will ethridge says, you may see a problem with russia, which has survived so many wars. he's the last country in europe that would want to even say the world war. russia says it's western powers who are stoking tensions, are the ukraine of to get another predicted invasion date before about the mainstream media passes. the sta confirms heavy artillery is being used in easton, ukraine in violation of sci fi commitments. the escalation forces are mass evacuation into neighboring russia. we report from inside water. 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.

and another news. canadian authorities threatened to go after anyone connected with the weeks long mass protest, while a journalist describes how she was beaten by police while covering the rallies against covey, backseat mandates, i would, they are reporting i was there. as a journalist, the start i went to germany, the at tech me freely, without any reason with hello. good morning from moscow, just turned 9. am this monday the 21st of february we had into a new week. i'm calling bryan. these are the stories were across for you this out. first, then most goes calling for the west to be reasonable and pursued diplomatic efforts after yet another invasion prediction in the mainstream media went unfulfilled, with strong allegations being leveled against russia by the united states. moscow says such claims only worse than the situation predicted. the date for russian invasion every day is a bad practice. you. we call for reason, was it ask yourself

a question, shoot, what would be the point of russia? it's, i can, anyone you remember history despite, as we have seen, there are problems with understanding history in the west. but we remind that during all of its history, russia has never attacked anyone's russia, which has survived so many wars. he's the last country in europe that would want to even say the world war indexes on it comes as international monitors from the o. s. c, e recorded and increased use of heavy weaponry in the area with reports emerging to of casualties on both sides of the conflict. 2 civilians were reportedly killed in the self proclaimed guns republic by artillery fire on sunday morning. the local militia says it was keith's forces that conducted the attack. altima, i guess the reports on how local residents a coping with the escalation storm, vast seas on the precipice of disaster. you can feel it. fear here is palpable. the closer to the edge you get, the more obvious it is 78 years ago. this was the sight of vicious battles between

separatists rebels and ukrainian troops. the trenches now reserved trenches still run through here. few meters away is a mine field, which is marked by those yellow strips hanging on treason and shrubs. the frontline has moved on a little bit. everything in the distance is now controlled by the ukranian military and self proclaimed republics. the rebels now fear that se any day now and offensive could come from their ukraine, has denied this their general say that they want to return the rebel provinces to keep control diplomatically. but the nets can le, ganske, she otherwise, for months, rebel have warned of a huge ukrainian military build up $100000.00 troops. they say now stand poised to invade. what? when they feel a breath unicorn, enemy armed forces are incumbent deployment and ready for military takeover of the

dumbass. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski will shortly order troops to stop the invasion, bidding you enough. probably the call to arms has gone out. volunteers and reservists are flocking to recruitment centers ready to defend their homes. civilian evacuation is also in full swing, many a choosing to stay, including galena on my relatives have evacuated, but i state to take care of the house. are you afraid? well, i have already been through to worse. galena is 86. she was 9 when world war 2 ended. she still lives where she lived, then then now within sight of ukrainian troops, she constantly hears the wine and blasts of artillery and shells. yesses drew smith and i am now waiting to die. i think that if it all starts up again, i will be killed and that'll be that. but am ready. oh,

there are many like her. you noticed this, especially with elder folk. they just refused to leave. and isn't ignorance, they know well what war is. they're just too old to run. this problem with. what do you think about the situation? it's bad, very bad. i kersey lensky. galena has no one with her. her relatives are far away, but her story and her and she believes, how with this house a short drive away, we met others. those who couldn't bear to stay any longer. we are now to train station in goal of go, which is very close to the front lines in east ukraine. there are hundreds of people, mainly woman with children, the elderly, awaiting evacuation to russia. we're very close again to the, to the front lines. from here. much of the combat is readily heard. as i

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. the house was distorting the we're 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 bye, living at the sky? no, you're, he wasn't because he departed a week ago, the still tens of thousands of already fled. they live with relatives all in

refugee said this. they fear that this war could be even worse than the last bagged to the generosity of native states. cleanable, our dog man, he crane wasn't ready for war, was in now it's ready because it's received weapons from here and it will use them here. this is, it didn't take long to bought. that trail. 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'd gasdio r t from goal of co. you crate. you have a fun, exploded munitions daybreak broken glass. that's the aftermath for a village in the, in the 8th grade. and we talked to a woman who survived the shelling. she's one of the locals refusing to evacuate. and so she's determined to stay with ali, my ph. the moment i perched the door i heard the window shattering and then a blast. i opened the door to find black smoke everywhere, no glass in the windows,

everything broken and a hell in the ground. well, later i noticed this shall. if i went out 2 seconds earlier, i would have been keith. we seen in the house hiding in the rooms. we have a cellar in the kitchen, but the seller will not save us. this seller will not save us. that's it. unless you spoil it. russian authority has been setting up shelters to take in the thousands of people fleeing the violence from across the border. donald call to repose next from one of the facilities in south western russia. 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, 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. but typically, oh you fighting against your own people. you can't do that, you just can't. my husband just called to say the bad. they're the guys already in the trenches, but what can be done? they have to protect our homeland is denise. we're from denounced. the reality is horrible. they're 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 end year it. people that have 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. we have not observed any symptoms of dangerous diseases, headaches, high blood pressure. that's pretty much it, nothing dangerous. when u v. d, there's no doubt this facility is well equipped to take care of those coming its way. but it's only one stop in 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. kayla was in the condition 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 buses all fall. we spend whole nights sleeping in buses. i'm here with my granddaughter. people are good here. they help us a lot. my husband's son, daughter, and grants on state and on bus. they don't know if it's worth coming here. we're afraid the 2014 may repeat itself. 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 dawn bass. residents of cross the border into russia

over the past few days, and others passing through through the checkpoints to being offered medical psychological supports. as i was mentioning that the red cross spoke forward in moscow told me how the conflicts escalation has affected the civilian population. reportedly we saw that 2 of the beak bumping station in the dawn yet squeegee and been hit and damaged by the hostility, currently which got about 1000000 people from the access to water. and that's really worried 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 spared. 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. retentions rising, the ukrainian president says the country could reconsider. it's non nuclear status . saskia tailored next questions. what impact his remarks could have? his country might be a tinderbox, and the wild might be calling a 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 convenience 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 1900. 94 is null and void when they tearing apart the budapest miranda means ukraine can go new killer. 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, more money,

more weapons. you don't bring us in tomato. you don't sanction 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 way, a part of an alliance, such as nato, into doing our part to make this europe stronger. or we have only one option to our myself, and maybe think about nuclear status again. how else can we guarantee our defense? but let's just say phil, and he really does plan to re arm. now back in the day, ukraine had the walls, 3rd biggest, and you can also know just one of its wall had 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, croft and delivery vehicles. and of course, the expertise. yes,

it would be costly. yes, it would be time consuming, but yes, it is possible. the question is, what would you crane do with it? you could use just, i hope all use all of my connections and the whole world will rise against the russians, but them into oblivion. we need to kill them more with nuclear weapons, re kemesha ko. it's not a ron to mom on a runt. she was the ukrainian prime minister. she wanted 3 times to be president. she was the definition of the political establishment and best she was back in 2014 fun to sizing about massacring ethnic russians fast forward to today. and fortunately, her ideas are entering the mainstream. ah ah,

mm. a fall right. a near nazi movements in ukraine have flourished in recent years. 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 qu, had you want anywhere near 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 a suicidal nationalism based upon ethnic hatred. then that's 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 hope that won't be an explosion. and given key of the history of signing si, size and shutting its own citizens. anyway, any signature on any treaty that might regulate a wolf really wouldn't be was the paper. it was written on this one does lance, these grand plan wasn't to crowd pizza. the budapest memorandum is indeed a form without legal obligations under international law. but i think that now we need to try everything to avoid war. they say having nukes keeps us safe. the principle of mutually assured destruction or mad turns out growing numbers. things the landscape plans are just that. because while he might have been a comedian,

even he should have known. a that this was no laughing matter. european journalist luc renee says the ukranian president appears confused about what approach to take as he 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 make a president put. and then he says that he doesn't know what russia was. all, isn't it clear yet? and our 3rd, he 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 heads in the west of ukraine are really dangerous people. i wonder if the european union understands who de suppor it's to me that the real surprise is how little or sheila, on de leon and the deciders in brussels understand about the human geography of ukraine. you know, most populations east of do you happen to doubt,

russian speaking forever. and it, the use of language is in your brain is a real scandal. her other headline news now, and after more than 3 weeks of protests against coven health rules in canada, police have now made almost $200.00 arrests as they try to break up the persistent rallies in the capitol. some officers have taken a particularly heavy handed approach to their task as well. journalist alexa la rob says she was injured by police, claiming they beat her with a truncheon deployed pepper spray the burned her face and eyes, and shot a tear gas canister at her from point blank range. ortiz peter oliver has been speaking with bigler, that we saw a number of tensions flare between the press and protesters with some journalist tassel. during their reporting. we also saw 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 or 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 seeing. hey i'm, i'm just doing my job please said the police shut my lace with a coin 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 found in the ground and some people from me because nobody, no police came to me to say a, i'm sorry, or are you ok or anything. this just keep pushing and kicking people and the dead, the protest. 3rd took my body, andy ran with me inside of a tan 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,

will 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 violence that was completely free, that the people didn't do anything for receiving as much violence as that. this is wellington street, right in the very heart of ottawa, 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 it's being designated by the

police force. things did get a little rough though. on friday in to saturday were the number of arrests made and some claims the police went to fall when it came to them getting protesters 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. 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. oh, i got your dad, would you again? ah, as

a result we responded this morning by adding helmets and baton to our equipment for the safety of our officers. oh, i. 7 on the protesters may left, but the chief of police had a message for some of those that had been here that they 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. m p 's are continuing a debate over whether prime minister trued was right to invoke the emergencies and they'll be a vote or not 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 to base 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 patrol of a r t and also a canada. the winter, the picks in beijing have officially concluded after 2 and a half weeks of intense competition that didn't go without control the sea. it was the 1st major international sporting event to be how bo scheduled, since the coven pandemic interrupted 2 years ago. sunday nights, clothing ceremony, so fireworks like the sky over the main stadium with a message of one world. one family and the russian olympic committee team broke its own reco. it's getting the most metals ever at a winter and and picks. lexi ever chef ski looks back at the 60 days of competition in the chinese capital. 25th, when phil lympics 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 9 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, ross says, ice khaki team male team was competing for gold bought ended up losing till finland to go to one. nevertheless, it's a silver metal still more than many expected from the team here at the olympics. and that's the model number 32 for russia head of the russian and the committee is saying is left with a gulf already said that he was really happy with the way to perform the specially in the rather difficult circumstances here, both climb magically and off the pitch thoughts, of course, with heavy anti coven 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 races had to be moved.

but on that front r o c t did exceptionally well. i found that some of the game, the 1st skia to win 5 metals in single in big games, but off the pitch as well. of course, the case off come 11 leave 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 flies home, we'll 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 at death 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 life. but the promise of the chinese authorities from the onset was that 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 into quarantine and spend some of their women spent 2 weeks there in the quarantine, missing their 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 ami kron with call it that didn't prove to be the case in that respect, the games war 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 beijing, especially when it comes to the case of camila, eva alexia shasky, r t reporting from beijing in china. and that she'll news for now. thanks for checking in with us this monday here on our table. great programs on the way for

you. i'll be back here to update you in just over half an hour. ah, who are all those driven by dreamers shaped banks centers and those with dares sinks. we dare to ask oh, more than 20 years ago since one of the world's deadliest terrorist attacks that took thousands of lives, people started to scream. there was

a wave that came up for us. that was like opening up an oven. we're not all wounds of healed the survivors and respond does have increased rates of cancer and other health issues due to the dust and chemicals they inhaled. coming in to get my blood cleaned out. savvy metals, a lot of lead. mm hm. 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. son. yeah, that the chief recovery is my wife, but i cherish of the minute i have family friends. i thought i was humbled before this really home was you appreciate life with
