12:06 am
say, people are fearful, they're scared for their futures. many of them went through and braved the last war . the last thing they want is to put their children through it again, many learned what war is the hard way and 20142015. they lost friends, loved ones, property, and possessions. my house was distorting the were in 2015 of us and we only just finished restoring it. we only had to glue the wallpaper and now it's starting all over again. no men of military age are permitted to leave. any of these women's husbands and sons already serve and local malicious, and not all of them were able to say good bye. as i knew was your husband able to say good by letting it was? i know you. he wasn't because he departed a week ago. tens of thousands have already fled. they live with relatives all in
12:07 am
refugee centers. they fear that this war could be even worse than the last. thanks to the generosity of native states. cleanable ardour bagley, an he crane wasn't ready for war. in now it's ready because it's received weapons from here and it will use them here. it didn't take long to bought that train. people brought with them the bare essentials. they said their good byes. there were tears, there were hugs and simple gestures. simple gestures, the tell volumes for i guess d a r t from goal of co, you crate. yet, while exploded munition was daybreak broken glass that say aftermath for a village in the dan yeske region. we talked to a woman who survived the shelling she thought of the locals refusing to evacuate, says she is determined to say, what is happening at the moment, i perched the door i heard the window shattering, and then
12:08 am
a blast. i opened the or to find black smoke everywhere, no glass in the windows, everything broken and a hell in the ground will. later i noticed this shall. if i went out 2 seconds earlier, i would have been keith. we sit in the house, hiding in the rooms. we have a cellar in the kitchen, but the seller will not save us. the seller will not save us. that's it will not be as well as the escalation in the dumbass region. worsened mass evacuation to russia was announced with multiple temporary shelters set up to take in the thousands, fleeing the violence, donald cole to report from one of the shelters. we're here right now in front of a sports school that's been converted into a temporary housing facility for don bos, evacuees in russia's ra stove region. we've seen buses come through here throughout the day, some dropping off new visitors while others picking up those ready to begin the next step of their journey to another part of russia. ah,
12:09 am
most people we've seen here have been children and the elderly and they've been setting up shop right here in this gym. this entire complex is able to accommodate, around 600 people. but just to day 400 have come through it's doors. they've all been provided breakfast, lunch, and dinner, free of charge. the staff have assisted them in receiving their stipends of $10000.00 roubles or around $130.00 and to open russian bank accounts with yoko lee. oh you fighting against your own people. you can't do that, you just can't. my husband just called to said's bad. they're the guys are already in the trenches, but what can be done? they have to protect our homeland. then yes, we're from the ask the realities horrible. there shelling it's falling in the center of the city and attacks from those bombers. it's real, it's really like that was set off and ran from the war that's been there for 8 years. there is no strand from there's left anymore to endure it. people that have
12:10 am
been killing us for 8 years. you see econ forgive them, not now or ever and they will be punished. the question is only when in god and people will punish them for everything. stop it. ah. and of course, in the age of colvin, it's very important to look after people's health. there is a clinic on site with medical professionals who are fully equipped to give checkups and take care of anyone who might potentially have an illness. she to lucia, the people here are mostly women, children, and the elderly. and the medical offices be mainly used by elderly people with high blood pressure. and children with chronic diseases will not observe any symptoms of dangerous diseases, headaches, high blood pressure. that's pretty much it, nothing dangerous when you did, there's no doubt this facility is well equipped to take care of those coming its way. but its only one stop in
12:11 am
a long journey for those who are trying to escape the threat of war. people who have left their homes behind with little more than the shirts on their backs. you know, with 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. scores of bosses all full. we spend the whole night sleeping in buses. i'm here with my grand daughter. people are good here. they help us a lot. my husband's son, daughter, and grandson, stayed, and don, boss, they done. now, if it's worth coming here, we're afraid that 2014 may repeat itself to this area is one of many that have been set up to temporarily accommodate evacuees on russian territory near the ukrainian border. many are likely to come through their doors in the foreseeable future. but few are likely to have an idea about what will come next. donald quarter r t rust off. more than $53000.00 them now cross the border into russia and the
12:12 am
evacuation is still underway. those crossing the checkpoints, mostly women, children, and the elderly. all the being offered medical and psychological support. a red cross spokeswoman in moscow told me how the escalation is affecting the civilian population. reportedly was so that 2 of the big bumping station in the donnie has quit gen, been she had and damaged by the have feel at this 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 now 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 under that. we really
12:13 am
hope that people who suffered so much already don't have to suffer more. i didn't feel to the fire, the ukrainian president says kiev could reconsider the countries non nuclear status stuff. taylor questions, what impact his remarks could have? his country might be a tender box and the wild might be calling the de escalation, but presidency and he's trying out a new tactic. adding fuel to the fire you present. i have instructed the foreign ministry to convene a summit of the budapest memorandum signatory countryside. if it fails to take place or refuses to provide security guarantees to ukraine, here will regard it in the closest signed in 900. 94 is null and void when they were tearing apart the budapest random means ukraine can go. you can quite literally, it would become just the 10th country to have the most dangerous weapons on us. now, this could be a bluff, political blackmail. you don't send me more troops,
12:14 am
more money, more weapons. you don't bring us in tomato, you don't facts and moscow, right? now than get ready, i new king up, it's possible and it wouldn't be the 1st time he of tried that line. ukraine has no other choice. either. we are part of an alliance such as nato, into doing our part to make this europe stronger. or we have only one option to ourselves, and maybe think about nuclear status again. how else can we guarantee our defense? but let's just say philanthropy really does plan to re arm. now back in the day ukraine had the world's 3rd biggest. and you can also know, just one of its wor, has exploded, would be around $37.00 times the size of the russian atomic bomb $37.00 times. now ukraine might have given up its warheads, its missiles and its bombers, but crucial elements all still in place. 9 talking uranium mining a research reactor, the capability to build missiles,
12:15 am
croft and delivery vehicles. and of course the expertise. yes, it would be costly. yes, they would be time consuming. but yes, it is possible. the question is, what would you crane do with it? yanagishta. i hope i'll use all of my connections and the whole world will rise against the russians bombed them into oblivion. we need to kill them all with nuclear weapons. being tymoshenko is not a random are on a rant. she was the ukrainian prime minister 2 and a 3 times to be president. she is the definition of the political establishment and that she was back in 2014 fantasizing about massacring ethnic russians fast forward to today. and unfortunately, her ideas are entering the mainstream. ah, [000:00:00;00]
12:16 am
ah fall right and near nazi movements in ukraine have flourished in recent years, aided and abetted by the government itself. they openly march in honor of nazi collaborators have battalions within the ukranian national guard. they get sit down with the president and shape policy so much that some say zalinski is not fulfilling the midst agreement. and so ending the conflict in the east is because he fears a revolt from the right. not exactly the cool heads you want anywhere near
12:17 am
a neutral stock pile. not exactly the tough president you need in charge of it. and a far cry from bush seniors hopes for ukrainian democracy all those years ago. 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 suicidal nationalism based upon ethnic hatred. then does the fact that ukraine is still in the throes of the civil war. you can't then drop an atomic bomb into the mix and just hope that won't be an explosion. and given kids history of finding c, spies and shelling its own citizens anyway, any signature on any treaty that might regulate nuclear warfare really wouldn't be worth the paper. it was written on this one does. zalinski is grand pan, wasn't a crowd pizza. the budapest memorandum is indeed a form it without legal obligations under international law. but i think that now
12:18 am
we need to try everything to avoid war. they say, having nukes keeps us safe, the principle of mutually assured destruction mad turns out growing numbers. think zalinski is panza. just that because while he might have been a comedian, even he should have known. a that this was no laughing matter. a european journalist look river says the ukranian president appears confused about what approach to take his seat bounces from one plan to another. he's very nervous and so he says so many different things on the same day that it's incredible wants to meet the president put and then he says that he doesn't know what russia was. all, isn't it clear yet? and are 30 says that he wants a date for joining nato. and then he speaks of the budapest memorandum of course, which is incredibly dangerous, because the hot hess in the west of ukraine are really dangerous people. i wonder
12:19 am
if the european union understands who day support. it's to me that the real surprise is how little or sheila hunter lane and the deciders in brussels understand about the human geography of ukraine. you know, most populations east of never a doubt, russian speaking forever, and it, the use of languages in ukraine is a real scandal hunter. another headline news then after more than 3 weeks of protests against cove, it measures in canada. police have now made more than $200.00 arrests as they try to break up the persistent rallies and the capital. some officers have taken a particularly heavy handed approach to their task as well. journalist alexa lawana says she was injured by police, claiming they beat her with the truncheon deployed pepper spray the burned her face and eyes, and shot a tear gas canister at her from point blank range. artes peter oliver has been speaking with this is wellington street, right in the very heart of ottawa,
12:20 am
the canadian capital for the last few weeks. this road here been absolutely jam packed with trucks, taking part in the freedom convoy over the last 24 to 48 hours. they have left along with all of the other pro testers. they're not allowed in this area in front of the canadian parliament. this is the red zone as its being designated by the police force. and things did get a little rough though. on friday into saturday were the number of arrests made and some claims. the police went too far when it came to them, guessing protest is out of this area. 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. oh we are,
12:21 am
we all saw this as the protesters were aggressive with the officers and we needed to use horses at one point. oh my god. oh my goodness, love i didn't know what you did with me. as a result, we responded this morning by adding helmets. and baton, to our equipment for the safety of our officers. oh . 7 well the protesters may have left, but the chief of police had a message for some of those that had been here that they, you still may well face prosecution. 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 saw a number of tensions flare between the press and protesters with some journalists
12:22 am
tassel during their reporting. we also, so some journalists falling foul of law enforcement as well. i sat down with one reporter who was hitting the leg with a projectile fired data by the all to a police department. but he doesn't care if i'm journalists are, are just a protest. oh i was, i was wearing my badge and my microphone in my hand. and so i got hit multiple time with the woods thing that he had saying that hey, i just doing my job please. the police shut my lace with a point blank. so really next to my legs are. so when he hurt my legs, the tear gas went everywhere on me as well. in my mouth, in my haze, i, everything was burning, my legs was burning. and i fell like i just falling the ground and some people from me because nobody, no police came to me to say a,
12:23 am
i'm sorry or are you ok or anything. this just keep pushing and kicking people and the, the protest. 3rd took my body and they ran with me inside of a 10 to remove my pants, put some ice on my, my legs, and try to wash my eyes and i my mouth as well. but of course, we'll not let that go without any thing because the attack, not only the freedom of press ok, but a was actually completely. i was not justify. i was there reporting. i was there as a journalist, the sought i was a journalist. the attack me freely without any reason. and i saw other jolene that was completely free, that the people didn't do anything for receiving as much violence as that m. p. 's are continuing at the base over where the prime minister trudeau was right to invoke the emergencies act. there'll be
12:24 am
a vote on that later on monday evening during not they can decide to either change some of the stipulations of the emergencies bill or get rid of the state of emergency entirely. one thing is for certain though they will be finishing not debates, and casting their votes without the sound of protesters anywhere near parliament building. as all of those are being kept well outside, with a fence having being erected around to make sure nobody voicing descent against what's being discussed can get anywhere near peter, all of a r t and also a canada christine ministers of joined protest as in condemning the authorities for the unprecedented invoking of the emergencies act, hosta henry hildebrand told us that prime minister to those forceful crackdown on the protests is not only alarmed canadians but the entire world. 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,
12:25 am
that sees that this is very, very dangerous. the path he's on. well, the way he is forcefully crushing this freedom 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 beginnings, this doesn't, and here, even though he has brutally of tried to and this, this piece for conway that this, 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 the winter olympics in beijing have officially concluded after 2 and a half weeks of intense competition that didn't go without controversy. of course, was also that the 1st major international sporting event to be held a schedule since the cobit pandemic interrupted 2 years ago. sunday nights, closing ceremony, so fireworks like the sky over the main stadium. with
12:26 am
a message of one world, one family. no way. top the metal table with $37.00, including 16 gold. and the russian olympic committee to broke its own record. getting the most metals ever at a winter olympics. alexi ever chef looked back at 16 days of competition in the chinese capital. 25th 20 olympics 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 to golf to one. nevertheless, it's a silver metal still more than many expected from the team here at the olympics. and that's model number 32 for russia. head of the russian limbic committee, this thing is left with
12:27 am
a gulf already said that he was really happy with the weight team performed, especially in the rather difficult circumstances here. both climb magically and off the pitch starting of course, with heavy anti cove 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 rates has had to be moved. but on that front r o c t did exceptionally well. i found that some of became the 1st skia to win 5 metals in single in big games, but off the pitch as well. of course, the case of camila leave a dominated the headlines that are what times when it seemed that some of the journalists here forgot about the games 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
12:28 am
flies home will obviously keep you updated on everything happening there. but clearly it's been one of the most poisonous ma stokes that 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 does 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 lives. but the promise of the chinese authorities from the onset was not these games will be absolutely safe. in that respect to did work, there were not many covert cases inside the bubble. those who are tested positive for immediate descent into quarantine and spend some of the women spent 2 weeks there in the core indian missing the majority of the games. but nevertheless, the initial concerns initial maybe even somewhat of a panic before the olympics, that this will be heavily riddled with army kron with cove. it that didn't prove to
12:29 am
be the case in that respect, the games were absolutely immaculate. so most of the teams and the media personnel will be going home on monday, myself included will be flying together with the russian olympic team. course. i will keep you updated on any further developments after bay ging, especially when it comes to the case of camille oliva alexia shasky, r t reporting from beijing in china. ok, that's the way mondays. news is shaping up so far here on our team from moscow. i'm calling bry, i'm going to have your next update. just have a half an m c, than with with
12:30 am
bring you the very latest every out the day. this is not. he's not snow from everyone here with, [000:00:00;00] with, [000:00:00;00] with hello and welcome to cross stock. we're all things considered on people about what we're witnessing is nothing less than dangerous war, hysteria. western countries, particularly the u. s. and new kate make predictions of an alleged russian invasion
