there are mass violations of human rights and you've rank. what key has to do is to sit down at the negotiating table with representatives of the dumbass. unfortunately, we are now seeing an escalation of the situation in the russian. foreign minister says western propaganda on claims of an impending attack on ukraine on nearly an attempt to put freight moscow as an aggressor he spoke exclusively to. i'll take a propaganda take some fiction. but the main thing is that the office of the stakes themselves believe in what they say crush withdraws is true. the threat will not disappear. for the future are already being late with life from moscow. thanks for joining us tonight on our team to national i'm daniel hawkins. wherever you are this hour. welcome to the program. now we started breaking news here in austin international law. the night 18 is carrying civilians

from east in ukraine of crossed into russia as part of a mass of occupation of vehicles or carrying more than 1500 people fleeing the self proclaimed finance can look on the republics. thorns have been blaring since the afternoon in those regions with local leaders reporting shell far from the ukrainian army. for on friday afternoon, school children were taken out of classes in donors can transported to safety reasons, leader sales, residential areas have been heads in a bombardment. par ukraine's when the trick thomas officials of acute care were violating a peace agreement in place since 2014. so with the 1st time you're parallel to the actual molly. as i mentioned we're, we're, we're building a line of cars is now filling up the roads,

heading out of the nest towards russia. for now though, it's just women, children and the elderly young men are being told to stay behind. the head of the self proclaimed financed republic says key of course thought a full scale. invasion of the don't fuss at any moment. a few hours ago a car exploded in central don't ask outside the local government building or to use their own cause. i have sent this report from the see all the evacuation that had indeed begun. here in jeanette scans, logan scanned people are lining up at various evacuation points to go to a safe place in russia. but before i get to that, i wanted to talk about where i am right now. i'm next to the city administration building in done eh, square a terrorist act local administration has called it had occurred at around 7 15 pm. this friday i was actually about 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 said detonated the vehicle, belonged to the chief of the people's militia of the self proclaimed on this republic. there were no victories as the car was empty at the time. and a now the army engineers had already concluded their work here. and they haven't found any more explosive devices. but the sound from the blast was heard throughout the city. and you can probably tell her the power of this explosion because the vehicle is completely destroyed earlier. our engineers were her working here with the bomb sniffing dogs. but thankfully, nothing was found. her mind you the building where the administration of the city of the nest is located is right in the center of the city. and it is a friday night, and this area is usually frequented by a lot of fall 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 are they had all the de nest people's 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 are a master along the conflict line, to go on an offensive. and he said, in order to prevent the loss of life, of people should be evacuated to russia at the nearest a neighboring a region of forestall. 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. pushing the head of the dentist republic had said earlier, but your bill up, but i think you're gonna fill on the equipment that what if when the enemy shells the populated areas of the town?

yes. republic or 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. what should it go up a little bit so right after dennis bushel in his, ah, counterpart, in elegance, people's republic learning position. it also announced an evacuation of the guns to 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 in russia, where all the necessities will be provided to people. now a little bit earlier on friday of let him hear foods in, in moscow said that the kremlin is also observing the escalation here in don

barza. he called on all sides of the conflict to try to start a dialogue and to solve this conflict with a negotiation solid. and there will be no 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 since the conflict 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 oversea monitoring emissions, who are also here in the near scanned in la gans, they're here in force. i was at their base a little bit earlier. all of 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 miss la garza major part of it will take place on saturday. as the information campaign regarding the evacuation is still taking place and of course, so we will be here to report it for you added happens ukraine is in idaho attacking the don bus, saying it has no plans to retake the breakaway regions. through military means one, government minister call the ongoing panic, a russian provocation. you know, the year ukraine is not an enemy to peaceful people in the temporarily occupied territory. our enemy is the russian occupier. we see the russian occupiers escalating the situation, making up information as a pretext to spread panic and cars and evacuation. all of this coming with informational support from the russian media disinformation fix, which of course,

there's alarm and panic. we understand that russia's main goal was the escalation and ethan ukraine comes midwestern claim was about impending russian invasion. russia's foreign minister gave an exclusive interview with our tea, saying those allegations are entirely false. yeah, we didn't store all this is propaganda fakes and fiction. 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. are the leaders of russia and ben russo both

voice alarm over ukraine's apparent attempts to escalate the situation in the dawn bus. they gave a joint press conference here in moscow on friday afternoon, south sky taylor since this report. alexander lucas sanker. just the latest head of state to make a flying visit to moscow. quite literally, 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 credit and consistently saying that they will most likely wrap up on 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 u. s. withdraw it's 65000. 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 denali of the us and other nato members. so for show, no desire to adequately address the core elements of our initiative, we are willing to engage in negotiations if 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 fight so that it's failing to fill its obligations on the agreement. just remind does that is a 13 point document signed in 2015 to help and the conflicts in the ukraine. a president who made special mention of how the new ganske and yet regions are yet to be awarded the special status, which they were promised under the protocols. and how to say we are still

witnessing discrimination against the russian speaking population all over the ukraine. in general, in fact, what we heard was lamenting how the situation on the ground. it's only 2 carriers down at the negotiating table with representatives of the dumbass 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 have been raised 5 minutes and moscow. what are we carrying from the west? a promise you consider a recognition of the serious issues. note what we're seeing is a continuation of the hysteria and a session with promising that war is just around the corner, just going to court all those prophecies of the russian invasion of ukraine on the 15th of february 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 come off. good. all this pointing to thing, got russia. it's simply a deflection and a willful ignorance of the reality on the ground 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. we also briefly raised the west, the favorite new foreign policy tools i'm talking about sanction now here, briefly to said that they will not only illegitimate but they have also turned out to be fruitless. both countries have developed with fortress economies and immunity . you could say to them, the better russian had a state though, did out. but if the e u and the u. s. was to impose any father economic penalties and that would be a mirror response. so yes, as you would expect top of the agenda,

today's conversation and press conference was ukraine and the increasingly hostile and aggressive rhetoric and foreign policy coming out from the west. but it would be remiss if i didn't say that there was some positive moments. let's of course, not forget that russia and russia, 2 countries were tied together, storage culturally, but also economically too. so that will always be areas where they can deepen their relationship, not was something, but he does made a commitment to today. earlier this week, the us secretary of state anthony blanket unclaimed russia was planning a chemical attack in ukraine, either real or fake as a pretext for an invasion. a president boston repeated his claim that an invasion will happen in the next several days in while on the us intelligence officials having quoted in the washington post a saying, the russian pull back from ukraine border is just the route to deceive the west. we heard from current gitovski a retired us and force that sort of tunnel. she says some in the government have

a vested interest in stirring up the crisis. 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 ukrainian leadership, very arrogantly very authoritarian. you know, as an authoritarian telling him what they should do, what they will do, what they will submit to at the same time we're carrying on both sides of the conversation, what the u. s. will do, what you will do, and what russia will do. the u. s is doing this all by itself. you know, the defense department has is put forth its budget request. they want a $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, you know, the global response to coven, 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 up 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 a risk, and i think it helps a justify their budget position. what americans don't see, and what the western media, at least on the american side, doesn't recognize, is of the geography of the situation. and in fact, most americans don't even understand the geography of our european allies. so that gives the, 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 stokes up fear it almost is a legitimate game, you know, as a fantasy, it is not. we're not seeing, we're not saying 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. second year, several western countries have started pulling their staff out of a monitoring mission and ukraine run by the organization for security and cooperation and year. that's apparently because of safety concerns. meanwhile, russia has said it will not be taking part in our c meeting on the conflict called by key of the head of moscow is delegation to the oversee explained that decision ukrainian requested according to these meetings and consultation. according to the ma'am of 16 saying the to some use of military, we have normal land usual military exercises. this bella union resolved to enter. we're now in this in january. we are now sit here vienna. they don't want to listen to us am with scenario orchestrated by us and

britain. they joined ukrainian is to put a text to dry out so that the allegedly be invaded. this is excited. they have these aims. that's why we explained with kennedy use of a document and the situation is an appropriate and we are now that we can't participate in discussion. it's kind of media, not only media, it's official representative of just obsessive lunacy explaining everything they don't want to listen to us. we try to make it, but it's useless this way. 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 against coca vaccine mandates. we saw 4 or 4 boxes that are load all the

all the with pick up and why not get ready. morning there's over a 100 plus leads guard prisoner transport wagon. they're fixed up and getting ready to load guys up, build up symbolizes unlawful operate and unlawful order. because this is not an emergency actor. no, there's not a place that i have to do more levels and they cannot act on that. they are acting lawfully. and they are acting under unlawful orders for justice resisting arrest to a forcefully taken away by officers with several pin to the ground before being handcuffed. one was protest, lita chris mamma, who was such before being taken away in for him or to a police chief earlier in the protest as were not peaceful and a crackdown 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 luminous. exact that is now a force allows the government to ban the router and suspend voters as bank accounts for up to 30 days. it's supposed to be invoked only if there's a national crisis. authorities are also tracking down on descent within the ranks. will ontario government, a losing her job offer, was discovered she donated a $100.00 to the movement. opposition? lawmakers say the prime minister is acting like a dictator. people lost their wages. citizens were harassed by 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 was 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. the protesters are continuing to make their presence fell to an auto from an ester trudeau accused them of threats. vaughn and i'm hatred. does one is waving racist flags. now canadian banks have started freezing accounts linked to activists . a freedom conway organizer in winnipeg told us the government's actions go against democracy. it's very disturbing to see where federal government has big enough and you know, and bulky in the emergency for simply having hundreds of thousands of people peacefully protesting in this country is the exact opposite of what a democracy should look like. 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 being democratically correct. i think that our, our, our federal government is, is showing a prime example of that there that they've denied so many of 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 race 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. russian figure skating stall, kimball, a believe has been given a hero's welcome on or we're trying to moscow from the winter olympics in beijing. the code of supporters gathered to greet her at the airport, the field and a smile on her face. the relief for many of the months pressure she's been on the

lever is widely regarded as the world's most talented, biggest cater showing it picks. they was overshadowed by a doping scandal. she missed out on gold for troubled final performance. while the court about betraying the sport has criticized how the anti doping agencies have handled the situation. they said the long delay in releasing a failed drug test was damaging for the athletes and other competitive. this has been the results of the relevant unsaved open bodies. failing to ensure that pending cases are resolved before the olympic winter games commence. had that all been accomplished on time and in conformity with the time limits recommended by water than a decision on the merits of miss well eve as 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. how does the caea statement fit in with that disappointment last night when valinda went from favourite to 4th,

the pressure must have been immense. we'll 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. first of all, costs did say that. now the now broke, the positive probe, which came back with allegedly a doping test. and a positive dog dog test of global eva that itself, the procedure took too long and basically gave no chance for while you were to mount any kind of defense. it came not in the middle of the olympics on february 8th, despite the bill was taken on december 20 fit in russia. so it's big questions as to how white this and it 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 believe if you consider high performance last night. this is a very serious hom, especially when it comes to where psychological state and also let's not forget

that our cost is not ruling out. that all this may have been a technical mistake. there is a probability that the onsite up in the boardroom might have made a technical mistake, which is compatible with the extreme of low concentration in the sample. this is why the athlete will request the analysis of the b sample 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 to then he, she knows how she fails, 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, surprising you. she seemed car mother and those who actually won the medals last night. so she didn't really have any comments to make, but listen for a week or even more than that. a believer 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 inside

a russian team or the r o c team to be sent home immediately and 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, 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 performance. probably the worse performance by lever, which costs are an olympic metal. what about olympic chief selection that this is reflect on them because they were 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 will, 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,

we're not even talking about the metals one by athletes, that we're talking only about volleyball, all those endless life hits outside the media. a center not about winning gold, but about the doping allegations. clearly that has huge mark to play on the games. and you know what the i o. c president, thomas bach was. beth stood with questions on friday morning, had been waging 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 early a boy and thomas back basically deflected all the questions. there was even a question about whether he felt believe i was bullied by some members of the western press. 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 . i speak the 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 thomas back in the officials. this is not gonna be the end of it . it's going to drag on even after we've had the closing ceremony. what can we

expect next on that? the biggest question right now, probably upon from believe was fate. of course it is the fate of the t metal team, 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 believe or will go to open her be sample. it may have been an accident as been confirmed by cas and i only have to wonder why the all those people criticizing and i'm basking 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 those the headlines for now. so if you go with visionaries coming away in a few moments time, my way back in 30 minutes with the latest level use up like jonas again, that no, not a international ah

ah ah.
