a general mobilization of their armed forces. text messages have been sent to all men ages between 18 and 55 to show up at meaning points to join the army marches. but i got here this morning with another violent night here in the next. we heard the last we had shelling was at 6 30 in the morning were about a dozen or so rounds impact. you could tell by that the unique sound that they make but her to the west of the city, which is said 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 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 alice, that you can,

that you can wait for the good to hear an explosion just just to 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 people are fearful of another escalation of rounds falling into the city so far the, the violence has been centered on the outskirts of vignettes. there's also the mobilization ongoing, whereby all men of service age, 18 to $55.00 were being urged to join the defenders. they feared here that an invasion and offensive by the ukrainian military is imminent. in fact, just a few minutes ago, i and 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, i'm

a volunteer. i decided to come head because in any case it would be necessary if the enemy, as he sank of his own outdoor. oh yeah, we must fight back, nodded and no one baton comparing himself as soon as i came voluntarily to protect our home. i have no other fox and emotions. this has been happening here since 2014 a food i'm tired to be honest, worried from mobile u, as in she's, she's puzzled against. i've lived in the nets all my life. i'm a lawyer by education your duties. i called told me to come to the military and listen office, you know, have combat experience. you know, it's 820141516171 the thing is i'm trying to be ready for anything you sco parties . i don't see any reason to worry. i hope this time the conflict will be result in our favor. ukrainian officials have said multiple times now that they don't plan and offensive operation here in the near school, gods just to the north of then yet nevertheless, wall preparations here are underway. local authority said that the concentration of

ukrainian troops, as well as heavy armor weapons artillery on the front lines along the front lines, is unprecedented. they haven't seen the light. they say more than a $100000.00 ukrainian troops aligned up on the board. then we have seen the same image replay over the past few days, time and time again, and that is tearful, good buzz wives and daughters saying that, but their husbands who have gotten to unleash the join the ranks of the defendants . we've also seen, corresponded from our arabic system channel and come under by 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 week or so. we also heard from foreign journalists and we'll see, and then a p saying that they will shell on the other side of the conflict live on the ukranian side. so suddenly he's 5 violations of being registered. both is breakaway

republics. and on the ukrainian side of the conflict, lot the, the theories of courts, he and now that there could be an escalation right away escalation that would be very difficult to stop given the concentration of forces. now in the region is folk person for the red cross. his delegation in moscow told us how the escalation in eastern ukraine is affecting the civilian population. reportedly we saw that 2 of the beak bumping station in the door. that's crazy and been she had and damaged by the hostility, 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 territory 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 who have really hope that people who suffer so much already don't have to suffer more. it has now been 2 days since the rescue operation began to break away dumbass republics with more than 53000 evacuated. having crossed the border into russia, crowds have gathered at the railway station in the town of carlos, in the self proclaimed, done yet republic. the 1st train have began heading towards russia. it is one of the areas suffering, the worst showing with officials warning. there have been attacks on sunday as well . many men are sending away their families as happened in previous spikes in the construct. yes i'm you know, to regulating my grandchildren. i have a big family yesterday since we're a few grandchildren today, other grandchildren because it's very scary. 2014 was very dangerous. they were

injury and among our family been worried for our children. i'm staying because i can't leave the city. i'm working in a facility that provide for the city. and i can't leave people in the out a whole gary, but what can be done? because it's scary, but everyone's walking around are scary. going to work on the shelf are back in 2014. and i think we were living on the shelling and dropping to around whistling sound and now is with one again and again. multiple temporary shelters have been set up in regions across russia to take in thousands fleeing. ukraine's violence are teased on quarter reports from one of the shelters. this is, this is doc 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. you're in good and i wouldn't have less. it's just that i had a stroke. i always stayed her. now i left everything. everyone behind the

kitchen dog go my go. everything's like it were being fed well as a tv. like at home. the coolest saying this heavy shelling. why are they shelling? i'm not afraid, but you couldn't leave me alone. i can barely walk on my wife's ged. she came under heavy shelling when you, you know, i wouldn't have left. i stayed there in 2016. not leaving. sure. yeah. when you were here. yeah. i wouldn't have left. i'm not afraid of anything. it's all the same as me. i'm used to it. i was a soldier in the past. i'm used to it, but ha ha, she's shaking. that's really tough. when were 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. i've 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 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 $40000.00 don boss evacuees 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 just one of the many places housing, those who have fled at the escalating conflict in is a gymnasium and talk on rogue in russia's south west. here is what people there had to tell us. it was for the conditions here, a good we had breakfast, lunch, we've been provided with beds. everything is on a good level. the only thing is that there are too many people here score the buses . also, we spend whole nights with an in bosses and i'm here with my granddaughter and people are good here. they help us a lot because my husband and daughter and grants on state and on boston, or they don't know if it's worth coming here to. we're afraid the 2014 may repeat itself to ukrainian president vladimir zalinski says kiev could reconsider the

country's non nuclear status. you made the comments during a speech at this weekend munich, security conference. yeah, yeah. but then i have instructed the foreign ministry to convene a summit of the budapest memorandum free country. if it fails to take place. or thesis i provide security guarantees to ukraine will regard it and the close is signed in 1900. 94 is no 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 ukraine goes quite literally. and the backdrop to this is that as the soviet 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 had to intercontinental ballistic missiles were handed over to russia. the successor, of course, to the u. s. a saw 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 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 senior was likely came back to haunt him because in 2014 off to the crime in referendum, eula tymoshenko left him a ukrainian wine minister, had one of her fools leaked. and what did we have from the country's political establishment? pledged to continue the nonproliferation and tolerance. no unforeseen, what he had put on phones. i'm telling you, i hope i'll use all of my connections and the whole world will rise against the russians. let them move into oblivion. we need to kill them 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 landscape 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 globe elite 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 rush is 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 jeans, and stephen rescind such an incendiary statement. but then maybe it's not surprising. unfortunately, i've seen it every single time how nato and its allies are 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 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 ukraine, what had the world thought, biggest new kid austin old. just one of its warheads is exploded, was about $37.00 times the size of the hair washed atomic bomb $37.00 times. as per 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 across. 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 level. so we bought here in russia where 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 displays a disregard for peace, ensuring measures dance. he was, should fill the global community with horror, especially if, as it claims its on the side of diplomacy and de escalation. our guests told us about the possible implications of president sullens case statement. 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 30 says that he wants a date for joining nato. and then he speaks of the blue depressed memorandum of course, which. ringback is incredibly dentures, because the whole hats 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 or chill out on the land and siders in brussels understand about the human geography. you know, most populations east, a russian speaking forever and the use of language is in your grain 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 right to you government, which sacrifice the chance to be a nuclear power and believe, you know,

those are in this even. so that's really what he's trying to do. he's trying to put that on the mac level to effectively claim more i was going forward as a result of the sacrifice that we made in the past. i think that's what he's planning on. that's what he's positioning with this statement until the come in the program. almost $200.00 people are arrested after police clear protesters from the streets of canada's capital with authorities promising more attention to come. the story much more at a short break. stay with us. this is our t internet. ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race group is on often very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful,

very political time. time to sit down and talk to rob is driven by a dreamer shaped bank. concur sent those with who dares sinks. we dare to ask in a ah,

welcome back. this is our to international. now in canada, with almost $200.00 people already arrested after officials swept auto us streets of freedom convoy protesters. police are now warning that they will also use video evidence to go after anyone connected to the protests. the interim, our chief of police confirmed that there would 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. we will, over the next several days, identify what the posture of the police services will look like to see how we maintain a presence and make sure that nobody returns to occupy our streets. again. the auto mare is now encouraging the government to sell vehicles and truck fees from protesters, emergency powers allow authorities to do so. jim watson prays for those use of the emergency act and said the money raised would recoup taxpayer losses. meanwhile,

the center of the city remain at fence till after police cleared the area of protest against no job. no job call the mandates are correspondent here all over is at the scene just over my shoulder. you can see the remnants of the comments that were here in the center of the kid eating capital off to all. almost all of those protest is be occupying. the city has now being moved along or of left of their own volition over my left shoulder. maybe see the flushing lights of a police cruiser there. that's where they've blocked everything off the red zone. they're calling it now they've put up a fence around the parliament building to allow m. p. 's to go about that business on a harassed they say is the emergencies act has been implemented. they moved out the people over the last few days and seen that have been so of the last full full

. but canadians can certainly trend pretty ugly times. i can oh my goodness, good, good, good, good. you did the me, the. 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. i realize that people who are scared, we need to change the mind. we need to hold people accountable doctors for this room kitchen, for selling our freedom to measure their gender. i've been here 20 days and they're being very heavy here today. they're pushing back. this is a dream. this is not candidate guys. this is a dictator ship, you know, is running our country. get here, don't be afraid to stand with these people. the protest movement started out with anger from ciocca groups over a vaccine mandate that was required for travel across the border between canada and the united states. and then snowballs. being in upsets over covert 19 mandates and

restrictions and measures in general added to the, to the times. visceral anger toward prime minister. just in true though that we've seen born out here on the streets of the canadian capital. we've seen an awful lot of criticism of mr trudeau from sections of canadian society, including an open from christian ministers, there is no national emergency and to invoke one to crush peaceful. political descent is a totalitarian act of oppression 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 nation. the prime minister himself is sticking to his guns, though he said that this wasn't a legal protest that it was an illegal blockade of the city. and that is why he issued the emergencies that he put but into place, which among other things,

gave police the extra powers they need to block off areas like not over my left shoulder on to remove those protesters from the streets of also the blockade and occupations are illegal. there are a threat to our economy in relationship with trading partners. there are 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. mr. true? those opponents not list an opportunity. stick the knife in. let's remind the prime minister. this is canada. this is not a dictator. celine on embers, things are d 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. canadian races. massage analysts fringe. who quote, take up space. he said, shouldn't be tolerated. it is really about the prime minister, taking a sledge hammer 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 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 over to a piece or all of a coffee and the canadian capital in video posted online shows protesters kneeling and prayer in an apparent show of peace and unity. it's just one of the many

attempts to bring government attention to covered, mandates that many believe have stripped people have fundamental freedoms. i've mentioned before. christian pastors have also joined protesters in condemning authorities for their unprecedented invoking of the emergency powers act. they have signed an open letter to the government, stating such, quote, tyrannical actions should not be used on peaceful citizens. pastor henry hildebrand told us that to those forceful crushing of the protest has not only alarmed canadians, but the entire world as well. i think the latter hopes to achieve afford the prime minister to realize that there is a large, large amount of people out there, not a small french minority that, that sees that this is very, very dangerous. the path he's on. well, the way he is forcefully crushing this freedom movement and is very,

very alarming to many canadians to most canadians and also to the rest of the world . what we could say, this is the end of the beginning. this doesn't end here. even though he has brutally of tried to and this, this peaceful convoy that this is not, this is not what, what he, i mean he's, he's trying to show his power by this. but this is not where it ends. but those are for me and just under 32 minutes, i'll be back with another phone. fresh lecture news there with us. this is our to international ah l look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. and the point obviously is to

rate truck rather than fear a very job with artificial intelligence. real, somebody with a robot must protect his own existence with join me every thursday on the alex simon, sure. i'll be speaking to guess of the world politics sport business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. oh, more than 20 years have passed since 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,

but not all wounds of heel. the survivors and responders 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 up by the metals, the payment model of a lot of blood in my blood. in terms of 1st responder was well over a 100001st responders and there was some estimates that tend to 20 percent still have to yes. some of the cheese for recovery. i believe, cherish of the minute i have with the only friends. i thought i was humbled before this really home was you appreciate wife a ah i.
