demonstrations against the co faxing mandate with good afternoon, just gone. 5 here in moscow you watching artie international now to civilians were reportedly killed in artillery shelling this morning in east in ukraine. it happened in the break away la ganske republic. the village was shelled at about 5 a. m is people slept these images of the house where the civilians were apparently killed for other homes were also destroyed in the shelling will, against people's militia, blames the attack on caves, forces. now the heads of the self proclaimed against convenience. republic, sir, you announced to general mobilization for their armed forces. text messages have been sent to all men age between 18 and 55 to show up at meeting points to join the army. not is more against the f as more another violent not here in the

nets. we had the last we had 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 her 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 seats for 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 and 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 will be necessary. 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. i'm tired to be honest with you as this is puzzled 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 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 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 and offensive operation here in the near school lugens just to the north of than yet. nevertheless, wall preparations here are underway, local authority, 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 like they say more than a 100000 ukranian troops aligned up on the board. then we have seen the same image

replays over the past few days. time and time again. and that is tearful, good buzz wives and daughters saying good bye. their 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 over the course of the last the week or so. we also heard from a foreign journalists and c, n n, a p, saying that they was shell on the other side of the conflict line on the ukrainian side. so suddenly she's fly violations of being registered. both in the breakaway republics and on the ukrainian side of the conflict blood 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 were against the affair when

a spokesperson for the red cross, his delegation here in moscow has explained the effects. the escalation in the ukraine has had on the civilian population. reportedly we saw that 2 of the beak bumping station in the dawn, yet cree jen been she had and damaged by the hostilities currently which got about 1000000 people from the access to water. and that's really worrying 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 sped. because this is key for the survival of the population, is to speak about the people that arriving on the touch 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.

really hope that people who suffered so much already don't have to suffer more like it's not being today since the rescue operation began in the break way. dumbass republics, with more than 40000 evacuation, having crossed the border into russia. art is don't. quarter reports now from one of the camps set up to accommodate them. this is, this is 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 good. and i wouldn't have left. it's just that i had a stroke. i always stayed her. now i left everything. everyone behind kittens dogs was my go to supposed to give birth. everything's left. it is perfect . were being fed well, there's a tv like home. they call us saying this heavy shelling. why are they shelling? i'm not afraid,

but you couldn't leave me alone. i can barely walk. my wife is scared. she came on the heavy shelling. will you? yeah, i wouldn't have left. i stayed there in 2016. not leaving your. yeah. when you were here. yeah. i wouldn't have left. i'm not afraid of anything. it's all the same to me. i'm used to it. i was a soldier in the past. i'm used to it. but her, she's shaking, stuttering. when you, if i were healthy, 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 cues waiting right next to these vans right here with the logo from rushes largest bank spit 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 $40000.00 don boss evacuees have already reached the russian federation. and in the rest 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 is to be able to return home donald quarter r t roster of what has gone mentioned. iran says he, russian regions are ready to house paper. he fred, the escalating complaints in easton, ukraine. many of them are currently being housed in temporary camps and rushes

dross. self region which po, just the 2 self proclaimed republics. hayes, won't paypal their hats to tell us? no clue. the conditions here are good. we had breakfasts, lunch, we've been provided with beds. everything is on a good level. the only thing is that there are too many people here. scores of buses, awful. we spend whole nights sleeping in buses. i'm here with my grand daughter, people a good here they help us a lot. my husband's son, daughter, and grandson, state and don boss they done. now if it's worth coming here, we're afraid that 2014 may repeat itself. oh no. another developments, the crowning president vladimir zalinski says the key of could reconsider the countries non nuclear status. he made the comment during a speech at the munich security conference. jojo was then by of instructed, the foreign ministry to convene a summit of the budapest memorandum signet 3 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 note and void, we all know that the answer 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 here of pushed by the u. s. and the u. k. gave up all it's nick killer arsenal. so 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, news, the weapons and to please just please don't turn into 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 seniors was likely came back to haunt him because in 2014, off to the crime in referendum eula to mishenko for me ukrainian prime minister had one of have phone calls leaked. and what did we have from the countries political establishment pledged to continue the non proliferation and tolerance? no, unfortunately what we had talked of phones. i'm telling you, i hope i'll use all of my connections and the whole world will rise against the russians and bummed them into oblivion. we need to kill them all with nuclear weapons and she wasn't one rogue voice. we heard this occurred by ambassadors and the people to in fact, at that time in 2014, almost 50 percent of ukrainian supported nuclear rearmament. fast forward a is to the music security conference. and this isn't the lensky chatting on the

phone to his friend about his wild fantasy, 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 zalinski saying, unless you own in front of me, do more, send me more weapons, more money, more troops preemptively sanctioned 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 rushed as big as 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 jeans, and stephen rescind such an incendiary 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 side by those very simple fighting points in the midst agreements, instead, claiming that the criminal is the only violated ups, despite independent monitors on the ground east in ukraine, saying well, that's actually not entirely the case just so that we understand back in the day ukraine, what had the world's thought, biggest new killer arsenal. just one of the war has exploded was about 37 times the size of the wash, my atomic bomb 37 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 research reactor and the capability to build delivery vehicles, missiles and aircraft. yes, it would be costly, crippling, in fact, especially for a country ready on the brink of economic ruin. yes, it would be time consuming. i know it would never be anywhere near the levels that we bought here and 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 that he was should fill the global community with horror, especially if, as it claims its on the side of diplomacy and de escalation. okay, well let's get the thoughts now. market gas engine, international affairs commentator about this story and marco, in your opinion, what is presidents lensky trying to achieve here with this threat of abandoning the budapest memorandum i think he's trying to upgrade a peer, the kevin, a government's image or itself was the victim in this story, the care of as the, as the a government which sacrificed its chance to be a nuclear power and believed in others and has now been turned over and deceived.

and so, and that's really what he's trying to do. he's trying to put that on the map and therefore to effect, to reclaim more aids are going forward as a result of this sacrifice that be made in the past. i think that's what he's planning, or that's what he's positioning with a statement. he said, we each sort of saying he's trying to bluff harell. would there be a serious intention on his part to try and develop nuclear weapons? you think? i don't think there would be a serious intention on his part to develop nuclear weapons. a be a that kind of scenario would be pointless out. ukraine has some elements required, but like certain crucial ones. and at the end of the day, it faces on its eastern side, a potential opponent who would be infinitely better armed, unable to defend itself, that he would be able to attack it. so it doesn't make any sense whatsoever for him to, to or to go down that direction in my opinion. okay. another thing he has said tave

is that he would like where he's called all the signatories of the 3 to pass memorandum to get together and talk about them. he crane security guarantees. is that a good idea? is that a possible way out of this crisis? i think security guarantees needs to be given in both directions and that's really the colonel of this problem. essentially, we need security guarantees or he would say for ukraine or the dom bus, ukrainians would say for the dom bus. and the russia would say for a rush or itself for everyone needs a security guarantee. the medical we need a new security architecture which can bestow this blessing upon everybody. and if we don't get that, we won't get security for anybody. there is everybody, nobody and at the moment market does seem far away from that, isn't it? because if you listen to what the british prime minister had to say, the security conference is a pretty damning. this is what he said about his thought. some rush his intentions

. let's just listen. i'm afraid to say that the, the plan that we're seeing is for something that could be really the, the biggest, more in europe since 1945 in just in terms of sheer scale. what he thinks is ramping up the rhetoric to this extent mark a when even ukraine is saying it, the mind that it does not think an invasion is imminent. well, i think it's to justify all the, all the, the false, the invasion story that's going on. so far, but even in the substances statement that he makes, the only war in europe since $945.00 was nights as a some jake, they attack on serbia and montenegro. and in the end notes, i'd say, effectually call a kind of truce and settle the terms less than it would a land at the beginning. if there was a wall between russia and ukraine, india much sure to war with only one definite winner, or that you can really compare them by this story. all the war, as i say, is really just joining a long range of false stories from western propaganda outlets buttressed by western

politicians. a diplomat suits definitely know better than to think that this is the truth. there is no truth to the story. the only way they could be true to the stories if they persuaded russia into some part of the don barzyk in defense of the dom bus or groups. and if that was the case, they could claim it to be some kind of russian aggression. so that would be another full source of all the, all the full stories that we've actually heard of so far in reality and t sensor markets when the head is still to rhetoric, it generally does come from the cane, the west. if you listen to what the rest of europe saying is it more reserved? obviously there is concern, but it's not at the same level. it seems i think that the rest of europe lee or that the european union you could say, is really for know a, a normalizing all relations between itself and russia, which is in the collective interest of everybody, the energy security of everybody, the, or the lowering is ridiculous energy prices for everybody. all that is at stake here

. and if we take a hawk position adopted by the u. s. on the u. k. a roller to often really where jeopardizing a new chance of european or piece but also chance of living standards are staying anything like they've been so far. because the effects of this crisis, this unnecessary induced falsified crisis on energy prices and living standards in europe including the u. k, is also real. oh so that's, that's what's at stake here. i think we need to end the rhetoric and take the take the position re over all the europeans, which is to actually deescalate the escalates and deescalate. okay, on that night we'll leave it mark a good to tell you that was mark a gas h and international affairs commentator. thanks for coming on. and q ok now in other news, at a, in canada police in riot gear have sweat through the capital layer arresting at least 270 demonstrators over the past 2 days and towing away blockading trucks is

the government pushes to finally stand packed, persistent protests that have gone on for almost a month now against covert restrictions and vaccine mandates. please steps in to, to retake controlled the street in front of parliament authority say some demonstrations there were in body armor, while others carried smoke grenades and fireworks full processed leaders. were among these arrested distressing video teams being shared online in the moment, sharing mounted police forcing their way through crowds at the weekend. oh my goodness. oh i got you. well good you. ah, i oh,

i would. some protesters were filled, kneeling in prayer and in the parent share with paste unity. canadian christian pastors made a joint statement condemning the indication of emergency powers and the government's quite tyrannical actions. freedom conway representatives also denounced. the government's use of force against the protest is in the capital adding that they've asked the truck is to move from the parliament precinct to avoid further clashes many. he's got to not have a keys. the authorities have being too heavy handed for 20 days and they're being very every here today they're pushing back a. this is not janitor guys, visit the dictatorship. judo is learning our country. i'm applaud with stories. i stepped in between her and them so they couldn't take her here and they took me out from under my feet

. i feet underneath them. thank god man. these guys pulled me right back out. right . so here we go on, despite the criticism that the entry multiple police chief to say he's police the progress that has been made 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 convoy, you organized a recall, a key to the canadian government to violating people's constitutional rights. we have denied so many of our rights. the last couple of years and now people have taken action and say 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 race a piece of protest, that's the one last freedom that we feel we have left in the country. and now even that's 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, it's very disturbing in the exact opposite from what we should see from a democratic peaceful country. well there are to not just taking place in canada as capital us truckers have joined the canadian counterparts to again brock. the border between the 2 countries. online fundraisers for the protests have also been blocked and the accounts of people linked to the demonstrations frozen, leaving some in finding financial limbo, journalist and braga, lauren southern,

who spoke to us from the border told kevin owen that suspending bank accounts could 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 we have actually shut down and checkpoints with raj to ensure that no convoys got to go there to shut it down to see how many people are going to that use organization. because $212.00 was which way they went. but there's like about a 1000 people your like i said, 90 percent of what 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 just to media and the government mandate issue. these have been

known. violet demonstrates is that the sankey crowns floppy emergencies that have been used as that goes down. yeah, so i'm speaking 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 the 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 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 then to camp out whether it be killed as toronto, ottawa city to cross country that are not going to shop lane or shine

britain main opposition parties demanding an investigation into whether individuals connect with the kremlin, have been buying influence, embarrass johnson's government with millions of pounds in donations. they partied us see the case. thomas says russian sources have contributed to around 2000000 pounds to johnson's tory party since became prime minister. 2 years ago. the spot flight focused on jewel british and russian citizens as any body with the rights of those in the u. k by law, has the right to make campaign donations. political commentator anthony webber says russia though is being unfairly targeted amid escalating tensions, ivy crank all the political policies received to deny issues some quite large. and some of these that asians are from people who originally from various other countries in the world. so if they want to just pinpoint

some which should come from people who were russian systems and had been hard to change pressures, baez's, then they need to it's fun my accusation and response ball policy because that's cool. donations to people from all countries. i'm not just target russia, if donations from russian individuals were so much influence, why have they not influenced the government policy towards russia and ukraine are not, not at all the way shape or form. and, but you could argue the government's position is actually quite hard. while i remember flexible, what is solely need is for some independent mind me phase to not necessarily stick up for russia. but since star insisting that the british

interests are locked off in that global contracts and, and russia is out with his family as any other country in the world. and interruption group transparency international ha, san britain, is a global hub for money laundering. while placing much the blame on alleged russian influence buying, the group reported that russians connected with the kremlin were involved in g p. s . business practices have bought up c y one and a half 1000000000 pounds worth of property in the u. k. about a 3rd of which is in the country's political center, westminster. and it's linked over 2000 british registered companies to russian corruption cases. but anthony webber, again, does say russia shouldn't be single day for a world wide problem. is why do we, she was not just individuals from one country as a very broad scalping. so you can't just take long country and say, well,

it's all fall because it isn't as well. my problem was wealthy individuals, wealthy corporations, somebody here trying to g, r, general, united, quite genuine avoidance, all paying tax and some where they're trying to avoid paying taxes. i should be paying. so it's quite a complicated subject, but a change for the school as well as economic, as well as individual. and as your new rapp per so far today, that's havanese is looking this sunday afternoon more from us at the top of the ah.
