3:03 am
call from a woman's husband. she asked him what's going on over there. and he said it's already started. she told him to go quickly into the basement and don't leave it on trying to the vacuum ease of starting to arrive in russia. 10 trains with tank. how's h a scheduled cross from the boulder from ukraine and to russia's roast of region? in the next 24 hours, auntie corresponded among culture of her pulled next from the nets. but we are in this re sofa done this where it does seem relatively calm, but on the outskirts of the city, heavy shelling continues and the head of the nest people's republic had already announced that mobilization for all men to join the army and thus starts protecting their motherland, this is what he said a little bit earlier in the day when he issued his decree, buck our coma books and letting out of it no matter what scenario develops, we will be able to fend off, keeps aggression. we must unite all our efforts. i urge my fellow countrymen who
3:04 am
are in reserve to come to the military. com, sorry it's today i signed a decree on general mobilization. i ask all men of the republic who are able to hold a weapon in their hands to stand up for their families. their children, wives, and mothers, earlier in the morning at least a 100 people left from this place alone butts. a total number of people who evacuated to the real stove region now stands at at least 30000. this is what one of the buses looked like. people i have their belongings with them, they are taking their pets. all that they can. now, this evacuation is as certainly, ah temporary, but so people believe that they will be able to return to their homes very soon. now spoke to some of those people a little bit earlier in the morning, and this is what they said. let's hear their voice. i am seeing off my sister, my mother and nephews. so there's pain in my heart. we will fight back, we will be invincible. i know that russia will not let us down. we will always be with them by heart and soul will lose the church. chris, i'm
3:05 am
a russian man. my wife and child are leaving to russia. we men stay here, of course, if necessary, we will defend our country, our city, our homeland, the most important thing is that everything will be fine with my family there. while the buses i hear and waiting for those people who wants to vacuum its a rush, the situation on the front line had insensitive 5. the representative of the people's militia, the self proclaimed on its republic, issued a statement earlier saying that a power station and a watering plant had been damaged by shelling and that threatens water supply to nearly 2000000 people. living in 40 towns on both sides of the conflict. now the always c monitoring mission are also recording a cease fire violations. and this is their statement from a little bit earlier in the day. in recent days, the o. s. c, special monitoring to ukraine has observed a dramatic increase in kinetic activity along the contact line in east in ukraine.
3:06 am
equal to the numbers of cease fire violations reported before the july 2020 agreement on the measures to strengthen the cease fire took effect. once they reach russia, evacuees will have all of their needs taken care of that will be provided food and shelter. in addition to that, russia's federal government had already sent an aid package to the government of earl stuff region in the amount of 5000000000 roubles. that means that each of the evacuees will also receive an amount of for $10000.00 roubles. that's equivalent to about $130.00 u. s. dollars on call sort of a while across the atlantic. the u. s. president has given a news conference on ukraine saying pretty much the same as he has before in recent weeks. despite the shelling on the territory of the breakaway republics, joe biden says, key ab government is the victim of russian aggression. adding again that a full scale invasion. it's still eminent. over the last few days,
3:07 am
we've seen reports of major uptick in violations of the ceasefire by russian back fighters attempting to provoke and craned in the dom boss. we also continue to see more and more just information made 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 he's assertions in devise, defies basic logic. russia said multiple times, it's not planning any offensive. new training and tara trade, although several russian officials did say that moscow would do everything possible to defend civilians. if ukraine uses its army to resolve the conflict, the russian defense minister has also been really seen videos of troops for it's heading to that bases self to concluding military drills. anti will, can paint 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 in particular from the
3:08 am
u. s. government, or where as 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 a, was just not understood. they didn't even comprehend the idea of providing evidence for their claim. see, you can't 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 as it has to be the russian enemy. people understand russia as anatomy, they've understood it since 917, and in this is, this is what is not coming through in us 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 and the united states would be making the exact same demands. russia is if the roles were reversed, like us intelligence sources,
3:09 am
also being quoted in the washington post saying, the russian pullback from ukraine's border is just a ruse. to, to see the west. well, secretary of state antony blink and says moscow's planning a chemical attack, we have them back that up with any evidence of these murat gas d. i've explained 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 and secret services. but that was then, it's just fashionable. now, the united states and its allies has 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 we're seeing 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
3:10 am
intelligence that rushes announced military pullback from ukraine's border was 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, then 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 drone strike against civilians or a fake, even
3:11 am
a real attack using chemical weapons. some have called into question or information . 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 wave deval 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 one day, an invasion could begin 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,
3:12 am
for 3 months. if west, that media hadn't been turned into a loudspeaker for war 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 that what has been released the, the are 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 secret intelligence reports. these words, intelligence thinks 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
3:13 am
a role in putting it together. the sad fact is any classified report that the media 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 observe 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 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. so you know, the access to our faked satellite imagery, we're not even being offered that to support some of these allegations. you know,
3:14 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 to justify their budget position. woke up repeatedly highlighted that the west broke a promise to not expand nato to the east towards russia's borders. an agreement between the us, britain, france, and germany was recorded in 1991 document guaranteeing the security of the eastern european states. but the current nato secretary general believes that no one in the $990.00 s 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. the 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
3:15 am
hungary signal their interest in joining nato. but the u. s. and other members of the time considered that unacceptable, the german representative said in the document that the alliance would not expand beyond central europe's albert river, which the u. s. agreed to the senior german diplomat at that time. val venis says they were seeking cooperation among european powers. i'm an especial 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 in general was
3:16 am
reversed by the famous wolf of its doctrine. in 1992 when hands dietrich ganja had to leave as foreign minister, the eastwood 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. on what other headline news and canadian authorities have launched a crackdown on the freedom convoy demonstrators. hundreds of officers in riot gear, some carrying automatic weapons broke up crowds in the capitol while mounted police were also called into action. some of them using pepper spray against the protested . ah
3:17 am
lou oh lou. 7 protest is resisting arrest. were falsely taken away by offices with several pin to the ground before being handcuffed among them. movement organizes the interim. also, a police chief confirmed the dozens 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 a malt with multiple various offenses, including mischief. work is underway by the city of ottawa to remediate and clean up the area that we've gained back to day. freedom come for organizer. rick bull says the government's actions violate canada's democratic values. it said it's very
3:18 am
disturbing to see where a 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, 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 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, 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
3:19 am
country and now even not to be stripped away from us. so it's very concerning and very disturbing. opposition lawmakers branded prime minister, just introduce dictator earlier this week, after he triggered emergencies act to clamp down on the protest as reporting next, his kind of morbid the truck drivers of canada 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 justin 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 every one but himself for things getting out of hand . first to blame the protesters, if you join the protest, because you're tired of coven, you now need to understand. you are breaking laws, the blockades and occupations are illegal. there are
3:20 am
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 to poor people with swastikas conservative party members can stand with people who wave swastikas. they can stand with pieces. anyway, 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 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 who had 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
3:21 am
follow their lead and i going to say those canadian truckers are awesome. i 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 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 foundations. 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
3:22 am
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 conservatives, some leftists are speaking up in support of 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, banks at possibly payment processors become aware of people who are 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
3:23 am
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 fun. it makes it very difficult to survive day to day. there is a system of surveillance and policing 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 tidy and less visible way of bringing protests to heal. then we have seen it historically with the police. i think that this is an democrat 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
3:24 am
tradition of democracy. ah, americans are more concerned about the countries drastically soaring inflation than they are about rising crime. all the cobra pad, demick silly, according to a new polish. just come out the u. s. courses grappling with the highest inflation in for decades, and that's seen as the most urgent issue for the public. we've more than a quarter saying 7, the survey and almost 60 percent of americans say the economy is getting worse on the joe biden economist. and also jeffrey tucker, says inflation is put politically disastrous for the democrats in power. i think that the inflation right now is a major cause for the unpopularity of the party, the that's in power. and we have one party in power in the presidency in the house and the senate, and they are bearing the brunt of all of this, even though none of them know what to do about it. so it's something like an emerging political disaster for the democrats. i'm not, you know, the thing that's
3:25 am
a little bit shocking about all this is that we had been promised by all the usual suspects last year that this to him flesh was rate was temporary, it was going to go away and everything would be fine. but that is clearly not the case. some prices are just going crazy. i mean, as gasoline random price increase, you never know it's kind of go become more expensive. you go to the store, your shock to the grocery bill costs 20 percent more. depending on what you buy, some things or become unaffordable, there's reports to people having to chain meet down and put anti half protections on, on beef. so this is, you know, this is becoming more common. everything you're seeing right now. traces to that initial locked down which was supposed to be too weak to flatten the curve. and it's turned into 2 years to flatten the american economy and flattened the american household finances to a critic say, jo biden's,
3:26 am
failure to properly address the issue, has undermined his presidency. americans have expressed deep concerns about rising prices of life with many struggling to put food on the table, biden's off the federal reserve to fix the problem. and it's expected to raise interest rates in the coming months. economists, richard wolf says the american economic system has reached a dead end. this inflation comes after a 2 year period. that in many ways has been the most difficult for working class. people in american history over 80000000 had been unemployed for some period of time over the last 2 years, some for only a few weeks, others for a long time. in other words, every family in the country has been hurt financially and economically over the last 2 years. that's the reality for them. now. when they thought maybe the
3:27 am
worst was behind them to be hit with an inflation that is as bad as any we've had for a least the last 40 years makes this an urgent economic, political, and ideological prices for the biden administration. mister biden's program is as risky in what it proposes to do about the inflation as the inflation is likewise, a risk. it is, there's no way to get away from this. the american economic system has reached out kind of dad and that's your new use of for now join us again for another update and just have a half an hour with
3:28 am
both. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation, let it be an arms race group is on of very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk with is too much. so she must not with her daughter a wall with
3:29 am
a couldn't walk over to one of them. id my calendar. i'm all chill now to go to lunch. one know. 1 your ah i'm nice guys, are this is the kaiser report and the we have got a lot to cover today's stay. see, hey max. in the 2nd half we speak to the vice president of el salvador. and soon after we wrapped our interview with him. the news broke from the committee on
3:30 am
foreign relations in the u. s. senate. this is remarkable. here is the headline rish menendez cassidy. introduce legislation to mitigate risks of al salvatore's adoption of bitcoin, us senators, jim rich of idaho bob menendez, of new jersey, ranking member and chairman of the senate, foreign relations committee and bill cassidy of louisiana. today introduce the accountability for crypto currency in el salvador. the ace's act legislation requiring a state department report on our salvatore's adoption of bitcoin, a crypto currency as legal tender and a plan to mitigate potential risks to the u. s. financial system. i'm going to read the next quote from one of the senators just so you see the scale of the threat that between poses to the united states dollar because here.
