1:05 am
thanks for worrying about us and our children in russia as waiting for us. thank you, russia. but there was still cause i'm leaving with my friends without my parents. my parents are in another city. the evacuation started when i was in the college dormitory. i want to come back as soon as possible because my relatives are worried and it is impossible to contact them. will a situation on a front line, bolton's? announce gilligan's cat intensive at in the recent days we are getting reports of us damage to civilian infrastructure. a couple of people have been wounded and i'm talking about so severely of course the, those who live closer to the front line who are we are getting reports of us sabotaged to our power station. and earlier in the morning, representative of the people's militia, the self proclaimed anesco republic said that a power station and a water pumping plant have been damaged by shelling and that endangered the supply
1:06 am
. all fall water says lease to 40 towns on both sides of the conflict, meaning both in ukraine and in the de netscape people's republic. now here in done this while has been a relatively quiet. we've been hearing explosions from far away, but on friday night there was what locals called at saras act. one a car exploded right next to an administration building of the city of dennis. the car belonged to the head of the peoples. a militia. i was actually about a couple 100 meters away from that blast when it happened. and when i came to the scene, i saw in engineers bomb sniffing dogs, and there were scouring their entire area for possibly more explosive devices. that place is right in the center of the city frequented by a locals, especially on friday night and on the weekend. and thankfully,
1:07 am
there were no faith salads. he sat there and no one was wanted. now. oh, i see monitoring mission are also working here and, and as they have been here since 2014, i was at their base on a friday. they're here in full force. well, they have also recorded for a dramatic increase in the ukraine. cease fire violation. so right now it's already a fact that says cease fire, violations are taking place. let's said take a look at what always c reported. in recent days, the o. s. c. special monitoring to ukraine has observed a dramatic increase in connecticut to vittie along the contact line in easton ukraine. equal to the numbers of cease fire violations reported before the july 2020 agreement on the measures to strengthen the cease fire took effect. now they both heads all the self proclaimed people's republic. sir denise por schilling and eliana, passionate said that ukraine's president vladimir zalinski is old,
1:08 am
but ready to issue an order for a massive or offensive. and this is why the evacuations are taking place. of course, the ukraine and authorities are denying all of those allegations and their calling of lee events that are happening here. russia provocation now once again as reporting to the ukranian authorities. meanwhile, people are still evacuating from the nist in logan to people's republic. the report at least 25000 people have already left there using organized transports. they're using their own cars on trains. now, the roster of government where these evacuees are heading there, they receive funds from the federal government of russia battle in rubles ends of those funds are designated for aid to all those of achilles. that will reach the rest of region, and the each one of them will receive a $10000.00 roubles of initial aid and that that amounts to about
1:09 am
a $130.00 you as dollars. now the refugees will be situated in camps and for summer hotels and other places. but her social media in russia, thousands of reports are pouring in, were regular citizens are ready to welcome refugees of from murder as mostly women, children and the elderly, of course. and they are ready to give their homes for this temporary evacuation. and here is just so one example of the russians of who are ready to welcome to refugees because of what he there are alarming reports that there is an evacuation from the unrecognized republics of ukraine. i'm ready to help a russian or ukranian family from those republics. obtain shelter food and get them back on their feet. people, please contact me. i'm right in this in every social network. i read it help you
1:10 am
contact me because we have to help each other situation is a relatively calm and i don't ask right now we will be walking around the city today and to find out what else is happening at the moment where i am right now. as the one of the i me points for an evacuation it's column right now, but at least a 100 people have already left. and of course we'll bring you the latest as soon as we get it. okay, will i see where you can glean that will be right back with you in the coming hours from now? the remind cosser of thanks very much across the atlantic. the u. s. president, given a news conference on ukraine saying pretty much the same as before. over the past few weeks, despite the shelling on the territory, the break away republics, joe biden says, keeps government is the victim of russian aggression. adding again that a full scale invasion is still imminent. over the last few days, we've seen reports of a major optic in violations of the ceasefire. i rushing back fighters attempting to
1:11 am
provoke and craned in the dom boss. 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 dom boss. look, there is simply no evidence. these assertions in a devise defies basic logic. russia said multiple times that it's not planning any offensive in ukrainian territory, although several russian officials did say that moscow would do everything possible to defend civilians. if you crane uses its army to resolve the conflict, the russian defense ministry is also been ready seen videos of troops returning to their basis off to concluding military drills. and he will campaign a. david swanson shed his thoughts with us on the ukraine crisis. 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 us 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
1:12 am
claims and was, was just not understood. 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 u. s. media is that there is not an equivalence 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. on top of that, us intelligence sources are being quoted in the washington post saying, the russian pullback from ukraine's border is just a ruse to,
1:13 am
to see the west. well, secretary of state antony blink and says moscow's planning a chemical attack. although he hasn't back that up with any evidence, art is more, i guess the explains in years past when up was up and down was down, classified intelligence was just that it was classified. so secret available to the presidents in secret services. but that was then, it's just fashionable. now, the united states and its allies have new intelligence that russia could launch an attack on ukraine. before the end of the olympics, we have intelligence that indicates that partners preparing for, for some kind of an invasion. the intelligence of missing today is, is still more encouraging. us intelligence says that it has information that russia is preparing what's known as a false flag operation to create a pretext for another invasion of ukraine. u. s. officials have obtained intelligence that rushes announced military pullback from ukraine's border was
1:14 am
a deliberate ruse to mislead the united states and other world powers. for officials said thursday, we have seen no evidence that russian forces are withdrawing from ukrainian border regions. russia retains a significant military presence that can conduct an invasion without further warning. you must have seen them dozens, perhaps hundreds of maps drawn by the pres, showing how russia would invade ukraine. men, december, that january, now february. and every one seems to have drawn them and dated them based on classified reports. they have come up based on intelligence of course. with the most fantastic scenarios, it could be a fabricated so called terrorist bombing inside russia. the invented discovery of the mass grave. a stage drawn strike against civilians or a fake even a real attack using chemical weapons. some have called into question or information
1:15 am
. but let me be clear. i am here to day, not to start a war, but to prevent one. in the past, they say we were wrong repeatedly, but trust us this time just trust us. we remember when american officials lied about ethnic cleansing in yugoslavia, village used to launch a bombing campaign on yugoslavia. we will remember when colin powell waved a vall around evidence of saddam's weapons of mass destruction. they assured us. and now they want us to believe that they not only know how. but when i sat here, an invasion could began a major military action could begin by russia and ukraine any day. now that includes this coming week before the end of the olympics, it would be pertinent if he hadn't been saying the same thing for every week. for 3 months, if west, that media hadn't been turned into a, a loudspeaker for war,
1:16 am
hysteria, which it has. and people everywhere have noticed, even the word classified has lost its luster. though you talk about intelligence, i think actually these and lots of gems from, from deeply sensitive agent reporting. this is a that what has been released the, the, the, the idea that i'm pushing might want to dislodge zalinski and replacing with a puppet government. these have based on a, on a growing understanding analysis of preaching rather than deep earth secret intelligence reports. these words, intelligence snakes, anonymous sources. they are all supposed to evoke, you trust. big people are saying this, i ought to trust them. it isn't just a news anchor reading off a prompt. it's, it's intelligence. someone intelligent must have had a role in putting it together. the sad fact is any classified report that the media
1:17 am
is fed was intended for the media. it was intended to be parroted and to be spread to make people believe. but they over used it. and the most remarkable thing has happened. people have finally caught on. most people who have surf this country know that you really can't trust what the united states. so says in terms of its foreign policy, we are pretty notorious for doing whatever we want and saying whatever we need to say to get what we want, we just don't have any evidence to support what the state department and what joe biden is saying. usually when the united states foreign policy establishment, the defense department, when they are seeking war or conflict and they're seeking to generate support for that. oftentimes we will be provided evidence of some kind even if it's fake evidence, you know, the access to our fate, satellite imagery, we're not even being offered that to support some of these allegations. you know,
1:18 am
well, one of the big things is, you know, the defense department has put forth its budget request. they want $800000000.00 to operate. and this is during a time of peace in a, in a time of economic crisis from the united states. and i think it helps justify their budget position. i'm afraid repeatedly highlighted that the westbrook promised to not expand nato to the east towards russia's borders agreement between the us. britain, france, and germany was recorded in 1991 document guaranteeing the security of the eastern european states. but the current later secretary general belief that no one in the 1900 made promises to russia about the non expansion of nato to the east. it simply doesn't correspond to the truth. such a promise has never been made. there has never been such a behind the scenes deal. this is simply not true. document refers to a meeting of senior american and western european diplomats in bond on march. the 6th 1991, focusing on the security of poland and other eastern european states of poland and
1:19 am
hungary signal their interest in joining nato boat. the u. s. and other members at the time considered that unacceptable. the german representative said in the document that the alliance would not expand beyond central. europe's alba river, which the us agreed to a senior german diplomat at that time. for livermore says that they were seeking co operation among european powers is doing it. i know i'm in a special situation here because in december 1989 i sent chancellor helmut kohl. the statement on the bundles were in nato and nato in europe, which was completely incorporated into the treaties on re unification. at that time, we were well aware of the problems we are facing today. that is why there was a german decision not to station nato troops on the territory of the former east germany. and to stop nato near the river odor. we will oriented towards moving very cautiously towards eastern europe with the european community and towards cooperation with all of them. but this policy of germany in the european community
1:20 am
in general was reversed by the famous wolf of its doctrine. in 1992 when hans de trish ganja had to leave us foreign minister, the eastward enlargement of nato began. since then, we've been on the wrong track, contributing to the justified impression in the russian federation, that the west is doing everything to kick the russian federation out of europe to build a new wall between the baltic and the black sea. and to be interested in the destruction of russia and not in cooperation with this great country where i just before we move on, we got some news in from eastern new crane that leaders in the a self proclaimed. the next people's republic is telling are all been there to take up arms to defend against an escalation by the ukrainian military. that's just come into unusual me in the past few minutes. ah, next then, canadian authorities of launched a crack down on the freedom convoy demonstrators. hundreds of officers in riot gear, some carrying automatic weapons broke up crowds in the capital,
1:21 am
while mounted police were also called into action with some using pepper spray against the protested. ah ah oh i. 7 protested resisting arrest with forcefully taken away by offices. several of them pinned to the ground before being handcuffed among them. movement organizes the interim or to a police chief confirm that a number of arrests were made during the clear out 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've arrested 70 people. they have been charged with
1:22 am
a mold with multiple various offenses, including mischief. work is underway by the city of ottawa to remediate and clean up the area that we have gained back today. freedom convoy organize a rick bull says the government's actions violate canada's democratic values. it said it's very disturbing to see where a federal government has taking this and, you know, invoking in the emergency for simply having the 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 our rights the last couple years. and now that the people have taken action and seeing enough enough
1:23 am
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 peaceful 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 i'm very disturbing. opposition lawmakers branded prime minister just introduced a dictator earlier this week. after he triggered the emergencies act to clamp down on the protest as reporting next, he is kind of open the truck drivers of canada. i have been protesting for quite some time. and now the prime minister is bringing the hammer down, while local government in ontario has lifted many of the restrictions. the federal government of canada led by just didn't trudeau, the prime minister is invoking emergency powers. bank accounts are being frozen. leaders are being arrested now amid all this unrest. justin trudeau seems to blame
1:24 am
everyone, but himself, for things getting out of hand. first to blame the protesters, if you joined the protest, because you're tired of coven do now need to understand your breaking loss. the blockade. an occupations are illegal, there are a threat to our economy. there are a threat to public safety. second, to blame other canadian politicians in an epic flop. justin trudeau singled out a jewish member of parliament saying they the poor people with swastikas conservative party members can stand with people who wave swastikas. they can stand with the way. i am a strong jewish women and a member of this house in the descendant of holocaust. survivors and i have never made to, it's never been singled out and i have never been made to feel less except for today. when the prime minister accuse me of standing with swastikas. i think he owes me an apology. i'd like an apology and i think he owes an apology to all
1:25 am
members of this house. and there has been an opportunity for trudeau to blame someone else across the border. as in the usa, support for the freedom convoy has been growing figures in the republican party have been critical of the mandates implemented over here. see the freedom trucker convoy as heroes, and they want essential workers in united states. it seems to follow their lead. and i going to say those canadian truckers are awesome. ok. and they're fighting for american freedom in a way we all should be doing the canadian truckers are standing up for freedom. i think it is powerful to watch. it is an incredible brown swell. it's in organic ground swell from the people like the canadian truckers are standing up not just for the freedom of canadians but for the freedom of americans. i support truckers because of the important role they have in our society delivering all our goods that we need to survive. but also because truckers are peaceful patriots who have the ability to enter tyranny through peaceful protest. now just internet has been
1:26 am
playing up before and funding of the protests, but what's not being pointed out is that a lot of this money isn't coming from big conservative foundation. what from private citizens? now the emergency powers act that trudeau is invoking gives him the ability to freeze bank accounts and cut off the funding as the protest is shut down. if you are a member, you know, approach our movement to donating hundreds of thousands of dollars and millions is always to this kind of thing. then you ought to be like, it's not only conservative. some leftists are speaking up and supportive workers on the job taking action against what they see as an unfair regulation. however, canadian officials see this as a routing protest that must be brought to an end. trudeau is yet to admit that anything he has done managing the countries and coded, as in any way contributed to the burning anger. the world is now watching on the streets of ottawa, if financial institutions, if banks at possibly payment processors become aware of people who are
1:27 am
perhaps donating to the go fund to be or have donated who might be providing financial resources in support of this initiative. the progress protest, they could be given permission, they are given permission essentially to freeze those accounts. or 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 is makes it very difficult to survive day to day. there is a system of surveillance and policing offered by the contract regulations. 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 tidy and less visible way of bringing protests to heal. then
1:28 am
we have seen it historically with the police. i think that this is undemocratic and heavy handed, and i think it is a poor use of the emergencies 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. cuz that's your news for now, you've got the app, you can get notifications on the go this weekend. as for the news team here in moscow will be back to up that you again in just over half an hour. see then ah ah, i was pretty shocked by this. really. i mean, 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 want to travel that country like el salvador as you point out, it's a 30 $540000000000.00 economy by them making big claim legal tender. what the
1:29 am
senators are suggesting is that it threatens the entire u. s. world reserve currency, the dollar of the us dollar, gemini, a democratic republic of congo is among the richest countries in the world and natural resources. but he can normally it's still one of the poorest cobalt is an essential material in manufacture batteries by modern devices like electric cars, mobile phones and computers, 60 percent of the welts, cobalt reserves are in congo for 20 percent of it comes from small scale mines unit figures confirm that in 201740000 children worked in cobalt mining in the republic to end up living and paying for schooling. next time you use a fancy gadget like a smartphone camera or laptop, and just remember that there's
1:30 am
a chance it works thanks to what child, how'd labor children like john michel, henrietta, all countless others like them or just they said, boom, but no one better show you care than burnt the board and i'm right of lemons in washington county schools that are past $1900.00 for the 1st time to do well, take a look at what's behind the latest gains and how long they're likely to last. last year. national engines continue to take a tool as investors show their concerns over the state of the world's top economy will bring you on the latest with the global market walk as.
