo 20 percent of it comes from small scale mines. units have figures confirm that in 2017. more than $40000.00 children worked in cobalt mining in the republic to earn
5:29 pm
a living and paying for schooling. next time you you as a fancy gadget like a smartphone camera or laptop and just remember that there's a chance it works. thanks to a child hard labor children like john michelle. henrietta . oh countless others like them. mm ah. i'm advertiser. this is the kaiser report. yeah. we're still zante bitcoin beach, in el salvador, digging the waves state max. if the audience out there is seeing us, that means that not only did i survive my very 1st surf lesson with chem better, who is the o g bitcoin beach surf instructor?
5:30 pm
i actually got up stood up my very 1st try on the surf board, but i think we survived thermonuclear war. otherwise, this is like an episode lost and like we're, we're in the after world and we're all watching kaiser for, even in the after life. oh yeah, i knew you succeeded to stand up your 1st try on the surfboard because i was right behind you on my surfboard. and when i looked ahead i saw student on your shirt a student's surf rosalyn. i'm not another student surfer, all my gosh, i'm stuck behind the students are for now what? well, no, wait a minute. did you say we survive thermo nuclear war? yes, yes. you know, the, the people of the few world have been apparently trying to start a, some sort of war because they can't taper their ponzi scheme for they need a war because otherwise they lose face. right? because they've been saying that they're going to taper the ponzio, they're going to be able to raise interest rates. they're going to be able to end q we, they're going to be able to. and the hyper printing that is causing the wealth and income gap in the can tell you in our class. so they claim that they're going to be
5:31 pm
able to stop that. and they've said that since the days of bernanke a when he said remember, he said,
