a hole in the ground. what were 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, and we have a cellar in the kitchen, but the seller will not save us. the seller will not save us. that's it. unless he is full, it will well then 53000 on both residence of cross the border into russia in recent days, those passing through the track or into being offered medical and psychological support. a red cross spokeswoman and moscow told us how the conflicts escalation has affected the civilian population. reportedly we saw that 2 of the big bumping station into donnette creed, gent, been here and damaged by the hostilities 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
3:09 am
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, our 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. on other developments this monday, america's cbs news is citing u. s. intelligence claiming that russian military commanders have received orders to proceed with an invasion. that news broke as yet another invasion prediction reported by the mainstream media when unfulfilled bosco's says that such speculations only making the situation worse predicted the date of russian invasion every day is a bad practice. you, we call for reason was, ask yourself a question, shoot, what would be the point of russia? it's, i, can, anyone you remember history near despite, as we have seen,
3:10 am
there are problems with understanding history in the west. but we remind that during all of its history, russia has never attacked anyone see below russia, which has survived so many wars. he's the last country in europe that would want to even say the word war. stories should russian authorities have been setting up shelters to take in the thousands of people fleeing the violence from across the border. donald cole to report 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 boss evacuees in russia's roster of 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
3:11 am
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 it's bad. they're the guys are already in the trenches, but what can be done? they have to protect our homeland. yes, then yes. we're from the enhanced. the reality is 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 strength and nerves left anymore to endure it. people that have been killing us for 8 years. you see, you can forgive them, not now or ever, and they will be punished. the question is only when in god and people will punish
3:12 am
them for everything you stop it. ah, and of course, 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 are 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.
3:13 am
oh yeah. 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 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, stayed in don boss when they done. now, if it's worth coming here, we're afraid that 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 ra stove wildly does, as still trying to find a diplomatic solution with francis president chrome speaking to his russian and us counterparts to broker a meeting between them. the white house is now confirmed that president putin and
3:14 am
biden have tentatively agreed to meet for talks this week or the major security conference of the weekend, the ukrainian president said his country could reconsider its non nuclear status. saskia taylor questions. what impact his remarks could have president salenti is trying out a new tactic adding fuel to the fire your 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 closest signed in 1900. 94 is null and void when the tearing apart the budapest random 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 black mail. you don't send me more troops, more money, more weapons. you don't bring us into nato. you don't sanction moscow, right? now then get ready,
3:15 am
i new king up. it's possible and it wouldn't be the 1st time you've tried that line . ukraine has no other choice either. we part of in the lines such as nato into doing our part to make this europe stronger. or we have only one option to 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 crucial elements all still in place. non 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. 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 them into oblivion. we need to kill them all with nuclear weapons. tenisha
3:16 am
and ko, it's not a ron to mom on a runt. she was the ukranian prime minister. she wanted 3 times to be president. she is the definition of the political establishment fast forward to today. and unfortunately, her idea is entering the mainstream, the, ah, ah, mm mm hm. with some say zalinski is not fulfilling. the midst agreement has a ending, the conflict in the east is because he fears a revolt from the right. not exactly the qu had you want anywhere near
3:17 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 draw 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 shelling its own citizens. anyway. any signature on any treaty that might regulate niche a 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
3:18 am
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, are safe. the principle of mutually assured destruction mad turns out growing numbers. think zalinski pounds a just that because while he might have been a comedian even he should have known. a that this was no laughing matter. here with our t mobile news ahead fi works. light of the bay during sky is the winter and then fixed rules with close of 2 weeks of competition, uncontrolled to see just one of our stories after the break. ah oh, driven by dreamer shapes bankers and those with
3:19 am
dares sinks. we dare to ask for 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 on offensive. very dramatic development. only nationally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk with
3:20 am
more monday's headline news now in optimal than 3 weeks of protests against cobit 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 to alexandra lavoie says she was injured by police, claiming they beat her with the truncheon. deploy pepper spray the burn her face and eyes, and shot a tear gas canister at some point, blank range artes peter oliver has been speaking with her bigler. ha. like we saw a number of tensions flare between the price and protesters with some journalists tassel. during their reporting. we also saw some journalists falling fall of law enforcement as well. i done with war reporter who was hitting the leg with the projectile fired author by the or to a police department. what is that in care? i am journalists are, are just
3:21 am
a processor. 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 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 cert 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,
3:22 am
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 job. that is 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 balance as that. this is wellington street, right in the very halts 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 been designated by the police force. things did get a little rough though, on friday,
3:23 am
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 protesters were aggressive with the officers and we needed to use horses at one point. ah, 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
3:24 am
safety of our officers. oh lou. 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 to 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 debate and casting their votes without the sound of protest as anywhere near parliament building. as all of those have been kept
3:25 am
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 have wrapped up off the 2 and a half weeks of sporting highs and some crushing lows on and off the ice. it was the 1st major international sporting event to be held a scheduled since the coven pandemic erupted 2 years ago. alexia shasky looked back the 60 days of competition in the chinese capital, or the 5th when till 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 as russia's ice, hockey
3:26 am
t mail 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 and left with a gulf already said that he was really happy with the way it seemed performed, especially in the rather difficult circumstances here. both climb magically and off the pitch starting. 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 have to be moved . but on that front r o c t did exceptionally well, like some sort of became the 1st skia to win 5 metals in single olympic games. but off the pitch as well. of course, the case off can you believe dominated the headlines there?
3:27 am
there were 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 small stock stick issues here at the olympics. i'm that largely affected the mood of a lot of people involved. i have to say, f and all and all i have to say in many, many aspects. it was an excruciating experience here with daily cobit tests, 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, it did work. there were not many covet cases inside the bubble. those who were
3:28 am
tested positive or immediate descent into quarantine and spend some of the women spent 2 weeks there in the current in 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 ami kron with covet. 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 because i will keep you updated on any further developments after beijing, especially when it comes to the case of camille on eva. alexia shasky, rti reporting from beijing in china. k. that's how mondays news is shaping up so far. thanks for checking in with us. see this out of the next update from us here in moscow in just have often allen say that ah mm
3:29 am
3:30 am
