1:04 am
has been happening here since 2014. 0, i'm tired to be honest with you. it says resolved against. i've lived in an ask all my life. i'm a lawyer by education. they called told me to come to the military enlistment office. i have combat experience in 2014, 1516 and 17. i'm trying to be ready for anything, but i don't see any reason to worry. i hope this time the conflict will be resolved in our favor. ukrainian officials have said multiple times now that they don't plan an offensive operation here in the near school lugens just to the north of then yet, nevertheless, wall preparations here are underway. local authorities say that the concentration of ukrainian troops, as well as heavy armor weapons artillery, are on the front lines along the front lines is unprecedented. they haven't seen the light. they say more than
1:05 am
a $100000.00 ukranian troops aligned up on the board. then we have seen the same image replay over the past few days, time and time again, and that is tearful, good buzz wives and daughters saying good bye to their husbands, who have gone to enlist the join the ranks of the defenders. yet all our lives have been up ended in the past. 48 hours. what have locals been telling you? well, people are very divided. there are those who who braved the worst of the violence in 2000, and 151460 a people who, who refused to leave you who say that, you know, they, they've seen the worst and they're going to stay in their homes to the end. nevertheless, there is a general rule before an evacuation. here in the midst of the priority is given to the women to children, to the elderly and thousands upon thousands of elected to flee, to evacuate to russia, where they have been welcomed in roster of region. other areas as well, where they feel much safer than they do here. they,
1:06 am
they don't want to go through what they went through previously. they have, they've lost people, have lost loved ones, and they don't want to see any more of them die. course aguillon. it was very scary. the shells were flying. i'm scared for my grandchildren and my children. look i. we were told that we had to leave very quickly. my husband, son and daughter, all state though everyone has their own household to look after their own job to go to. unless you thought that this situation started back in 2014 and then my son became disabled. my daughter in law died and one year old grandson received a head injury. and of course we are now very, very afraid neosha with as i say the, the situation is on the raises edge of them. and we've also, we've also seen our correspondence from our arab exist the channel come under fire yesterday while visiting an area near the front lines. a town that was shelled by
1:07 am
ukrainian troops over the for over the course of the last week or so. a we also heard from a foreign journalists and c, n, n, a p, saying that they were shell on the other side of the conflict line on the ukrainian side. so certainly sci fi violations being registered for both in the breakaway republics. and on the ukrainian side of the conflict blood the, the fear is of course here now that there could be an escalation right away escalation that would be very difficult to stop given the, the concentration of forces. now in the region has been awakened of rapid developments hasn't, and the world is watching our course. we'll catch up with you later. mike as df antonietta. thank you for now. well, is a more i was saying about that. evacuation is now 2 days into that rescue operation from the break. why don't pass republics 2 neighboring russia parties. donald
1:08 am
quarter visited one of the locations, accommodating them. 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 gonna be here and 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,
1:09 am
if anybody is 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 my own house and left 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. well, nursing a place you're in our village, there is constant shelling we decided to leave because a miss i landed at our apartment building entrance that you would you have wanted this for your child. would you? i also do on this for neither of my grandchildren do you know, that had been blown off before that parents eyes. and we know how parents had the 3 children in the bathroom, and they all got blown up that you don't know this. it put us on the phone because i'm so far from politics. i don't think anything about it. i just want to leave
1:10 am
a mid report by the o. s. c a. the shelling in easton ukraine has doubled in the past 24 hours. the country president says it's the local forces in the break away republic. somehow attacking themselves is sure 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 rage and territory. those are all provocations, those allies, nobody died that no one is injured. that's just cynicism. there's such a high level cynicism that they shelling themselves, they themselves shooting at the territory. they control the statement they're showing themselves in relation to the people of don bass could only be made by a coal is cynic, given how many people in the dentist can. lu ganske republics have died over the years. the special o s. c, monitoring mission is registering, showing that comes considerably more from forces. perhaps that is why washington withdrew us observers from the mission so that there would be no american witnesses
1:11 am
. after all, they could accuse their government of lying. the multi national security conference being held for the 1st time without a russian representative as western leaders leveled direct warnings at moscow. r t . saskia taylor and andrew pharma discussed that earlier this forum has drawn and more than 100 ministers over thought. he had serv, state lots on the agenda from ukraine to climate change from cobit to crypto currency notice be absent this year. and the russian delegates, partly because washington box is yet 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. unfortunately, 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 of 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
1:12 am
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 such troops and missiles and russia. now from the 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 putins fairs and give him a little less and, and how kind loving nato is, 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 the nato chief himself seems to be aware about this, primarily defendant says character of his military lions. so if kremlin name is to have less nato on his borders, it will only get more natal not,
1:13 am
not sure how want to spend one self by in thought playing and not the country, but the false even goes a bit farther. because while the nato chief has issues with russian troops stationed on russ, russian or a tree, he claims that the presence of tens of thousands of his forces alongside of calls around 6065000 us troops all over europe really right up to russians. borders thought, is there any legitimate and defensive? not just thought, apparently without them, that would be no world peace. 2 world wars and the cold war has totals. there is no real security without the strong trans atlantic bond. standing together in europe and america will continue to keep the peace. thank 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 common harris who has warned of this plan sanctions package that
1:14 am
will suffocate an isolate russian unprecedented manner. a sentiment that 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. german journalist re haydn, who spend time reporting on conditions in don bath, says no one seems to care that kid is amassing a huge military force stronger than ever before. as it is a disgusting game, provocateurs or in kiev, under the leadership, the united states, they built an army and sent a $120000.00 ukrainian. sold is to the contact line. they do not talk about it at all, only russia, russia, russia, i think here was trying to escalate the situation in some way that keeps saying russia is attacking russia is invading. i think russia conscious stand by now was
1:15 am
around 700000 people in the dumbass region, have russian passports, the journalist stress that germany should send politicians, journalists, reporters, directly to that. the nets and the guns republics to check the ferocity of the facts, such as were the houses have been destroyed, and with a large caliber weapons are used. the result of this should be berlin's demands that representatives of kevin, the people's republic, meets the negotiating table for the implementation of the men's. que agreements will be disgust along with elections. amendments to the ukraine constitution and the autonomy of the people's republics. or by headline news now in, in canada, police in riot gear have swept through the capital, arresting at least a 170 demonstrated over the past 2 days. and also towing away blockading trucks. as the government pushes to finally stamp out persistent protests that have gone on for almost a month now, against covered restrictions and vaccine mandate, police stepped in to we take control of the streets in front of parliament. the authorities say some demonstrators were in body armor bothers,
1:16 am
carried smoke grenades, and fireworks for protest. leaders were among those arrested, distressing video being shared online shows mounted police forcing their way through crowds this weekend. oh, my god, oh my goodness. oh, i got your dad. well good yeah. oh with oh good oh. 7 some protested, we're filmed kneeling in prep, in an apparent declaration of peace and unity. as canadian christian pastors made a joint statement condemning the invocation of emergency powers, as well as the government's quote, tyrannical actions against the peaceful demonstrators. and another statement by
1:17 am
freedom conway representatives also denounced the government's use of force against protest as in the capital and says the truckers have been asked to move away from the parliament precinct to avoid further clashes. many have gathered an ot, we'll have accused the authorities of a heavy handed approach here 20 days, and they're being very heavy here today. they're pushing back with her. this is extreme, this is not janitor guy's business dictatorship to those learning our country. i'm applaud with stories i stepped in between her and them so they couldn't take her and they tricked me out from under my feet. i feet underneath them. thank god man. these guys pulled me right back out . right. so here we stay on the inter him all to a police chief says he's pleased with the progress in removing the demonstrators. we made some very important progress in safely removing this unlawful protest from our streets. we've backed up those warnings with a deliberate and methodical operation. using lawful and safe tactics, we are,
1:18 am
we all saw that this is the protestors were aggressive with the officers and we needed to use horses at one point. as a result, we responded this morning by adding helmets and baton to our equipment for the safety of our officers. the rashaw just taking place in canada capital u. s. truck as have joined their canadian counterparts to again block the border between that countries. online fundraisers for the protests have also been blocked and the accounts of people linked to the demonstrations frozen, leaving some of them in financial limbo, journalist and blog. lauren southern who spoke to us from the board told kevin owen that suspending bank accounts will back fire 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 row near the border that lead time actually shut down to put checkpoints, the garage to ensure that no convoy. so just to go there to shut it down between the in washington. yeah,
1:19 am
he says he's done how many people are going to that use organization between those hundreds well which way this way but there's like about a 1000 people here like i said, 90 percent of what you still got, you know, dozens of people cry, median planes, 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 a 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 banking crowns blow emergencies that has been used as that goes down yet. so i was speaking to some people on the ground here, they travel from hours out. i'm just saying i was everything i've donated, taken part in this hon boy protest. 2 and now i'm not even gonna have a bank account anymore. so what do i have to lose about way the mortgage is the rent food? that's an excellent question,
1:20 am
and i think that's why you're going to keep seeing these protests. because because terrified, they have nothing to lose at this point and it shouldn't be a dangerous game. but you know, to play that he may squash the protest in ottawa, but he's going to have a crazy game, whack him all across the country of other project is 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 that. it's in camp out in whether it be kilowatt toronto, ottawa citizen, mentioned that are not going to stop lane or shine an associate of deceased american sex offender. jeffrey epstein has been found dead in jail in france. john looked ronald who was being held on suspicion of trafficking girls for epstein was found hanging in his cell. the french prosecutor's office as an enquiries been opened, but that early indications do point to suicide. the french modeling agent disappeared from public life shortly after epstein's august 2019 suicide. also in jail. brownell was initially put under investigation for the alleged rape of
1:21 am
a minor and sexual harassment, and also of suspected trafficking of underage girls, which he denied. journalist and political commentator in paris told us that dismal prison conditions could have led to his suicide. as the 2nd person after jeffrey epstein, who was found hanged in a prison cell, supposedly safe from intervention. and then i started talking to witnesses and i will not 2 witnesses, but 2 sources and people who follow this closely. and what they say is, look, it's a bit different from america because a brownell was in jail for 2 things. one was something that was hanging on him, which is something unconnected to the jeffrey of china story, which is allegedly raping a minor somebody who's under 18 in france. and the other one was a, is connection to jeffrey epstein. his lawyers say that he was 75 years old that he'd be put in jail for things that he felt was he was not guilty off. and i'm have
1:22 am
no idea, you know, i know on this one, but it's a horrible place to be it's, it's the present, a place where french, a number of french politicians have been present and they all had a very different attitude to conditions in prison. also the weather and he was depressed, he felt that his life was finished and that he was not given. he was not a flight risk and you want to have, you know, now to, to wait until the, the trial began outside the jail. he also felt that he was being driven into, into an extremely full situation where justice was supposed to look like it was very harsh, or just because it was part of this american story. if you look at other sites and you speak to journalists who be following the matter, they say that when i were suspected or accused of having traffic more than one sound, very young women for jeffrey epstein when it's not just bruno his reputation imploded because of his relationship with that stain,
1:23 am
but it seems that with enough money and power, many of epstein's associates have managed to avoid any serious repercussions. ortiz, danny armstrong takes a closer look. if the jeffrey at the scandal has taught us, one thing is that you can get away scott free with almost anything provided your rich, famous and influential. looked back at what fate befell the usual suspects in the epstein affair tells us exactly that. first as prince andrew, his former royal highness is off the legal hook after parting with a princely song to silence his sex abuse case. now public censure still horns f. things form a friend who faces fresh calls to be deprived of his duke of york title. carrying a title does create an ambassadorial relationship with that place and for some while with a global reputation such as york, this is extremely important. it is to be welcomed that he has now pledged to support the fight against the evils of sex trafficking and its victims to
1:24 am
demonstrate a seriousness in this endeavor and his respect for those affected by abuse and the people of our city. i would ask that his 1st act of contrition is to confirm his support for the withdrawal of his ducal title. his accuser, virginia to fray is set to receive a king's ransom from the printer to the tune of $12000000.00 pounds. that's a handsome amount, despite the 2 having never actually met allegedly the amount was paid with the help from mommy dearest, of course. and his legal wo simply disappeared. much like the duke of york from the royal inner sanctum, but royal family exile and paying through the nose for trouble. his crown jewels allegedly got him in to didn't entirely absolve andrew. he has been stripped of a string of titles, honorary rolls and ranks but not to worry. his fall from grace did lands him in another exclusive club of those to escape scrutiny for their
1:25 am
association with epstein. new club mates include former us president bill clinton, who also went absolutely unscathed, by public castigation for his too close for comfort friendship with the disgrace financier. in fact, on the same day, snaps of clinton being rubbed down by one of epstein's alleged victims, became public. he spoke at the 2020 democratic national convention, endorsing joe biden. you know what don croup will do with 4 more years blown bully and belittle her new noah jo, bud, bill burke, better. it's troughs, us versus go america against oberg. america then is epstein lawyer allen dish of is who has somehow steered clear of public scorn despite being closely connected to his former clients and friends. thus, despite allegedly knowing of his lane maxwell's kind of confirmation and a 2015
1:26 am
e mail, that the infamous photo of andrew and his accuser was indeed authentic. that bombshell reportedly triggered the all important settlements. there is no question that epstein was the most culpable person, but by immunizing some name people which occurred, but also any one who was a potential co conspirator that really precluded the idea of cooperating other co conspirators against epstein, which would have been a critical thing to pursue a more serious case against epstein. perhaps maxwell herself could shed some light on these masses book court documents on a case like her lips remain sealed on the matter. those portions of the transcript which were redacted in the civil matter concern privacy interests in their disclosure would merely serve to cater to a craving for that which is sensational and impure. the court thus concludes that such reductions are justified. so jeffrey epstein never made it out of prison alive,
1:27 am
and it looks for all the money in the world as though his closest confidant is facing the same fate. others have alluded, screwed to me either by hiding in plain sight or like andrew, by cashing in on the crown to make a royal pain. simply go away. school children in the year a state of pennsylvania will no longer have to watch a cnn bulletin, specifically aimed at pupils. at the start of the day, school board directors voted $5.00 to $4.00 to drop the newscast. young students have been shown the shortest cnn 10 programs about global affairs, but some parents complained that the broadcast that isn't a neutral source and claimed that their children were being indoctrinated with the networks views every single day for 10 minutes that cnn is a label that we can trust that every face in here that teaches my son every day. back this up, let's say in an imaginary world, it's exactly center down the middle that it is not on either side of the
1:28 am
spectrum that it's neither conservative. it that it's fox 10, whatever it is. let's say it's straight down the metal. it's still spell that out on the banners across the top. it still says it on the bottom. cnn, cnn, cnn. the opening is cnn, cnn, cnn. that is not on by why was this in place to begin with? when did middle school classroom start watching the news other than the o. j trial? i don't recall our teachers ever turning a t. v on and just watching the news brainwashing education. my old high school doing the right thing a jet is devlin dove, suggest taking a different approach to introducing students to world news. the lat, appearance apparently complained that are there kids are being fed part propaganda by c n n. which i have to say on probably is true.
1:29 am
cnn has very, ah, definite, sort of slightly liberal point of view and a very pro militarist point of view on foreign policy. what would we better for them to do? would be to show, may be cnn news on monday, fox news on tuesday, and miss and be see on wednesday and be see on thursday and a b, c on friday. you know, if they did that at least there'd be some variation. although i have to say that the networks news are all basically very pro u. s. foreign policy, very pro military. and they're very uncritical about stuff like that. they also all buy into and kind of neo liberal economics on economic policy in the us. it's not possible to get
1:30 am
a totally unbiased thing unless you went to public broadcasting. very lazy to just take one network and say ok this, this is where you're getting your unbiased news. as we always said, there's plenty of news to choose from out that that's it. from us for now i'm oh great. i'll see programs on the way. of course we'll have more on sundays developments in half an hour. see then ah, with bring you my latest every out the day. this is no fun everyone.
