4:13 pm
response to wants the blinkers wanting are prepared with a response. it will have massive consequences for russia. it actually carries the through very small innovation and there is no such class. we are not trying to take any tory of a foreign countries. i would like to confirm that i don't about campbell about it or crate. the ukrainian president volume in the landscape says kiev could reconsider the countries non euclid status. he made the comments during a speech this weekend munich, security conference. yeah, your president, i have instructed the foreign ministry to convene a summit of the buddha patch memorandum of the 3 countries. if it fails to take place, refuses i provide security guarantee. ukraine will regard it and the clause is signed in 1900. 94 is now employed. we all know that the land used to be a comedian, but this really does seem a joke too far. just to be clear. tearing up the budapest memorandum means that
4:14 pm
ukraine goes quite literally. and the backdrop to this is that as the sergent union was collapsing, he of pushed by the u. s. and the u. k. gave up all its new kid austin all. so everything from strategic bombers to wall has 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 and supported ukrainian independence said, you're good to go. just 2 things. one is to 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 karen 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 in referendum union to mishenko
4:15 pm
former ukrainian prime minister, how one of huff leaked. and what did we have from the country's political establishment to a pledge to continue the nonproliferation and tolerance? no one pushing what he had formed and tending yanagishta. could you just my hope all use all of my connections and the whole world will rise against the russians? let them move them into bolivia and we need to kill them with nuclear weapons. and she wasn't one very voice. we had this occurred by ambassadors and the people to in fact, at that time in 2014, almost 50 percent of ukrainian supported new re armament falls forward. a is to the music security conference. and this isn't the landscape chatting on the phone to his friend about his wild fantasy, you know, to massacre ethnic russians as it was with commission co. he is in all seriousness standing before the global meat and thing i am considering renee king on one of the most significant documents of the 20th century. and it's really not far from being
4:16 pm
political blackmail, because essentially that i'm saying, unless you all in front of me do more, send me more weapons, more money, more troops preemptively function moscow for what we're not sure. then i will fire up those new killer factories again and while to put it mildly, especially at the moment the west is not russia's biggest, fine. 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 genes that stephen rescind such as century statement. but then maybe it's not surprising, unfortunate. we've seen it every single time how nato and it's allies of failing to press key of to side 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 eastern ukraine, saying, well, that's actually not entirely the case just so that we understand back in the day
4:17 pm
ukraine, what had the world thought, biggest new kid austin. all just one of its warheads is exploded, was about 37 times the size of the hiroshima 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 already 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 in russia. we're in the us, but it would still be new connect capable to see 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 has passed has shown us by selling its own citizens ready
4:18 pm
displays a disregard for peace, ensuring messes, dance his wife should fill the global community with horror, especially if, as it claims its on the side of diplomacy and de escalation earlier, our guests told us about the possible implications of presidents that lensky statements very nervous. and he says so many different things on the same day that it's incredible, wants to make the president put. and then he says that he doesn't know what russia wants. all, isn't it clear yet? and the 3rd, he says that he wants a date for joining nato. and then he speaks of budapest, memorandum of course, 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 they support. it's to me that the real surprise is how little lane and deciders in
4:19 pm
brussels understand about the human geography of ukraine. you know, most populations east, a russian speaking forever. and the use of language is in your brain is a real scandal. i think he's trying to upgrade a government, a major itself was victim in this story. the care of as the, as the government, which sacrifice the chance to be a nuclear power and believe, you know, those now being turned over in this even. so that's really what he's trying to do. he's trying to put that on the map and therefore to effectively claim more i was going forward as a result of this sacrifice that be made in the past. i think that's what he's planning on. that's what he's positioning with this statement. over in canada with almost 200 people detained. dr. officials sweat, also a streets of freedom convoy protesters. and we took control the capitol police and
4:20 pm
our warning. they will also use video evidence to go off to anyone connected to the protests. the 3 am also a chief of police, confirm that could be prosecutions for months to come. if you are involved in this protest, we will actively look to identify you and follow up with financial sanctions and criminal charges. absolutely. since friday police in riot gear has been sweeping through the capital, arresting 191 demonstrates as unto intro to taking part in the convoy that says, the government attempted to stump out protests against no job. no job, coven mondays. the less central also at a standstill for almost one month, all corresponded, feature oliver is out the scene just over my shoulder can see the remnants, all the comments that were here in the center of the canadian capital. all, almost all of those protest is it'll be occupying the city have now been moved along or of left of their own volition over my left shoulder. maybe see the
4:21 pm
flashing lights of a police. ready ready cruiser there, that's where they've blocked everything off the red zone. they're calling it now there's a fence around the parliament building to allow employees to go about that business on. harassed, they say is the emergency act has been implemented. they moved out the people over the last few days and things that have been so of the most forceful, but canadians could certainly turn pretty ugly certain times. oh my god, oh my goodness, i well good you. oh with oh,
4:22 pm
i. 7 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. and that's why implore all the protestors who remain there, go home. this occupation is now over. we will continue with our mission until it is complete. as the authorities moved people out of this particular part of the canadian capital protest, this spoke to the media and said that they were sure that this protest of the had been was over for now. but that they felt something had changed in canada. mandate does not people who are scared. we need to change to mind. we need to hold people accountable to doctors for aubrey as this room. the whole titian, for selling out our freedom to measure their gender. i've been here 20 days and
4:23 pm
they're being very heavy here today. they're pushing back the, the dream. this is not candidate guys. this is a dictatorship, you know, running our country. get here, don't be afraid to stand with these people. the protest movement started out with anger from that took a group's over a vaccine monday that was required for travel across the border between canada and the united states. it then snowballs being in over covert 19 mondays and restrictions and measures in general, others to the, to the time visceral anger towards prime minister. just in true done that we've seen born here on the streets of the canadian capital. we've seen an awful lot of criticism old mister trudeau from sections of canadian society, including an open letter from christian ministers. there is no national emergency and to invoke one to crush peaceful political descent. is it to tell a terry inactive repression,
4:24 pm
displaying weakness not strength. these tyrannical actions are exposing this government and people to the judgment of god. and we are deeply concerned that you do not appreciate the significance of god's wrath upon a rebellious and wallace. the prime minister himself is sticking to his guns though he said that this wasn't a legal protest that it wasn't. ready a legal located of the city and that is why he. ready issued the emergencies that he put into place, which among other things gave police the extra powers they need to block off areas like that over my left shoulder on to remove those protesters from the street to baltimore. the blockade and occupations are illegal. there are threat to our economy and relationship with trading partners. they're a threat to supply chains and the availability of essential goods, like food and medicine. they're a threat to public safety. but there is a lot of political capital to be made here as well. mister, true, those opponents have not missed an opportunity. stick the knife in her mind,
4:25 pm
the prime minister. this is canada. this is not a dictator. gasoline on embers, things are de escalating as we speak. so why is the prime minister using this hammer on canadian, isn't it true? he's doing it just to save his own political skin. he has politicized his pandemic and divided canadians at a time when we should be working together. when we should be supporting one another . his lack of leadership has divided stigmatized and traumatized canadians. great. this besides this fringe who quote take up space and he said shouldn't be tolerated. it's really about the prime minister, taking a sledgehammer to canadians and he thinks are unacceptable. parliament will continue that is based on the emergencies act with a vote expected on monday evening during not they could choose to make amendment to
4:26 pm
the current situation or, and the state of emergency entirely. certainly though they see a few isn't going to go. busy away anytime soon, even if the protesters have left the streets, both of these are all of a fee and the canadian capital a video posted on line shows protested kneeling, impress in an apparent show of peace and unity. a freedom convoy protests that told me earlier, they are now fighting to protect the most fundamental global rights. they're never gonna stop or never, these people see it. there's the same. it says that there's gotta be a, he'll be willing to die on. well guess what? the majority of people, i don't know, but the majority majority people i spoke to. i believe that this is the hilda dia because we don't do it. not only do we lose our own country, but the world news is their way of life. and that's just, it was so and expect to see the international response to this. and so damn encouraging. so we can stop now. i mean we, we knew that the government didn't,
4:27 pm
aspects of the government didn't want us there. and we knew that we were going to be attacked, we knew that they take any, any chance that they could, we can us either financially, morally or otherwise. they got rubber bullets, they got tear gas, they got the cars and they did a lot of these people did the police, if you'll notice a lot of didn't have names on their, on their things. a lot of them, there's private contractors coming in. there are corrections officers that are getting temporary resting powers. there's all levels of army, there's people coming in from out of the country. so basically, our leader, the prime minister, has decided not to talk with the com, where people instead employ all of his financial resources to bring in the force to just make them do their, his will any kind of work. what's happening is we were the fringed minority, unacceptable views. if you'll remember what the said about a massage races, french doing acceptable views. well now what happens is the middle market, all of the people that were just kind of sitting on the fence, maybe had
4:28 pm
a couple of backseat, maybe out a booster. certain clue into the fact that unless they are on this regiment on an ongoing basis, they're backseat passport or whatever your country's equivalent is is no longer going to be be valid. which that means you are on a needle program for ever. if you want to continue to work or do anything else productive. and that's just something that middle market is starting to come into. and now you're seeing it used to be people were anti max or anti masters and 9 more . this is engineers, dr. every single walk of life who see that this is a real threat. well, that's how the world's looking at $1230.00 a monday, moscow time. my name is peter scott and i'll be back again in 30 minutes with another look at today's biggest stories. and of course, those ongoing sanctions in east and ukraine. thank you for watching. ah, i look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. i
