a with 2 powerful explosions are understood. taking place in the self proclaimed republic of guns. the blast would be the latest in the eastern ukraine area in the past 24 hours after a vehicle earlier blew up in the center. i've done yet another self proclaimed republic and with your simulator. put your mulling for when you realize building google scans and yet start a mass evacuation of civilians to russia saying people's lives are at risk due to ukrainian army shelling. the 1st of the buses have already crossed the border and

rushes. foreign minister says western propaganda and false claims of an impending attack on ukraine are merely an attempt to portray moscow as an aggressor. he spoke exclusively to r t go to school. this is probably gonna take some, but the main thing is that the wolf is if the stakes themselves believe in what they say. if russia withdraws, it's true that threat will not dissipate. the brakes for the future are already being late blockers with broadcasting live director most studios in moscow. this is our to international. i'm john thomas. i'm certainly glad to have you with us now. we start with breaking news. this. our 2 powerful explosions are reported in the self proclaimed republic of lou ganske in ukraine's trouble eastern region. the gas pipeline is understood to be on fire and emergency workers are at the scene. the blazes said to be almost extinguished with local authorities,

claiming sabotage could be behind both incidents. now, the explosions are understood to have occurred after more than 80 buses carrying civilians from eastern ukraine crossed into russia as part of a mass evacuation effort. those vehicles are carrying more than 1500 people fleeing lugens can done yet. another self proclaimed region. sirens have been blaring since the afternoon in those regions with local leaders reporting shell fire from ukrainian army the friday afternoon school children were taken out of class and done yes and transported to safety. the regions leaders has residential areas have been hit in from barton, meant by ukraine's military officials and done bath, the region in which don yet, scandal ganske are located, have accused of violating a peace agreement in place since 2014 so much the 1st

part to their the but you, molly? i mean, when you were a line of cars is now filling up the roads, heading out of done yes towards russia, but for now it's just women, children and the elderly young men are being told to stay behind the head of the self proclaimed done yet republic so good start a full scale invasion of the don boss at any time now of the explosions follow in earlier blast and central don. yes. where a car exploded outside the local government building r t remote coast of reports from the scene. all the evacuation that had indeed begun here in jeannette 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 want to talk about where i am right now. i'm next to the city administration building in done eh, square at terrorist actor will, local administration has called 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 detonated the vehicle belonged to the chief of the people's militia of the self proclaimed an escrow public. 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. and you can 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 of 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 barrera. 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 forest,

off with whom he had he had already made the 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, for your bill or but i think on the film equipment that what if when the enemy shells the populated areas of the town? yes. republic or the life and health of our citizens is endangered. the will. so from today, mass transportation of civilians to russia has been organized. look, 1st of all women, children, and the elderly ought to be evacuated, what, what was a little bit so right after dennis per shill in his a ah, counterpart in elegance, people's republic earlier need positioning, also announced the evacuation of look, ask 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 a mandatory, but it's advise 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 here put 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 lobby know a loss of life. now we been indeed working here in don boss for quite some time now actually will be 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 artillery showing 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 emissions, who are also here in the near scanned in logan. 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 not our own 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 nurse can legacy the major part of it 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 that it is attacking the done bass region, saying it has no plans to retake the breakaway regents through military means. and

one government minister called the ongoing panic, a russian provocation. ok, you know, the year your brain is not an enemy to peaceful people in a temporarily occupied territory. our enemy is the russian occupier. we see the russian occupiers escalating the situation and were making up information as a pretext to spread panic and cars and evacuation. the board was coming with informational support from the rush media. this information, which of course eaters alarm and panic 3 understand that russia's main goal to war can the same tone has been echoing in washington from where president biden recently address the nation over the ukrainian crisis. in his speech, he cited with care without taking into account the recent developments and the self proclaimed republics. for me on the left cross live to our correspondent in the united states. caleb, caleb, one of the main takeaways from biden speech. well, biden speech wasn't that different than what he's been saying for the past couple weeks. he said that a russian invasion of ukraine was inevitable at this point,

was sure going to happen. he was confident that it would happen. he said that he has no intention of conducting military operations on fellow citizens. it's quite interesting that he continues today for tray. you know, the government as, as the victim, when the latest development is the 2 massive explosions that we won in the claim. republican don't ask and the other in time. so whatever 5, to present a narrative where the victim group is somehow they don't resar, here's some of what we heard. united states over the last few days. we've seen reports of a major uptick in violation of the cease fire. i rushing back fighters attempting to provoke ukraine in the dumbass. we also continue to see more and more just information being pushed out by to the russian public, including the russian back separatists, claiming that ukraine is planning to launch

a massive offensive attack in the dumbass. look, there is simply no evidence either assertion is in a device, defies basic logic. now, what biden is not referring to or acknowledging is the fact that troops at this point are moving away from the ukranian border. now that the military drills the soldiers were conducting, have concluded troops are actually moving away from the ukrainian border. and addition to that, he continues to portray ukraine as if it's under siege eyes. if you know, ukraine is on the brink of having, you know, moscow send the military in and start marching toward. but the facts don't match that reality. in fact, at this point we have, we have russia coming forward and saying they have no plans of attacking ukraine. however, they would like to see the minced agreements, you know, implemented. and at this point, we are also hearing concerns from forces in don't ask and do hon saying that they anticipate that the government in here will. busy be cracking down on them very

soon. now, massive accusations are underway. people from ukraine's eastern regions are being evacuated into russia. due to these fears that the, the force is based on the west will continue to sweep and will, will march and an attack. there's been quite a bit of upset and panic following these explosions. that recently happened, but biden's narrative doesn't seem to have changed at all. he's sticking with the same old script we've heard. he is absolutely sure. russia is going to invade and any, any facts or evidence to the contrary is simply not acknowledged. right, or to kill them up in their force in the united states, keeping across the situation. a very rapidly developing situation. we know that you'll stay on top of it for us. appreciate it. all right, now, the escalation in eastern ukraine comes midwestern, claims of an impending russian invasion. russia's foreign minister gave an exclusive interview with our tea, saying those allegations are entirely false. yo didn't store all this is probably

got a fake, some fiction. so, but the main thing is that the authors, if these fakes themselves believe in what they say. so if it's pleasant for them, why not wrong? but of course, all this causes a smile. i don't spirit predict, winds in the cells 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 happened, we must be on guard. if russia withdraws its troops, the threat will not disappear, go the bricks for the future are already being lazy. the topic is being habit forever and ever. no police. earlier this week, the u. s. secretary of state anthony blinking claimed russia was planning a chemical attack in ukraine either real or fake as a pretext for an invasion. president biden repeated his claim that an invasion will happen in the next several days. meanwhile, anonymous us intelligence officials have been quoted in the washington post as saying the russian pullback from ukraine border is just

a ruse to deceive the west. you heard from karen krakowski, a retired us air force, lieutenant colonel. she said, some people in government have vested interest in storing 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 the ukranian 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 us 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 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 of inflation and the global

response to cove it in order to justify their funding. 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 and mentioned, i mean, you know, this is a serious kind of risk. and i think it helps to 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 seeing things that make sense here. and again, i'm sure this, if you know how you going to, 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 in ukraine. run by the organization for security and cooperation in europe that has apparently down to safety fears. now, meanwhile, russia has said that it will not be taking part in an o. s. c meeting on the conflict called by q and the head of moscow's delegation to the o. s. c e explained the decision ukrainian, the requested according to these meetings and the consultation according to the vienna document of 16. no saying that it's unusual, mealy directv. we have normal plan,

usual military exercises that bella union results. 22 were announced. it in this in january. we are now sit 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 try out that there are allegedly be invaded. this is successes, they have these aimed. that's why we explained that. we cannot use of d n a document in this situation. it's an appropriate and we are not there. we can't participate in discussion it, sir. kind of, we're media not only media, it's so 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,

canadian police have tried to break up a protest camp in the country's capital and arrested several truck drivers demonstrating against to coven vaccine mandates. we saw for back for buses, hard load all the all the believe. we saw 6 buses. why not get ready for morning? there's over a 150 was police guards, prisoner transport wagons. there are 6 buses getting ready to load guys up, build up symbolizes unlawful operations, unlawful orders, because this is not an emergency. ok, great. now this is not in place that have to do more levels and they cannot act on that. they are acting unlawful and they're passing under unlawful order. the protesters resisting arrest where forcefully taken away by officers with several pinned to the ground before being handcuffed. one was protest leader chris barber, who was also searched before being placed inside

a police vehicle. the interim auto police chief earlier insisted that the protesters were not peaceful, and they did crack down 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 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's a deliberate plan. there's commitment and there's the resources that we now have in place to actually finally end this. the emergency act that is now enforce allows the government to ban the rallies and suspend protesters. bank accounts for up to 30 days. it is supposed to be invoked only if there is a national crisis, and the authorities are also cracking down on descent within their ranks with an ontario government aid losing her job after it was discovered,

she donated one $100.00 to the movement. opposition. lawmakers say that the prime minister is acting like a dictator. people lost their wages. citizens were harassed and 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. his plans are not consistent with fundamental freedom. 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 felt in ottawa, the prime minister trudeau accuses them of threats, violence, and hatred, and waving races to flags. and now the canadian banks have started freezing accounts linked to activists. if freedom convoy organizer in winnipeg told us the government's actions go against democracy,

it's very disturbing to see where the federal government has taking this and you know, and bolting 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 for 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 and 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 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 that 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 figures, theater star, camila valenda has been given a hero's welcome on her return to moscow from the winter olympics in beijing, a crowd of supporters gathered to greet her at the airport and the 15 year old had a smile on her face. a relief for many after the immense pressure she had been under the weather is widely regarded as the world's most talented figure stated. but the showing at the olympics was overshadowed by a doping scandal and she missed out on gold after a troubled final performance. meanwhile, the court of arbitration for sports has criticized the way anti doping agencies have handled the situation. saying the long delay in releasing a failed drug test was damaging for the athlete and other competitors as well. 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 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. 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. 1st of august did say that now the now broke the positive probe, which came back with allegedly, a doping test, a positive dog dog test off camila oliva. that itself, the procedure took too long and basically gave no chance for while you were to mount any kind of defense. it came now in the middle of the olympics on february 8th, despite the bro 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 our 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 time lines to any. 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 call 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 believer 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 boys them 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. a da 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 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 valley was fate. of course, this 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 at a different time. obviously, that is the biggest question right now. of course, there's no question about it that believe a will go to open her be sample. ah, 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 and 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. or that is a for me, this are, i will be back in 32 minutes with another phone. fresh look at, you know, this is arch international. glad with us. ah, it will be your eyes, bigger, forehead, smaller faces. all of these traits are very common and they're very indicative of are specific played within the filing genetic tree of life. and if we look at all of these drapes in the context of continued human evolution over the last 6 to 89 years since we became up for a walk, you nominate. and you can kind of connect the dots and see how they may just simply be us from a future time coming back into the study their own best. i was pretty shocked by

the railey. i knew the dollar was vulnerable and i knew the dollar was in trouble, but i didn't know the us dollar wasn't. this wants to travel that country like el salvador, as you point out, it's a $3540000000000.00 economy by them making big claim legal tender. what the senators are suggesting is that it threatens the entire us world reserve currency. the dollar of the us dollar had gemini will it's almost stopped raining. mr. mackenzie, my res, taking his sweetheart to a nearby carry o cuba. i live with
