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 yesses to smith and i am now waiting to die. i think that if it all starts up again, i will be killed and deadly that madame 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. there's go do me. 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 the train station in goal of ga, 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 are 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. my 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 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 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 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 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 more, i guess d a r t, from goal of co, you crate, yet, exploded munitions. daybreak broken glass that the aftermath for a village and that done yet greeted we talked to a woman who survived the shelling sheet. one of the locals refusing to evacuate then says she is determined to stay with him. at the moment i perched the door i heard the window shattering, and then a blast. i opened the or to find black smoke everywhere, no glass in the windows, everything broken, and a hole in the ground. what were later i noticed this shall. if i went out 2 seconds earlier, i would have been heat. 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. in the future, 53000 don't bath residence of cross the border into russia in recent days. those

really hold that people who suffered so much already don't have to suffer more. america cbs news is citing us intelligence, claiming that russian military commanders have received orders to proceed with the division that news broke. as yet another invasion prediction reported by the mainstream media when i'm fulfill. the kremlin says that such speculation is only making the situation worse, predicted the date for russian invasion every day is a bad practice. you, we call for reason was, ask yourself a question. 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 any one 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 in texas to russian authorities in setting of shelters to take in the thousands of people fleeing the violence from across the border. bundled coal to reports 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 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, 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, are 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 are 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 strength and nerves left anymore to endure 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 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. 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 buses, all full, was spend the whole night sleeping in buses. i'm here with my grand daughter. people are good here. they help us a lot with my husband, son, daughter,

and grandson, state. and don, boss, 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. it's lining up to be another week of diplomatic solutions being sought by world leaders. with francis president mc chrome, speaking to his russian and u. s. counterparts to try and broker a meeting between them. the white house says president putin biden have tentatively agreed to meet for talks, but the kremlin says there's no plan yet to do. so. how to major security conference of the weekend, the ukrainian president said his country could reconsider its non nuclear status. saskia tyler questions. what impact his remarks could have president lensky is trying out a new tactic,

adding fuel to the fire. you're 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 in tomato, you don't function most go right now than get ready. i new king up. it's possible and it wouldn't be the 1st time he had tried that line. ukraine has no other choice either. we part of 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 philanthropy 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, aircraft, 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, which is just my 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 all with nuclear weapons. kemesha and 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 falls forward to today, and i'm for slightly, her idea is entering the mainstream. ah

ah. mm. with 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, heads 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 suicidal nationalism based upon ethnic hatred. then does the fact that ukraine is still in the throes of a civil war yukon. drop an atomic bomb into the mix into pope. there 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 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, things zalinski panza. just that because while he might have been a comedian,

even he should have known that this was no laughing matter. you're with our team or world news ahead, fireworks light up the beijing sky as the winter olympics draw to a close optimal than 2 weeks of competition. i'm controversy. just one of our stories after the break. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. a

ah, with join me every thursday on the alex sarlin. sure. i'll be speaking to guess of the world politics sport business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. ah ah mondays headline news for you. and after more than 3 weeks of protests against kobe health rules and canada police, there of now made almost $200.00 arrests as they tried to break up the persistent rallies in the capitol. some officers have taken

a particularly heavy handed approach that task as well. journalists to alexandra love wass says she was injured by police, claiming they beat her with the truncheon deployed pepper spray that been her eyes and face, and shot a tear gas canister off point blank rang ortiz peter oliver has been speaking with her regular. got ha! i saw a number of tensions flare between the press and protesters with some journalists, hassle during their reporting. we also saw some journalists falling fall of law enforcement as well. i sat down with one reporter. busy who was hitting the leg with a projectile fired author by the all to a police department. but he doesn't care if i'm journalists are, are just a processor. oh, who 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. the police shut my legs with a point blank,

so really next to my legs. so when the hurt my leg, 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 on the ground and some people from me because nobody, nobody came to be say a, i'm sorry, or are you ok or anything this just keep pushing and kicking people and the dead to 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 will not let that go without any thing because the attack, not only the freedom of press, ah, but to a was actually completely. i was not justify.

i was there reporting, i was there as a journalist, the sada, 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 hall 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 wall over the over pro test, as they are not allowed in this area in front of the canadian parliament. this is the red zone as its being designated by the police force. things did get a little rough though. on friday into 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 backed up those warnings with

a deliberate and methodical operation using lawful and safe tactics. ah, oh we are. we all saw this as the protesters were aggressive with the officers and we needed to use horses at one point. i . 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 . 7 well the protesters may have left, but the chief of police had

a message for some of those that had been here, that 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. and peas are continuing a debate over whether 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 not debates, and casting their votes without the sound of protest as 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 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 as scheduled since the coven pandemic erupted 2 years ago. alexey irish epsky looks back at the 16 days of competition at the chinese capital. during the 5th winter lympics wraps up in bay jane comfortably worn by t 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 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,

this 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 had to be moved, but on that front row seat he did exceptionally well, like some there were 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 off can you believe dominated the headlines there? there. what times when it seemed that some of the journalists here forgot about the against themselves. they forgot about metals being one. they 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 poisonous ma stokes that issues here, the olympics. and that largely affected the mood of a lot of people involved. p. 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 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 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 corporate cases inside the bubble. those who are tested positive or immediate ascent into quarantine and spend some of the women spent 2 weeks there in the currently 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 chrome

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. even alexia, sky, rti, reporting from aging in china. a bit too much heater those winter games next up. of course, iris $24.00. but you news for now. thanks for checking in with our see to update you on what's happening around the world. i'm calling bright, going to have your next update right here. just everhart who's i know when i would show the wrong one, i'll just don't the roll out date because the after an engagement equals the trail,

when so many find themselves will depart. we choose to look for common ground. oh, more than 20 years have passed 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 door. but not all wounds of heel, the survivors respond does have increased rates of cancer and other health issues. due to the dust and chemicals they inhaled. i come here to get my blood cleaned out . the metals obtain a love, love led me in my blood. in terms of 1st responder was well over a 100001st responders and there was some estimates that tend to 20 percent
