a with 2 powerful explosions locked up and i saw in the self proclaimed republic of little guns. the brass of the latest in the east. you cry an area in the past 24 hours off for a vehicle earlier blew up on the central. don't have another self portraying republic. a put your model list for you to where you know doesn't republic lugens can don't ask the auto mass evacuation of civilians to russia saying people's lives are at risk going on. and showing the 1st boss who is have already crossed the border. in the meantime, president fusion accuses ukraine of flaming tensions with it. and it's kind of

around regions and in the during civilians. the fair amount of human rights and you're right. what i, what you, what key it has to do is just sit down at the negotiating table with representatives of the don. unfortunately, we are now seeing an escalation of the situation in the down rushes. foreign minister says western propaganda on full claims of an impending attack on you find, i mean, an attempt to portray moscow was an aggressor who spoke exclusively to r t a whole. this is probably getting fake, but the main thing is that the office, if the stakes themselves believe in what they say, if russia withdraws is true but will not disappear. the brits for the teacher already being late with lot from laska. we thought that with breaking news, this, our nation, that to awful explosion as in the self proclaimed republic of lugens,

can ukraine's trouble lease and region have lit up the night sky. a gas pipeline is understood to be on fire and emergency workers are at the scene, will bring you more updated information as we receive it. more than a few buses carrying civilians from east ukraine of crossed into russia as part of a mass of occupation effort. those vehicles are carrying more than 1500 people fleeing the self proclaimed. don't ask, i look out. republics. saw foreign 7 blaring since the afternoon in those regions. local leaders, reports show via from the ukrainian army on friday, school children were taken out of class, internet can transported to safety regions leader says residential area and flawed with ukraine when a train officials for acute care of violating a peace agreement in place since 2014 so much

the 1st part to their but you know, molly little i mean when you were alone of cause is now filling up the road setting out have been asked towards russia for now. it's just women, children, and the elderly young man not being told to stay behind. the head of the self proclaimed to public says she could thought a full scale invasion of a don't. at any moment. just a few hours ago, a vehicle exploded in central. don't ask outside the local government building, correspondent trauma closer if is at the same all the evacuation that had indeed begun here and jeanette scans, logan scanned people are lining up at so 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 her city administration.

building in done eh, square at terrorist actor will, local administration has gone, it had occurred around the 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 vehicle 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 victims, 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 explosive devices . but the sound from the blast was heard throughout the city. they could probably sell the power of this explosion because the vehicle is completely destroyed earlier. our engineers were working here with bomb sniffing dogs, but thankfully,

nothing was found. your 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 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 of women and children and the elderly. he said the president of ukraine vladimir zalinski is old barth. he to give an order to the truth set 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 ross

thought 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, we appeal or what i feel like on the film equipment that we have when the enemy shells the populated areas of the town. yes. republic or the life and house of our citizens is endangered. the will. so from today, mass transportation of civilians to russia has been organized, live for one. the 1st of all, women, children, and the elderly ought to be evacuated. what should it, what was it? a little bit so right after dennis bushel in his ha ha, counterpart in elegance, people's republic learned positioning also announced the evacuation of logan's 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 a russia once again, it's not some mandatory,

but it's advised 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 lead him here foods and 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 soon solve this conflict with a negotiation solid and there will be no a loss of life. now we been indeed working here in don boss for quite some time. now actually they come in 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 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 o. c, monitoring michigan who are also here in the near scanned in la guns. they're here in force. i was at their base a little bit earlier. oh the vehicles i seem to be in place. looks like none are on patrol of but we are hoping to hear from them their evaluations very soon early or they did say that they are also reporting an escalation along the front line. now from what i understand concerning the evacuation of 1st civilians from dennis can regards the major part of it, i will take place on saturday as the information campaign regarding the evacuation is still taking place. and of course, we will be here to report it for you. as it happens. ukraine has denied it for 2nd, a dumbass saying it has no plans to retake the breakaway regents through military means one government minister, cool. the ongoing panic,

a russian provocation. ocarina in the year ukraine is not an enemy to peaceful people in the temporarily occupied territory. and our enemy is the russian occupier . so we see the russian occupiers escalating the situation and were making up information as a pretext to spread panic and cars and evacuation. the total is coming with informational support from the russian media disinformation, which of course stirs alarm and panic. we understand that's russia's main go to law zia came escalation. anything ukraine comes in midwestern claims of an impending russian invasion. russia's foreign minister gave an exclusive interview with our tea, saying those allegations are entirely false against the all, this is propaganda to fake some fiction. but the main thing is that the authors, if the fakes themselves believe in what they say. so if it's pleasant for them, why not? but of course, all this causes a smile. no, i don't predict one's cells every day. at the same time,

the native secretary general state, they have no information about an absolute probability of an attack for hand at the same time because the foreign office also declared that no matter what we must be on guard. if russia withdraws, it's true, the threat will not disappear. go the brits for the future already being late, the topic is being habit forever and ever. no political leaders of russian batteries have both voiced alarm. i will ukraine's apparent attempts to escalate the situation and must they gave a joint press conference in moscow on friday afternoon. dusky taylor asthma. 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 mense and moscow has come on to increasing scrutiny when since the 2 countries are currently holding for joint

military drills. cool. i like to resolve 2022. on fact, before the talks that got started, they hugged you, they shook hands and they agreed that most likely on, if not today, both of them together would actually like to participate in those wargames 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 studies, despite of course, that being foreign representative on up to shape on the ground to observe them on despite the crumb 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 war chills have become not just crucial, but always 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 location 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 of these issues are considered together as one complex without separating them from the main russian proposals, which are a priority for another important moment related to concerns raised 5 kids if failing to fill its obligations under the midst agreement, just remind is that is

a 13 point document signed in 2015 to help and the conflict. it's in ukraine president who made special mention of how the new ganske and yet the regions are yet to be awarded the special state to which they were promised under the protocols . and how to this day, we are still witnessing discrimination against the russian speaking population, who are the ukraine in general. in fact, what we heard was lamenting how the situation on the ground it's need to carry or anything. they feel no greater mass while ations of human rights and ukraine. what camp has to do is to sit down at the negotiating table with representatives of the dumbass and agree on political, military, economic 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 to consider them a recognition of the serious issues?

no. 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 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 oscar though all this pointing the finger at russia is simply a deflection and a willful ignorance of the reality on the ground, with attempts to place the blame in russia are futile and baseless. i must say that we are very disappointed by the ostrich like position of our western colleagues who are trying not to see obvious thing always. also briefly raised the west. favorite mew,

foreign policy told. i'm talking about sanctions now here both me decide that they will not only illegitimate, but they also turned out to be fruitless. since both countries have developed on with fortress economies and immunity, you could say to god, the better russia had a state voted out the if the you and the u. s. watch. when pose any thought that you can all make penalties, then that would be a merit response. so yes, as you would expect, probably agenda and today's conversation and press conference was ukraine and the increasingly hostile and aggressive rhetoric on foreign policy coming out from the west. but it would be remiss if i didn't say that there was some positive moment. that's of course not forget that russia and brought a russia to con teeth were 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, for us secretary of state anthony blinking claim to russia was planning

a chemical attack on ukraine either real or fake, as a pretext for an invasion. president boyd and repeated his claim that innovation will happen in the next several days. meanwhile, anonymous us intelligence officials had been closed in the washington post a saying, the russian pullback from ukraine is just a roof to deceive the west. we heard from karen krakowski, a retired u. s. air force, colonel. she said, some people in government have a vested interest in studying the crisis. we just don't have any evidence to support what the state department, what joe biden is saying he is, he is treating germany and, and the ukrainian, the leadership very arrogantly. very authoritarian. you know, as an authoritarian telling them 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 to

$800000000.00 to operate. and this is during a time of peace in a, in a time of economic crisis for the united states in terms of inflation in the, you know, the global response to cove it 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, 2nd year. in the meantime, several western countries have started pulling their stuff out of a monitoring machine in ukraine, run by the organization for security and cooperation in europe. that's apparently down to safety fears. meanwhile, russia has said it will not be taking part and a no c meeting on the conflict. cool, by key of the head of moscow, delegation to the c explained that decision ukrainian, the requested according to these meetings and the consultation according to the

vienna document, or 16. no saying that is unusual, merely directv. we have normal plan, usual military exercises, this bella, russia union, the result $22.00 were announced it in this in january. we are now sit here in vienna. they don't want to listen to us am did lisa scenario orchestrated by us and britain. the joint and ukrainian is to put a dexter to dry out that there are allegedly be invaded. this is 6 sizes. they have these aimed that's why we explained with can it use of yen a document in this situation? it's an appropriate and we are not did it. we can't participate in discussion it, sir. kind of, we're media not on the media 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 way russia didn't participate. ah, a canadian police have tried to break up a protest camp in the country's capital and arrested several truck drivers demonstrating against covert vaccine men. we saw more vac for buses with hard load all the police with our 6 buses. why not get ready for morning? there's over a $150.00 plus police cars, 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 actory. now this is not in place that have to do more levels in parliament. they cannot act on that. they're acting unlawfully. and aaron, acting on their unlawful orders, protested resisting arrest forcefully. taken away offices with several pin to the

ground and handcuff. so one was the christ bob who was taken away and police vehicle was injury. most of the police chief earlier in the protest is we're not peaceful on the crackdown was a minute 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 protesters. we've told them they must leave and we warn 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 is a deliberate plan. there's commitment and there's the resources that we now have in place to actually finally end this. well, the emergencies act that is now enforce allows the government to ban the rallies and suspend project is bank account for up to 30 days and supposed to be invoked only if there's a national crisis. authorities are also tracking down on descent within their own ranks with an ontario government aid losing her job off. it was discovered that

a $100.00 to the movement, opposition lawmakers say the prime minister is acting like a dictator. people lost their wages. citizens were harassing 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 on his word. 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 present. felton, also from the true dela cubism of threats, violence and hatred is what is what even races, flags. now the canadian banks of thought its freezing accounts linked to activists, conway organizer, and when in fact all of the government's actions go against democracy. it's, it's,

it's very disturbing to see where the federal government has taking this and, you know, invoking 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 movers are 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 our rights the last couple years. and now that the people have taken action and seeing enough enough, because because our provincial and federal leaders, you know, they wouldn't stand with the people over the past couple years now that you know, we're practicing our, our race, the 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 the very disturbing russian figure skating soft, i believe it has been given a hero's welcome on our time to moscow from the winter olympics in beijing, crowd of support has gathered to greet her at the airport. the 15 year old had a smile on her face, a relief from many of the many pressure she's been under. belabor is widely regarded as the world's most talented figure skater, shoving in a fixed, i was that we did a doping scandal. she missed out on gold off a troubled final performance. in while a quarter of a ration for sports has criticize the way antidote the agencies half handle the situation. saying the long delay in releasing a failed drug test was damaging for the athletes and other competitors. 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 forth, 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 probe was taken on december 20 fit in russia. so it's b 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 her performance last night. this is a very serious harm, 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 the 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, surprisingly she seemed car mother and those who actually won the meadows 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 i believe it 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. they were talking only about volleyball, all those endless life hits outside the media ascent, and 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. 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. 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 this, the biggest question right now probably upon from valley was fate. of course it is the fate of the t metal team. 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. it may have been an accident as been confirmed by cas and i only have to wonder whether all those people criticizing and on 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 it. those are the headline updates for this our se shoot for dennis miller, ross one and just a few moments. thyme shawn thomas will take all the seats in 30 minutes to guide you through the nightly news headlines and all the international from the team on myself. for now it, thank you, and good night. ah, ah oh huh. a mazda his last name.
