a, with the quote of arbitration for sports publishers, a document blaming anti doping bodies for the chaos surrounding the delay and delivering the results of camila. by year of us december drug test. it also confirms a prohibited substance she tested positive for could have entered her body through her grandfather's medicine build up symbolizes unlawful operate unlawful order. they cannot act on that. they are acting lawfully, also become the leader of the ottawa freedom convoys cup and taken away hours after the term chief of police as a crackdown on unlawful protested committed. meanwhile, the canadian prime minister is branded a dictator by opposition. lawmakers as piri mouth over the use of emergency powers

against protecting truckers. let's remind the prime minister this is canada. here is not a dictator. it's really about the plan is taking a sledgehammer to community keeping start with. russia says it has no intention of invading ukrainian, a written security response to the u. s. while also urging nato to pull its military advisors out of the country and, and joint military drills. meanwhile, diplomats clash at un with moscow urging will power to stop shipping blame for ukraine's internal conflict on to russia with broadcast live direct more studios market. this is our international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to help you with the quote of arbitration for sports has published a document explaining its reasons for allowing figure skater valera to compete at

the winter olympics despite a fail to drug test back in december of the document blames anti doping bodies for not processing test results in time, which in turn harm to the athlete as well as other competitors. it also states the reason, given by the value of us representatives for the presence of treatment as a dean in decembers blood sample. while the vote was apparently in physical contact with her grandfather who was prescribed to medicine after a hard operation, we have discussed the issue with international lawyer lucien valo, me it was very important. the decision itself, they did not want to harm these minor more than necessary. it was based on the fact that it was a very, very low concentration. that is the 1st on which is very poor to mention. and that made it likely, and they were clearing that he makes make is very likely that something

that was not intentional happen. and there are a lot of mistakes. but of course made the biggest mistake of all of them because they say reschedule or or not schedule me for t me went and that was that room was came out of the case and then the 2nd mistake, they read the name and what is also to be said these that bother who should protect a correct application of the code of the code each trying to support that these while the code was not correctly applied and also a very bad behavior to not help actually even needs the code is not correct.

applied earlier, the russian olympic committee team won gold in the women's figure skating competition at the beijing winter olympics on a share because wowing the judges with a flawless performance in the free skate. while camila valerie ever failed to make the winners, podium ortiz lexie says your shasky has details. 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. because it went completely unexpected. for all of us that 1st of all, alexander through. so ginger had russian figures case i came on, i said absolutely demolished, did 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 about 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 evil under so much pressure. 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 mean 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 came back only on february 8th during the olympics when the team stating event 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 if it shows in the u . s, pointing finger at whether you buy and many journalist, or even claiming that she should not be able to compete, but the court of arbitration for support decided otherwise. now it let camila able to perform late, 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 the meal of a lever, on, especially on the us side, has been nothing less than a which hasn't even been 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 lot of questions about it 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 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 fatal that metal relies solely on the investigation of camille. while he was daubing allegations. tensions that rise in downtown ottawa as ours. after canada's interim chief of police, says a crackdown on unlawful protests is imminent. sporadic arrests take place among them the leader of the freedom convoy movement. now here you can see the moment protest leader chris barber was taken away. officers cuffing and searching him before he was placed inside their vehicle. earlier the interim audra police chief insisted that the protesters were not peaceful and that a crackdown was imminent. we've been bolstering our resources,

developing clear plans and preparing to take action. the action is an imminent. in the past few days, we've been 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 were hard load all the, all the blue. we saw 6 buses line up, get ready over 150 watts, lead guard prisoner transport wagon. there's 6 boxes 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 that up to do more levels of parliament. they cannot act on that. they are acting unlawfully, and they're acting under the law or 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 many say not against peaceful demonstrations. opposition. lawmakers in canada have branded the prime minister a dictator. they are furious at just in shadow for triggering emergency powers to deal with the truckers resisting a covered vaccine monday. let's remind the prime minister this is canada. this is not a dictator. 3 gasoline on embers, things are de 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 emergency, zach and now across the country. the leases of jurisdiction have the tools necessary to keep people say, he has politicized his 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 workers. 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 downs and their graces misogynist, a fringe, who quote, take up space and he said, shouldn't be tolerated it. it's really about the prime minister. taking a sledge hammer to canadians that he thinks are unacceptable. now, 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 hosting van cooper, who has 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 so. so if you attend a peaceful protest with thousands of people, you go home, you watch the news, and then you see there were insureds 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 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 is such a crazy overreach of government power. i think it's working in the opposite way that address intro 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 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. he had the situations where there was 2 nurses on the board where they should be at one meet wife, where they should be many of our nurses and meet wives, having overloaded, wards and scenes like this. and during that time period, the premier was signed. seems like our system is strong, our system has capacity and our system is kirby. a message from the nurse's beat was during the strike was very clear that they were not happy. and so it was that disconnect the premier's desire to show that the okay system was strong versus the reality of you is that the government's ill preparation for army kong

was far worse than any impact al strike will have had i was the 1st time health care workers in the region have gone on strike and over a decade, demonstrator say that more action will follow if the government fails to meet their demands for pay rises and compensation. if they fall sick, the state premier has agreed to look into the matter, but no deal has been reached. health care workers, one to 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. micheal weights of the nursing association says wages do not correspond with the conditions they are forced to work under because of wages

policy they why do they have not kept pace with inflation and so many as dying to see their working condition not being reflected in the pi, 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. russia has published its response to the us in an ongoing back and forth on security guarantees. moscow says it's not going to invade ukraine despite all the rumors emanating from the west, and it wants nato to end its military involvement. their ortiz don 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, polish military advisors from eastern and southern europe, and put an end to military exercises near russia's border. the foreign ministry documented 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 proposals 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 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 face 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 could invade ukraine. some journalists are saying that it's going to happen later this week when the olympics and after previous bets failed to materialize. less shook the rules as to whether the escalation will end on february. the 20. i don't know you because we are not the one that risk late. we're not doing this with the police in a well known news report, a thing 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. 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, 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. well, you've heard from us some 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. 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, katie 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 that's this constant postponement of the

ever eminent 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 fast going back to the gardens as well as the pod all along. and in order to convince people that that is exactly was going on. they even published footage of pretty heavy duty weapon reloaded off 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 called 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 off of things like field hospital. what we're seeing is no meaningful pullback. president putin's 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, he could pull it 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 start withdrawing its troops from the board. and it's still an aggressive, it 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. it's 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 iraq. the 2nd was with afghan, a stand. well, the 3rd is now. we're talking to cranium and benefiting from this instability in recent days, the former us ambassador to germany, that's richard cornell. he came out, he made quite an interesting insight. he said, that's just bear in mind that he isn't inside of the he is someone who was so well acquainted with the ins and outs of ducky politics. and how of course, politically think and works. 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 there. and so, yes, 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 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 boasted defense is close to rush. it all turned out to be very convenient. if we're being cynical, the epa imminent a fabled russian invasion provided the perfect excuse for the greater militarization of europe and 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 it exists to keep russia at 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 by jan, he's apparently looking to gets over $770000000000.00 to 2020 three's

defense budget, which by the way, something you know, no one talks about is 8 times what russia spends on defense. but still it's apparent to russia. that's the aggressor or tease south good taylor and andrew farmer there earlier. now the un security council has just held a meeting on the ukraine crisis, specifically on the midst agreements 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 sessions for us. all the meeting of the 15 member body that lead to 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 the 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 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 of don. yes, can luke and guns attempt to shift responsibility to russia to make it a party to the congress 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. that is a for me, i will be back in about 34 minutes with another phone 1st. look at your news. say,

with a change national. ah, well, the pandemic, no, certainly no borders line to nationalities and you as a merge, we don't have a therapy. we don't have a vaccine. the whole world needs to take action and be ready. people are judgment, common crisis with them. we can do better. we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way, but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great. the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together

with talking head cross purposes. this is that 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 drive eastward. there is a solution though. security for all no more than 20 years have passed since one of the world's deadliest terrorist attacks that took thousands of lives. people started to scream. there was a wave that came off for us. that was like opening up an oven door, but not all wounds of heel. the survivors and responders have increased rates of cancer and other health issues. due to the dust and chemicals they inhaled. the coming in to get my blood cleaned out. the, the metals, a lot of blood in my blood in terms of 1st

responder was that was well over a 100001st responders in there was some estimates that 10 to 20 percent still have to yes, some never achieve full recovery. so i will cherish of the minute i have with the only friends. i thought i was horrible before this really humbles you depreciate life. it's been 30 years since the soviet union collapsed. long miss global, other literature log on to walk upon yet no clue. animal talk so, so shown where your swore truck on one coil or thumb ukraine was one of the independent states that emerged from the ruins of a super bow. awesome, good. would you also get honorable greens come a little? i'm surely confusion from a fact and less lucian rest. no, dear beth among or law to read it up or else what is a is there is for sure for any of the vehicle in service or service for the

teachable for our the ship with us or for you on your i was at the past 3 decades been likely ukraine. eye witnesses were cool, the events. this will be more or less to do to ship with you what i knew that order . i'm not sure what a good bunch 4 months with martin windows and what other forces were at play. you have to do the room, show, see inch in machine, those them you put in the kid what it would have couldn't suit when it shows us the most of us until at least take a look at ukraine. 30 years out. the gaining independence organism gets done with almost unless, unless you mean like unity retorted live, but a will. it makes you provision opium. lush williston, holding still for a

with this is then bad going business. say you can't afford to, man, i make a bridge. warren washington, and here's what we have coming up. the federal reserve has spoken and it seems like the us central bank will soon curtail its pandemic air. pandemic era effort, straight ahead. well discuss the measures and what it means for this biking inflation numbers. then we're going to take you in the side of the met, averse to discuss the state of the virtual realm and whether or not the housing food was gonna fill over from the real world and with the olympics hearing. and we'll take a look at just how much money is involved and who is putting the bill for the global game. we have the package there today, so let's get.
