1:03 pm
a couple of 100 meters away from where this took place. if you can see behind me, there is a v call where an explosive device detonated the vehicle belonged to the chief of the people's militia of the self proclaimed an escrow public. there were no victories as the car was empty at the time. and right now the army engineers had already concluded their work here and they haven't found any more slows of devices. but the sounds from the blast was heard throughout the city. he can probably sell lee a power of this explosion because the vehicle is completely destroyed earlier. our engineers were working here with a bomb sniffing dogs. but thankfully, nothing was found to remind you, the building where the administration of the city of the desk is located is right in the center of the city. and it is a friday night,
1:04 pm
and this area is usually frequented by a lot of far a local residents who come out here on a friday night to enjoy their time. thankfully, there were no people around here at that time, and there were no victims. well, apart from this scar, now earlier indeed, the head of the dentist peoples republic announced a evacuation or for women, children and the elderly. he said that president of ukraine vladimir zalinski is old, but ready to give an order to the troops that on a mass along the conflict line to go on an offensive. and he said, in order to prevent the loss of life, people should be evacuated to russia. at the nearest neighboring a region of forest off with whom he had he had already. meda arrangements where a shelter and food and all the necessities will be provided. let's take a listen to what denise bushland. the head of the dentist republic had said earlier,
1:05 pm
where your bill or what i think you're gonna find on the quote that what if when the enemy shells the populated areas of the town? yes. republic the life and house of our citizens is endangered. so from today, mass transportation of civilians to russia has been organized livable when the 1st of all women, children, and the elderly ought to be evacuated orchard, it was a little bit so right after dennis bushel in his ha, ah, counterpart in elegance, people's republic earlier need positioning also announced a vacuum ration offer ganske people to a russia, but he also called on all the men who can carry arms to stay behind and protect their mother. and for the rest, he says it's better to go on a temporary evacuation it to russia. once again, it's not mandatory, but it's advice to leave the self proclaimed republic. so for now to stay in safety
1:06 pm
in russia, where all the necessities will be provided to people. now a little bit earlier on friday of let him here put in in moscow, said that the kremlin is also observing the escalation here in don barza and you called on all sides of the conflict to try to start a dialogue and to solve this conflict with negotiation solid and load the know a loss of life. now we've been indeed working here in don boss for quite some time . now actually we've been coming here for 8 years as the counsellor began in 2014 and the situation had really intensified over the past week. or so it has been really loud along the front line. a lot of for artillery shelling, a lot of explosions, a lot of damage to civilian infrastructure. a couple of people were civilians were wounded as well. now the oversee monitoring machines who are also here in the near
1:07 pm
scanned in la guns. they're here in force. i was at their base a little bit earlier. all the vehicles i seem to be in place. looks like none are on patrol, but we are hoping to hear from them their evaluations very soon earlier. they did say that they are also reporting an escalation along the front line. now from what i understand concerning the evacuation of civilians from the nascar, la garza major part of it, i will take place on saturday as the information campaign regarding their vacuum is still taking place. and of course, so we will be here to report it for you added happens roller coaster if there law finance. scott: thanks for that update. stay safe. we'll get back to you as any more news that comes in over there coming out. well that escalation or anything ukraine comes in, the western plains of an impending russian invasion, rushes, 4 minutes to gave an exclusive interview with our tea thing. those allegations are entirely false against the all this is propaganda fakes and fiction.
1:08 pm
but the main thing is that the authors of these fakes themselves believe in what they say. so if it's pleasant for them, why not? but of course, all this causes a smile, adult spirit predictions and spells every day. at the same time, the nato secretary general states that they have no information about an absolute probability of an attack. and at the same time, the foreign office also declared that no matter what happens, we must be on guard. if russia withdraws its troops, the threat will not disappear. the brits for the future already being laid. the topic is being habit forever and ever. no political. now the leaders of russia and barrows are both of always the law over ukraine's apparent attempts to escalate the situation in a dorm bus, they gave a joint press conference here in moscow in the last few hours, ortiz at taylor had this report. alexander lucas sanker, just the latest head of state to make a flying visit to moscow. quite literally,
1:09 pm
we did see his helicopter taken off from the kremlin just behind me all to those 2 and a half hour talks wrapped up. now he had brought him a putin did in fact meet recently only in december. but friday's meeting comes in a much tense context. and that is because the historic friendship between minsk and moscow has come under increasing scrutiny. since the 2 countries are currently holding joint military drills hold the allied resolve 2022. on fact, before the talks that got started, they hugged they shook hands and they agreed that most likely on saturday, both of them together would actually actively participate in those walk games and announcement that i'm sure will send western media into an absolute tizzy. now the west has viewed these training drills as very hostile. these are the ukraine, that is despite, of course, that being foreign representatives on up to shape on the ground to observe them. and despite the criminal consistently saying that they will most likely wrap up on
1:10 pm
sunday with equipment being shifted out. very soon afterwards, both presidents and the press conference said that unfortunately, these wardrobes have become not just crucial, but almost necessary in light of what they describe as nato pumping weapons into ukraine. now on the issue of ukraine, the 2 liters were very much on the same page. sharing that concern about the military alliance is increasing expansion eastwood. president putin especially talked about the ongoing deliberations. he has, of course, trying to get legally binding agreements in response to the security proposals put forward by russia. that would, for example, see the us withdraw at $65000.00. so troops from central and eastern europe and to see the removal or least reduction of certain types of missiles on the continent. however, it seems that there are still some major sticking points to show you the geisha denali, of the us and other nato members. so for show,
1:11 pm
no desire to adequately address the core elements of our initiative, we are willing to engage in negotiations of these issues are considered together as one complex without separating them from the main russian proposals, which are a priority for us. another important moment related to concerns raised 5 kids if failing to fulfill its obligations under the mint agreement. just remind does that is a 13 point document signed in 2015 to help and the conflicts. and he's ukraine president who made special mention of how to ganske and yet regions are yet to be awarded the special state to which they were promised under the protocols. and how to say we are still witnessing discrimination against the russian speaking population all over ukraine in general. in fact, what we heard was lamenting how the situation on the ground. it's only 2 carriers. they fill a local match while asians of human rights and ukraine. what camp has to do is to
1:12 pm
sit down at the negotiating table with representatives of the don bass and agree on political military. he cannot make and humanitarian measures to end the conflict the sooner the better. unfortunately, we are now seeing an escalation of the situation in the darkness. while these very serious and concrete concerns are being raised 5 minutes and moscow. what are we tearing from the west? a promise you consider them a recognition of the serious issues. know what we're seeing is a continuation of the hysteria and a session with promising that war is just around the corner, despite of course, all the prophecies of the russian invasion of ukraine on the 15th of february, and on the 16th of february, proving to be false our information indicates clearly that these forces are preparing to launch an attack against ukraine in the coming days. we don't know exactly the formal take. it could be a fabricated so called terrorist bombing inside russia, or a fake, even a real attack using chemical weapons for moscow. though all this rhetoric pointing
1:13 pm
the finger up for moscow though, all this pointing the finger at russia is simply a deflection and a willful ignorance of the reality on the ground. because we got 3 attempts to place the blame and russia are futile and baseless. i must say that we are very disappointed by the ostrich like position of our western colleagues who are try not to see obvious things. also briefly raised the west favorite new foreign policy told. i'm talking about sanctions now here both we decide that they will not only illegitimate, but they have also turned out to be fruitless. since both countries have developed and with fortress economies and immunity, you could say to them, the better russian had a state there did out the if the you and the us what to impose any further economic penalties, that would be a merit response. so yes, as you would expect, top of the agenda out today's conversation and press conference was ukraine and the increasingly hostile and aggressive rhetoric on foreign policy coming out from the
1:14 pm
west. but it would be remiss if i didn't say that there was some positive moments. that's of course not forget the russia and by russia 2 countries who are tied together historically culturally, but also economically too. so that will always be areas where they can deepen that relationship not was something that both leaders made a commitment to today. earlier this week, the you a secretary of state anthony, blinking claim to russia was planning a chemical attack in ukraine, either real or fake, as a pretext for an invasion. or is it it but, and has again said he thinks an invasion will happen in the next several days. and, well, anonymous, us intelligence officials have been quoted in the washington post as saying the russian pullback from the ukrainian border is just the route to deceive the west. west. now we're going to current gitovski, retard usaa force. that's an internal thanks for joining us. so much good to have in the program today. as we heard that mister blinking saying russia may stage a chemical attack in ukraine or the praise the pretext of a chemical attack as
1:15 pm
a reason to invade. we have seen such moves before, both by the us and by russia using all or rather saying each of the other side is going to use this as excuses. do you think there's any sort of information to back that up? we haven't seen any. we have not been provided any solid information, usually when the united states foreign policy establishment, the defense department, when they are seeking war or conflict and they're seeking to generate support for that. oftentimes, we will be provided the evidence of some kind even if it's fake evidence. so you know, the access to faked satellite imagery, we're not even being offered that to support some of these allegations in even american media. mainstream media is starting to question some of the messaging that's coming out of the state department and asking them for a little more,
1:16 pm
you know, then just trust us because i certainly, most people who observe this country know that you really can't trust what the united states says in terms of its foreign policy, we are pretty notorious for doing whatever we want and saying whatever we need to say to get what we want was speaking of trust us and mention the washington post article, which cited for unnamed officials who said the russian pullback from the border is a ruth to mislead the west. that really doesn't seem russia can, can when this kind of, if it's got troops on the border, it's going to invite. if it's withdraws them, it's a ruse. where do you think this is coming from and why do you think that the media is focusing so much on whipping up this? his theory about an evasion. well, one of the big things is, you know, the defense department has put forth its budget request. they want $800000000.00 to operate, and this is during a time of peace in a, in a time of economic crisis from the united states, in terms of inflation and the,
1:17 pm
you know, the global response to coven. so economies are doing well, but the pentagon wants $800000000000.00. it's almost a trillion dollars to operate. of course, much of that money is circulated through congressional district. it is part of the defense contractors. it's, it's a global enterprise. they want their funding. now, in order to justify their funding, what you know, people have to be reminded as to why we have a defense department and you know, proposing, conjuring a little worse in different places. and certainly even the threat of world war 3, which has not gone on mentioned, i mean, you know, this is a serious kind of risk. and i think it helps to justify their budget position. we just don't have any evidence to support what the state department and what joe biden is saying he is, he is treating germany and, and the ukranian leadership, very arrogantly very authoritarian. you know, as an authoritarian telling them what they should do, what they will do,
1:18 pm
what they will submit to at the same time we're carrying on both sides of the conversation, what us will do, what you will do, and what russia will do. the u. s. is doing this all by itself. so i think we have to study, you know, we have to hope for the best, but we really have to study how the u. s. government operates and what it's doing as almost as it relates to us domestic policy, financial policy, you know, government stability, those kinds of things because they're there, we don't have any, they've not even offered us any evidence of what they're saying. so why are they saying, well, if you have to follow the money, that's the only thing i can figure in a press conference on it. and i both person lucas younger, the bell, russian president or to the west of aggravated some nuclear conflicts. they've of course, but it's used of doing the same thing. massing troops on the board of service. this goes to ways. do you think that's a fair accusation? laura both saw him, sir, equally to blame. well,
1:19 pm
you could say both sides are equally to blank. but what americans don't see, and what the western media, at least on the american side doesn't recognize, is the geography of the situation. and in fact, most americans don't even understand the geography of our european allies. we don't, you know, we just don't see it. we don't, it's not part of our experience. nato is a great law and we assume it's good and it should be maintained. and beyond that, the average american is not aware or interested in anything that goes on. so that gives the government the u. s. government, a lot of leeway to create stories that won't be challenged by your average american listener. and certainly it's stokes up fear. it's not to say that fears and being stuck in the united states states just as it is in ukraine and, and possibly in russia. this is a dangerous, a dangerous game that i think the united states is playing. but it's just,
1:20 pm
it's almost a, it almost is a legitimate game, you know, as a fantasy, it is not. we're not seeing, we're not seeing things that make sense here. and again, i'm sure this, if you know how you gonna, how do we understand this? i think you have to understand america's aggression. here is a political enterprise, and it is heavily based on what's going on in the united states domestically and also the u. s. position visa v. it's near peer competitors, china, primarily in russia. secondary, i'd like to touch upon the latest news coming out of east new crime. just in the last few hours. there's an evacuation of civilians from the self proclaimed republics. zeus alleged ukraine, always shilling, mess ongoing that of zeus as we speak. how serious does the situation look to you? is this a serious escalation on a serious threat to civilian life?
1:21 pm
well, i do think that it is, and this is the 1st, i mean this in this past couple of days, this preparation basically for to fight each other. this is, this is very concerning and it's good that the civilians and the women and children are being removed where they can be. it is very concerning. and again, you know, when we play out when, when you look at american military capability, ukrainian military capability, potential of european nato allies participating, none of none which have said they will participate. but when you look at their actual capability against in that environment, in that geography against the russian army in eastern ukraine, it doesn't end well for the west. it does not end well for ukrainian sovereignty. it doesn't end well for germany or for other european allies. it doesn't end well for nato, it doesn't end well for the united states. so when you look at that,
1:22 pm
it really is mystifying the level of a verbal aggression that we're seeing out of washington d. c. all right, thanks so much for insight. i would appreciate that countertop skewed retired un forced authentic journal. thanks for your time. me on the program. thanks for having me. now several western countries have thought of pulling their stuff out of a monitoring mission and ukraine run by the organization for security and cooperation in europe. that's apparently down to safety concerns. meanwhile, russia said it will not be participating in our c meeting on the conflict called white t of the head of moscow's delegation to oversee explained that decision ukrainian, the requested according to these meetings and the consultation according to the vienna document of 16 saying this is unusual meal, directv, we have normal plan, usual military exercises that bella union results. 22 were announced it
1:23 pm
in this in january. we'll announce it here in vienna. they don't want to listen to us. and if we see a scenario orchestrated by us and britain, the joint and ukrainian is to put a text to dry out that the allegedly be invaded. this is 6 sizes they have these aims. that's why we explained with kennedy use of in a document in this situation. it's an appropriate and we announced that we can't participate in discussion. it's kind of we're media not only media, it's official, a representative of this is obsessive lunacy, explaining everything they don't want to listen to us. we tried to make it, but it's useless. this why russia didn't participate. ah, a canadian police have tried to break up a protest camp in the capital and the rest. several truck drivers demonstrating
1:24 pm
against corporate vaccine mandates. we saw 4 or 4 boxes are load all the, all the without the boxes. why not get ready over a $150.00 plus least 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 lawfully. and they are acting under a lawful order. protest is resisting arrest or forcefully taken away by officers with several pen to the ground before being handcuffed. one was produce leader chris bob was 1st before being taken away. the interim multiple police chief insisted the protest is we're not peaceful. another crackdown was the one and we've been bolstering our resources,
1:25 pm
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 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 resourcing that we now have in place to actually finally end this or the motion is actor is now enforce allows the government to ban the router. he's on suspend, protest is bank account for up to 30 days. it's supposed to be used only if there's a national crisis. authorities are also graphing down on descent within their ranks . with an ontario government, a losing a job offer, we discovered she donated $100.00 to the movement. opposition. lawmakers say the prime minister is actually loc dictator. people lost their wages. citizens were harassing the potential for violence group. and the federal government instead of
1:26 pm
acting, argued over jurisdiction. canadians can't be expected to simply take this prime minister at his word. kit plans are not consistent with fundamental freedoms. the government should not have the power to close. the bank accounts of canadians on a whim before just as a continuing to make their presence felt in auto from an institute, our q, who them a threat violence and hatred as well as waving races flags. and now canadian banks have started freezing accounts with a freedom conway organizer in winnipeg told us the government's actions go against democracy. it's very disturbing to see where the federal government has taken this and you know, and bulky, and the emergency act for simply having hundreds of thousands of people peacefully protesting in this country is the exact opposite of what democracy should look like
1:27 pm
. with our movement, we're showing a prime example of how a free democracy should work and to be able to practice the right, the peaceful protest when it comes to not be in democratic lee. correct. i think that are, are, are federal government is, is showing a prime example of that. they're, that they're, they've denied so many of our rates the last couple years. and now that the people have taken action and thing enough enough because because our provincial and federal leaders, you know, they wouldn't stand with the people over the past couple years. now, you know, we're practicing our, our rates a piece of protest. that's the one last freedom that we feel we have left in this country and now even not to be stripped away from us. so it's very concerning and very disturbing. now if you have wondered what it's locked, to go on a date with a silicon dullness that it was she one, it's a growing trend in japan, or you can find out just that what that's like minority documentary coming up in
1:28 pm
a few months time. we're back in half an hour. the latest one is again, then ah, back kaiser's financial survival. god. housing, rob. oh oh, you mean the downside artificially? well margaret, don't get carried away. what kind of report with these people learned from their own experience, how vulnerable of business is to the bank. so he pushes my business over, the age, pushes me right to the bankruptcy. now i realize we will go. this isn't just the back that may be involved in this is the counselor at sea. palms is is the lawyers. these people have got you want other stories and it was kind of
1:29 pm
whistleblower. tell people's marriages have broken up, lost their family homes. it is spectacularly devastating. for people's lives, they have committed suicide, but left behind norwich, they explicitly state that it was the constant intimidation and billing by buying coff resource that late them to i took the spear, it's obscene. these people up nor sold. ah, it's almost stopped raining. mr. mackenzie murray's taking his sweetheart to a nearby carry, okay, by oven with
