rust off region where evacuation are now being taken. many hope that they can one day return to their homes without the constant threat of shelly. but i came here from dawn back together with my children yesterday i was walking to work, but it's impossible not so much showing anybody told us about evacuation. and how are we gathered everything that we can i came here, we'll just get to i don't want to come back. it's very dangerous. i live there and don't want to anymore. if dumbass forces are there, it's a li, vale, and very medial. so if he doesn't you how that out. they say if they get to our territories, i've done that with. no one will be left, they won't even stare. children feel destroy everyone where they want our land. our men won't let them in. that's what we pray for, and they're hiding up. have been holding up for 8 years, not letting them in. so we hope we'll be able to return home and we will up cuz i was shot. it'd be good if we had anywhere to return to. and then our relative, we're ok there much or no, my boy, my grandchild, when we were under shilling,

we ran outside and there was shooting star. he asked me, granny, what did you wish for? and i asked him back, what was his wish that it said, i want this war to be over sooner because he was 4 years old. then i said, i wish the same thing. so if i get the war has been going for 8 years, now, you more, you shall be worth more than 20000 people have already been evacuated from the self proclaimed stomach don, yet can lugens republics to southern russia. since the rescue operation began on friday, or he's done quarter is at one of the locations the evacuees are being brought 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 evacuees 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

a number of evacuees from the don boss 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 going to 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, the company is the 4 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 to my own house and left my nephew. he'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 at the kilometer, long queues, bosses with kids standing there. well, not,

not quite sure. you know, again, it's very confident shelling we decided to leave because miss i landed at our apartment building entrance. what exactly would you have wanted this for your child? would you? i also don't want this for neither my grandchildren nor do you know how heads get blown off before parents eyes. no, and we know how parents hid their 3 children in the bathroom and they all got alone there. you don't know, this doesn't improve from the phone because i'm so far from politics. so i don't think anything about it. i just want to, meanwhile, the 1st train from le ganske to russia since 2014 has brought evacuation to safety . local officials to say it is carrying more than 600 people stopping at 2 other locations before crossing the border. this comes as the heads of the don glass region announced a general mobilization on his roman coast of reports from central done yet 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 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 says that ukraine is ready for a full scale of war just on friday night. there was a blast frighten in a sensor of this city. you won a car was blowing up a car belonging to the head of the people that militia and when i arrived on the scene, there were engineers working. there were other cars of 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 all 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 of one of the sensors where people are coming over to sign up. and this is what denise bushland. a said when he talks about mobilization. ok, cuomo booth to lead? and yet 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 commerce, sorry, 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, so organized evacuation the continues here in the net scanned in logan's,

people are using any means and necessary to leave those who do once a evacuated brains. a 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 ha, that 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, and this is what they shared with me. let's see of the boy i am seeing off my sister, my mother and nephew. so you, there's pain in my heart. we will fight back will be invincible. i know that russia will not let us down. we will always be with them by heart and soul. wooster. church christian, i'm the russian man. my wife and child are leaving to russia. we men stay here, of course, if necessary. we will defend our city, our country, 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 russia stands at around 700000 people a so far, only tens of thousands have actually taken that opportunity and gone to the real stuff 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 nascar. there in the day, for example, we saw a wedding and party, we saw people drinking coffee on the streets and what could only on could only be described as courage. probably so despite the threat of full scale war, people are trying to continue on with their lives. the o. s. e monitoring mission says there were 870 c fire violations in done yet, and we've gone, gone friday alone. speaking at the music security conference,

ukraine's president blamed the self proclaimed republics. is sure. yesterday they showed some shells on temporarily occupied territories that allegedly came from outside. and then some shells have been shown even on rust off regions territory because those are all provocation with those allies. nobody died that no one is injured. that's just cynicism. but it's such a high level shilling themselves. they themselves shooting at the territory. they control the news, the statements, 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 e 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 it top level diplomatic incident is also

mounting around german chancellor, all of sholtes. following his meeting with president putin schultz, branded ridiculous. the fact that putin described the situation in dunbar as a genocide, russia's foreign ministry called the chancellors response, unacceptable. adding the kremlin, we'll send a dispatch to berlin with information about mass graves in eastern ukraine, german regional n p. martin dolts are and told us that schultz should have been more careful over such as sensitive issue. this is absolutely not the way to handle the company. contact the ukrainian army. grasping the dongle of the people at the experience of 2014, we have to see a genocide to something very seriously threatening the genocide to something systematically causing suffering and causing walk, rising and destroying people's life. and if now there is a potential situation like we have in the border region where there have been

showing chancellor shoes in the wrong. 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 you will withdraw like that he should be responsible. try to find dialogue instead of escalating inverts and moscow has opened a criminal investigation into the ukranian showing that has hit russia endangering local civilians. these are the images of a shell that exploded kilometer inside rushes, borders just a few 100 meters from residential areas, not around. 4 am. as civilians were sleeping, the area has been cordoned off. as long for spent examines the scene. no casualties have been reported. still ahead on our t international dozens are arrested of canadian police in riot gear. sweep through the streets of ottawa for the 2nd day, detaining freedom convoy protesters. stay with us more head

ah . join me every 1st day on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me . oh, life simply looks different when we look through the spiritually aware brain. we're absolutely far more able to bounce back from difficulty and difficulties are seen as invitations to move away from the stuck read doors in our lives. open our eyes and say what life, what spirit guides are you showing me? now? this is completely within our birthright. in fact, we function better. i think looking at the preponderance of the evidence, i conclude that we are made whole. and as we are designed to be,

when we strengthen the spiritual core and bring that into all of our life with ah, welcome back, this is our to international. now in canada, police in riot gear have swept through the streets of ottawa arresting 47 protesters and towing away trucks as they tried to bring a close to the protest against covey restrictions that has gone on for almost a month. now, the, the arrests come on top of a $100.00 on friday. as officials slowly re took control of the streets in front of

the countries parliament buildings. please say that they were forced to use a chemical irritant to combat assault of behavior. after don and helmets and using the toms to control routing protesters. authorities have said that some protesters were in body armor, while others carried smoke grenades and fireworks for leaders were among those arrested. and many of those who gathered on the streets of ottawa have accused authorities of a heavy handed approach. distressing video being shared online shows mounted police forcing their way through the demonstrators ah, like a blue

eye. oh boy. 7 those resisting arrest were forcefully taken away by officers with several pins to the ground before being hentoff. among them, movement organizes from ottawa, it please to have confirmed the dozens of rests were made during the clear up. 6 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 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 organizer rick wall believes the government's actions violate canadas democratic values. it's very

disturbing to see where federal government has big enough and you know, and both 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 movers are showing a prime example of how a free democracy should work and to be able to practice the right, the peaceful protests 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 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, 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 in a very disturbing rallies, we're not just taking place in canada. capital u. s. truckers joined their canadian counterparts to again block the border between the countries. online fundraisers for the protests were blocked and the accounts of people linked to the demonstrations frozen weaving. some protesters in financial limbo journalist and blogger, lauren southern, who joined my colleague, kevin owen from the border says freezing bank accounts will backfire on the government. i'd say 90 percent of the trucks year have already left their headed down to multiple locations. i'm in july, british columbia right now. half of them are going to be headed down to a road near the border that we have actually shut down a bit. checkpoints the garage to ensure that no convoy. so just to go there to shut it down between and washington and how many people are going to that use

organization because those hundreds, well, which way they, when there's like about a 1000 people here, like i said, 90 percent of what you still. 2 got, you know, dozens of people. i was 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 have been known valid demonstrates is the bank account for the emergency that's just been used as that goes down. yeah, so i was speaking some people on the ground here. they travelled from hours out. say i was everything i've donated, i've taken part in the tom boy protest. 2 and now i'm not even gonna have a bank account 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 that

report. and this is going to be interesting to note the play because he may squash the protested auto watch. but you can 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. we want to take our bank accounts, our jobs were going to have nothing better to do that. camp out in whether it be still as toronto, ottawa across the country that are not going to shop another scandal surrounding the black lives matter movement in the u. s. as an affiliated group in kentucky, reportedly paid $100000.00 bond to free an activist charged with the attempted murder of a jewish mayoral candidate. the group has openly defended the 21 year old suspect, saying he suffers from mental health issues. he is said to have walked into may oral hopeful greg greenberg's office last week and opened fire. no one was injured, but the group's decision to back the alleged shooter has sparked

a wave of criticism. i do believe the black lives matter with the black lives matter organisation has a serious anti semitism problem and it's 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 pock 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 foes. meanwhile, e commerce giant amazon has 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 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 would be laughable if it worked such

a situation. this young man, i think was what 4 years ago, 3 or 4 years ago period with joy read on m. s. a, b, c and talking about, you know, as part of the black lives matter. and one of those you talk about later on in an article that he wrote was talk about how republicans don't care about gun control and things of that. like, you know, and here it is, the 1st for 2 years later and here he walks a 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 build them out of jail? he tried to murder someone and they billed them out of jail. how was it ever the right thing to do? this has been the demo for this organization. there are fraud, the always have been or that there's a for me this hour. i will be back in the let's say 35 minutes with another full in fresh look new stay with us or change national.

ah, ah, more than 20 years have passed since one of the world's deadliest terrorist attacks that took thousands of lives. people started to scream. there was a wave that came over us. that was like opening up an oven door, but not all wounds of heel. the survivors and responders have increased rates of cancer and other health issues due to the dust and chemicals they inhaled. come in to get my blood cleaned out by the metals. a lot of them would come in with in terms of 1st responder with well, over a 100001st responders. and there was some estimates that tend to 20 percent still have to do some never achieve full recovery. well,

let sure sure that i have with friends. i thought i was humbled before this really home as you depreciate wife with these people learn from their own experience, how vulnerable of business is to the bank. so he pushes my business over, the age, pushes me right to the edge, bankruptcy. now i realize we were good. this isn't just the back that may be involved in this is the concept. see, firms is, is the lawyers, these people have got you want other stories? ottawa kind of whistle blower. tell people's marriages have broken up, lost their family homes. it is spectacularly devastating for people's lives. they have committed suicide, but left behind norwich. they explicitly state that it was the constant intimidation and billing by buying coff resource that late them to i talked to spy

. it's obscene. these people up north salt. ah i'm nice guys, are this is the kaiser report and the we have got a lot to cover today. 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 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 bitcoin 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 seeks greater clarity on el salvadoran policy and 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 u. s. 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 bitcoin 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 off.

so i, i can't understand why anyone reading that. i wouldn't want to just go all in on big coin because as the dollars now they've shown their hand, it will with that question now collapse. and big coin is paul tutor, jones is said, is the fastest source in the race. i can't imagine anyone holding dollars at this point, it's absolutely untenable. you must be insane. the whole dollars, you know, in terms of the us dollar reserve. here's the quote about that. and then i'm going to say a few thoughts about this el salvador. recognizing between his official currency opens the door for money laundering cartels. they always say that an undermines us interest, said doctor cassie, if the united states wishes to combat money laundering and preserve the role of the dollar as a reserve currency in the world. we must tackle this issue head on. so they are being very blunt about what they see in terms of understanding.
