very critical time to sit down and talk with that on to now t 2 people are reported killed in artillery. shelling in east in ukraine made a severe escalation of the conflict in the region. meanwhile, i would never have left, but i had a stroke and i had to come home. my wife, so afraid if my help would have allowed me, i would have joined the militia, fortunately, their homes due to the fighting, but with hopes of coming back more than 40000 residents of the ukraine have crossed the border to safety in russia, where the government is providing accommodations to be evacuated, plus in other news this, i think that's why you're going to keep the new project. why they have nothing to desperate yet define protests. there's a pushback by police and ottawa, has the canadian government seeks to stand packed weeks long demonstrations against

the cove. it vaccine mad with hello. good afternoon. just gone for o'clock in moscow. watching archie international now to civilians were reportedly killed in artillery shelling this morning and east in ukraine. it happened in the breakaway against republic. the village was shelled at 5 a. m. as people slept. these are images of the house where the civilians are, were apparently killed for other homes were also destroyed in the shelling against people's militia, blames the attack on caves forces. while the heads of the self proclaimed against kinetic republics earlier nights, the general mobilization of their armed forces, text messages have been sent to all men age between 18 and 55. to show up meeting points to join the army, but is more against the f as more another violent nice here in the nets. we heard

the last we hug. shelling was at 6 30 in the morning where about a dozen or so rounds impacts you could tell by the, the unique sound that they make. but heard to the west of the city, which is the location of the nearest airport, which is where the front lines are 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 sees while 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 a good to hear an explosion just just, just for reference in the past in 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 rams falling into the city so far the, the violence has been centered on the outskirts of vignettes. this 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, an offensive by the ukrainian military is imminent. in fact, just a few minutes ago, iron law, the mobile phones here in the near to receive 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 would be necessary. the enemy, as he say, is on our doorstep, we must fight back on 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. i'm tired to be honest with you. you isn't, you says the special than yes, i've lived in and that's all my life. i'm a lawyer by education. they called told me to come to the military and lisben office. i have combat experience in 2014, 1516, and 17. i'm trying to be ready for anything. 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 net score lugens just to the north of the nets. nevertheless, wall preparations here are underway. local authorities say 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 light, they say more than a 100000 ukrainian troops aligned up on the board. then we have seen the same image

replace over the past few days, time and time again, and that is tearful, good buzz wives and daughters saying good bye to that husbands who have gone to enlist the join the ranks of the defendants. 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 ukrainian troops over the for over the course of the last the week. also a we also heard from a foreign journalism c, n n a p saying that they was shell on the other side of the conflict line on the ukrainian side. so certainly she's for violations of being registered for both in the breakaway republics and on the ukrainian side of the conflict lud, the, the fear is of course he and 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 mcgasey at that when it's not been at today since the rescue operation began in the break. why don't bash republics with more than 40000 imaculi's having crossed the border into russia, artist on quarter reports now from one of the camps set up to accommodate the 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 bus region of eastern ukraine region were huge. oh, my wife and i, a hair. i would never have left, but i had a stroke. 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 perfect hit, the food is good,

everything is free. we don't need anything else. no not damaged. my wife wanted to return to day was read abandoned, a farm over that. well, it may be to go back quickly and check on everything that 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 boss 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 queues waiting right next to these vans right here. with the logo from rushes largest bank sped bunk, 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, evacuate have already reached the russian federation. and in the roast of region alone, almost $100.00 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 rushes done for them, but the thing they want most of all this to be able to return home donald quarter r t rust off. we're on 30 russian regions are ready to host people who fed the escalating conflict in east in ukraine. any of them are currently being housed in temporary camps in rushes ra stuff region, which does border the 2 self proclaimed republics. we, molly training president vladimir zalinski says he have could reconsider the

countries non nuclear status. he made the comments during his speech at the munich security conference. yes, miss them. i have instructed the foreign ministry to convene a summit of the budapest memorandum signet free countries. if it fails to take place or refuses to provide security guarantees to ukraine, careful regard it and the close is signed in 1994 as no void. we all know that silence is to be a comedian, but this really does seem a joke too far. just to be clear, tearing up the budapest memorandum means that ukraine goes nuclear, quite literally. and the backdrop to this is that as the soviet union was collapsing, key of pushed by the u. s. and the u. k. gave up all it's nick, can i, austin? also everything from strategic bombers to wool heads to intercontinental ballistic missiles were handed over to russia. the successor, of course, to the u. s. a thought it was, in fact, one of the conditions on which washington recognized unsupported ukrainian

independence said you're good to go. just 2 things. one is the weapons and to please just please don't turn in to a hateful nation. americans will not support those who seek independence in order to replace a far off tyranny with a local despotism. they will not aid those who promote a suicidal nationalism based upon ethnic hatred. while bush senior was likely came back to haunt him because in 2014, off to the crime men referendum eula to mishenko, former ukrainian prime minister had one of have phone calls leaked. and what did we have from the countries political establishment? a pledge to continue the non proliferation and tolerance. no unforeseen, what we had, put on farms and killing yanagishta of creatures you. i hope i'll use all of my connections and the whole world will rise against the russians and bump them into oblivion. we need to kill them all with nuclear weapons and she wasn't one rogue

voice. we had this occurred by ambassadors and the people to in fact, at that time in 2014, almost 5th percent of ukrainians, supported nuclear rearmament falls forward a is to the music security conference. and this isn't the lensky chatting on the phone to his friend about his wild fun to see, you know, to massacre ethnic russians as it was with tymoshenko. he is, in all seriousness standing before the global lead and saying, i am considering we're making on one of the most significant documents of the 20th century. and it's really not far from being political blackmail because essentially zelinski saying, unless you own in front of me, do more, send me more weapons, more money, more troops preemptively. sanction moscow for what we're not sure. then i will fire up those nikita factories again. and while to put a multi, especially at the moment, the west is not russia's biggest fun, i think even it recognizes that this would be total madness. the budapest memorandum is indeed a format without legal obligations under international law. but i think that now we

need to try everything to avoid war. i mean, i would say that it's disappointing, that we're not hearing more outrage and condemnation from the west, new jersey and steven rescind such an in century statement. but then maybe it's not surprising, unfortunate. we've seen it every single time how nato and its allies of failing to press key of to abide by those very simple fighting points in the midst agreements . instead, claiming that the kremlin is the only violated up despite independent monitors. on the ground, easton crane saying, well, that's actually not entirely the case just so that we understand back in the day ukraine what had the world's biggest nickina austin old just one of its heads exploded. was about $37.00 times the size of the hiroshima atomic bomb $37.00 times . as part of the budapest memorandum, those facilities were destroyed. so yes, it would be a stretch. now that said, crucial elements are still in place. i'm talking about uranium mining. obviously the expertise a re such react to and the capability to build delivery vehicles,

missiles and aircraft. yes, it would be costly, crippling, in fact, especially for a country already on brink of economic growth. and yes, it would be time consuming. i know it would never be anywhere near the levels that we bought here in russia where in the us, but it would still be new capability at a time of global tension, an instability in europe, in a country that's ready in the throes of civil war. and in the hands of a government, which of parts has shown us by selling its own citizens ready displays a disregard for peace, ensuring measures thence these was, should fill the global community with horror, especially if, as it claims its on the side of diplomacy and the escalation okay, well let's get the thought now the independent journalist, li grenay who joined us to sunday afternoon and is always very welcome. thanks for coming on. what is present and then sky trying to do, hey g, think with this threat of abandoning the budapest memorandum?

good question, because so the impression he gives in munich is that he's losing his marbles on how he's very nervous and he says so many different things on the same day that it's incredible wants to make a president put. and then he says that he doesn't know what russia wants all, isn't it clear yet? and our 30 says that he wants a date for joining nato. and then he speaks of the budapest memorandum, of course, on that as saskia are very well explained, which is incredibly dangerous because the hot heads in the west of ukraine are really dangerous people. i wonder if the european union understands who de support, you know, it's not always zalinski who is a good actor, but it's the people involved in other places that that are really dangerous persons . and it's to me that the real surprise is how little or sheila underlay and ended deciders in brussels. understand about the human geography of ukraine. you know,

most populations east of didn't. yep. read out russian speaking forever. and it did do use of languages in your brain is a real scandal for, for conscious like spain and all that has so strong minority of different and which for belgium, for switzerland, for italy, with the ottawa, gee, all these countries, they would be incredibly surprised to hear what ukraine does to the russian speakers in terms of the use of languages. so i don't know what, what he wants zelinski now. i really don't know. i noticed one that he did say he called for the sing trees of the budapest manner memorandum to come together and talk. i mean, you know, that involves you train russia, the u. k. and also the u. s. potentially. could that be a way out of the crisis? it is not the same format as the normal the format, so it is not very bright to have oh, different formats of people discussing it,

but with different countries involved. i think the, the clear key is that dement agreement and the fact that it must be respected. there were 2 agreements and the 2nd one means autonomy at least temporary for the 2 separatist regions. and also a pardon for. busy all people who participated in the war in the civil war, within your crime, between the care of army and the, and the separatist republic. so tanya is going to cost. so this is the key. this is where things can come down. and contrary to what mr. burrell said, yes, that a 9 to 20 to 40 in this press release. for example, he congratulated, for example, ukraine, 4 inch restrained in front of the shelling by the bad people, of course, in lieu ganske and don't, yes, i mean, this is a 2 way bombing, you know,

and the always, he observes, to do the blue helmets. they say so it is a border conflict between these 2 republics and m. o. ukraine, that has lasted now for 7 years. and there is nothing much you except that they shoot more, but they should come down. that's where we must make an effort. in therapist, france, germany, russia, and you credit of course that have to go for it. so that is the best form and i think, you know, rest of the, taking the, you, budapest. memorandum is not a good idea. really not. you know, people say they want to primacy, but i'd like to remind you of what the british prime minister said at the security conference. this is what he kind about rush his intentions that she's listen afraid to say that the, the plan that we're seeing is for something that could be really the, the biggest war in europe since 1945. and just in terms of sheer scale,

why does he is rhetoric like that, which is really ramping it up when even ukraine is saying at the moment that an invasion isn't imminent? well, boys johnson 1st had to hide his problems in the garden of 10 down the street where the pines, when he shouldn't have had a pint. and that was his 1st personal scare. now it's a bit better. he is still prime minister, astonishingly, and he wants to, to, to be seen as a, as a, as a very strong character as to russia. you want to wage war in europe again. you know, so it is, it is very bad to hear that from one of the most prominent of prime ministers in europe because it is very dangerous to engaging in such language because there is no reason to mr. johnson, the sense that most of that sort of rhetoric is coming from the u. k. in the us and

not predominantly from you are a pain countries of the european countries. absolutely. you know, unfortunately, european press relays, the pentagon press release. that's astonishing. that is, you know, it's very strange. i read a french newspaper center why lucy got to be to be frank and in there the article. so all of them are just translations from the america and go, water is coming and russia is the bad side, etc, etc. but when you see the comments of the readers real readers, i want to feel they all say commer. this is not what you describe. why don't your journalists do some investigative work, you know? and so i think that germany, for example, france are totally different in their attitude to with russia and ukraine than america, which is credible. mr. biden. speaking of the bomb to coming bombing, your care where there are innocent people, of course miss biden's,

the videos are innocence, everywhere. so america is going to missouri about this. europe not on germany is very, very white. they think of north string to and other things. interesting to tokyo, kayla. we're going to leave it there, but they're always good to have the one that was like really independent journalist speaking to a staff from brussels in belgium. thank you. thank you. ah, now in canada, police in riot gear. have sweat through the capital, they're resting, at least a 170 demonstrate is over the past 2 days and towing away blockading trucks is the government pushes to finally stand back. persistent protests that have gone on for almost a month now against those cobit restrictions. and vaccine mandates or police that didn't to retake control the street in front of parliament authority. see say that some demonstrators were in body armor, while others carried smoke grenades and fireworks full protest. ladies were among those arrested distressing video. t has been shared online that shows mounted

police forcing their way through crowds this weekend. oh my goodness. oh good. good. yeah. oh i oh, i was i'm protest is were filmed kneeling in prayer and parents show of peace and unity. canadian christian pastors made a joint statement to condemning indication of emergency powers and the government's quote, tyrannical actions. we can convoy representatives also finance the government, use of force against the protest is in the capitol. adding that they've asked the truckers to move from the parliament precinct to avoid further clashes many who

gathered in or to the keys. the authorities of being too heavy handed here 20 days and they're being very heavy handed. today they're pushing back the dream. this is not candidate guys, visit the dictatorship, you know, running our country on the board with our dream team. i got i stepped in between her and them so i couldn't take her and they tricked me out from under my feet. feet underneath. thank god man, i guys told me right back joe. right. so here, while the inter mall police chief to say that he is pleased with the progress this be made and 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 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 convoy hogan i to recall accuses the canadian government though of violating people's constitutional rights. we have denied for many of our rights the last couple of 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 that, you know, we're practicing our, our rates 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 6 truly 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, i feel that our federal government is basically trying to control each and every single canadian at this point. that they haven't even as much as open up an

opportunity to dialogue with the federal government. i think it's, it's very disturbing in the exact opposite from what we should see from a democratic peaceful country where the rallies are not just taking place. and kind of this capital us truck is, have joined their canadian counterparts to again block the border between the countries. on line fundraisers meanwhile, for the protests have also been blocked and the kinds of people linked to the demonstrations frozen, leaving some in financial limbo journalists, blogger, or in southern who spoke to us from the board, told kevin owen that suspending bank accounts will actually back fire on the government, i'd say 90 percent of the trucks, 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 have actually shut down 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. because 212 was which way they play, but there's like about a 1000 people. you're like i said 90 percent of lot. but you still got, you know, 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 of media and the government mandate issue. these have been known vall, it demonstrates is the banking trans floppy emergencies that has been used as that going down. yeah, so i'm speaking to some people on the ground here. they travel from hours out to say i was everything i've donated. i've taken part in a tomboy protest. 2 and now i'm not even going to the bank channel 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 to lose at that point. and this is going to be interesting to note the play because he may squash the protest in ottawa. but you can have a crazy walk of 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 toronto, ottawa, city to cross country that are not going to shop lane or shine. not the baking winter olympics. closing ceremony is currently taking place early at the rough in ice hockey teen did miss out on the final gold by being narrowly defeated by finland. and it did wrap up pretty eventful games too, with plenty of drama on and off the ice. looking back at the last 2 weeks of competition in the chinese capital, his alexi our ships 25th when til lympics wraps up in bay gene comfortably worn by

team norway. with 16 golds and 37 metals overall, r o c team or russia, ended up in 9th with 32 metals, 6 of them gold. but it is the best ever result for team r o. c. in the olympic competition. the previous record of 29 metals was a comparatively broken on saturday. a bit of a sour appeal on the last day of the lympics. here as russia's ice, hockey t mail team was competing for gold, but ended up losing till finland, 2 girls to one. nevertheless, it's a silver metal still more than many expected from the team here at the olympics. and that's the model number 32 for russia, head of the russian olympic committee and left with a gulf already said that he was really happy with the way team performed, especially in the rather difficult circumstances here, both climb magically and off the pitch sorting. of course, with heavy anti coven restrictions here in beijing, affecting both media workers, stuff at the games and athletes themselves as well. to things like climate in the

judge, john cole, mountain gloucester, a very strong wind, very severe sub 0 temperatures. the even some of the skiing races have to be moved . but on that for on r o c t did exceptionally well like sound which became the 1st skia to win 5 metals in single olympic games. but off the pitch as well. of course the case of camilla volley dominated the headlines there. there were times when it seemed that some of the journalists here forgot about the against themselves. they forgot about metals being one, the only talking about the 15 year old russian ice skater. we of course, yet to see the end of that story. obviously it will be resolved in courts after the olympics is over. after everyone flies home, we'll obviously keep you updated on everything happening there. but clearly it's been one of the most poisonous small stock sec issues here at the olympics. and that largely affected the mood of a lot of people involved here. i have to say, i know, and all i have to say and many,

many aspects. it was an excruciating experience here with daily cove. it tasked with living in a bubble with so many restrictions imposed upon us. i would say many people are now relieved, genuinely, they will be flying home and back to their normal life. but the promise of the chinese authorities from the onset was that these games will be absolutely safe. in that respect that did work, there were not many covet cases inside the bubble. those who are tested positive for immediate ascent into quarantine and spend some of the women spent 2 weeks there in the warranty and missing the majority of the games. but nevertheless, the initial concerns initial maybe even somewhat of a panic before the olympic start. this will be heavily riddled with on the cross with call it that didn't prove to be the case in that respect. games was absolutely immaculate. so most of the teams, the media personnel will be going home on monday, myself included will be flying together with the russian olympic team because i will keep you updated on any further developments after beijing,

especially when it comes to the case of come, you haven't even alexia f, f e r t reporting from aging, and china just approaching are possible here in moscow. nice to be company will be back out with more stories even about half an hour to get in the meantime, we've always got plenty of stories that are website we can find that ah, driven time shaped by those. in me there's things we dare to ask in

oh.
