1:01 am
1st to canada. them where police have tried to break up a protest in the capitol, making sporadic arrests of truck drivers and others demonstrating against coping vaccine mandates further im raging. that protest is in the process. we saw 4 well, 4 boxes are glowed all the, all the blue. we saw 6 buses. why not get ready? there's over a 100 was bullies. mars prisoner transport wagons. there's 6 buses getting ready to load guys up, build up symbolizes unlawful operations. unlawful orders. because this is not an emergency, i agree, no, not at least with do more levels of parliament. they cannot act on that. they are acting unlawfully an air acting under my lawful order, protested resisting arrest. were falsely taken away by officers several pin to the ground before being cuffed, one was protest leader, chris barb, who was also searched before being put inside a police vehicle. the inter mall to
1:02 am
a police chief earlier insisted the protest as were not peaceful and that a crack then was imminent. 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've been communicating directly with the unlawful protestors. we've told them they must leave and we have warned them the consequences of disobeying these rules . we will never stop trying to get people to leave our streets. that's exactly what we want them to do. just know that there's a deliberate plan. there's commitment and there's the resources that we now have in place to actually finally end this. the emergencies act us now enforce is allowed the government to ban the rallies and suspend protests as bank accounts for up to 30 days. it's supposed to be invoked only if that a national crisis. ontario government aid has lost her job after was discovered that she donated a $100.00 to the freedom convoy movement opposition. lawmakers branded the prime minister, a dictator for triggering such drastic measures over the truck as protest. people
1:03 am
lost their wages. citizens were harassed. the potential for violence group and the federal government instead of acting, argued over jurisdiction. canadians can't be expected to simply take this prime minister at his word blows. his plans are not consistent with fundamental freedoms . the government should not have the power to close the bank accounts of canadians on a whim or to a prime minister to acute the protests of threats, violence, and hatred, and waving races. flags of the media as mostly followed the official line with only a few exceptions. one of them is radio host, kid carlson who was forced out of his job off the he expressed support for the truck as he dismissed the racism. claims as a fabrication comes up to divide 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. ah, so if you attend
1:04 am
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 a spreading, racist hateful messages. so many canadians, early brainwashed and then go on attack each other on, on social media. so there's a very strange divide that's happened between us where relationships are being destroyed between co workers and family members and, and friendships. i've been talking to a lot of people on my podcast to our live on the front, you know, grounds of where this is all happening in ottawa, i do so side of the parlor billings, and they've had their phones face timing with me zooming with me interviewing people walking by and it seems to be all high fives and support from people who even live in the neighbourhood. i'm so the energy is very high. i feel like people are in support of the truckers. there's a massive wave of love and support and i'm and freedom and i think the mainstream media is hiding that and not giving in a voice. and there's
1:05 am
a bubbling frustration with canadians who aren't getting their voices heard. 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 or, and i donated to the truckers convoy as well. so my wife and i are saying, while we're on that list, should we be worried about it because it is such a crazy overreach of government power. i think it's working in the opposite way. that adjusted should oh hopes and it's not. i'm of going to have his back down. it's actually waking us up to fight even harder. the canadian government clamped down, opposed with even balls to protest as of flare with similar convoys in new zealand . there's a major, ongoing turn, as in the capital, over strict covered regulations. their trucks and other vehicles have long roads
1:06 am
around parliament, as well as pitching tents and setting up food stools. these protests are now into their 10th day. many there seem to be intent on staying for the long haul to the heightened police patrols with officers telling the truck as to leave or face getting their vehicles towed and seized. next, the court of arbitration for sport is blaming anti doping agencies for not processing figure skater camella valley. this test results properly, which in termed harm, both the athlete and other competitors. this has been the result of the relevant anti doping bodies failing to ensure that pending cases are resolved before the olympic winter games commence had all been accomplished on time and in conformity with the time limits recommended by water than a decision on the merits of miss will leave us case, and her status could have been made well before the game started and before her competition experienced. and that of other athletes was affected adversely. ok, let's catch up again with our man in beijing,
1:07 am
alexia shasky. hi again. how does the caea statement fit in with that disappointment last night when the lever went from favorite to 4th, the pressure must have been immense. well, i have to tell you that last night broke many hearts, not just knows openly, routing for believe, obviously in russia and everywhere across the world. but even those critics of her, even the journalist who am busting off a week's said that this was a pure hot break. even the aisle seat president thomas boss speaking a friday's breath conference in beijing admitted that he was absolutely heartbroken watching what happened with while eva on the i some now thursday night. and how does this bed in with the cost statement? well, 1st of all, costs did say that now the now broke, the positive probe, which came back with allegedly a doping test, a positive dog dog test off global eva that itself, the procedure took too long and basically gave no chance for believer to mount any kind of defense, it came not in the middle of the olympics on february 8th,
1:08 am
despite the probe was taken on december 20 fit in russia. so it's b questions as to how white this took so long. secondly, and that is a very important statement by cost that athletes should not be subject to the risk of serious harm caused by anti doping authorities. failure to function effectively at a high level of performance. and this is basically exactly what happens to a leave if you consider her performance last night. this is a very serious harm, especially when it comes to my psychological state. and also let's not forget that our cost is not ruling out. that all this may have been a technical mistake. let's listen. there is a probability that the onsite up in the board room might have made a technical mistake, which is compatible with the extreme of low concentration in the sample pieces. why the athlete will request the analysis of the b sample. now bought all these eggs into one basket, and you will see just how heartbreaking it is a technical mistake essentially, which could be proven a has probably ruined,
1:09 am
believe us korea and you know, all the pressure from the media as well. so let's talk about that for a 2nd, because since this broke, a lot of people have been projecting what kind of pressure this 15 year old girl might be under a lot of sympathy on the timelines too. but only she knows how she feels, trying to perform the top of her game at a winter olympics. and yet facing all this pressure, she said anything about what she's going through. well, surprisingly she seemed calmer there and those who actually won the metals last night. so she didn't really have any comments to make, but listen for a week or even more than that of oliver was heavily lambasted by some of the mainstream media, especially in the west. there were people who were calling for her to be dismissed from the olympics. there are people who are calling on the entire russian team or the arrow seem to be sent home immediately or not compete in the next several olympics. all this pressure by the media has been absolutely severe, and i dare to say disgusting at times,
1:10 am
considering the fact that nothing yet has been proven. it's almost set in stone down that a lever will open her b sample. once she comes back to moscow and she's on her way to moscow now, so this story will drag on, of course, but without any concrete evidence of wrongdoing. all those media outlets, all those journalists, seems to have forgotten completely about the presumption of innocence and the result of that, or part of the result of that we saw last night with that before it's probably the worst performance by believe which caused or an olympic metal what about olympic chief to lexia, that this is reflect on them because i was supposed to be putting on a big show instead, they've had this canoe blight battle to try and keep the route away from what should be a global sporting showcase over the past couple of weeks, well, i will not lie. this issue has poisoned to the olympic games massively here for the last 10 days. or most of the journalists here were not even talking about the metals, one by athletes. they were talking only about volleyball, all those endless life hits outside the media center, not about winning gold,
1:11 am
but about the doping allegations. clearly that has huge mark to play on the games. and you know what the i, you'll see president thomas bock was. beth stood with questions on friday morning, had been begging during a press conference. it lasted an hour. the entire hour was dedicated to believe, just to prove the case of the book to prove my earlier point. and thomas back basically deflected all the questions there was even a question about whether he felt volleyball was bullied by some members of the western press. and he said that we should rather talk about doping allegations than that. he was also asked about why he decided to meet with the japanese and the u. s . ice figure skating teams and not the russian team. he deflected that as well. so there are questions lingering among many here about the quality of management of this situation by tom was back in the officials. he really didn't have anything concrete to say, except maybe a meeting that he was heart broken to see what he will fail on ice. just as we all were last night, which is disappointing, this is not gonna be the end of it. it's going to drag on even after we've had the
1:12 am
closing ceremony. what can we expect next on this? the biggest question right now, probably a bond from valley was fate. of course it is the fate of the t metal g. a gold metal that's russia. figure skating team one almost 2 weeks ago. now the award ceremony has not been held ios. you promised that once the case is resolved, i, it will be held appropriately at a different place, different time. obviously, that is the biggest question right now. of course, there's no question about it that will leave a will go to open her be sample, or it may have been an accident as been confirmed by cas and i only have to wonder why the all those people criticizing an ambassador her all throughout will apologize when i have no question about it, when volley was found innocent in any kind of wrongdoing, but of course i'll be keeping you updated on everything happening with it. okay, be, i will check back in with you later, we should at this stage, be applauding what was happening on the podium, shouldn't way not to be sadly. okay, alexia, chefs, game, beijing, thanks for that. we discuss developments with international sports lawyer lucien
1:13 am
bologna who's on several high profile cases of the quote above attraction for sport . it was very boards in the decision itself. they did not want to harm these minor more than necessary. it was clear based on the fact that it was a very, very low concentration that is the 1st on which is very important to mention. and that makes it likely. and they, they were clearing that he makes make is very likely that something that was not the intentional happened. there are a lot of mistakes, but the i o. c of course, meets the biggest mistake of all of them. because they didn't like say, reschedule or, or not scheduled. so when he thought t me went and that was that rumors came out of the case and then the
1:14 am
2nd mistake, they read the name. and what is also to be said these that lot of who shoot 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 had very bad behavior a while ago to not help athletes even leave the code is not correctly applied. ah, there are new predictions of a supposed russian invasion of ukraine coming from western powers with repeated warnings that it'll happen in the next few days. rushes dismissed, what it calls hysteria and even ukrainian leaders say they see no threat of a full scale operation. right. crystal ball time, let's talk, correspondent danny armstrong is across. that is putting the horror into our scope swanson to stop this friday. well, thank you for calling, but yeah, and on this friday morning in moscow it seems that the promises of diplomacy,
1:15 am
the escalation and dialogue with me to turn out to be false, is my drama doubling down and disinformation as we saw what the media was taking bets on what an invasion into ukraine would be, joe biden myself was reported a saying that on wednesday february, the 16th would be the day of the invasion, but it seems the best thing has been suspended on that particular market for the time being. of course, we saw russian troops taken away from the ukrainian border as they wrap to military drills down there. what we have seen is, is, is more that's being placed. i mean, it's quite, quite the thing when you see the market on this still open. so my saying it's going to be the end of the beijing lympics some time on the february, the 20th. sometime, some people say it's going to be later on in february. thank goodness that 5 years a short month. and of course, as we're seeing, despite those troops being removed and rushes, showing his commitment to de escalation diplomacy, we're still seeing rather the entire biden administration saying that there will
1:16 am
still be this imminent invasion. i believe that they are a full flag operation with 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 d, value rushes proposals for security guarantees. so as we see there, russia blaming the west for this blame game, this blame shifting and saying they're trying to the value rushes security demands for us to spend the loudest on this waving their intelligence papers while they things going to happen. it's on the low and there is a, there are others waving a bit of a political pitch folk. well, of course, as we saw the u. k. defends ministry just the other day, posting on twitter,
1:17 am
arrows, and axis of invasion and how booting would make his way into crane. i can't remember how many roots they actually wrote, but there were, there were quite a few of course, this cons. anthony blinking and the u. s equity general set at the un security council that if russia does invade, there will be serious sanctions. however, he is happy to be proved wrong. it doesn't really seem that way when the whole biden administration, as a just mentioned in western media, it seems, have been caught up in this is theory and still as a say trying to predict when this invasion will be. let's listen to what anthony blink can set it that un george counsel or information indicates clearly that these forces are preparing to launch an attack against ukraine. in the coming days, even a real attack using chemical weapons, you get attempts to place the blame and russia are futile and baseless. their goal is to shift the blame away from ukraine. i must say that we are very disappointed
1:18 am
by the ostrich like position of our western colleagues. try not to see obvious things. so in this frenetic diplomacy that we've had over the past couple of weeks, i didn't think i've seen so many leaders and foreign ministers pluck of the miles coming to moscow. i have in the past 8 days or so still those talks about sanctions being floated some more vociferous on it than others, and speculating about the date as you say, what's really going on in east a new crime of intelligence that you're absolutely right. of course, there has been a flurry of western diplomats who have made their way social cost less true scenario macaroni and olaf shows who saw the german chancellor of the last of those . they were all being ready for talks to the war as it war. now what's going on in easton ukraine because we saw the attacks in east new crane on thursday in the new hands and the netscape regions in east ukraine. the reports on the ground was that those attacks were from you. chris from kiev k was behind the tank. however,
1:19 am
it had been reported in ukraine, the russian separatists were behind. and what we're seeing now is lots of reports that russia is trying to find a pretext to launch that invasion into ukraine. and this has been reported the same as these attacks in easton, ukraine. russia is behind them and of course, trying to, to create and this pretext now in the, in the us. net price has been one this to say that the fact that he but he can't find any, any bases for these claims. if genocide of these math grades and in, in do hands can and internet, the president putin said in those talks with olaf schultz. there has been a jet with genocide in easton ukraine, and rosa phobia and ned price is there is no basis for this and that he can't find any. but when asked and by a reporter, he couldn't find any evidence to support his own claims. i mean, we can see,
1:20 am
or listen to robert, what the russian side is, had to say about these attacks or any new frame. how else can one interpret the shelling of residential areas by ukrainian armed forces? were the discovered mass gravesites of almost 300 civilians near lugens who were killed only because it considered russian that their native language. we see here not just double standards of united states, but quite a primitive and crude cynicism done. it is a serious word to use genocides. the us has rejected it out of hand, but it is so one side of the way it's being talked about at the moment from washington that has seemed to be any even attempt to remote balance, even as you say, well, the se found yesterday in the eastern regions, well yes, of course, it has been completely maxed out. of course the word genocide is, is very, very serious. and we're sure that russian president vladimir putin wouldn't have used that without any real base. but of course in the u. s. that said, that's being denied, as we said, and that price has been saying that this is completely basis and there's no evidence. and another diplomat who's is wait and of course,
1:21 am
a lover of russia's top diplomat, the foreign minister said this kind of this, this from the west, this hysteria. and this talk of invasion really does need to stop. he was want to say that and be when he would like the, the west, the media to publish a full day. so he can plan his time off around. i'm pretty sure we would like some time off from the syria. but yes, you say, certainly one of those, i mean we can see what we can hear all the 2nd law problem set about this just just right now, you know, of course we, we really do want some, some kind of a break to this. the sad february 15th and 16, and now its february 20th. and lets trust announce that could happen any day. what are convenient method for predicting? what if what they are doing isn't escalation, then what even is escalation? in fact, some even seem to enjoy this can't help themselves usually overwhelmed by the desire to get involved in another anti russian campaign. it seems that their sense
1:22 am
of superiority and self righteousness has now crossed all the lines. and sadly, they don't even see where the lines are somewhere close to a lover, i've been talking about those red lines. those all important red lines as it needs . he must not create your talks about nato's own self importance and self righteousness crossing lines. no headlines, cross lines, red lines. it's all, it's a little bit of a mess and all seems to be coming from western media and hysteria. yeah, i think the best we could advise people is, you know, dilute, use in, take it from a few sources. we'll keep on levels down. i hope. anyway. all right, any armstrong, thanks very much for that. well, russia, meanwhile is ramped up it's pressure on nato listing. several demands required for de escalation of the regional tensions. moscow says, washington hasn't provided a constructive response and to pay as unprepared to discuss certain topics. it also says the united states showed only convenient topics for discussion of russians, demanding that nato stop conducting drills with ukraine and for western powers to
1:23 am
stop supply weaponry. to that country on russia's borders, moscow insists all its proposals need to be considered in their entirety. and we spoke to a former british politician and archie has george galloway about the recent development satellites. obviously don't work when it's about russia and troop movements away from ukraine, but neither do they work when the allegation is that more troops are moving towards ukraine. how difficult would it be for the united states to produce satellite images of precisely that which they allege? the answer is they can't, because there isn't, there are no russian troop movements towards ukraine. there are significant troop movements in the opposite direction. the real thing that has provoked this crisis is the pumping fool like a turkey before thanksgiving. stuffing of western trainers, troops,
1:24 am
mercenaries, and weapons into ukraine. russia cannot be expected to be relaxed about and relax. they are not on the nato think tank the wrong predicted russia would invade new crane last week is ramping up. the accusations saying it's moscow that subbing disinclination is more, i guess the if you haven't heard about the atlantic council at is arguably one of the most aggressive pro valence think tags in the world. that is the de facto thing, tag of nato. so no surprise, they've been that the full front of this hysteria that we're all sick of. just listen to their deputy director. but in has big we can plans and ukraine. he's going to cut power and heat, knock out ukraine in navy, and air force, kill general staff and hid them with cyber attack. then install pro russian president and resort to full scale military invasion if ukraine doesn't give in. this was last week and just like her previous predictions, no one invaded anyone,
1:25 am
but she did her job. she helped mislead countless people and spreads immeasurable fear, bannock, and, and even terror. and she, she has now been hired by the u. s. government to lecture on russian this information. but what other things, can you the u. s. government, european governments, new cranes do i to combat states foster? just information efforts coming from moscow. we live in an upside down world. the atlantic council, which is co funded by such organizations as the u. s. military, all manner of west and weapons manufacturers, as well as well. johns and a slew of banks. you would think that with all that money, the atlantic council would be a serious organization. analysts and intelligence and tactical teams and strategic teams. no. their predictions of basten feelings and the motions. we have
1:26 am
learned emotions running high and i let them get the better of me. i still expect action this week, but putting me dragged us out. we still don't know, but i'm line is that a recognize that i need to be more judicious, her feelings? her heart told her that that bruton was about to cut power to ukraine and, and kill their senior officers a dake out the navy coast, the millions of dollars her organization gets from american weapons, manufacturers whose stock prices are directly dependent. the public fear had nothing to do with that. similarly, i think she would be against having to disclose that the atlantic council is funded by arms manufacturers in every one of her tweets. she's also against us state funded media, having to disclose such information like voice of america. i'm voicemail america had a great reputation trusted. i mean, al, it was the status. does it still have a good reputation and is it blocked in russia?
1:27 am
occurring to and there we go, that discussion on russian, this information turns. and to this information about russia and ridiculous situation. comical leave it until you realize that these people are advising the u . s. government, european states media outlets. and you can only wonder how much more damage have their emotions done that we don't know about. they produce a lot of effect on policy making because they determine the debate. so they work to shut out. people with alternative viewpoints are to promote of the dominant narrative. well, it poses a lot of risks, but i think from their point it's a win win. so ah, if there is an invasion, then they look kind of prescient. and if there isn't, they'll all run around something in their chair saying how strongly are and how moscow back down. because joe biden's such a tough leader. in fact,
1:28 am
thomas friedman just wrote a column basically saying that the other day. so they are one of the, i was say, major propaganda tools that are used by the, the, the security state i will as ever will keep you posted across developments as they happen here on the all t international. you get more on auto come. of course, all of video stories on youtube for now though, for me and i'm oscar new thing, thanks for watching. we'll be here to update you and i'll find out ah, with
1:29 am
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 ah. it's almost stopped raining. mr. mackenzie murray's taking his sweetheart to a nearby carry okey by oven
