7:00 am
designed to be when we strengthen the spiritual core and bring that into all of our life. ah, the head on this, i russia, conduct the military exercise the test, i think nuclear missile capabilities. i made an escalation, anything ukraine and continuing tensions with what people are fleeing and crying at the moment a mid warnings. the key as military is escalating violence in the region. evacuated have been crossing the border into russia. good for. there's such tension here in the morning there was an explosion again, let's hope for the best russians don't abandon their home. oh i. 7 am canadian authorities are cracking down on the anti mandate?
7:01 am
protest is with hundreds of police, deployed to the capitol, at least 70 people have been arrested with hello. can you watch naughty international this saturday afternoon? just gone 3 o'clock a moscow. russia has successfully conducted an exercise to test out its nuclear missile capabilities with vladimir putin overseeing, though you still get more knife me out a you stream and speak to our correspondent they're saskia taylor. good afternoon, she, saskia. just explain them the context of these drills because obviously they do coincide don't may, with the tension that we're seeing in the cry. well, definitely a pack to week for the russian leader almost everyday has seen him sit down with a different head of state. saturday proved to be no less busy. vladimir putin long side has been a russian counterpart, spent part of the afternoon in the crime and situation room over thing. joint
7:02 am
military trolls in which the air force as well as the northern and black sea fleets or participated. undoubtedly the big crowd tour that was the practice launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles and cruise missiles. now despite the announcement of these drills being interpreted by western meter, really to count him out to a declaration of war, it's very important to note that a not only what they announced well in advance, but be they take place on an annual basis. really, the purpose is just to test the readiness, a full says, and the reliability of weaponry on the issue of weaponry. this is a crucial moment. images of nuclear warheads in training might be terrified, but russia's military doctrine on this is crystal clear. one, it does not strike preemptively, unlike for example, the u. s. military doctrine and to nuclear weapons are only used when russia's very existence is on the threat. that said,
7:03 am
i think we can safely say that these drills were causing alarm over 2000 kilometers away in germany, where the annual munich security conference is on its 2nd of 3 days. now the form has torn and more than a 100 diplomats and ministers are the 13 heads of state of the events organized to say that there was never been so much to discuss that just one event from ukraine to climate change from crypto currency to covert noticeably absent any russian delegates, partly because russia's co back scenes are recognized in you. and partly, of course, you to the breakdown of communication with the west. one thing we can say though, russia might not be that, but it's still the topic of the day, perhaps on surprise. and what we've had so far is really just continuation of the rhetoric of the last few months, summed up it's, we're all for diplomacy. russia is the aggressive here that is despite, of course, moscow being the one to take very concrete diplomatic steps to use the tensions
7:04 am
around ukraine at the moment. i mean, just look at, it's designed to get legally binding agreements from nato, about no farther eastern expansion and the withdrawal of some troops and missiles from the european continent. it's set from the very beginning we ever want to do. we'll sit down and talk. what we've heard in munich though so far, is that no, this isn't diplomacy. this is just a huge ruth. to basically turn the whole world upside down. this is what the kremlin policies mean in practice, to instill fear and call it security demands. we are facing a blatant attempt to rewrite the rules of the international order while rushes and actually hostile attitude towards ukraine has also again, not surprisingly, been front and center even though the credits have consistent. you said that was never, ever on the cards. and even though it has in recent days, withdrawn a number of the troops that were causing a lot along the puerto with ukraine. but according to those and munich,
7:05 am
this isn't really, it doesn't mean anything at all. and in fact, it's none of this constitutes that the escalation it is not too late for us to change course. to step back from the brink. stop preparing for war on start working for a peaceful solution. so just to be clear, the nato chief have issue with the russian troops being stationed on russian territory. bought the presence of tens of thousands of bits troops as well as, of course, from $65000.00 us for says, all over europe, right up to russia's board has only legitimate and defensive not just thought without them. apparently that would be no wild piece to rural wars and the cold war has totals that there is no real security in europe without the strong trans atlantic bond. standing together now to europe and america will continue to
7:06 am
keep the peace. while it's not just nato for says that a breathing down rushes neck in her speech, the u. s. v p common hearts talked about an unprecedented planned package of sanctions that would suffocate and isolate russia. if anything happens to ukraine, it really does seem that for a conference that claims to be all about diplomacy that is, at this stage, very little of it. instead, what we seem to be hearing is just a continuation of the latest installment of this one was war mongering hyped up hysteria that we've been bombarded by in recent times. okay, thanks for that. that was our teaser saskia taylor, i mean, well, moscow has repeatedly highlighted the west broke a promise to not expand night so to the east towards russia's borders. an agreement between the us, britain, france, and germany was recorded in 1991 document and guaranteeing security in eastern
7:07 am
europe. but the current nato secretary general does believe that no one in the 19th 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. well, the document refers to a meeting of senior american and western european diplomats. in born on march, the 6th in 1991, focusing on the security of poland and other eastern european states, poland and hungary signal their interest in joining nato. but the us and other members at the time considered that to be unacceptable. that young representative said in the document that the lines would not expand beyond central europe's ell river, which the us agreed to senior german diplomats at the time when he bimmer says they were seeking cooperation among european powers. even yet, i know i'm in
7:08 am
a special situation here because in december 1989 i sent chancellor helmut kohl stipend on the bundles in nato and nato in europe, which was completely incorporated in the treaties on re unification. about time we will 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. we will oriented towards moving very cautiously toward the eastern europe with the european community and towards cooperation with all of them. for this policy of germany in the european community in general was reversed by the famous wolf of its dock train in 1992. when hands deatrice kamesha had to leave as foreign minister the eastwood acknowledgement of night. so began since then we've been on the wrong track, contributing to the justified impression in the russian federation. at the west is doing everything to kick the russian federation out of europe to build
7:09 am
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. okay, well let's go back to the ukraine crisis there because sense of people are being evacuated from the self proclaimed dumbass republics in east and ukraine after officials warned that he could attack them at any moment with both sides. reporting frequent shelling across the front lines. odin school was no finish is our 1st in line to be rescued with the latest. we'll finish being evacuated from and again, screech and the children have been taken onto a bus that will drive them to safety. in russia, women and the elderly also have priority status in the move diversity. we're going to russia running away from the shelling with my wife and our daughter and granddaughter. i hope they'll meet us and receive us, which it really hurts. i don't want to leave. we are worried about everything. we
7:10 am
are very worried our entire family is going to russia 5 people can believe there's such a tension here in the morning. there was an explosion again, let's hope for the best russians don't abandon their own. what have you, some background, the self proclaimed annette and against republics, are located in eastern ukraine on the board with thrushes, rosco frazier. and the breakaway republics declared independence after western backed up prizing, overthrew the government in kiev, back in 2014. and that march beginning of an ongoing conflict between the self proclaimed republics and nearby kiev controlled territories. let's get the latest then from east the ukraine because we're joined by a roman coastal, if he was there. and the self proclaimed in yet republic. but also that we can speak with in a short while, we don't core to because he's at a temporary camp for the evacuation just over the border in russia. actually don, okay. he 1st because as we understand,
7:11 am
thousands of people are making their way across the russian border. just described to a sudden the situation at the camp where you are by their andy. well yeah, we're here right now at those vis dot children's camp that has become a camp for evacuees. it's one of actually many locations that have been organized to temporarily house people fleeing the don boss region here in the russian region of ross stalls. now, as you can see behind me, there's police and there have been a number of people coming and going from this from this area here. we've seen a lot of license plates that show that they've been coming most mostly from the self proclaimed people's republic of danielle, on our way here. we also saw a number of bus convoys likely intended to help in the transport effort. we saw a number of people even walking by foot. a lot of a many groups of people that were likely these evacuees trying to reach one point
7:12 am
or another that had been transformed into these basically temporarily temporary housing centers for evacuation. it's been mostly like you said of, you know, children and women, they've been giving priority and we've seen mostly families here so far. i'm a lot of children we've seen. and earlier, we also heard from some of the evacuees about, you know, the kind of terrible situation of having to leave your home because of war, a war time situation. let's take a listen to what they said. now you look at this again with the when the sirens started, the police warned us he who knows what will be there. we don't know. we didn't decide to stay. we left everything our home. our belongings with our street was shelled back in 2015 and many residents left. we hope to return lu. yeah, we hadn't even reached the border and our compatriots called and said they were
7:13 am
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 tell him to go quickly into the basement and don't leave it on . i was so while we're still on russian territory right now, it's of course very calm. but as you heard by from those people about their stories, people are afraid of a full scale ukrainian offensive. they're afraid of a return to the heavy artillery bombardments that characterized. unfortunately, the years of 201420154 the vast majority of people in the south current self proclaimed people's republics of wagons. convenience. okay, well let's get the picture then initially kind because a roman cost that i have is there for us. and then yes, good afternoon to you out. oh man. tensions that have escalated, haven't may significantly, over the last 24 hours. the sun absolutely has been more than 24 hours since
7:14 am
the situation on the front line here in the nest people's republic had intensified . an artillery fire can be heard all throughout the city. and of course, in other parts of the self proclaimed genetic people's republic. now, while it's mostly happening along the front line, we're hearing reports from the representative of that people's militia here in the people's republic of that there are already casualties among civilians. some have been killed and sorry, been wounded if, according to the representative of the year people's militia, he also said that there are up to 25 mobiles. special forces groups on the ukrainian side that are ready to organize that terrorist took over terrorist acts on the territory of the dentist peoples republic of well, those words. so they did resonate with the people here as there was a massive explosion in the city of fargo. nets on friday night actually took place
7:15 am
just a couple of 100 meters away from me when a car blew up near and the city administration building the car belonged to the head of the people's militia here and ask. there were no victims of there. fortunately, but engineers came to the see list, searched the entire port where this building was situated, they didn't find anything else. meanwhile, once again, according to the people's militia, how civilian infrastructure had been damaged a here as well and main, mainly a power station. and the water pumping plans were destroyed by shelling and left nearly 2000000 people in the 40 different towns on both sides of the conflict without a water. now, a ukrainian officials, they're denying that any such things are taking ah place or they're denying any
7:16 am
kind of escalation, any kind of a cease fire of violation. meanwhile, following the announcements of the evacuation from both the nets come against people's republics. both of the leaders said denise pushin and then it passed passage naked logan's can the genetics announced that mobilization of armed forces forces in both republics? and that's where i am right now at one of the mobilization centers less here now from the leader of the dentist sell for a clean republic, denise bushland. buck rama booth tonight. in your view, no matter what scenario develops, we will be able to fend off key of aggression. we must unite all our efforts. i urge my fellow countrymen who are in reserve to come to the military commissar. it's to day 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. all the people are continuing to evacuate. so from done that sca
7:17 am
evacuation began on fridays continued throughout saturdays, it's a saturday, it's not going to stop is going to continue for as long as needed. people are using their own cars. a boss says trains. what have you had the moments had sands of thousands of people have already crossed the line with the, with russia. and mostly it's women, children, of course. so the elderly, the men, most of the men have decided to stay and, and now they're coming to these kinds of mobilization. a centers to sign up for the army were spoke to some of the people who saw their families off to russia, but stayed behind the super bowl. i am 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 by heart and soul will lose the child, chris, i am

7:19 am
a good the word to describe what's happening. and of course people the ones who stay, it's the weekends and so they're also outside of walking around. so you know, well, situation is alarming. people are still trying to live their lives just like before i came. thank sir for that, remain less just return. and to that, say vacuuming camp that's been set up in rural stove in russia. don't quote or is that done? i'm just looking ahead if circumstances for small people to play east ukraine, more sort of numbers. would we be talking about and how could rusher actually cope with that influx? well, like roman said, it's around at least $700000.00 people who are expected to be evacuating done boss . that is a big number, but the authorities, like i said, this is only one of many locations that the rust of regional government has set up
7:20 am
to temporarily house and take care of people that are fleeing that area. and the regional government has declared a state of emergency we heard from the governor. he said that it had that the, the authorities have concrete plans to actually housed these people right now. they're ready for at least $13000.00 refugee. but that number is, of course, increasing as the authorities continue to rapidly develop their work. and they've also appealed to a hotel owners to actually help in the effort. it's also important to note that the regional government here already has experienced a housing and helping evacuees from back in 2014 when the outbreak of are still at ease took place. between the self proclaimed peoples republics of danielle can lugens and the ukrainian armed forces under the control of kiev. we also heard that russia's national emergency services have been deployed here to help out. and that's a big organization that can really do a lot in terms of, you know, making sure that these people are living in humane conditions. and it's not just at
7:21 am
a stove, actually, that is willing to help out. it is the main region, but another 27 russian regions have said that they're ready to open their doors to don boss evacuees and that number is only growing as time goes on there also, they said they're ready to help with food money, whatever these people needs to live here in russia wall, it's not safe and on boss. and we also heard that we, we've also seen many individual russian citizens on the internet posting on social media that they're willing to open their, the doors of their own homes to these people as long as they need to make sure that they're, they're able to survive through through this period and of course the people of dunbar that are fleeing this, these war time conditions. they're grateful for that. but the main thing of course is that they want to return home. is my yes, not yours. they. i do not know if there is help or not that we will never give up doors. we're going to come home anyway and we're going to live anyway. i don't know

7:25 am
believes that the government's actions de violate canada is to democratic values. i said it's very disturbing to see where the federal government has taking this and, you know, invoking 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, 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,
7:26 am

7:27 am
7:28 am
oh. 1 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 foreign relations in the u. s. senate. this is remarkable. here is the headline british 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 account ability for crypto currency in el salvador. the ace's act legislation
7:29 am
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, the scale of the threat that between poses to the united states dollar. because here el salvador is like a $2530000000000.00 economy. and they're saying this about bit queen as legal tender here, el salvador, adoption of bitcoin as legal tender raises significant concerns about the economic stability and financial integrity of a vulnerable u. s. trading partner in central america said rish, this new policy has the potential to weaken us sanctions, policy and powering malign actors like china and organized criminal organizations. our bipartisan legislation segues greater clarity on el salvadoran policy and
7:30 am
requires the administration to mitigate potential risk to the u. s financial system and they go on to actually say it undermines the role of the us dollar as reserve currency. right. 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 was in this much trouble. that country like salvatore. as you point out, it's a $3540000000000.00 economy by then making big claim legal tender. what the senators are suggesting is that a threatens the entire u. s. world reserve currency, the dollar, the us dollar had gemini, and that can only be true if the united states dollar and it satellite client states around the world are engaged in the massive pansies game like burning.
