ah, ah, sleepless nights and touching goodbye is non stop shell again, new trains break away. dumbass republics keeps locals of bay. many are taking up arms while others say they're forced to flee suspecting an attack by chaos military . it was very scary. the shells were flying. i'm scared for my grandchildren and my children. this situation started back in 2014. then my son became disabled. of course, we are now very, very afraid escaping the violence out of fear for their lives. more than $40000.00 east ukraine citizens have crossed the border to safety in russia, where the government's providing accommodation to the evacuation plus another news . that's why you're going to keep seeing these protest before parents, right? they have nothing to lose quite desperate yet defined protest. as

a pushback by police, in ottawa, as the canadian government seeks to stamp out weeks long demonstrations against cobit vaccine mandates. ah, hello, good to have you with us this sunday. the 20th of february, just her mid day here at moscow. i'm calling brian the, to the big stories that were across this sunday sleepless nights in ukraine to break away dumbass republics. as artillery shelling pounds on both sides of the front line between cubes, military and the local defense forces. ortiz, senior correspondent, broadcast dia, reports on the latest from the break away than yet. republic love. the violent lights here in the near. we heard the last we heard shelling was at 6 30 in the morning were about a dozen or so rounds impact you could tell by the unique sound that they make her to the west of the city, which is the location of the nearest airport, which is where the front lines, ah,

and which is where much of the violence in the near city a city of 2000000. no less. which is where much of the violence is sent to the u. s . c. registered more than a $1600.00 cease fire violations. yesterday, which is a huge escalation given the in past months you could go days without hearing an explosion. it is, it is now mia hours that you can, that you can wait for and a good to hear an explosion just just, just for reference in the past 201560. the entire city would vibrate every few seconds that be another explosion with heavy caliber weapons. nevertheless, it is restless. here, people are fearful of another escalation of rounds falling into the city so far. the, the violence has been centered on the outskirts of vignettes where there's also the mobilization ongoing, whereby all men of service age,

18 to $55.00 were being urged to join the defenders. they feared here that an invasion and offensive by the ukrainian military is imminent. in fact, just a few minutes ago, i am all other mobile phones here in the nearest received the another as a mess. message text message urging males to join the ranks of the defendants. she'll sit at my, i'm a volunteer. i decided to come head because in any case it will be necessary if the enemy, as we say is on our doorstep, we must fight back on it and no one but us can protect ourselves. i came voluntarily to protect our home. i have no other thoughts and emotions. this has been happening here since 2014. 0, i'm tired to be honest with you from. i believe his series, puzzled against him. i've lived in that's 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 so, but i don't see any recent 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 the nets. nevertheless, wall preparations here are underway. local authorities said that the concentration of ukrainian troops, as well as heavy armor weapons artillery on the front lines along the front lines, is unprecedented. they haven't seen the like, they say more than a 100000 ukranian troops aligned up on the board. then we have seen the same image replay over the past few days, tom and tom again, and that is tearful, good buzz wives and daughters saying good bud, that husbands who have gone to enlist the join, the ranks of the defendants. people are very divided. there are those who who braved the worst of the violence in 2000, and 151460 people who,

who refused to leave you who say that, you know they've, they've seen the worst and they're going to stay in their homes to the end. nevertheless, there is a general order for an evacuation. here in the near, the priority is given to, to women, to children, to the elderly and thousands upon thousands of elected to flee, to evacuate to russia, where they have been welcomed and enroll silva, region. other areas as well, where they feel much safer than they do here. they, they don't want to go through what they went through previously. they have, they've lost people, they've lost lost loved ones, and they don't want to she any more of them die course aguillon. it was very scary . the shells were flying and 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 that 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. of course, we are now very, very afraid. neither shall yet, 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 arabic says the channel come under fire yesterday while visiting an area near the front lines. a town that was shelled by ukrainian troops over the over the course of the last the week or so. we also heard from a foreign journalism c, n n a p, saying that they will shell on the other side of the conflict live on the ukrainian side. so suddenly she's for violations of 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 or this now 2 days into the rescue operation from the break away don't bus republics, we bought them 40000 evacuation. having crossed the border into russia. ortiz, donal court, 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 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 a number of evacuees from the don bus region that have already made their way into russ solve their 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, and they don't know what's happen if there is going to be a ukrainian invasion or not. but as, as for right now, this is their reality. ah, it really 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 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 hughes bosses with kids standing there. well, nursing a place you 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 their 3 children in the bathroom, and they all got blown up there. you don't know this. if was on the phone because i'm so far from politics, i don't think anything about it. i just want to leave. those reports emerged from the o. s. e. the shelling and eastern ukraine's doubled in the past 24 hours. the countries president told the munich security conference on saturday, that it's local forces in the break away republic. so orchestrating, they attacked is sure they showed some shelves 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 there. no one is injured or that's just cynicism. they're such a high level cynicism that they as shelling themselves, they themselves shooting at the territory. they control both of the statement they're showing themselves in relation to the people of dan bass could only be made

by a soul, a cynic given how many people in the dinners can lugens republics have died over the years. the special o s. c, monitoring mission is registering shall, that comes considerably more from keith's 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 their government of lying about multinational security conference is being held for the 1st time without a russian representative. the as western leaders level direct warnings at moscow or t. saskia taylor and andrew pharma discussed that earlier 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. noticeably absent this year, a neat russian delegates partly because russian coven vaccines yet been recognized by the u party. of course, because of this was in, 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 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 farther eastward, and would stop it from hosting such troops and missiles near russia. now from the 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 fairs and give him a little lesson. and how kind and loving nato is they to is a peaceful 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 chief himself seems to be aware about this primarily defensive character of his military lions. so if kremlin name is to have less nato on its borders, it will only get more natal not, 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 being stationed on russ russian territory, he claims that the presence of tens of thousands of his forces alongside of calls from 6065000 us troops all over europe ready right up to russians. borders start, is there any legitimate and defensive? not just thought, apparently without them, that would be no world peace to rural wars and the cold war has totals that there is no real security near without the strong trans atlantic ball 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 comment harris, who has warned of this plan functions package that will suffocate an isolate russian unprecedented manner. 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 all sides in recent times, german journalist re haydn, who spend time reporting on conditions in don't bass says no one seems to care the 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 ukrainian soldiers to the contact line. they do not talk about it at all, only russia, russia, russia, i think he was trying to escalate the situation in some way. they keep saying russia is attacking russia is invading. i think russia can't just stand by now was 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 against 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 care in the people's republic meet the negotiating table. where the implementation of the men's agreements will be disgust along with elections, amendments to the crank constitution and the autonomy of the people's republics. more of our headline news this sunday in canada police in riot gear have swept through the capital, arresting at least a 170 demonstrators over the past 2 days,

and towing away blockading trucks. as the government pushes to finally stamp out persistent protests that have gone for almost a month against coven restrictions and vaccine mandate. police stepped in to re take control of the street in front of parliament. if they were to say some demonstrators were in body armor, while others carried smoke grenades and fireworks for protest, leaders were among those arrested. also, distressing video being shared on line shows mounted police forcing their way through crowds this weekend. oh my, oh, my goodness. oh my goodness ah ah oh,

some protest as we're filmed, kneeling in pratt in an apparent show of peace and units. a canadian christian pastors made a joint statement condemning the invocation of emergency powers on the government. quote, tyrannical actions. freedom conway representatives also denounced the government's use of force against the protest in the capital. i think that they've asked the truck as to move from the parliament precinct to avoid further clashes. many have gathered in all to up to have accused the authorities of being too heavy handed and here 20 days in their being very heavy handed. today they're pushing back with her . this is extreme, this is not canada guys, this is a dictatorship. who knows, 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 and thank god man i these guys pulled me right back out. right. so here we stay on the interim, 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, 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. freedom company organizer, brick wall, accuses the canadian government of violating people's constitutional rights. they have denied so many of our rights the last couple of years. and now that people have taken action and thing enough is 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 a peaceful protest. that's the one last freedom that we feel we have left in this

country and now even not being stripped away from us. so extremely concerning. and we can't believe that our 3 country people, country like canada, has gotten us to this place. i can only speak for myself, but i feel that our federal government is basically trying to control each and every single canadian at this point, and that they haven't even as much as open up an opportunity to dialogue with the federal government. i think it's very disturbing in the exact opposite from what we should see from a democratic peaceful country rallies on just taking place in canada as capital us truck has joined that canadian counterparts to again block the border between the countries. online fundraisers for the protests of also been blocked and the accounts of people linked to the demonstrations frozen, leaving some in financial limbo journalist and blog. lauren southern who spoke to us from the border, told kevin owen that suspending bank accounts will backfire on the government. 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 lease had actually shut down and checkpoints with raj 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 we can 212 was which way they went, but there's like about a 1000 people. you're like i said 90 percent of what what you still. 2 got, you know, people don't know why it's shocking. this is the opposite side of canada, right? this is the opposite. charging auto rainy day. you fill a 1000 people coming out to me and the government mandate issue. these have been known vall, it demonstrates, is that the bank comes plot, the emergency that has been used as that goes down. yeah, so i'm speaking to some people on the ground here. they travel from hours out. say

i was everything i've donated, i've taken part in the tomboy protests. 2 and now i'm not even going to 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. they have nothing to lose at that point, and this is going to be a dangerous place because he may squash the protest in ottawa. what he's going to have a crazy walk. i'm all across the country of other projects showing up and coming out saying fine, 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 feel as toronto, ottawa city to cross country that are not going to shop lane or shine or time to really wrap up warm now and head back out to the coldest, inhabited place on earth. throughout the week, constantine protocol has been reporting back on mega sub 0 life in russia's far east. next he learns the ways of reindeer herders, and also goes for an icy david minus 50 degrees celsius,

but not before experiencing even cold the climes. well, this is one of the main attraction. so for visitors, for sure, is here estella? or are valerie monument that marks the lowest temperature that has ever been recorded in this life? mine is 71.2. ruth health. yes, there is an ongoing debate over which village is actually the coldest place i north, whether it's or mac or where we're now or tom toward where we came from. but the truth is it doesn't matter because the whole area, the whole region, which is also cold. i'm not going by the way, has something special about his geography that makes it so frigid. i really need to understand this. my medical lies in a valley surrounded by mountains, and since there is no ocean nearby to moderate the extreme temperatures, the cold is concentrated here like in no other place. oh, it doesn't matter how much you measure this,

but the coldest point is always in the room. so in the hollow valleys, this is where the most intense code is accumulated. for some reason, you're talking in a cold as if it's him substance like a matter that can move around. it accumulates yes. here it can be 4050 degrees to a certain point. it will be minus $65.00. the head of a local weather station shows us around what is probably one of the most severe places to observe climate. why does the temperature now cool minus 46 degrees? well, it could have been worse. if you stay, you'll see it's going to be minus $50.00 to $52.00 degrees celsius, that's minus 60 degrees fahrenheit. he says that it's more accurate to call on that con the coldest, permanently inhabited place on earth. it may get even colder at the south all, but no one lived there except for scientists to come and go. in oil michel, people have adapted to live in the extreme environment all year around. like alexander,

our tenure who didn't even notice the white specks of frost on his face. as we were recording our e, have you out in the freezing cold? your face has turned white is everything fine. it's fine, it'll go away and turn red, just rubbish. and that's it. i guess you have to be born here to treat frostbite as if it's nothing from a young age. children here are taught that even if it's freezing outside, it doesn't mean you don't go to school. here, kid, stay home only if the temperature drops below minus $52.00 degrees celsius or $61.00 fahrenheit, which are all children are present now or is someone at home? you, meteorologists reported that it's minus 50 celsius. so all the kids are studying minus 50 lovely winter day. everyone goes to school. yes, this is usual weather and temperatures for us. like children all over the world, these kids like to play video games and that's what most of them were doing during a school break. when we arrived,

this was very much just are you playing online with someone? yes, he should pay to let you do you have why fi here? we have 14 yet. the schools administration also pays a lot of attention to the kids. a physical development we found familiar faces and the gym. alexander had good a sub in his guest house. also works as a coach at the school. today, his students are practicing local. you could sport these are the games that locals have been playing here for centuries. now, they're also part of the schools, physical education program. mesh upon how boys come from rural areas and they're strong. they work on farms help their parents earn money for themselves in the summer by gathering hey in shopping, firewood. they will survive in extreme situations because they are hardened. they know how to light a fire, how to survive that value when you grow up with who do you want to be? yeah, yeah, i went to join the special forces. it's not special force. yes,

but we want to fight. yes. even as to work, alexander who is 53 years old, is eager to show that he is into fitness and stay in shape. no, he doesn't have a 6 back and he doesn't work out using sophisticated fitness equipment. but his physical abilities can patch many by surprise. for one he went, i swimming in a river on a day when the temperature outside was as low as minus 49 degrees celsius worth 56 fahrenheit. if it was good, powerful are they told me i couldn't do this and then i thought, i mean one of the coldest places on this planet hand, if i pass on this opportunity, he may never come along again. so with that being said, i'm going with

that are dove into the water and did 3 complete pushups as if it was no big deal. i, on the other hand, was in the water for a left and a 2nd without even getting my head way. and then sprinted back to the car as fast as i go with. no words can be put in it. and so pumped up on top of the world all that might seem over the town. but here's the thing about doing that on those who live here, and those who come here old tend to push themselves to the limit in one way or another. the reindeer herders learned to survive in the phrasing called without the help of modern technology, really reindeers is what these people have been doing for centuries, has not thousands of years. and these animals still remain their main source of food and medicine they still use are really are tied to make huts and post

for the most part, these herders lived just like their ancestors did. they sleep on rained her eyes of the mouth, eyes for drinking water, and if they need food, they take a knife voucher, an animal and cook it on fire mobile. this is a hide from a recently killed reindeer. i can see a blood stains on the edge of sa, herders are gave this hide to their dock so they can have a warm place to sleep. these people can survive without civilization, but that doesn't mean they reject it. they use diesel generators for electricity. they also recently set up a why fi router in their hut to catch up on the latest news. there are some small things that these herders don't quite understand about the modern world was good to suppose also to tell me as a man of civilization. but why do they say this can be thrown out in the forest?

but i don't quite get it put my back when you manage when or stand there are harmful elements in them and therefore they need to be disposed properly to it. okay, i understand american is definitely among the world's most difficult places to live . it's cold, it's remote, and you have to put an extra effort to get something other people might take for granted. and yet there are many men and women who have adapted to this harsh environments so well they can imagine living anywhere else. what might be a tourist attraction for someone from the outside? is these people's everyday life? and even if locals don't toss hot water in the air and don't use frozen food for hammers, that doesn't mean they don't enjoy living in the coldest place on earth. they just hate pleasure in something. the rest of us can't. i'm going that the from your cone is the coldest inhabited place in the world. we live here. we have toilets outside, everything is outside despite this cold. we've got used to it was listed on what

you see some live intense, some live in brick house in litigate for some live in a cave. we're all stronger together. this is rashandra. see how many of us live here with the muscle? we love boy mccoy. this is our home lamps. we would never change for anything, not for moscow, england or europe. this is russia. it's the best place in the world. ah, ah. and you can see all of constantine series online at auntie dot com check. more of our store is on youtube as well. that's it from the newsroom for this hour. i'll call him right back with the next update and 30 minutes a

ah ah, ah, ah ah ah, ah with so i a m.
