solution a ah, the self proclaimed republican lugens give hit by 2 powerful explosions, the latest blast in the eastern ukraine in the past 24 hours after a vehicle earlier blew up in the center of don. yes, got another self proclaimed republic end with molly. i mean, put you on with where you live them both and on. scan done, you can start a mass evacuation of civilians to russia saying people's lives are at risk due to ukrainian army showing the 1st process 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 a. this is probably against them, fakes and fiction. but the main thing is that people visit the space in the selves believe in what they say. if russia withdraws its troops, the threat will not disappear. the bridge for the feature are already being late with broadcasting live direct commerce studios in moscow. this is our to international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now we start with breaking news. this, our 2 powerful explosions. light up the night sky and the self proclaimed republic of logan skin, ukraine's troubled eastern region and gas pipeline is understood to be on fire and emergency workers are at the scene. the blazes said to be completely extinguished at this time, and local authorities suspect sabotaged to be behind both instance. the

blasts 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 lugen scans done yet another self proclaimed republic. sirens have been blaring since the afternoon in those regions with local leaders reporting shell fire from the ukrainian army the on friday afternoon school children were taken out of class in done yet, and transported to safety to regions. leaders as residential areas have been hit in a bum bard meant by ukraine's military officials in the don bass, the region in which done yet can lou ganske are located to have a used key of violating a peace agreement in place since 2014 the 1st parallel to their but you, molly,

i mean, when you were over, the line of cars is now filling up the road, heading out of done yet towards russia. but for now it's just women, children and the elderly. young men are being told to stay behind the head of done yet. it says it could start a full scale invasion of the dawn bath. any moment now, the evening explosions follow an earlier blast in central done yet where a car exploded outside the local government building of amman, coast of reports from the c all the evacuation that had indeed begun here in jeannette 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 the city administration

building in the nest, where a terrorist actor will 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 vehicle where an explosive device said detonated the vehicle, belonged to the chief of the people's militia, of the self proclaimed on his 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 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 or 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 all bought or 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, to 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. pushing in the head of the dentist republic had said earlier, we appeal or but i think you're gonna fill on the equipment that what if when the enemy shells the populated areas of the don? yes. republic. the life and house of our citizens is endangered, was so from today mass transportation of civilians to russia has been organized to live. well, 1st of all, women, children and the elderly ought to be evacuated. what, what was a little bit so right after dennis bushel in his, her, ah, counterpart in elegance, people's republic earlier need positioning also announced an 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 a mother and for the rest, he says it's better for her to go on a temporary evacuation it to a russia. once again, it's not a mandatory,

but it's advice to leave for 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 a in moscow, said that the kremlin is also observing the escalation here in don barza. and he called on all sides of the conflict to her to start a dialogue and soon solve this conflict with a 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 they come in here for 8 years since the company began in 2014 and the situation had really intensified over the past week or so. it has been rude allowed to 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 and, and as scanned in logan's, 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 our own patrol of but so 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 1st civilians from dennis collagen, 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, that we will be here to report it for you. as it happens. ukraine has denied that it's attacking the don bass saying it has no plans to retake the breakaway regents through military means. and one government minister called the ongoing panic,

a russian provocation krajina the year ukraine is not an enemy to peaceful people in the temporarily occupied territory that 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 this coming with informational support from the russian media. this information banks, which of course stirs alarm and panic, we understand that's russia's main go to law. they came and the same tone has been echoing in washington from where president biden recently addressed the nation over the ukraine crisis. with more details, here's our correspondent, kill them up and well, biden's 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. i 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 key of government as, as the victim, when the latest development is the 2 massive explosions that we saw, one in the cell proclaim republican dynamic and the other in the sky. so whenever you continue to present a narrative where the victim group is somehow resar here, some of what we heard over the last few days, we've seen reports of a major uptick in violation of the cease fire by russian back fighters attempting to provoke ukraine in the dumbass, we also continue to see more and more disinformation 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. hello. there is simply no evidence. these assertions 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. in 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 moscow send the military in and start marching toward kiev, 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 implemented and at this point we are also hearing concerns from 4th. then don, ask and to hon, saying that they anticipate that the government in here will be cracking down on them very soon. in fact, you have to take everything as a lie until proven honest when you're dealing with war propaganda from anybody but in particular from the u. s. government. whereas we know a couple of weeks ago,

a reporter for the 1st time asked for the slightest bit of evidence of any of these claims and was, was just not understood that they didn't even comprehend the idea of providing evidence for their claims. you can have a proposal as we just had this week in the, in the united states, from the president, for the biggest military budget ever with the enemy being a couple of provinces of ukraine. it has to be russia. even china doesn't do that, doesn't do you know enough. it has to be the russian enemy. people understand russia as an enemy. they've understood it since 1917, you know, and in this is, this is what is not coming through in us media. is that there is not an equivalent here. this is on the border of russia. it's not on the border of the united states in the united states would be making the exact same demands. russia is if the roles were reversed, the escalation in eastern ukraine comes midwestern claims of an impending russian invasion. russia's foreign minister gave an exclusive inter view with our tea thing

. those allegations are entirely false. yeah, we didn't. so this is probably gadsden fake some fiction to do 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 gung, but of course, all this causes a smile, no adult spirit predict lens and the cells every day. at the same time, the nato secretary general states that they have the foreign office also declared that no matter what happened, we must be on god. if russia withdraws is true, the threat will not disappear good ago. the bricks for the future are already being lazy. the topic is being habit forever and ever. no police. canadian authorities have launched a crackdown on freedom convoy demonstrators. hundreds of officers in riot gear. some carrying automatic weapons broke up crowds in ottawa while mounted police were also called into action to route out. any trouble makers,

some utilizing purpose there ah ah oh i. 7 protested resisting rest more forcefully taken away by officers with several pinned to the ground before being handcuffed among them. movement organizers, the interim auto of police chief noted in his statement that a number of arrests were made while the capital was reclaimed. we began making arrest the key individuals who were responsible for organizing these unlawful activities this morning, public order units and a significant number of officers were deployed to support our operations. as of 3 pm today, we have arrested 70 people. they have been charged with

a multi with multiple various offenses, including mischief work is underway by the city of a walk to remediate and clean up the area that we've gained back today in emergencies act, which is now in force, allows the government to ban the rallies and suspend the protesters bank accounts for up to 30 days. it's supposed to be invoked only if there's a national crisis. canadian authorities are also cracking down on descent within their ranks with an ontario government aid losing her job. after it was discovered, she donated $100.00 to the movement, opposition. lawmakers say 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 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. we spoke with criminal justice professor vanessa le fuller, who told us that the use of the emergency act goes completely against democracy. if financial institutions and banks at probably payment processors become aware of people who are perhaps donating to the go finally, or have donated who might be providing financial resources and support this initiative. the triggers protest. they could be given permission where they are given permission, essentially to freeze the door. it is designed to ensure that people who are actively protesting are unable to continue their protest from a material perspective. not having access to your funds makes it very difficult to

survive day to day. there is a system of surveillance and police being offered by the track regulation. the government has been able to exploit in a very creative and unforeseen way using it in this way. especially if it is allowed to continue will offer the government a much more heidi and less visible way of bringing protests to heel than we have seen historically with the police. i think that this is an democratic and heavy handed, and i think it is a poor use of the emergency act by the federal government to bring in otherwise legal protests to an end. the way that this has been handled is contrary to our tradition of democracy. ah, russian figure skating star camila valinda has been given a hero's welcome on her return to moscow. from the winter olympics and beijing, a crowd of supporters gathered to greet her as the airport and the 15 year old had

a smile on her face, a relief for many after the immense pressure she has been under valley of is widely regarded as the world's most talented figure skater, but her showing at the olympics was overshadowed by a scandal and she missed out on gold after a troubled final performance. meanwhile, the court of arbitration for sport has criticized the way anti doping agencies have handled the situation, saying the long delay and releasing a fail to drug test was damaging for the athlete and other competitors. this has been the results of the relevance unsaid, open bodies failing to ensure that pending cases are resolved before the olympic winter games commence had all been accomplished on time and in conformity with the time limits recommended by water than a decision on the merits of miss will leave us case and her status could have been made well before the game started and before her competition experienced. and that of other athletes was affected adversely. how does the caea statement fit in with

that disappointment last night when valinda went from favorite 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 and a positive dog dog test off global lever. 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 25th in russia. so it's b questions as to how white this a took so long. secondly, and that is a very important statement by cost that athletes should not be subject to the risk of serious harm caused by anti doping authorities. failure to function effectively at a high level of performance. and this is basically exactly what happens to a leave if you consider her performance last night. this is a very serious hom,

especially when it comes to my psychological state. and also, let's not forget that our cost is not ruling out that all this may have been a technical mistake. there is a probability that the unsaid opened. laboratory 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 timeline to. but 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 calmer there 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 of oliver was heavily lambasted by some of the mainstream media, especially in the west. there were people who were calling for her to be dismissed

from the olympics. there are people who are calling on the 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 believe which caused or an olympic metal. what about olympic chief lexia, 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, a center not about winning gold, but about the doping allegations. clearly that has a huge mark to play on the games. and you know what the i o. c, president thomas bock 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 earlier wines. 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 a bond from valley was fate. of course, that is the fate of the t metal team. gold metal? that's russia. figure skating team one almost 2 weeks ago. now the awards 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 that believe a will go to open her be sample. it may have been an accident as been confirmed by class, and i only have to wonder why the all those people criticizing and ambassador her all throughout will apologize when i have no question about it. when volley was found innocent in any kind of wrong doing, but of course i'll be keeping you updated on everything happening with it. or to correspondent alexia shasky. earlier talking to my colleague, collin bray. now. meanwhile,

international olympic committee president thomas bock said he was disturbed by the way volley of his coach attorney could, but either responded to the 15 year old performance, he described her reaction as tremendous coldness. we discussed this with former russian speed skater, savannah georgia, in my opinion, not really correctly to do that because thomas bach, he's ah, a good atlas, his olympic champion. and i really understand his knows how it's going in relation, but been coach. and often it said they, they are building during the money my, you know, years. it's not just one year one once. and they already know how they can speak between each other. you know, if really, personally for one, oddly it's, it's me then great be heavy, highly. it is not screen but may be pushed more than another one

that has a for me, this hour. i will be back in about 35 minutes with a look at your headlines. this is, are teaching. ah, i was pretty shocked by those really. i mean, i knew that dollar was vulnerable and i knew the dollar wasn't trouble. but i didn't know the us dollar, wasn't this, want 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 at gemini ah, life simply looks different when we look through the spiritually aware brain. we're absolutely far more able to bounce back from difficulty and difficulties are seen

as indications to move away from the stock read doors in our lives. open our eyes and say what life, what spirit guides are you showing me? now? this is completely within our birthright. in fact, we function better, i think looking at the preponderance of the evidence, i conclude that we are made whole and as we are designed to be, when we strengthen the spiritual core and bring that into all realms of our life. it's been 30 years since the soviet union collapsed long muskogee loader got a chill on to work upon nuclear. you talk so. so shown where your for trazadone one coil or thumb ukraine was one of the independent states that emerge from the ruins of a super bow doing or somebody would you also get on liberal greens come

a little, i'm sure they're gonna fusion from affecting less new issue with what is a is a social problem you, the viewer, this is for, but this is a watch of the past 3 decades. been likely ukraine. eye witnesses recall the events. this will be more or less of judiciary with what i knew the more tomorrow that order. i'm not sure, but it be about 4 months with no idea what else, what other forces were at play? you have to use the room, you show in sure machine the same you are in the kid what it i'm going to consume little bit when is it just shows us the most of the versions or at least take a look at ukraine 30 years out the gaining independence with almost unless, unless you mean like unity retorted mostly will. but

a will. it could be issue national stone. so for our join me every posted on the alex salmon show, but i will be speaking to guess on the world of politics, sport, business. i'm show business, i'll see you then. ah, it's almost stopped raining. mr. mackenzie murray is taking his sweetheart to a nearby carry o cuba. i will then probably done with

the heat match up on that. yeah, i can help me with with the law in japan with a never before getting married among 51 informal has never had a family that's one of the reasons the country has consistently had an extremely low birthright. in the next 30 years, japan's population may decrease by a 3rd mass production of marketing of a new generation of sex. toys of heralded

a new era of relationships between dulls people. with this is my you me, our japanese production assistant here in tokyo cheese, 34 and single miami's invited us to visit her home home. this house maybe just couple years with kelly. no. yeah, there's only one minute you're.
