for these people have no soul ah, sleepless nights and touching good byes, non stop shelling and new cranes break away. dumbass republics keeps the locals with pe many taking up arms while the se, the 4th to flate, suspecting an attack by cubes. military, i would never have left. when i had a stroke, i had to come to my wife to so afraid if my health would have allowed me, i would have joined the militia. forced to leave the homes to, to conflict with hopes of coming back more than 40000 residents based ukraine across the border to safety in russia. where the government's providing accommodation to the evacuation plus another new think that's why you're going to keep seeing these protest. verified based nothing he's desperate

yet defiant, protest is pushed back by the police. and also with the canadian government seeks to stamp out weeks long demonstrations against kobe vaccine mandate. with that sunday afternoon at one here in moscow, i'm calling brian is the big stores that were across for you this weekend. first ukraine than where sleepless nights in the break away. dumbass republics have seen artillery shelling pounds on both sides of the front line between keeps military and the local defense forces. there ortiz, senior correspondent, murat gazda, reports from the break. wait, then yes, republic. another violent night here in the nets. we heard the last we had shelling was at 6 30 in the morning where about a dozen or so rounds impacts. you could tell by that the unique sound that they make but 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, 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 ceasefire 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 the good to hear an explosion just just, just for reference in the past and 201560. the entire city would vibrate every few seconds that be another explosion with heavy caliber weapons. nevertheless, it is restless. here a people are fearful of another escalation of rounds falling into the city. su, 4 of the, the violence has been centered on the outskirts of vignettes. but 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. iron, all of the 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 voluntary i decided to come head because in any case it will be necessary if the enemy, as he 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. it says resolved against. i've lived in that's all my life. i'm a lawyer by education. they called told me to come to the military and listen. office. i have combat experience in 2014,

1516 and 17. i'm trying to be ready for any things go, 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 the nets . nevertheless, wall preparations here are underway. local authority said that the concentration of ukrainian troops, as well as heavy aba 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, time and time again. that is tearful, good buzz wives and daughters saying that. but 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 law the for an evacuation. here in the near to 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 in raw 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 not berlin. it was very scary. the shells were flying. i'm scared for my grandchildren and my children. look, 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 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 symbol to where we came from to doubt center because there is a will gang on that which ukraine started. 3 days ago that unnatural public was shout every day, starting at 5 in the morning and ending in the evening. we'll feel it when they're shooting and only think about whether will get hit. i came with the child, the woman i rides with came was 2 children. they were 18 children and the boss for 40 people who are the ones who decided to take our children out in the 1st place. who found invocation sent in the city. and after that to the, to sported here, as i say the, the situation is on the races edge. and, 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 for over the course of the last the week or so. a 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. so this is why 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. well, it's now 2 days into the rescue operation from the break away. don't pass republics with more than 40000 evacuees having cross the border into russia. out is don a call to visit at one of the locations, accommodating them. this is, this is don children's camp. it was once

a place where kids came to have fun. now the only children you'll find here are among the 700000 expected evacuees from the don boss, region of eastern ukraine. when are you? oh my wife and i a hey, i would never have left but i had a stroke or yeah, i had to come here to leave a household, leave everything come here. i would have come back home. i don't want to be here. i don't need it. me, how long am i going to stay here? as long as god decides? if they say i can go back tomorrow, i'll leave tomorrow. but the conditions of puffy hid the food is good. everything is free. we don't need anything else. no, nothing. it's my wife wanted to return to day as we'd abandoned a farm over that. well, it may be to go back quickly and check on everything the dogs, the goats, and then cookie returned to russia. but what can i do? my wife is so afraid, i'm not afraid of anything, but i was affected by the stroke. if my health would have allowed me, i would have joined the militia

right behind me. you can see the sheer number of evacuees that are waiting to get into just this area. it's only one of many spread across the russian region of ross thought earlier i spoke to a staff member here. she said that already since yesterday, 500 evacuees from the don bus region have arrived and have settled here. now this is the temporary settlements cafeteria. it's already 10, 15 in the morning and breakfast is coming to a close. so you can't see too many people behind me, but for hours already, the staff here have been providing be evacuees with breakfasts free of charge. earlier we saw a large ques, waiting right next to these vans right here with the logo from russia's largest bank sped bank. they were actually waiting for stipends of $10000.00 roubles around $130.00 that the russian government has promised evacuees, fleeing from the don boss region. over 40000 don boss evacuees have already reached the russian federation and in the roster of region alone, almost 100 areas just like this one have been set up and are accepting more and

more people as every hour passes. of course, they're very grateful for what russia is done for them, but the thing they want most of all this to be able to return home donald quarter r t ross off. ok, expanding on that with us now as good live to go about some of those spokes person for the international red cross, his regional delegation in moscow. good to have you, and i'll t does the right cross have a presence in this operation to help the vacuum from eastern ukraine into russia. thanks for having me. ah, yes indeed, the i sir. see, has offices all across ukraine. we've been present therefore all during the whole time of conflict, which is already a h years long. we have people down under ground boats in don, yes, campbell guns and they are responding to the needs that are generated by the really long lasting conflict. and with the current intensification of the 5 team that we all witness over the last few days. we really hope that people who suffered so much

already don't have to suffer more, have the been any difficulties and try to get help to these people. what was that? what do they need most urgently guaranteed. li, one of the most pressing issue that we are witnessing is the continued disruption of the basic essential services. so it's been there for a few years when the people along the line of contact and both sides. having havent been cut from the central services such as water and gas and powers for days and weeks and the current and stipulation of hostilities again for the show on the table very urgently and reportedly was so that 2 of the big pumping station in the donnie had quit gen been she had and damaged by the feel at this currently which got about 1000000 people from the access to water. and that's really worried because to that one meal. and it also includes access to for hospitals and other social services. and this is really important and we keep repeating our message to

all sides that civilians and civilian infrastructure must be spared. because this is key for the survival of the population. what about in east and ukraine itself? if the red cross been working directly in the conflict zones though, what are your colleagues telling you about? well, the situations like right now, right now our colleagues have down there. of course we do keep security of our staff as our priority. yet still when to stand, how important it is for us to be able to provide assistance to the people, especially right now to what i know the colleagues, her mom, the line, they are doing everything possible. they have to adapt, of course, to the current to, to hitch and they have to close. currently the cooling and heating point beach crossing points. and then he told hans car and also they have to cancel some of the deliveries of assistance to the village is close to the line of contact with the dad there. and we are here. we are in crane to stay because there's been,

it was affected. community all this years and we continue being next to them. and the i shall see, it will work in call stars, the nation was the community. so make sure that all the margin needs are responded . and in terms of the number of people moving out of ukraine and into russia, we've had tens of thousands in just 2 days. do you have any indication of the numbers in the next few days to expect many more, a big influx was regards to the, to the evacuation that you're talking about. the i see is not participating. so therefore, i will not be able to give you any particular figures, but if to speak, please go up. yeah, sure. the if to speak about the people that arriving on the chatter of the russian federation to what we know is the russian which cross. i'll main partner here is already conducting a needs assessment to be able also to respond and help people on the other side. no, the red cross isn't a military observing organization, but there's been

a lot of accusations you've probably been hearing about about who's attacking, who in easton, ukraine. do you have any information on that from your colleagues in the area? as you lately mentioned, we are exactly in under the zation to so that on the table and discuss such issues, what we do witness is that there are emerging humanitarian needs of the people. and i'll call here again, is that the civilians and the civilian infrastructure must be spread from the hostilities and we call all the sites. so if you had any indication from what president landscape was claiming that it's a self imposed attacks from people within the east in ukraine, where i could say from the perspective of the neutral and impartial humanity in their conditions that our 1st and foremost priority as the needs of the people that are actually from the current, intensification of the how still it is and that is really important that civilians

and the civilian infrastructure especially and this is what i could really tell you . okay. certainly busy days ahead for you really appreciate you taking the time to talk to us this afternoon, getting about some of the from the international red cross in moscow. thanks again . in the next ukrainian president flooding his landscape, says kiev could reconsider the country's non nuclear status. during a speech of the munich security conference, as we can your present, i have instructed the foreign ministry to convene a summit of the budapest memorandum signatory countryside. if it fails to take place or refuses to provide security guarantees to ukraine, he will regard it in the closest signed in 1900. 94 is null and void when they get more or less. explain what this means for current security. a crisis around ukraine stuff gets across this force, supposed to talk back to what agreement in the ninety's, i'm sure we'll explain that to us. but this could be interpreted what mr. lensky

said in a few ways, one of which is pretty chilling to consider. while i look, we knew that term used to be a comedian, but this really does seem a joke too far because just to be clear, tearing up the budapest memorandum means that ukraine goes neutral, quite literally. the back story is, is that some of the soviet union was collapsing, key of, pushed by the u. s. and the u. k. agreed to give up its nature to austin all. so everything strategic bombers, intercontinental ballistic missiles, was, has well handed over to russia, which was of course, a successor to the u. s. a saw it was in fact one of the conditions upon which washington recognized and supported ukrainian independence. he said, you guys are good to go bought 2 things. one said the weapons and to please what have you do. don't turn into a hateful nation. americans will not support those who seek independence in order to replace a far off karen with

a local despotism. they will not aid those who promote a suicidal nationalism based upon ethnic hatred. while bush senior was like, he came back to haunt him because just for an example in 2014, after the crime man referendum unit to mishenko for me, ukrainian prime minister. how one of hudson leaked and what did we hear a pledge you know, to continue nonproliferation and tolerance and from the, from the countries political stablish went, know what we heard unfortunately, was about forms and killing yanagishta, which is just my hope i use all of my connections and the whole world will rise against the russians, but them into oblivion. we need to kill them all with a nuclear weapons re requested. what's most shedding is that she wasn't there. and one we were hearing very similar sentiments from ambassadors and from the people themselves. at that time, around 50 percent of the ukrainian people supported neat killer rearmament falls

forward, a yes, the munich security conference. and it seems that really the sentiment is alive and kicking, that was from a lead phone call. what president lensky was saying, we should be in security conference. it's been going for decades, or a world leaders, military top brass. there were there at least a few raised eyebrows of what he said, well, you would have hope so. i mean, the context are, of course, so different, you know, this is, i would argue much more terrifying. zelinski isn't on the phone chatting to a friend about his wild fantasy if you know committing a massacre of ethnic russians. he is literally standing on the wild stage in front of the global elite saying that he might well renee, on one of the most significant documents of the 20th century. it's really, i would argue not far from being political blackmail. because essentially what he's saying is on the fool of you who's sitting in front me, start doing something. are you preemptively functioning moscow for what we're not sure yet. the has been no invasion. we thought setting me more money, more weapons, more troops than i will fly up on new facilities again. now, whoa, the west, to put it mildly. i think we can say it's not russia's biggest fan. i think even

they recognize that this would be total madness in terms of whether this could actually pan alex or run ahead of ourselves could just be a bit of political side i on a big stage. could it be a bluff? i mean, it could be bluff, i mean, what i was, you know, trying to say is altered, that all we heard from, from a german envoy was that, oh, you know, let's not talk about it should be, we should be focusing on the escalation. i mean, it is disappointing. i would say that we're not hearing more outrage on condemnation. you know, people arching zelinski to to retract suction in century statement, but then maybe we shouldn't be surprised. you know, nate to when it's allies have been really bad. pressing kids to abide by. it's a very simple thought, 100 points in minsk agreements. and therein said, claiming that the kremlin is the only volley to despite, of course, and this is something we've been talking about, a lot independent monitors on the ground. saying that actually that's not entirely what is going on there by nations on both sides. but it's one thing you know,

to kind of turn a blind eye to local level flare ups and regional sci fi violations. that's another thing. and tardies even entertain the idea of ukraine restarting its nuclear program regarding the bluff issue. look, i mean ukraine, just to be clear. back in the day had the walls, 3rd largest, nucular, austin, all just one of its warheads exploded. would be the size of the 30000 times the size of the horizon, atomic form 7 time for one kid a warhead. but obviously on the budapest memorandum, those facilities will broken down and shut up. so yes, it would be a stretched box. still a lot of the crucial elements are still in place in ukraine. so i'm talking about, for example, research reactor or the capabilities to develop bill delivery vehicles, missiles across, obviously the expertise and crucially, you run uranium mining. so yes, it would be costly and something we've been talking about. ready,

the countries crippled, you know, it's on the brink of economic ruin. yes, it would be time consuming and so we've been know, we're narrow, visible levels of russia will be us. but it would still be nice capability at a time. obviously we can talk about global tension and to thought in europe, you know, in a country that still in the throes of civil war. the so much instability in a country that unfortunately has shown itself by repeatedly shelling its own citizens, already shown a disregard for peace, ensuring measure. so like he said from the very beginning this, this is chilling and it should be horrifying to the global community, especially since they all claim to be about diplomacy into di escalation. yeah. and you know, well, the fun thing i noticed is the differing interpretations of documents over the decade. it used to be the open wounds in this rather, sorry, state of affairs. doesn't it? all right, sounds good. thanks very much for that. on the roller, the headline news than an 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 on for almost a month against covered restrictions and vaccine mandates. please stepped in to re take control of the streets in front of parliament. authorities say some demonstrate as were in body armor, while others carried smoke grenades and fireworks for protest. leaders were among both arrested on top of that distressing video being shared online shows mounted police forcing their way through crowds this weekend. oh my oh my goodness. oh i got you. well good. yeah. oh oh i. 7 some protest is we're filmed. kneeling in prayer,

been an apparent show of peace and unity. canadian christian passes made a joint statement condemning the invocation of emergency powers and the government's quote, tyrannical actions. freedom, combo representatives also denounced the government's use of force against the protest as in the capitol, adding that they've off. the truck has to move from the parliament precinct to avoid further clashes many of gathered and not worth of accused. the authority of being too heavy ended 120 days and they're being very heavy handed. today they're pushing back with dream. this is not candidate guys, this is a dictatorship, you know, running our country with our dream team. i stepped in between her and them. so i couldn't take her, and they tricked me out from under my feet underneath. thank god man, i guys told me right back joe. right, so here i'll be entering all to a police chief says he's pleased with the progress in removing the demonstrators.

we've made some very important progress in safely removing this unlawful protest from our streets. we backed up those warnings with a deliberate and methodical operation using lawful and safe tactics. we are, we all saw that this is, the protesters 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 come organize a rick wall accuses the canadian government of violating people's constitutional rights. we have denied so many of our rights the last couple years. and now 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 rates are peaceful protests. that's the one last freedom that we feel we have left in the country and now even not to be stripped away from us. so 6 dream 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 an exact opposite from what we should see from a democratic peaceful country. are there any is just taking place in canada's capital? us truck has joined the canadian counterparts to again block the border between that countries. online fundraisers for the protests have also been blocked and the accounts with people linked to the demonstrations frozen, leaving some other than 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 touch points 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 which way they way but there's like about a 1000 people here like i said, 90 was but you still. 2 got, you know, people why it's shocking this is the opposite side of canada, right? this is the opposite. charging auto rainy day. you phillips out, people coming out to me and the government mandate issue. these have been known vall, it demonstrates, is that the bank accounts below emergencies that has been used as that goes down. yeah, so i'm speaking some people on the ground here. they've traveled from hours out. say, i was everything i've donated. i've taken part in a tomboy protest. 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 them all across the country of other projects 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 kill as toronto, ottawa city to cross country that are not going to shop lane or shine. cuz that's how sunday shaping up here on the international. been a busy weekend of developments which are continuing to update you and for now, andrew farmer over the next few hours in fact. and then kevin, i'm in for the rest of your sometime from a clean break from the rest of the weekend. ah,

join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then in oh, more than 20 years and 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, not all wounds healed. the survivors and respond does have increased rates of cancer and other health issues due to the dust and chemicals they inhaled. i come here to get my blood cleaned out. of the metals, a lot of blood in my blood. in terms of 1st

responder was well over a 100001st responders in there was some estimates that tend to 20 percent still have to yeah yeah. but the chief with my wife cherish the minute i have the only friends i thought i was humbled before this really home was you appreciate why they were all those driven by dreamers shaped by frontier. so those with there's things we dare to ask.

mm mm mm. mm ah mm mm mm mm mm.
