5:03 am
we hope to return a year, we hadn't even reached the border and our compatriots called and said they were being bombarded. then we started crossing the russian border and there was another 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. i'm trained for the macquarie's is starting to arrive in russia. 10 trains with 10 carriages each is scheduled to cross the border from ukraine into russia's roast of region over the next 24 hours or so. i'll talk to him on culture off in the east ukraine. we are in the streets of annette square. it does seem a 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 des starts protecting their motherland. this is what he said
5:04 am
a little bit earlier in the day when he issued his decree bucket, cuomo, books, and letting it of them 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 are in reserve to come to the military commissariat. 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, heads of bold, self proclaimed republic self. legans can then that's called on their people to evacuate to russia as soon as they can to save their lives. we are right now, one of the meeting points where evacuation is taking place earlier in the morning, at least a 100 people left from this place alone butts had total number of people who evacuated to the roster of region now stands at at least $30000.00. this is what one of the buses loosed like people. i have their belongings with them. they are taking their pets. all that they can. now this evacuation is as certainly
5:05 am
a 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'm seeing off my sister, my mother and nephew, so there's pain in my heart. we will fight back 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 of christ. i'm 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 home. and the most important thing is that everything will be fine with my family there. while the bus is i here and waiting for those people who wants to vacuum its a rush, the situation on the front line had insensitive fire. the representative of the peoples militia, the self proclaimed on its republic, issued a statement earlier saying that a power station and
5:06 am
a watering plant had been damaged by shelling and that threatens water supply. 2, nearly 2000000 people living in 40 towns on both sides of the conflict. now the always c wanted certain 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 ofc special monitoring to ukraine has observed a dramatic increase in connecticut to vittie along the contact line in east and ukraine. equal to the numbers of ceasefire. 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 has 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 $10000.00 roubles. that's equivalent to
5:07 am
about $130.00 us dollars. caramark, also a fin. danielle esc across the atlantic. the u. s. president, given a news conference on ukraine saying pretty much the same as he has before in recent weeks. despite the shelling of the territory of the break away republics, joe biden says, cabs 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 uptick in violations of the ceasefire. are russian back fighters attempting to provoke and craned and dom voss, we also continue to see more and more disinformation made pushed out by to the russian public, including the russian back separatists, claiming that ukraine is planning to launch a massive offensive attack. and the don boss, hello, there is simply no evidence. these assertions in devise defies basic logic of russia said multiple times that it's not planning any offensive in ukrainian
5:08 am
territory. although several russian officials did say moscow would do everything possible to defend civilians. if you crane uses its army to resolve the conflict, the russian defense ministry has also been releasing videos of troops returning to their basis off the concluding military drills. anti will campaign, 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 any body, but in particular from the u. s. government aware, 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 enough, as it has to be the russian enemy. people understand russia as anatomy,
5:09 am
they've understood it since 1917 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 in the united states would be making the exact same demands. russia is if the roles were reversed. also weighing and us intelligence sources of being quoted in the washington post saying the russian pullback from ukraine's border is just a ruse to deceive the west or secretary of state. antony blinkin says moscow planning a chemical attack, although he hasn't back that up with any evidence of these murat gasdio explains in years past when up was up and down was down. classified intelligence was just that it was classified. so secret available to, to 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
5:10 am
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 intelligence that rush is 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 boarder regence. 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,
5:11 am
and everyone 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 . 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
5:12 am
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 says it will have 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 loudspeaker for war hysteria, which it has. and people everywhere have noticed, even the word classified has lost its luster. that 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
5:13 am
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, 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 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
5:14 am
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 that for the defense department, when they are seeking war or conflict and they're seeking to generate support for that. oftentimes we will be provided for evidence of some kind even if it's fake the evidence, you know, the access to faked satellite imagery, we're not even being offered that to support some of these allegations. you know, 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 for the united states. and i think it helps to justify their budget position. moscow's repeatedly highlighted that the west broke a pledge to not expand nato to the east towards russia's borders. an agreement between the us, britain, france,
5:15 am
and germany was recorded in 1991 document on guaranteeing security in eastern europe for the current later secretary general believes that no one in the 1990s 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. but then there's this, this document referring 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, poland and hungary, the time signal, their interest in joining nato. but the us 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, albert river, which the u. s. agreed to senior german diplomat at the time. philly. the nurse says that they were seeking cooperation among european powers is do i know i'm in a special situation here because in december 1989 i sent chancellor helmut kohl.
5:16 am
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 and the european community in general was reversed by the famous wolf of its doctrine. in 1992 when hands deatrice ganja had to leave us foreign minister. the eastwood enlargement of nato began. since then, we have 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
5:17 am
of russia and not in cooperation with this great country, and that his presence is not only unwelcome near russia's borders, it's also causing uproar from locals on the italian island of sicily. they're furious that the alliances live fire drills are damaging the mediterranean shoreline practice shall exact craters and the landscape of the plan to be anchor nature reserve. and environmentalists say the drills have had a devastating effect on the ecosystem, but vibrations from the explosion causing coastal erosion. local say, they've been trying for years to get the military to stop practicing in the area. ah, are other headline news now in canadian authorities of launched a crackdown on the freedom convoy demonstrators. hundreds of officers in riot gear . some of them carrying automatic weapons broke up crowds in the capital. distressing video being shared online shows mounted police forcing their way through. pret protested ah
5:18 am
with blue i oh lou. 7 a protest is resisting arrest. we are forcefully taken away by officers with several pin to the ground before being handcuffed among them. movement organizes the inter him all to 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
5:19 am
a multi 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 today for anal comfrey organizer. rick bull believes the government's actions violate canada's democratic values. i said it's very disturbing to see where a federal government has taking this and, you know, invoking the emergency for simply having hundreds of thousands of people peacefully protesting in this country is the exact opposite of what a democracy should look like. with our 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 be in democratic lee. 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 for last couple years. and now that the people have taken action and,
5:20 am
and seeing enough enough, because because our provincial and federal leaders, you know, they wouldn't stand with the people over the past couple years now that you know, we're practicing our, our race 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 i'm very disturbing. well, as we previously reported opposition, lawmakers branded prime minister just introduced a dictator earlier this week. of the he triggered the emergency act to climb down on the protest as reporting next he is caleb open, but 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,
5:21 am
justin trudeau seems to blame every one but himself for things getting out of hand . first to blame the protesters, if you join the protests, because you're tired of coven, you now need to understand. you are breaking laws, the blockades and 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 to poor people with swastikas conservative party members can stand with people who wave swastikas. they can stand with people who 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
5:22 am
to all members of this house. and there's been an opportunity for trudeau to blame someone else across the border as in the u. as a 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 get 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
5:23 am
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 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 country's ends coded as in any way contributed to the burning anger. the world is now watching on the streets of ottawa. if financial institutions,
5:24 am
banks at possibly payment processors become aware of people who are perhaps donating to the go find to be or have donated who might be providing financial resources in support of this initiative. the triggers protest, they could be given permission. they are given permission essentially to freeze those account, 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 than
5:25 am
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, right. a snapshot of what's really on the american public's mind right now. a new poll shows they're more concerned about the countries drastically storing inflation than they are about rising crime or even the cova pandemic. the u. s right now is grappling with its highest inflation and for decades, and that's seen as the most urgent issue for the public, but more than a quarter saying. so in the survey and almost 60 percent of americans say the economies getting worse on the joe biden. economist, an author, jeffrey tucker, says inflation is politically disastrous for the democrats in power. i think that the inflation right now is
5:26 am
a major cause for the unpopularity of the party in that same power. and we have one party in power in the presidency in the house and the senate up 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 a little bit shocking about all this is that we had been promised by all the usual suspects last year that this to inflation was, rate was temporary, it was going to go away and everything would be fine. that is clearly not the case . some prices are just going crazy. him and his gasoline random a price increase, you never know it's kind of go become more expensive. you go to the store. you're shocked to the grocery bill costs 20 percent more. depending on what you buy, some things are become unaffordable. there's reports of people having to chain meet down and put anti theft protections on on beef. ok. so this is, you know,
5:27 am
this is becoming more common. every thing you're seen right now, traces to that initial locked down, which is supposed to be 2 weeks to flatten the curve and has turned into 2 years to flatten the american economy and flattened the american household finances to critics. i biden's, failure to properly address the issue has undermined his presidency. the americans have expressed consent about writing prices for quite a while now with many struggling to put food on the table, biden's off the federal reserve to fix the problem and it's expected to rate 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 have been unemployed for some
5:28 am
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 may be, the worst was behind them to be hit with an inflation that is as bad as any we've had were at least the last 40 years makes this an urgent economic, political, and ideological crisis for the biden administration. mr. 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 dead and at tough times all round. that's it from me,
5:29 am
that's what we'll time for a few news this hour. we're going to keep watch on what's happening in ukraine. of course, a number of developments over the past few hours under pharma. we'll be here to update you on that in half an hour life from moscow. this is out interaction with with 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 much trouble. that country like el salvador, as you point out, it's a $3540000000000.00 economy by them making a 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
5:30 am
with their said, boom bus one business show you care about a minute down by the board and i'm right of lemons in washington county schools price it surpass 1900 dollars for the 1st time since june. we'll take a look at what's behind the latest gains and how long they're likely to last class international tensions continue to take a tool as investors show their concerns over the state of the world's top economy. will bring you all the latest with the global market walk and adds the crypto currency wave has swept the united states, the nation's got.
