a question. what would be the point of russia as i can, anyone you remember history near despite, as we have seen, there are problems with understanding history in the west. but we remind that during off its history, russia has never attacked any white russia, which has survived so many wars. he's the last country in europe that would want to even say the world war in texas stories i comes as international monitors from the, our ca, recorded, and increase use of heavy weaponry in the area with reports emerging of casualties on both sides of the conflict. 2 civilians were reportedly killed in the south, became a le ganske republic file tannery fire on sunday morning for local malicious as it was kept. forces that conducted the attack ortiz moran cast. the report next on how local residents a coping with the escalation. what dorm bass sees on the precipice of disaster, you can feel it. here, here is palpable. the closer to the edge, you get, the more obvious it is 78 years ago, this was the site

a vicious battle between separatists rebels and ukrainian troops. the trenches now reserved trenches still rod through here few meters away is so mine field which is marked by those yellow strips hanging on trees 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 any day now and offensive could come from their ukraine, has denied this their general say that they want to return the rebel province as the key of control diplomatically. but then yet can le ganske see otherwise. for months, rebel have warned of a huge ukrainian military build up $100000.00 troops. they say now stan poised to invade. what was when the seal press evening? enemy armed forces are incumbent deployment and ready for military takeover of the

dumbass prison. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski will shortly all the troops to stop the invasion, bidding you enough to believe the call to arms has gone out. volunteers and reservists are flocking to recruitment said this, ready to defend their homes. civilian evacuation is also in full swing. many a choosing to stay including galena, all 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 yesterday to 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 i am ready. oh,

there are many like her. you notice 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. they still do it. what do you think about this 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 co, 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. and from here, much of the combats ease,

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 wanted 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 destroyed during 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, letting him cuz i know you're, he wasn't because he to party to week ago. tens of thousands have already fled. they live with relative throw in refugee centers. they fear that this war could be

even worse than the last. thanks to the generosity of native states cleanable ardour, begmen he crane wasn't ready for war, was in now it's ready because it's received weapons from here, and we'll use them here. this is, 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 or i'd gasdio r t from go lapka. you crate. yes for them, exploded munitions deberry broken glass. i see off the math for a village and they done yet screeching. we talked to a woman who survived the shelling. she's one of the locals refusing to evacuate and says she's determined to stay was i did not hear the moment i approached 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 hole in the ground. what will later i noticed this shall. if i went out 2 seconds earlier, i would have been, he said, we sit 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 he is fully mobile. 53000 dawn bought residents of cross the border into russia in recent days. those passing through the checkpoints are being offered medical and psychological support. a red cross spokeswoman in moscow told me how the conflicts escalation has affected the civilian population reportedly was so that 2 of the big bumping station into don yet, great gen, been she it and damaged by the hostility, currently which got oh, 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 recession services. and this is really important and we keep repeating now message to all

sides that civilians and civilian infrastructure must be spared. because this is key for the survival of the population. if to speak about the people that arriving on the territory of the russian federation to what we know is the russian red cross . i'll main partner here is already, ah, 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. russian authorities have been setting up shelters to take in the thousands of people fleeing the violence from across the border. donald quoted ex reports from one of the facilities in south western russia. we're here right now in front of a sport school that's been converted into a temporary housing facility for don boss 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 you probably owe 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 are already in the trenches, but what can be done? they have to protect our homeland is then yes, we're from the nancy. the reality is horrible. there. shelling is 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 ins, year it,

you've been 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 you 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 being mainly used by elderly people with high blood pressure. and children with chronic diseases will not observed any symptoms of dangerous diseases, headaches, high blood pressure. so 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. oh good. yeah. you know solution 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 boss is all full. we spend the whole night sleeping in bosses. i'm here with my grand daughter. people are good here. they help us. a lot is gone. my husband's son, daughter, and grandson, state and don boss when they done. now, if it's worth coming here to, 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 rosters. well, in other developments the ukranian president says the country could reconsider. it's no nuclear status. saskia taylor questions. what impact his remarks could have president salenti is 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, who will regard it in the closes, signed in 1900. 94 is null and void when the tearing apart. the budapest miranda means ukraine can go. you cannot 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 has tried that line

. ukraine has no other choice. either. we are part of the lines such as nato into doing our part to make this europe stronger. or we have only one option to arm ourselves and maybe think about nuclear status again. how else can we guarantee our defense? but let's just say philanthropy really does con to re arm. now back in the day, ukraine had the world's 3rd biggest, and you can also know crucial elements all still in place. non talking uranium mining research reactor, the capability to build missiles, 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 ukraine do with it? he yanagishta could, she's just, i hope all use all of my connections and the whole love arise against the russians . we bought them into oblivion. we need to kill them with a nuclear weapons re kemesha ko. it's not a random on

a runt. she was the ukranian prime minister. she wanted 3 times to be president. she is the definition of the political establishment fall forward to today, and i'm for slightly, her idea is entering the mainstream. ah ah ah some say zalinski is not fulfilling the minced 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. on 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 a civil war. yukon dropped an atomic bomb into the mix and just hope that won't be an explosion. and given t of history of signing c spies and shutting 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. lensky is grand pon wasn't to crowd pizza. the budapest memorandum is indeed a form it 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 of man turns out growing numbers. think zalinski panza just that because while he might have been a comedian, even he should have known. a that this was no laughing matter without a mo, well, needs a head by a works light up, the paging sky as the winter olympics droll to a close off more than 2 weeks of competition, uncontrolled, the st. just one of our stories out of this ah ah, ah

ah mm. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult. time time to sit down and talk with

hello again. now to more than 3 weeks of protests against coven, how fools in canada police have now made almost $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 the task as well. journalist alexandra la la says she was injured by police claiming they beat her with a truncheon. deployed pepper spray the bend, her face and eyes, and shot tear gas canisters, her from point blank range. i'll teach peter oliver has been speaking with her bigler. oh, you saw. busy a number of tensions flare between the press and protesters with some journalists, hassle during their reports. and 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 author 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 woodstock that he had saying that hey i'm, i'm just doing my job please said the police shut my lace with a point blank. so really next to my legs. so when he hurt my legs, the tear gas went everywhere on me as well. in my mouth, in my eyes 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, nobody came to me to say a, i'm sorry or are you ok or anything this just keep pushing and kicking people and depart this 3rd took my buddy and the, the 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 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 sada. i was a job. that is 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. this is wellington street, right in the very hearts 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. they says the red zone as it's been designated by the police force. things did get

a little rough though, on friday, into saturday, where 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've 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. i, we are. we all saw this as the protestors were aggressive with the officers. and we needed to use horses at one point. oh my god. oh my goodness. oh my good your dad. what 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 last, 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. nps are continuing at the base over where the prime minister teresa was right to invoke the emergencies act. there'll be 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 that debates and casting their votes without the sound of protesters anywhere near parliament building. as all of those have been 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 the winter olympics in beijing of wrapped up after 2 and a half weeks of sporting highs and some crushing lows, both on and off the ice. it was a 1st major sporting advent internationally to be held since the covey pandemic erupted 2 years ago. next to lexi irish epsky looked back at the 60 days of competition in the chinese capital. during the 5th, when till lympics wraps up in bay jane 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 as a 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 khaki team,

male team was competing for gold, but 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. limbic committee thing 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 sorting, 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 races have to be moved, but on that front row seat he did exceptionally well. i found that some of the game, the 1st skia to win 5 metals in single empty games. but off the pitch as well. of course, the case of camila volley dominated the headlines there. there were times when it

seemed that some of the journalists here forgot about the against themselves. they forgot about metals being one. the only talked about the 15 year old russian, i figure 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 boys in a small stokes, of issues here at the olympics. and that largely affected the mood of a lot of people involved. here. i have to say f, i know, and all i have to say and many, many aspects. it was an excruciating experience here with daily cove. it dealt 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 that these games will be absolutely safe in that respect to did work. there were not many corbett cases inside the bubble, those who are tested positive for immediate ascent into quarantine and spend. some

of the women spent 2 weeks there in the currency and missing the majority of the games. but nevertheless, the initial concerns initial maybe even somewhat of a panic before the olympic start. this will be heavily riddled with on the cross with call it that didn't prove to be the case in that respect. games was 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 come level. eva electra shasky rti reporting from aging in china. and that's monday shaping up so far here at our tea from moscow. i'm calling bry, i'm going to update you again and just have a half an hour. oh i me and i make no,

you know, board number please. we don't have authority. we don't the whole world needs to take action and be ready. people judge crisis. we can do better. we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this i will not go on forever. the challenge is great, but the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together with oh, driven by drinking shapes, bankers, and those with

theirs sinks. we dare to ask in ah, a i'm after it adds in, you're watching, going underground. while the world is arguably fixated on,

the ukraine crisis today is 11 years 2 they say fathers, lamb, the son of murdered libyan leader, mama, gadhafi address, libby and state tv, wanting the demonstrations could lead to civil war. in libya, it appears that these words were to be prophetic. as africans, riches per capita, country descended into instability and humanitarian crises. however, it is libby as history from foreign rule, occupation of poverty to independence show a way to a peaceful future for the country and is britons ro, key joining me now for special edition of this show from here in london to discuss, this is rupert, we lock the former commander of british forces in libya and author of liberating libya, british diplomacy in war in the desert. thank you so much, rupert, for coming on. anyone would think a senior british commander would have written the book just about the 2011, the invasion or your book starts in 631 b c. why is that? why libya has a much deeper history than european in.
