turn yet scans against republics are located in east in ukraine, on the board with russia's roster fridge and the breakaway republics declared independence after west and backed uprising over through the government in key as back in 2014. and that march, beginning of an ongoing conflict between the self proclaimed republics and ne, by key have controlled territories where we can get the latest knack from east and ukraine cross live to out, don't, don't yet square roman casa, live is there for, is throw, man, we spoke didn't we just swore perhaps 24 hours ago and things tensions have risen quite considerably over the last day or so. indeed, andrew, at sanctions. i have been as have been increasing day after day a while when we arrive here a couple weeks ago. it has been, it had been relatively quiet, but over the last few days the situation had indeed intensified and there was an artillery fire can be heard throughout the city,

offered done nets and has been happening along the entire front line while the city itself ah, hasn't been affected by the firing a so far the outskirts of the city have been hit by a shilling. we are getting report so far damaged infrastructure. we heard little bit earlier from the representative of the people's militia, the self proclaimed the nest republic that there are already those civilians who have been of those who had been, oh, wondered, now. oh, the leader of don't ask and elegant self proclaimed people's republics. are saying that president vladimir zalinski is at her ready to launch an offensive against john bird on bus republics. and they've been no warning us citizens to evacuate as soon as they can to restore for a region. and so there is an agreement in place where russians will accommodate all

those who wants to evacuate for a temporary evacuation of it's not mandatory, but some people have been leaving already tens of thousands have a left for both la guns and from the nets. and we have been speaking to those people who were evacuated, who decided to save their lives after the warning from the leader. and this is what they had shared with me a little bit earlier. let's have a listen who looked at the city another. when the sirens started, the police warned us maybe who knows what will be there, who we don't know. we didn't decide to stay. we left everything our home our belongings. our street was shelled back in 2015 and many residents left. we hope to return the wound. you know, 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. of course, many of their vacuums are already in the roster region. they been placed in. some of them had been placed in the temporary a summer camp. so for children that were turned into refuge for the a vacuum. ease of the stream off of once evacuate, continues. i here in the nets and actually i, our crew. so working there in rossville region, also managed to speak to some of those people who made it across the border of from my dentist people's republic interestof. and they also shared their stories with us . let's take a listen. this is her voice. i'm seeing off my sister, my mother and nephew, so you,

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 and by heart and soul loose to church, chris, 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 homeland, the most important thing is that everything will be fine with my family. they're not the heads of both. the self proclaimed republic self for denette scanned, legans have announced a military mobilization in both republics and cold on all men to come to one of the mobilization sensors to sign up for the army to defend. as they said, their mothers, their childrens and other elderly as well. oh, we are standing outside of one of these a centers right now before talk about what's happening here. let's have a listen to watch their head of the dentist people's republic. denise push it and

said about mobilization earlier, boca coma with tonight, and yet of the 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. com, sorry it's to day i signed a decree on general mobilization. who can 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 huddled. now want to circle back to the intensification of for the situation here in jeanette sca. while there is no shelling in this series center itself, i was actually a witness to an a car explosion that happened about 200 meters away from me on a friday night. it happened right in the center of the city next to and administer city administration building the car belonged to the chief of the people, sir militia. ah, well, fortunately,

no one had been there heard in that sir explosion, but sir locals have always dogged it as a terror acts also the representative of the people's militia. ah, while speaking to journalist, he said that's a lot of civilian infrastructure was targeted as well by the ukrainian sharon he said one offer ah, power city power stations and a water pumping plant was damaged and that could lead to a water supply shortage for at least a what as many as 2000000 people will affect at least 40 towns on both sides of the conflict. so back to where i am right now, this is one of the mobilization centers here in the next. the mobilization should start in about an hour or so, and people will become in here signing up for the army. ah, and the people who some of those people, they said good bye to their relatives

a little bit earlier in the day. and let's have a listen to what they shared with us. or you said you're saying i do not know if there is hope or not that we will never give up or we're going to come home anyway and we're going to live anyway. i don't know where i'm going or where they will take me. they called and said we need to leave my name as to save my child. of course i would like to return. okay, we just lost connection there. roman counselor and he was reporting from east and ukraine, where as we've heard, tensions are increasing there in the situation does seem to be worth this to the time when just law yesterday, the leader of that region did advise people to evacuation since then tens of thousands of people have done so across the russian border into the raw stuff region. we will try and get a report from a 10 pre camp that has been set up as soon as we can. now ukraine has

denied that it is attacking dumbass, saying it has no plans to retake the breakaway regions through military means. and one government minister called the ongoing panic, a russian provocation. could you not me year, your brain is not an enemy to peaceful people in the temporarily occupied territory . 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 of this coming with informational support from the rush media. this information takes, which of course there's alarm and panic. we understand that russia's main goal to war will the same tone has been echoed by washington from president biden. recently addressed the nation over the ukraine crisis. despite the shelling on the territory of the breakaway republic, joe biden says, cab's 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 major uptick in violations of the ceasefire. are russian back fighters attempting to provoke ukraine and then dom boss, we also continue to see more and more just information be 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 devise defies basic logic. however, russia has said multiple times, it is not planning any offensive only training territory. although several russian officials did say that moscow would do everything possible to defend civilians if he crane uses its army to resolve the conflict. the russian defense ministry has also been releasing videos of troops returning to their bases. after completing military drills and to war campaigner david swanson shared his thoughts on the crank 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 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. and 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 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 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, what us intelligence sources are being quoted in the washington post saying that the russian pullback from ukraine's board was just a ruse to deceive the west while secretary of state and in the blink and says that moscow is planning a chemical attack, although didn't back that up with any evidence, his art is more, i guess this and years passed 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 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, 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, great. a staged drone 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 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 in 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. though you talk about intelligence, i think actually these and lots of gems from, from deeply sensitive asia reporting. this is that what has been released, the, the, the, the idea that i'm pushing might want to dislodge the lensky 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, 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 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 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. so, 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 from the united states. and i think it helps justify their budget position. ah, canadian authorities have ruined to cracked and on the freedom convoy, demonstrators, hundreds of offices and right, i guess some carrying automatic weapons broke up crags in the capital. and distressing video being shed online does show mounted police forcing their way through the protesters ah

with blue o . 7 protest is resisting arrest with forcefully taken away by offices with several pins. the ground before being handcuffed among them. movement organizes in trim ought were police chief confirm that dozens of arrests were made during the clara 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 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. freedom convoy, you organized rick bull believes that the government's actions didn't violate canada's democratic values. it said it's very 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 the last couple of years. and now that the people have taken action and thing enough enough because because our provincial and federal leaders, you know, they wouldn't stand with the people over the past couple years. now that you know, we're practicing our, our race a piece of protest. that's the one last freedom that we feel we have left in this country and now even not to be stripped away from us. so it's very concerning and i'm very disturbing. what position to make is branded prime minister justin true di dictator. early this week after he triggered the emergency zack to clamp down on the protesters reporting next his killer 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, 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 a threat to our economy. there are a threat to public safety, 2nd, 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 ways. 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 has 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 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 of dollars 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 find to be or have donated who might be providing financial resources in support of this initiative. the target 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 we have seen it historically with the police. i think that this is, i'm a product 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, now with the winter olympics said to conclude on sunday b r i. c team has managed to make history in cross country skiing with a fantastic series of metals reporting now from beijing. his alexi ships k. this the panell some a day here at bay ging olympics and it's a good day for team r o. c. alexander wilson of the sky representing russia, has made history becoming the 1st ever skia in the history to win 5 metals in

single olympic games. he became a 3 time limbic champion here in beijing by winning a 30 kilometer race with yvonne, the skin, claiming silver in a very tightly contested race which was held under somewhat controversial circumstances. i should say, because initially it was supposed to be a 50 kilometer, right. but you 2 heavy weather conditions in the john's uncle mountain class that trust me, i've been there, it is really, really cold, that the race had to be not only rescheduled for an early started, but also cut down from 50 to 30 kilometers. nevertheless, pushing off took the lead in the last quarter of the race and never let it go. you much can came 2nd. so it's 2 more metals for tomorrow's here. and with that achievement, we can all already say that russia is on, is set to break. it's record of the elliptic games in terms of the metals one here . the previous record of 29 metals was a set moment 30 years ago now. but clearly this record will be broken,

namely because of the ice hockey t mail ice hockey team, who won against sweden in a tightly contested match on friday night i was dead, was an absolutely not wrecking game. russia had to win it only on penalty. shootouts will be asleep, it was anyone's game, but russia prevailed and ended up in the final which will be played on sunday afternoon here. the last game of the olympics, just some 6 hours before the closing ceremony kicks off here in beijing and this achievement of tomorrow. see, can only be seen as a very positive one, considering all the toxicity and for all the team has been here for the last 10 days. now regarding the case of camilla volley, the doping allegations again, obviously poison the move for every one here. now come leave a has arrived safely in moscow match with a, an orchestra and also obviously lots of journalists and those who just came to support her. and everyone was applauding her as she made way from out from inside

the airports to hawk off. now obviously this was one of the dominating stories here in the olympics. it's now long gone. obviously will be under. we'll be seeing more of that case. later on it will be tried in court, said that will be reviewed in anti doping laboratories where you have to see the end of that story. but for now, it's a thing of the boss to we are expecting some positive vibes from the head of the russian and that became a cheese thing. his loft was nic off. he will hold a press conference on sunday morning. of course i will be there before going to the closing ceremony and i will keep you updated on everything happening here. in beijing. alexa rush asked r t reporting from beijing in china. that brings you up to date. that finance is coming up to half austin moscow. for back again and the top mm. ah i, ah,

i'm absent tanzania watching a special edition of going underground a so called nature, mainstream media breast se covers today's music security conference. this has been a week when the usa claimed russia may use weapons of mass destruction to catalyze a war in europe after wednesday's russian invasion of ukraine failed to materialize with the same nature nation tv stations that propagandized for interventions in iraq, afghanistan, syria, and libya sending that presented to key of the world. if you believe politicians like u. k prime minister or us johnson himself on the police investigation is now in a precipice. how did nato and vladimir putin let the.
