11:13 pm
just over my shoulder, i 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 protesters it'd be occupying the city have now being moved along or of left of their own volition over my left shoulder. maybe see the flushing lights of a police cruiser that 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 emergency act has been implemented. they moved out the people over the last few days and things that have been so the last full full, the canadians can certainly trend pretty ugly certain times. i was like, oh my goodness. good, good,
11:14 pm
good, good. you the, the, you know, the. 7 we made some very important progress in safely removing this unlawful protest from our streets. we backed up those warnings with a deliberate and methodical operation using lawful and safe tactics. 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 authority 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.
11:15 pm
mandate does not know people who are scared. we need to change to mind. we need to hold people accountable. doctors for clinical, 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 monday that was required for travel across the border between canada and the united states. and then snowball. being in over, coven 19 mondays, and restrictions and measures in general. others to the, to the time visceral anger towards prime minister,
11:16 pm
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, true though from sections of canadian society, including an open letter from christian ministers, there is no, no emergency and to invoke one to crush peaceful political descent is a totalitarian act of repression. 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 baltimore, the blockade and occupations are illegal. there are
11:17 pm
a threat to our economy and relationship with trading partners. there are threat to supply chains and the availability of essential goods, like food and medicine, or a threat to public safety. but there is a lot of political capital to be made here as well. and it's the true, those opponents have not missed an opportunity stick the knife in. let's remind 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 canadian sally. time when we should be working together, when we shouldn't be supporting one another, his lack of leadership has divided, stigmatized and traumatized canadians races,
11:18 pm
misogynist fringe. who quote, take up space. he said, shouldn't be tolerated. it's 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 amendments to the current situation or, and the state of emergency entirely. certainly though this issue isn't going to go away anytime soon. even if the protesters have left the streets or off to a piece or all of a fee in the canadian capital in video posted online shows many of the protestors kneeling in prayer, in an apparent show of peace and unity. it's just one of the many attempts to bring government attention to covert mandates that many believe have stripped people of fundamental freedoms. of christian pastors also have joined protesters and
11:19 pm
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 true, 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 sees that this is very, very dangerous the path. he's all the way he is forcefully crushing this, trina movement is very, very alarming to many canadians to most canadians and alter to the rest of the world. while we could say this is the end of the beginning, this doesn't, and here, even though he has brutally of tried to and this, this piece for conway that this,
11:20 pm
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 i'm going to step out a little bit early and don't worry calling bray my colleague. i'll be here at the top of the hour. that's 8 o'clock moscow time with a full and fresh look at your news. but before i step out, it's time to wrap up and head out to the coldest, inhabited place on earth. in his 4th and final report, this week, constantine arose. cough learns the ways of reindeer herders and rushes far east and goes for an icy dip in minus 50 degrees celsius, but not before experiencing even colder climes take a look. well this is one of the main attraction for visitors for tours here has della or valerie monument that marks the lowest temperature that has ever been recorded in this playful mine is 71.2 resale. yes, there is an ongoing debate over which village is actually the coldest place north,
11:21 pm
whether it's or mac or where we're now or tom toward where we came from. but the truth is it doesn't matter because the whole area, the whole region, which is also called, i'm not going by the way, has something special about geography that makes it so frigid ah, really need to now and to fully understand american lives in a valley surrounded by mountains and says there is no ocean nearby to moderate the extreme temperatures. the coldest, concentrated here, like in no other place that will cover. it doesn't matter how much you measure this, but the coldest point is always in the wrong. so in the hollows, valleys, and this is where the most intense code is accumulated for some reason you're talking about cold as if it's him substance like a matter that can move around, it accumulates yes. here it can be 4050 degrees or a certain point. it will be minus $65.00, the head of a local weather station shows us around what is probably one of the most severe
11:22 pm
places to observe climate. why does the temperature now? we're minus $46.00 degrees. well, it could have been worse. if you stay, you'll see it's going to be minus $50.00 to $52.00 degrees celsius, that's minus 60 degrees fahrenheit. he says that it's more accurate to call or, and they're calling the coldest, permanently inhabited place on earth. it may get even colder at the south all but no one lives there except for scientists that come and go in oil macklin. people have adapted to live in the extreme environment all year around. like alexander, our tenure of who didn't even notice the white specks of frost on his face. as we were recording our interview out in the freezing cold. your face has turned white is everything fine. it's fine, it'll go away and turn red, just rubbish and that's it. i guess you have to be born here to treat frostbite as if it's nothing from a young age. children here are taught that even if it's freezing outside doesn't
11:23 pm
mean you don't go to school. here, kid, stay home only if the temperature drops below minus $52.00 degrees celsius for $61.00 fahrenheit, which are our old children are present now or is someone at home? meteorologists reported that it's minus 50 celsius. so all the kids are studying minus 50 lovely winter day. everyone goes to school. yes, this is usual weather and temperatures for us. like children all over the world, these kids like to play video games, and that's what most of them were doing during a school break. when we arrived, aramis just, are you playing online with someone? yes, he should play ting. what do you have? why fi, here? we have 14, yet the schools administration also pays a lot of attention to the kids. physical development we found familiar faces in the gym. alexander had been a sub and his guest house also works as a coach at the school. today his students are practicing local. you could sports
11:24 pm
these are the games that locals have been playing here for centuries. now they're also part of the schools, physical education program. much upon how boys come from rural areas and they're strong. they work on farms help their parents and money for themselves in the summer by gathering hay and shopping firewood. they will survive in extreme situations because they are hardened. they know how to light a fire, how to survive. god, by when you grow autumn with whom do you want to be? yeah. yeah, i want to join the special forces. special force. yes. but we want to fight. yes. even after work, alexander, who is 53 years old, is eager to show that he is into fitness and staying in shape. no, he doesn't have a 6 back and he doesn't work out using sophisticated fitness equipment. but his physical abilities can catch many by surprise. for one he went, i swimming in a river on a day when the temperature outside was as low as minus 49 degrees celsius worth 56
11:25 pm
fahrenheit. if he was good, powerful, they told me i couldn't do this than i thought i'm in one of the coldest places on his planet hand. i pass off on this opportunity and it may never come along again. so with that being said, i'm going with alexander dove. into the water and did 3 complete pushups as if it was no big deal . i, on the other hand, was in the water for less than a 2nd without even getting my head wet. and then sprinted back to the car as fast as i go with. no words can be put to that. and so come up
11:26 pm
on top of the world all that might seem over the town. but here's the thing about doing that on those who live here. and those who come here old tend to push themselves to the limit in one way or another. the reindeer herders to learn to survive in the phrasing called without the help of modern technology, really reindeers is what these people have been doing for centuries. if not thousands of years. and these animals still remain their main source of food and medicine. they still use our reindeers high to make huts, and for the most part, these herders lived just like their ancestors did. they sleep on rained her eyes and they melt eyes for drinking water. and if they need food, they take a knife poacher and animal and cook it on fire. this is a hide from a recent and killed reindeer. i can see bloodstains on the edge of sa,
11:27 pm
herders are gave this hide to the dock so that they can have a warm place to sleep. these people can survive without civilization, but that doesn't mean they reject it. they use diesel generators for electricity. they also recently set up a why fi router in their hut to catch up on the latest news. there are some small things that these herders don't quite understand about the modern world. what could you suppose to tell me as a man of civilization? but why did they say this can be thrown out in the forest? but i don't quite get in touch with my back when you mind when or stand there are harmful elements on them and therefore they need to be disposed properly. it was okay, i understand. oh, american is definitely among the world's most difficult places to live. it's cold, it's remote, and you have to put an extra effort to get something other people might take for granted. and yet, there are many men and women who have adapted to this harsh environments. so well
11:28 pm
they can imagine living anywhere else. what might be a tourist attraction for someone from the outside? is these people's everyday life? and even if locals don't toss hot water in the air and don't use frozen fruit for hammers, that doesn't mean they don't enjoy living in the coldest place on earth. they just eat pleasure in something. the rest of us can't. i'm going that the foam, your coin is the coldest, inhabited place in the world. we live here. we have toilets outside. everything is outside to spite this cold sugar we've got used to. it looked at her. you see some live intense, some live in brick house that he did some live in a cave for all stronger together. this is russian to see how many of us live here, the commercial who we love when mccullen. this is our home lamps. we would never change for anything, not for moscow, england or europe. this is russia is the best place in the world.
