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 is it really hurts. i don't want to leave. we are worried about everything. we are very worried. our entire family is going to russia 5 people. you 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 armando, how he got to this current situation. the brakes republics declared independence after western backed uprising over through the government. and you have in 2014 stopped marked the beginning of an ongoing conflict with nearby kev control territories. so that's going to ganske or an eastern ukraine on the border with rushes ra stuff region where vacuum is being taken. many hopes they can one day return to their homes without the constant threats of shilling. pretty close on. but as i came here from dawn back together with my children yesterday,
1:04 pm
i was walking to work. but it's impossible. so much showing you. they told us about evacuation, and in an hour we gathered everything that we can and came here to. i don't want to come back, it's very dangerous there. i lived there and don't want to anymore. if done best forces are there, it's ok. but as soon as they leave valan bait immediately, he doesn't know how that out. they say if they get to our territory to don death, no one will be left. they won't even stare children, they'll destroy everyone or they want our land. our men won't let them in, that's what we pray for. and yet they are holding up. have been holding up for 8 years, not letting them in. so we hope we'll be able to return home, put the bill up because of us, it shouldn't be done if we had anywhere to return to you and that our relatives were okay, their lunch. when will my boy my grandchild? when we were under shilling, we ran outside and there was a shooting star. he asked me, granny, what did you wish for? and i asked him back, what was his wish? i did, he said, i want this war to be over sooner because he was 4 years old then i said,
1:05 pm
i wish the same thing to play yet. the war has been going for 8 years. now you more, you shall be let steady hood, but we're here at this vista children's camp that has been turned into a temporary refugee camp. it's one of many that have been set up across the russian region of a stove to basically house people temporarily that are fleeing from the people's the self proclaimed people's republics of danielle and logan's can see right here. there are some cars parked with daniel license plates, and you can see behind me that some people have already arrived. but this is just the beginning of the flow of evacuation. actually when we got here, we saw buses, convoys of buses that were likely intended to transport them to facilities like this one. we even saw people walking across the road that were likely coming right here because people are afraid of a potential full scale ukrainian offensive. they're afraid of a return to the heavy artillery bombardments that characterized the years of
1:06 pm
20142015 in these people's lives. this region is just one of many that have been set up across russia's russell region to house between 500700000 potential evacuees from the don boss region. people fleeing that area, rust of region has been put under a state of emergency, and according to the governor, they have a concrete plan of already in place on how to, how's all these people temporarily already they've established enough areas to house, 13000 refugees across the the region and they are have also appealed to hotel owners to help in the effort of temporarily housing these people. it's also important to note that this area already has experience from 2014, when there were all at that time. also refugees coming from dun boss fleeing the outbreak of hostilities between the breakaway regions and done boss and key of forces. another 27 russian regions, though, have also agreed to open their doors to potential done boss. evacuees and,
1:07 pm
and that number is actually growing as time goes on, is growing very quickly there. they've already said that they're ready to help out with food, housing, and anything else that people might need to live. we also saw a lot of individuals, russian citizens on social media saying they're ready to open their doors and help out for anyone who's potentially fleeing a, a war situation. of course, the people of done boss are very grateful for all that. but the main thing they really want right now is to be able to return home a lot of the of acuity to groups being taken to a hotel, some even managed to bring their pets with them. although others that were forced to leave their animals at home and he said in craig as they fled, the shelley in particular thus arrived here ne, my nephew, his wife and their son, i left my house, set my dog free. let the cat out of the house abandoned my own house and left my nephew. he's the same every one left at home because it's very scary that we traveled the whole night and day. the key is a terrible moving only 10 meters,
1:08 pm
an hour kilometer long queues, buses with kids standing there. me while the 1st train from gans to russia since 2014 is brought evacuees to safety. that way, local officials say the trains carry more than 600, stopping at 2 other locations before crossing the border. it comes as the head, so they don't bus reach it, and i'm stay a general mobilization ortiz roman casa reports from central finance. over the last couple of days actually the situation on the front line had indeed intensified. we've been hearing the sounds of a shelley throughout the city of done that. and of course the rest of the self proclaimed peoples. a republic was shelled as while it was all happening on the front line. the representative of the people's militia of the self proclaimed people's republic says that the ukraine is at ready for a full scale at war. he just on the friday night there was a blast,
1:09 pm
right in the center of the city, one, a car was blowing up a car belonging to the head of the peoples at militia. and when i arrived on the scene, there were engineers working. there were other cars, a park near by and we had to be very careful a while working there. also it's a center of the city, of course a lot of us civilians are walking around but so thankfully no one was heard. also what we're getting from the local press service, a power station and a water pumping plans were old, sold damaged by shelley. and as the results of nearly 2000000 people are now left without any water supplies. and those people live in 40 sounds on both sides. of the conflict. nevertheless, the leaders of both the republics have announced mobilization off armed forces in both republics. i'm actually standing outside o, one of the sensors where people are coming over to sign up. and this is what denise
1:10 pm
bushland. i said when he talks about mobilization aka coma booth to lead in your 0, 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 commissar yet 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, so organized evacuation the continues here in the net scan in logan's, people are using any means and necessary to leave those who do once a evacuated praying for private garza organized a buses. however, of most of the people who are leaving, that's women, children, and the elderly, of course, and they're being, ah, that they're, they're seen off by their loved ones by the men who are staying behind. now i spoke
1:11 pm
to some of them a little bit earlier, and this is what they shared with me. let's see of the world i am seeing off my sister, my mother and nephew, so you fair as 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 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. the number of those people who could be evacuated to a russia stands at around 700000 people a so far only tens of thousands. i'm actually taking that opportunity and gone to the roster off region. now the rest, they remain here there remain in their homes and to tell you honestly what we've
1:12 pm
seen on the streets of the nest. earlier in the day, for example, we saw a wedding ah, party. yeah, we saw people drinking coffee on the streets and well could on, on, could only be described as the courage. probably. so despite the threat of for full scale war, people are trying to continue on with their lives. in the o. s. c mean time the monitoring mission there says there were 870 sees 5 violations internet scandal ganske on friday alone. speaking of the music security conference early, you trains president blaine, the self proclaimed republics. sure, gonzalez, yesterday they showed some shells on temporarily occupied territories that allegedly came from our side. and then some shells have been shown even on rust off region territory. those are all provocations those allies, nobody died that no one is injured. that's just cynicism. but the statement that
1:13 pm
the ones shooting in relation to the people of don bass could only be made by a solar cynic given. how many people in the don? yes can. lu ganske republics have died over the years. the special our c monitoring mission is registering. shelling that comes considerably more from ts forces. perhaps that is why washington withdrew us observers from the mission, so that there would be no american witnesses. after all, they could accuse the government of lying and all over this of the developments the top level diplomat against them. so. so mounting off to the german chancellor shops is woods, follow his meeting with president putin shelf branded ridiculous. the fact of putin to describe the situation in dub bus as a genocide, russia's foreign ministry called the chancellor's words and acceptable adding the kremlin. we'll send a dispatch to berlin with information about mass graves in east and ukraine. let's talk about this now as martin dos around the problem with them pe evening, a very delicate subject. this should all have shoulds,
1:14 pm
but using words like ridiculous to describe such a serious top level statement about genocide. you think? no, i think this is absolutely not the way to handle this conflict. in this conflict, the ukrainian army grasping the dongle of the people at the experience of 2014 and especially in the background of 2nd world war where to 27000000. so union citizens had been killed by the law by the german army. we have to see a genocide to something very seriously threatening if the genocide to something systematically causing the suffering and causing walk, rising and destroying people's lives. and if now there is attention to the situation like we have in the border region where there have been shelling and well that serious science that there is a regiment like the also a regiment which is
1:15 pm
a passion regiment, be around that. so that tends to be allowed to warm up with general side. and i think chancellor role to choose in the wrong words and it's not very respectful to talk like for someone in such a for somebody is such a city position, especially bleeding the country and given the country's own history. will germans be surprised at his choice of words? yes, i think many germans too still have the stories of consciousness about the 2nd world war and to know about the conflict and the majority of the german people as well. no. in this conflict, their opinion is we don't want a wall, even there is a lot of propaganda with enemy pictures against russia. there is some kind of any live life that tell that russia wants to invade into ukraine. even want
1:16 pm
to in. this is a total funded medical blaming and the people know it and i think trans flush all shouldn't try to make some pro feel of a strong man in rural with like that he should be responsible trying to find dialogue instead of as john and i need to speak say, because doesn't it about the divide in europe with neighbors that are actually on the grounds kind of it's so close. yes. if we, if we look at the situation, it's really like a warning and we have a historical responsibility. when i talk with don metal, my talk with everyone is saying we see its propaganda, which is going on and threatening all europe. and i think the majority, i'm sure the majority of ukrainian population,
1:17 pm
the majority of the dumbass population and the majority of the russian population as well. they don't want more because they know what war means, and it's threatening all europe. and i think the natal states should start with aggressive rhetorics, and they should stop telling lies about some, some invasion, we should know, come back to dialogue. it's, it's really my time to do like that. and i only can appeal as a human list. and that's someone who works for peace since years to chose charles and as well to the, to all the politicians involved in that dialogue is the only way in the moment and dialogue, and the people who stop all this escalating doesn't matter if it's a language or real, of course, and really it's much more cruel than in language, but language is the cross way to bring forward something. so let's get back to peaceful language and i'll respect and i'm sure there are
1:18 pm
a lot. lots of people echoing what you're saying tonight, mountain dose, from the hamburg parliament, the m p. thank you very much. thank you. to have a good night. other development tonight. let me brief you on her moscow's own criminal investigation into crate in shelling with russia endangering local civilians. these the images of a shell that explodes as a kilometer inside rushes board is just a few 100 meters from residential areas. around 4 am. a civilians were sleeping, the air has been cordoned off as low force with examined the scene, no casualties there at least reported. other developments as part of the big drills have been underway. the last 10 days russia successfully conducted an annual testing of its nuclear missile capability. was putin overseeing the latest drills says could taylor gave us some more details on about a bit earlier. a sat a busy sat today in the kremlin situation room. while i'm imputing alongside his better russian count,
1:19 pm
overstaying those joint military trails of the air force as well as the northern and black sea fleets, all participated. but undoubtedly, the biggest crowd tour was practice launches of the intercontinental ballistic missiles. now despite the announcement of these drills, being and tough to fight west doesn't open declaration of war against ukraine. it's important to note that not only with a pound well in advance, but they also do happen on an annual basis. the main goal was really just to test the readiness of forces and of course, the reliability of weapons as latitudes and early himself. and he recently reiterated that no aggression him with in the light of the growing military activity of nato countries on the external borders of the union state. we jointly gave a high assessment to the our 2022 exercises that are purely defensive in nature. and do not threaten anyone. a crucial moment to add about this being defendant says images of nuclear warheads exploiting, or of course terrifying. but russia's military doctrine on this is crystal clear.
1:20 pm
first off, it does not strike preemptively on might, for example, the u. s. and 2nd need nuclear weapons are used only if and when russia feels that its very existence is on the threat. despite that, those ascii, i mean there is concerns that there in the west, particularly if you listen to what's being said, that the current unique security conference is taking place. well, exactly, i mean this form has to one and more than 100 ministers over 30 heads of state. lots on the agenda from ukraine to climate change from cove it to crypto currency notice be absent this year. and the russian delegates, partly because russian coven fox is yet to be recognized by the you. part, of course, because of this was in communication with the west. now russia might not be that, but it is still the topic on everyone's lips. unfortunately, what we seem to have seen is really just a continuation of the rhetoric of the last few months, which is some top wheel for diplomacy. it's russia here that have being the
1:21 pm
aggressor. but let's just break this down and look at the facts because moscow is taking concrete diplomatic steps to try and diffuse the current tensions. i'm talking specifically about the ongoing deliberations to get a signature and a legally binding document. that would stop nato from expanding farther eastward, and would stop it from hosting such troops and missiles russia. now from start moscow is consistent. he said, all we have wanted was for you to sit down and talk to us about all very serious security concerns. now to his credit force, johnson in munich said that he was willing to lay hooton's fears and give him a little lesson. and how kind, loving nato is. it is a piece school and a defensive alliance. and we are willing to work with president putin to demonstrate that point, and to give him the assurances that he may need. but it seems that nato teeth himself seems to be aware about this primarily defensive character of his military
1:22 pm
alliance. so if criminals name is to have less weight on its borders, it will only get more natal. i'm not sure how want it defends one's self by in suckling and not the country, but that is the logic that we are dealing with her. and certainly over the last few asked to, we've seen a pretty big uptick in violence in easton ukraine as anything we set on that while obviously, i think we're not surprised. russia's allegedly hostile intentions towards ukraine . our course front consent to hear, even though the covenant has consistently said that it has never had any plans to invade its neighbors. and even though it has withdrawn a significant number of those troops that were causing alarm along the border with ukraine, about full, those political big hitters and munich thought is not enough. the even goes a bit farther because our wild nato chief has issues with russian troops being stationed on russ russian territory. he claims that the presence of tens of
1:23 pm
thousands of his forces alongside, of course, around $6065000.00 us troops all over europe. ready, right up to russia's board of thought if they're legitimate and defensive. not just thought, apparently without them that would be no weld peace to rural wars on the cold war has totals. there is no real security in europe without the strong trans atlantic ball styling together in europe and america will continue to cheap to peace. walcott thank goodness for nato one can say, but it's not just the nature forces that operating down rushes neck. we've also heard from you s t p comment harris, who has warned of this plan functions package that will suffocate an isolate russian unprecedented manner. a sentiment was echoed by forest jumps and to it really does seem that for a conference that claims to be all about diplomacy and communication. that seems to
1:24 pm
be very little thought at the moment. instead, what we seem to be witnessing is really the latest installment of this almost war mongering hyped up hysteria that, of course there's been bombarding us from all sides. in recent times, canadian authorities lose a crackdown or the freedom convoy demonstrators. hundreds of officers, iraq is some carrying automatic weapons, broke up crowds of the capitol stressing video being showed online to showing mounted police, forcing their way through the protests is at some points. ah my oh my goodness. i got you dead with blue. oh,
1:25 pm
i. 7 protest is resisting arrest or falsely taken away by offices with several pin to the ground before being handcuffed among the movement organizes the trim, auto place. chief confirmed the dozens for rest 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 have 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 come by organized, rick wor, believes the government's actions, violate candidates, democratic values. i said it's very disturbing to see where a federal government has taking this and, you know,
1:26 pm
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 the last couple years. and now that the people have taken action and, and seeing enough with 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 rates are peaceful protest. that's the one last freedom that we feel we have left in this country and now even not to be stripped away from us. so it's very concerning and i'm very disturbing. when the rally is not just taken place of the
1:27 pm
capital, us truck has joined the canadian counterparts to again block the border between the country. let's go. the journalist unplug it. lauren saddler this on the board, and now lauren, the best way to live television. when i chatted to a couple of minutes ago to load the trucks, we've just got that min. so i'd say 90 percent of the trucks year have already left their headed down to multiple locations. i'm in joanne british columbia right now. top of them are going to be headed down to a road near the border that we have actually shut down to put checkpoints, the garage to ensure that no convoy, doctors go there to shut it down. the key in washington. i and then another group are actually headed to below the news, british columbia, which is a, obviously, maybe an issue that i've been selling to people live. they want to drive around there on to let their voices be heard. how many people i'm a holy fuck is just give us a do the scalar. mrs said it's 4050. so,
1:28 pm
but how many people are going to that use organization because scores hundreds. well, which way they went. but there's like about a 1000 people here, like i said, 90 percent of what you still got. you know, dozens of people across a plains all over the place. it's shocking. this is the opposite side of canada, right. this is the opposite side of rainy day. you still thousands of people coming out to protest the media and the government over this mandate issue. these are being known vall, it demonstrates, is the see the bank accounts below the emergencies that just been used as that goes down yet. so i was speaking to some people on the ground here, they travel from hours out to kind of just saying, i've lost everything i've donated. i've taken part in this convoy protests. 2 and now i'm not even going have a bank account anymore. so what do i have to lose? what do i have to lose? i actually physically mean for all views because has a read. does that with the money in their account is safe?
1:29 pm
it's just look on a practical level as it affected them. it was in for people that are partaking in organizing their co chest, so they can actually use it. but this is actually a personal accounts as well. so how long feel that they're buying? there? it has been extremely vague. whenever people ask direct questions to jackson, she's ours. christy, up really about you need to take account for using a price you need said almost nothing. it's so big. terrified that they're going to have their account frozen if they just gave to the go find me. how big about the home mortgage is their rent and food? that's an excellent question, and i think that's why you're going to keep seeing these protests. because because they're in 5 days, they have nothing to lose at this point. and if it's going to be a dangerous game, but you know, to play that he may squash the protest in order to watch, but he's going to have a crazy game, whack a mole across the country of other project is showing up and coming out saying fine
1:30 pm
we want to take everything from us. you want to take our bank accounts, our jobs, we're going to have nothing better to do then to camp out in whether it be kilowatt, toronto, ottawa, citizen, it's mentioned that are not going to stop lane or shine scary. well, lauren, southern jolissa blog of thanks to bring this sir most gruffly up to date. well, certainly there, sorry we missed the trucks, but i can, the contested either a heck of a lot beyond just a minute or 2 before we 1st chatted. a good it have a good day here. think well that saw t internationals, world news or dying from oscar with me cover don't say across all the news that we talk about. so from russia, a lot of headlines, as you will expect, a course at r t dot com get the russian point of view on this. as russia sees it 1st hand at r t dot com and from us as well on actual bullets in just about 29 minutes from now . thanks for checking in. in a very good evening to you. ah .
