7:12 am
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 fee to lucia. the people here are mostly women, children, and the elderly, and the medical office is the mainly used by elderly people with high blood pressure and children with chronic diseases. we have not observed any symptoms of
7:13 am
dangerous diseases, headaches, high blood pressure. that's pretty much it anyway. nothing dangerous when you v, there's no doubt this facility is equipped to take care of those coming its way. but its only one stop in the 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, no clue good. 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 whole nights 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
7:14 am
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. well, global lead is still trying to find a diplomatic solution to the crisis with france as president mack from speaking to his russian u. s. counterparts to broker a meeting between them at the white house does say that president putin and biden have in principle, agreed to meet for talks low. the kremlin says this no firm plan yet to do so. i would a major security conference at the we can, the training president said his country could reconsider it's non nuclear status. saskia taylor questions. what impact his remarks could have president salon he is trying out a new tactic adding fuel to the fire. yeah. your present. i have instructed the foreign ministry to convene a summit of the budapest memorandum signatory countryside. if it fails to take
7:15 am
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 rhonda 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 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 sad biggest and you can alternate crucial elements all
7:16 am
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? 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 out on a ranch. she was the ukrainian prime minister. she and a 3 times to be president. she is the definition of the political establishment fast forward to today, and unfortunately, her ideas are entering the mainstream. ah
7:17 am
ah ah 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 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
7:18 am
a suicidal nationalism based upon ethnic hatred. then does the fact that ukraine is still in the throes of the civil war. you can't 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 see 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 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 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. now,
7:19 am
after more than 3 weeks of protests against covey, health rooms in canada, police have now made almost $200.00 arrests as they continue to break up. the persistent rallies in the capital low faces are being accused of heavy handed tactics. a journalist alexander lavoie claims they beat her with a trunk shoes at the spray. they also shorter to gas canister from point blank range. she gave more details to artes, piece rollover deborah resort. busy 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 who was hitting the leg with a projectile fired author by the or to a police department. what is that in 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
7:20 am
multiple time with the woodstock that he had seeing there. 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 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 fall 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 and they 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,
7:21 am
not only the freedom of press ok, but a was actually completely was not justified. 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. busy 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 protesters. 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 into saturday were the number of arrests made and
7:22 am
some claims the police went to fall when it came to them getting protest is 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. 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, oh my god. oh my goodness, love, i'm good, you good you again. ah, as a result we responded this morning by adding helmets and baton to our equipment for the safety of our officers.
7:23 am
oh, i lost. 7 all 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, mpi are continuing a debate over whether prime minister trudeau 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 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
7:24 am
what's being discussed can get anywhere near peter oliver artie an auto or canada. now pakistan's imran khan is coming to moscow this week is the country's 1st prime minister to visit russia a more than 2 decades. well ahead of the trip party sucks on a boy came met him in islamabad from the exclusive interview, which will show here in full on tuesday. but his a taste of what was said. we were recording this interview on the eve of the upcoming visit by prime minister to moscow. it's expected on february 24th, and it's going to be a relatively short visit. the pakistani team will fly in in the morning and leave in the evening, but it's pretty significant 1st and foremost because of the geopolitical contacts. it just happened so historically that the relationship between moscow is lama, but has always been or has long been conditioned on various regional and global context that pakistan has long been an american partner. and russia has had much
7:25 am
stronger ties with india. but nowadays, it seems that 2 countries have come to the point where they can build a self sustaining bilateral relationship, where they don't have to look on to others, what others have to say about their corporation. and instead, focus on that by leslie issues, as well as on the whole range of regional projects. this is exactly how in brown hand, laid out the historical context for the ties between moscow and his mom about when the cold war was leveraging the whole of the wound, the board was divided into blocks. like a son moved into the united states. we became part of the blogger and the cold war with the us. i think initially august, and needed help because of when we became independent, we were above rushed. the millions of refugees and august that we needed help. but
7:26 am
you know, beyond a 10 years or so, we should have then be non aligned, independent country us student own feet not relied on it. we became part of a block because we got for renewed the world being divided into cold war blocks and bugs fun becoming part of a block. when you look back, it stopped us from developing as a country. if you've been watching the news, you know that this visit comes to the pretty precarious time, ah, in the relationship between russian and the western, specifically russia and ukraine or western media. i felt with reports about the imminent war between the 2 countries. and i asked the prime minister whether he thought it was a good idea to expand pakistan's geopolitical or horizons at this precise moment. but he said that the moment is always right. and pakistan to has had its
7:27 am
share of our territorial disputes with india and his trousers that he believed that those issues need to be treated as humanitarian 1st and foremost, rather than territorial. and he has expressed hope that rig whatever the international context is moscow is lama, but we'll be able to focus on issues that had bilateral issues at hand. i do not believe that military conflict solve problems. i believe that the give they give rise to so many other problems. i'm not a believer in military conflicts. i believe the civilized societies has all the difference through dialogues and, and the countries that rely on military conflict have not started history properly . as you can imagine, abraham hahn is a striking individual. he'll lab his country to its 1st and only victoria in the cricket world cup and making it extremely proud he manage actually, i mean,
7:28 am
one of the reasons why he's so striking as a human being not just as a world leader is because he accomplished pretty much everything he had, he sat his sides too, and i had an opportunity to ask him both about his life philosophy. he is a pretty spiritual man and also about his leadership skills. and he also said that the one of his main legacy he wants, he has main legacy to be a pakistan that is confident of itself. he wants to bring modernity to this country to help and develop but also to preserve its core collective soul. and i think this is one of those issues where here and vladimir putin may have a lot in common because both of them subscribed to this notion of enlightened conservatism, taking what the world passed to offer, but also preserving the authentic identity of your country. so i think even though this visit is going to be fairly short, i'm sure it's, it's going to be
7:29 am
a pretty significant and something tells me that the rapport between the 2 liters is going to be pretty good. and you can see her interview info with him and come tomorrow, hey, are not safe. that brings you up to date. just come up to hop os 3. moscow. but back again. ah, ah, more than 20 years of 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, but not all wounds of healed. the survivors and rous on 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 by the metals they obtain. the model of a lot of lead me cut me in my blood. in terms of 1st responder was well over
7:30 am
a 100001st responders. and there was some estimates that tend to 20 percent still happy with the chief recovery. my wife cherishes the minute i have with the only friends i thought i was humbled before this really home was you appreciate wife new ukrainians did not want to lou. this one family, there were too many internal differences, a western ukrainian president cruz my noted is much closer in terms of his concepts and habits to a chuck or a poll. in some ways even more to an austrian than to a russian or eastern ukrainian. therefore in 2010 in the next election.
