3:05 pm
ok. their lunch is 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? he said, i want this war to be over sooner because he was 4 years old. then i said, i wish the same thing get the war has been going for 8 years now. you more shall be less well than $20000.00 people have already been evacuated from the self proclaimed on that scale against republics to southern russia. since the rescue operation began on friday, i'll see the course is it. one of the locations evacuees are being taken to russian region of russell is under a state of emergency. and the authorities have set up zones all over the region to accommodate the expected 700000 evacuation coming from the don bus region of eastern ukraine. and one of the things that the regions governor asked was for the owners of hotels in the region to help out in the accommodation process. and as you can see here, this hotel that we're staying in is no exception behind me. you can see
3:06 pm
a number of evacuees from the don bus region that have already made their way into russ stove. they're right now checking into the hotel and there's another part of the hotel where they're already trying to give monetary compensation to these people that are coming to russia as evacuees. they don't know how long they're gonna be here. they don't know what's going to happen if there's going to be a ukrainian invasion or not. but as, as for right now, this is their reality. ah, with 34 of us arrived here. me, 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 laughed my nephew. she's the same. everyone left their homes because it's very scary there. we travelled the whole night and day the cues a terrible moving only 10 meters, an hour kilometer long queues, bosses with kate standing there. meantime,
3:07 pm
the 1st train from la ganske to russia since 2014 the support of vacuum to safety as well. local officials say that trains carry more than 600 people stopping at 2 other locations before crossing the border. it comes as the heads of the don bus region announced a general mobilization to not his roman cultural reports from central done it. over the last couple of days actually the situation on the front line had indeed intensified. we've been hearing the sounds of for shelling throughout the city of her done that of course the rest of the self proclaimed peoples a republic was a shell as well. it was all happening on the front line. the representative of the people's militia of the self proclaimed people's republic has said that the ukraine is ready for a full scale of war. he had just on a friday night. there was a blast frighten in a sensor of this city. one a car was blowing up
3:08 pm
a car belonging to the head of the people as it militia. and when i arrived on the scene, they were engineers working. there were all their cars up park nearby and we had to be very careful a while working there. oh, so it's a center of the city, of course a lot of us civilians are walking around but so thankfully no one no was heard. also what we're getting from the local press service, a power station, the and a water pumping plans were old, sold damaged by shelley. and as the results, 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 of armed forces in both republics. i'm actually standing outside o fall, one of the sensors where people are coming over to sign up. and this is what denise bushland,
3:09 pm
i said when he talks about mobilization aka 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 commerce, sorry it's today. i signed a decree on general mobilization, i ask all men of the republic who are able to hold a weapon in their hands to stand up for their families. their children, wives and mothers, so organized evacuation, the continues here in the net scanned in logan's, people are using any means unnecessary to leave those who do one se evacuated trains of private cars 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 out there, they're seen off by their loved ones by the men who are staying behind. now i spoke to some of them a little bit earlier,
3:10 pm
and this is what they shared with me. the world i am seeing off my sister, my mother and nephew, so you fares 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 to children. 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 there. the number of those people who could be evacuated to a russia stands at around 700000 people so far. only tens of thousands have actually taken that opportunity and gone to the roster region. now the rest, they remain here, there remain in their homes and try to sell you honestly what we've seen on the streets of the nest. earlier in the day, for example, we saw
3:11 pm
a wedding party and we saw people drinking coffee on the streets and will, could long on could only be described as a courage probably. so despite the threat of full scale war, people are trying to continue on with their lives and use them for the o. s. c monitoring machine, they're saying there were 870 c's far violations in doing that. can lou ganske on friday alone? speaking at the me, the security code from seller on ukraine's president played the self proclaimed republics. sure. 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. and those are all provocations those allies, nobody died that no one is injured. that's just cynicism. they're such a high level cynicism that they a shilling themselves. they themselves shooting at the territory. they control the
3:12 pm
statement, they're 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 o s. 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 there. there's a top level diplomatic incident brewing her around the german chancellor, all of shoals following his meeting with president putin shelf branded, ridiculous. he said, the fact that potent described the situation in dumbasses genocide, russia's foreign ministry called the chancellors response unacceptable. adding criminal will send a dispatch now to berlin with information about mass graves in eastern ukraine, jovan regional m. p. martin doles had told me she should have been more careful
3:13 pm
over such a sensitive issue. this is absolutely not the way to handle this conflict. in this conflict, the ukrainian army, grasping the dongle, the people have the experience of 2014. we have to see a general size. it's something very serious. i mean, it's the general size. it's something systematically causing the suffering and causing walk rise and destroying people's lives. and if now there is a tension situation like we have in the border region where there have been showing chancellor role to choose in the wrong words. and it's not very respectful to talk like trans flush, all shouldn't try to make some pro feel of a strong man and with words like that. he should be responsible. try to find dialogue instead of escalating inverse these to that most goes over to criminal investigation to cranium. shelly that hit russia endangering local civilians.
3:14 pm
images of a shell that exploded a kilometer inside russia's board is just a few 100 meters residential areas around 4 in the morning when civilians are sleeping. the air has been cut off as long foresman examines the seat of russia successfully conducted an annual testing of its nuclear missile capabilities was i did my poach and i was seeing the latest drills south cattail, a told andrew found me more about it, a satiny a busy sat today in the kremlin situation room was a long side, his better washing counterpart, overseeing those joint military trills. i'll be at force as well as the northern and black sea fleets or participated. but undoubtedly, the biggest crowd taura those practice launches of the intercontinental ballistic missiles. now despite the announcement of these drills being and talk to by the west as an open declaration of war against ukraine, it's important to note that not only with a pound well in advance,
3:15 pm
but they also to happen on an annual basis. the main goal was really just to test the readiness of forces. and of course, the reliability of weapons and flatter putin, ernie himself. and he recently reiterated, there's no aggression him what the, what it is. if the 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 allied 2022 exercises that are purely defensive in nature and do not threaten anyone. a crucial moment to add about this being defensive images of nick can warheads, exploding, or of course terrifying, but rushes military doctrine on this is crystal clear. first off, it does not strike preemptively on like, for example, the u. s. and 2nd, meet nuclear weapons are used only if and when russia feels that the very existence is on the threat. despite that those saskia, i mean there is concern, isn't there in the west, particularly if you listen to what's being said. that the current unique c curacy conference is taking place. well, exactly, i mean this form has drawn it more than 100 ministers over thought he had of state
3:16 pm
lots on the agenda from ukraine to climate change from covert to crypto currency notice be absent this year. and the russian delegates, partly because washington box in viet to be recognized by the u party. 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 on. fortunately, what we seem to have seen is really just a continuation of the rhetoric of the last few months, which is something to up will for diplomacy. it's russia here that is being the 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 for the eastward and would stop it from hosting some troops and missiles and russia. now from the
3:17 pm
start, moscow is consistent. he said, we have wanted with you to sit down and talk to us about all very serious security concerns. not to his credit for his johnson in munich, said that he was willing to lay puritans fears and give him a little lesson. and how kind and loving nato is, is a 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 the nato chief himself seems to be aware about this, primarily defendant says character of his military lines. so if kremlin name is to have less nato on his borders, it will only get more natal not, not sure how want to spend one self buy in start playing and not the country, but that is the logic that we are dealing with him. and certainly over the last few as to we've seen a pretty big uptake in violence in east in ukraine. think me settle mat while
3:18 pm
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 fall stephen goes a bit farther. because while benito chief has issues with russian troops being stationed on russia, russian territory, he claims that the presence of tens of thousands of his forces alongside of course, we're on 6065000 us troops all over europe. ready, right up to russians, borders that is legitimate and defendant said not just thought apparently without them that would be no world peace to rule wars and the cold warrior has totals. there is no real security near without the strong trans atlantic ball
3:19 pm
standing together in europe. and america will continue to keep the peace while good, don't goodness for nato one can say, but it's not just the nature forces that are breathing down rushes next. we've also heard from us the camera harris, who has warned of this planned functions package that will suffocate an isolate russian unprecedented manner. a sentiment was echoed by forest johnson too. it really does seem that for a conference that claims to be all about diplomacy and communication. that seems to 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 5 in recent times, talks about it civil war to with former senior pentagon security policy analysts, mike maloof, he told me, natal appears to be engaging in the very behaviors accusing russia of i don't think
3:20 pm
the russians are planning any expansion anywhere. but nato certainly is. and nato is, is being defiant. it, that's unfortunate. and it's bringing about the greater instability in the region as far as i'm concerned. and as far as other observers are concerned because it, it's define certain rules that were laid out years ago about indivisibility for of security, for both countries. namely, that security in one area will not be bolstered at the expense of the other. and that's what we're seeing right now. and with these exercises that we're now seen by russia, which are annual. but in that, in that area, i think it's is to demonstrate that there are areas where the united states, particularly and russia can negotiate. particularly on intermediate range,
3:21 pm
missiles and, and, and creating buffers. buffer zones for out true for trip deployments, as well as over flights of strategic bombers as well as ships in the black sea. and we're not seeing any of that. and, and you have stoughton burg, who's a rent. randy on about that nato is, is necessary as a defense of not the big sort of across night. canadian thought his launch to crack down on the freedom convoy demonstrate his hundreds of officers and right get some carry automatic weapons broke up the crowds in the capital, distressing video being shared online, showing mounted police forcing their way through those protests at times checklist . ah
3:22 pm
my my goodness, love i didn't look good. you look with blue. oh boy. 7 my protest is resisting arrest, were at some point forcibly taken away by offices with several pin to the ground before being handcuffed among them. move with organizes in trim or to a police chief conferred. the dozens of arrests had been made during the clean out . we began making arrests of 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
3:23 pm
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. was a big a picture response to that freedom convoy organized rick wall believes the government's actions violate candidates, democratic values were stuck. it said it's very disturbing to see where the federal government has missed. 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 the last
3:24 pm
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 race, the 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. these rallies aren't just taking place in the capital. us truck is joined the canadian kinds of parts no to to again block the border between the countries. journalist a blog, lauren, southern joy, me just an hour or so ago from the border and says freezing protest as bank accounts is going to. but fire on the government. so i'd say 90 percent of the truck you're already left. they're headed down to multiple locations. i'm in july british columbia right now. tom for them are going to be headed down to a row near the border that police have actually shut down and checkpoints with raj
3:25 pm
to ensure that no convoy so got to go there to shut it down to see how many people that go into that use organization because 212 was which way they went but there's like about a 1000 people. you're like i said 91, but you still got, you know, that's why it's shocking. this is the opposite side of canada. right. this is the opposite charge. in ottawa rainy day, you fill a 1000 people coming out to the media and the government over the mandate issue. these have been known, vall demonstrates is the say the bank comes plot, the emergency that has been used as that going down. yeah, so i'm speaking to people on the ground here. they travel from hours out to say, i was everything i've donated, i've taken part in the tom boy protest and now i'm not even going to bank account
3:26 pm
anymore. so what do i have to lose about a mortgage is the rent food? that's an excellent question and i think that's why you're going to keep seeing the approach as well. because people are terrified they have nothing can use their points. and this is going to be interesting to note, to play, because he may squash the protested auto watch, but he's gonna have a crazy walk them all across the country of other protective showing up and coming out saying fine, we want to take everything from us. you want to take our bank accounts, our jobs were going to have nothing better to do then to camp out in whether it be kill toronto, ottawa, across the country that are not going to shop putting next another scandal threatened with black lives matter movement in the united states isn't affiliated group can tuck, he reported. he paid a $100000.00 bond to free an activist charged with the attempted murder of a jewish merrill candidate. the groups openly defended the 21 year old suspects
3:27 pm
saying he suffers from mental health issues. he's said for walked into merrill hopeful craig greenberg's office last week, an open fire. no one was injured there, but the group's decision to pack the lead shooter spoke to wave of criticism. i do believe that black lives matter with the black lives matter organisation has a serious anti semitism problem and is supporting and bailing out terrorists when a black person tries to shoot a politician, you all scream mental health. when a white person shoots up a school and cries, mental health, you all say, throw them in jail. it's not your pa chrissy. it's not irony. it's what happens when society starts to unravel. the bad guys treated like heroes and the heroes treated like those. meanwhile, e commerce joy at amazon is removed, the b l m global network foundation from its charity platform. amazon smile, meaning the movement will no longer receive donations from amazon purchases. the
3:28 pm
decision was made after the b l. m. group failed to explain where $60000000.00 of their donations went. it's really a sad situation. it's, it would be laughable if it works as a says, it's a waste. and this young man, i think, was like 4 years ago, 3 or 4 years ago, appeared with joy read on m, s, n, b, c. and talking about, you know, as part of the black lives matter. and one of the things we talk about on an article that he wrote was talking about how republicans don't care about gun control and things of that. like, you know, and here it is. you fast forward 2 years later. and here he walks in with a gun in attempts to murder, a democratic candidate. it seems to be pretty much in keeping with that sort of radical, leftist kind of mindset. but what did black lives matter do? they billed him out of jail. he tried to murder someone and they billed him out of jail. how was that ever the right thing to do? this has been the demo for this organization there of fraud. the always have been
3:29 pm
right. brought you into this update from high kicking action from the rushing capital as moscow, while the v i. p crowds, one of the biggest martial arts competitions of the international festival of marshal and come back out. so you should 16 for some thousands of participants as the big guns in the world. sports and politics looked on, had the information department in japan's embassy here in moscow, said the russians appear to have unrivalled passion for the discipline. orders close due to the pen, demik of course. but i'm very happy about the number of enthusiasts in russia who practice martial arts. i came to russian not so long ago and i have lots of opportunity to take part in such events. sometimes it made me think that here in russia, japanese martial arts are more popular than even in japan. with the will news at 11 for moscow. tonight with me, kevin, i'm sorry, big croaky talent. a coven! stay with us at our c dot com for any breaking developments may come in
