a, a court of arbitration for sports, publishing a document blaming anti doping bodies for the chaos surrounding the delay and delivering the results of the camilla value of december drug test. while also confirming a prohibited substance he tested positive for could have entered her body through her grandfather's medicine. build up symbolizes on law, will operate on lawful order. they cannot act on that. they are acting lawfully. the leader of the ottawa freedom convoys cup and taken away hours after the term chief of police says a crackdown on unlawful protests is imminent. meanwhile, the canadian prime minister is rented a dictator. my opposition lawmakers as fury mount over the youth of emergency powers against protecting truckers. let's remind that prime minister this is canada

. this is not a dictator. it's really the plan is taking a sledgehammer to canadians and he thinks are unacceptable. with russia says it has no intention of invading ukraine in a written security response to the u. s. while also urging nato to pull its military visors out of the country and ended joint military drills. meanwhile, diplomatic clash at the un with moscow urging whoa powers to stop shifting blame for ukraine's internal conflict into russia with kathy live director studios in moscow. this is our international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now the court of arbitration for sports has published a document explaining its reasons for allowing figure skater camilla valera to compete at the winter olympics despite the drug test backed in december. the

document blames anti doping bodies for not processing test results in time. which in turn harmed the athlete as well as other competitors. it also states the reason, given by, by leave of representatives for the presence of tri met. as a dean in december of blood, sample fi lever was apparently in physical contact with her grandfather who has prescribed the medicine after a hard operation. and we've discussed the issue with inter national lawyer lucian valo. me. it was very important. the decision itself, they did not want to harm these minor more than necessary. it was clear, based on the fact that it was very, very low concentration that just differs on which is very cool to mention. and that makes heat likely. and they, they were clearing that he makes, make is very likely that something that was not the intentional

happens, a lot of mistakes, but the i o c of course meets the biggest mistake of all of them. because they they say reschedule or run on schedule. so when he for t me went and that was that rumors came out of the case and then the 2nd stage, they re read the name. and what is also to be said these that lot of who should protect correct application of the code of the water code did try to support that these while the code was not correctly applied and disease also have very bad behavioral law got to not have actually even leave the code is not correctly applied. earlier,

the russian olympic committee team won gold in the women's figure skating competition at the beijing winter olympics on a shabby cova. wiling the judges with a flawless performance in the free skate. while camilla, belinda failed to make the winner's podium or cheese alexia shasky has details. everything happening on ice today in a james resembles 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 to so ginger had russian figures case i came on, i said absolutely demolished. it 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 out by camila,

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 pedestal 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 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 body, but in many journalists where even claiming that she should not be able to compete, but the court of arbitration for sport decided otherwise. now it let anybody of, of perform later the i o. c said that would not hold a metal ceremony if money were made the podium which did not happen the night. but everything happening in the media in regards to camille of eva 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 b 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 only 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 diem 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. while he was daubing allegations. tensions rise among protesters demonstrating against vaccine mandates and downtown ottawa as ours . after canada's interim chief of police says a crackdown on unlawful protests is imminent. chris barber, the leader of the freedom convoy, protest is coughed to and taken away here, you can see the moment officers arrest him while around the protest zone. other sporadic arrests were taking place earlier. the interim ottawa police chief insisted protesters were not peaceful. we've been bolstering our resources, developing clear plans, and preparing to take action. the action is in imminent. in the past few days,

we were communicating directly with the unlawful protesters. we've told them they must leave, and we have warned them the consequences of disobeying these rules. we saw for 4 boxes are load all the, all the blue. we saw 6 boxes. why not get ready? over a $150.00 plus lead guard prisoners transport wagon. there's fixed up and getting ready to load guys up, build up symbolizes unlawful operate and unlawful order. because this is not an emergency actor. you know, there's not a place to do more levels of parliament. they cannot act on that. they are acting lawfully, and they're acting under a lawful order. the newly enacted emergencies act allows the canadian government to ban the rallies and fries. protesters bank accounts for up to 30 days. it's designed to only be invoked in the time of a national crisis, but not against peaceful demonstrations. opposition lawmakers in canada have

branded the prime minister a dictator. they are furious at justin trudeau for triggering emergency powers to deal with truckers resisting coven vaccine mandates 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, releases of jurisdiction have the tools necessary to keep people say, he has politicize his hand, demick 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 work. yes.

there are people involved in frontline legal blockades. but the vast majority of canadians continue to stand alongside each other and supported other 2 thirds of canadians are united because they want an end to mandates and walk down. this pi minister said they're racist massage initially, 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 canadian said he thinks are unacceptable. trudeau has accused protesters of threats, violence and hatred. and waving racist flags and the media has mostly followed the official line with a few exceptions. one of them being kid, carson, a radio host and vancouver, who's quit his job after expressing support for the truckers, 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 someone who supports hate. i'm so if you attend a peaceful protest with thousands of people, it 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. we're 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 for hosen, 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 the australian,

the state of new south wales have gone on strike over poor working conditions and low wages, claiming 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 wards and things like this. and during that same period, the premier, we seem like to be strong. our system has capacity to move koby. the message from the nurse's beat was, during the strike was very clear that they would not be. 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's ill preparation for army current was far worse than any impact al strike will have had

i the 1st time health care workers in the region have gone on strike in more than a decade, demonstrators, it say more action will follow if the government fails to meet their demands for pay rises and compensation. if a fall sick, the state premier has agreed to look into the matter, but no deal has been reached. the health care workers want a 2.5 percent increase in pay a limit of $4.00 patients per nurse and the government to ensure that staff are reimbursed for sick leave. michael weights of the nursing association says, wages do not correspond with the conditions they are forced to work under because of the state of wages policy here. why did he have not kept pace with inflation and so many as dying to see their working condition?

not being reflected in the highest 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 they should have. russia has published its response to the us in an on going back and forth on security guarantees. moscow says it's not going to invade ukraine despite all of the rumors emanating from the west, and it wants nato to end its military involvement. there are teased on quarter rent 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 year. russia border foreign ministry document did also say though that washington has shown willingness to work on arms controls and risk reduction measures. us even recognize 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 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 de crane 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 russia's red lines, it's cor 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. on thursday,

moscow expelled the deputy us ambassador to moscow in response to a russian diplomat being forced out of washington amid the crisis over ukraine. and earlier russia's foreign minister marked american media predictions of when russia would invade ukraine. some journalists are saying, it's going to happen later this week when the olympics and after previous bets failed to materialize. not 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 with the political. a well known news out reporting about what is happening on the russian ukrainian border. notice you citing some supposedly reliable sources and i said that did not take place yesterday. will begin on february. the 20th 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 to do on thursday, the 17th 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. well, you've heard from us some from some time now. is to make the point that what the russians iteration has put in place, or the capabilities that would need to order and attack ad anytime net price has lost 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, pretty what? humiliated enough by all that full the prophecies and did start pacing new bets and what exactly it was going to be. the 20th of february was suddenly plucked. now, one with 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 well as the plan all along. and in order to convince people that that is exactly was going on. they even published footage of 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 footage white was not convincing. what we haven't seen is evidence of withdrawal being claimed by the criminal and in fact we've seen continued build up of things like field hospitals. what we're seeing is no meaningful pullback. present pollutants 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 that next week. the forces are there if he

wants to renew aggression against ukraine. so russia keeps his troops at the border and it's seen as an aggressive dog, withdrawing its troops from the border. and it's still an aggressive really just can't win. but that is not all. now even more outlandish, came the coming out from an unnamed senior official in d. c. which alleged that this withdrawal is in fact a huge loss. and in fact, the kremlin is fortifying its forces to the tune of 7000 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 one that the checks 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 f. ganeth stand. well, the 3rd is now what's happening,

the cranium and benefiting from this instability. in recent days, the former us ambassador to germany that richard cornell, 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 is so well acquainted with the ins and outs of dirty politics. and how, of course, a political and he thinks and what not even he has accused washington of being, quote alarmist and stated that the walk rhetoric coming from the white house at the moment is, again, isn't verifiable intelligence. so even in p c, no one is buying at the intelligence clearly, isn't that. and so guess it is a completely legitimate 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 are under pins, 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 turned out to be very convenient if we're being cynical, the epa eminent fabled russian invasion provided the perfect excuse of the greater militarization of europe and also managed to silence. all those people who need just a couple of months ago was asking how the nato alice its purpose, managed to resurrect the military lines. give it a new breath of life and of course not would exist to keep russia bay. it almost is like a 2nd cold war. so yeah, 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 $20.00. 20 three's defense budget, which by the way, something you know, no one talks about is 8 times what russia buttons on defense. but still,

it's apparently russia, that's the aggressor un security council has just held a meeting on the ukraine crisis, specifically on the mens agreement aimed at ending the conflict in the countries east. and the u. s. kept up its claim of an impending russian invasion of ukraine, or to kill him up and was following the session for us. 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 a mass grave, a stage drawn strike against civilians, or a fake, even a real attack using chemical weapons. nobody seeks any 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. and 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 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 look at the guns, attempts to shift responsibility to russia to make it a party to the congo like untenable and have no basis. now the meeting opens with the security council hearing testimony about how the rights of ukrainians and 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 repression being carried out by the government in kiev. 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 are pointed out that these allegations are not leading to peace in the world or that doesn't for me, this are, i will be back in about 34 minutes with another full and fresh look at your news. see what this is or change national ah,

ah, a proud name because of the african and engagement. it was the trail. when so many find themselves will the part we choose to look so common

oh. 1 you're talking at cross purposes. this is at the heart of the west narrative, claiming russia plans to invade you crepe. from the russian perspective, ukraine is a symptom of a much larger issue. nato's relentless dr. eastward. there is a solution though superior 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 for modern devices. like electric cars, mobile phones and computers. 60 percent of the wealth cobalt reserves are in congo . but 20 percent of it comes from small scale mines. units are figures confirm that in 2017. more than $40000.00 children worked in cobalt mining in the republic to

earn a living and paying for schooling. next time you, you as a fancy gant, you had like a smartphone camera laptop. and just remember that there's a chance it works thanks to a child, hard labor children like john michelle henry at all countless others like them to counter for internet retail, p l. c. was k, p and g. they were brought in within 24 hours of me raising issues about accounts with the bank and oper yes. forced to keep empties on forensic accounting team upon the business. then they are point to keep p m g. as corporate finance advisors, then their point to p, p. m g is tongue around specialist. and then 4 months later when the business had gone up for sale, the appointed key p,
