going to happen not, not here or not in our country. now we saw the canadian co boy initially started off with truck is discontented, having the currency when crossing the border back to canada from the u. s. but since then it seems to have moved. so express why did discontent with the government as a whole, if your company is to see, excuse of, excuse me, about vaccine mandates and restrictions, or as it taking a wider aspects as well. it was never about the mandate and restrictions, even in the deck or in the trapper declaration, it was about getting our freedoms that are liberties, back, accountability and having our constitution rain to cream. so arg was never so much about the mandate. if our constitution re, re, me, then there is no mandate that's against the conflicts. and the only way they can, you know, implement that and travel the constitution. if they have this emergency order in

place and that needs to be lifted, the emergency is over. now we've also seen the freedom convoy really go global. there have been similar process in israel, new zealand, belgium in the past few days, just to name a few. what do you think has struck a chord with people? are they just federal author 23 years of these restrictions a lot downs? yes, i think there's that the restriction and the like you previously says, peter, i think people are fed up with a lot more than just code that they're fed up with cancel culture. they're fed up with the political, correct police. i think they're just fed up with government overreach in general and cove and just put everyone over the edge. it's just based so many families, you know, businesses have gone out. the divorce rates are up, suicide rates are up. i mean, this has crippled the entire world. not that just the united states. but what's and for our country is that the united states is always of life and hope for the

world. and we need to continue to be that and we can't go deeper. so we're determined here to make sure that our freedom is restored and that our country remains a beacon of light and liberty, not just for distance but for the entire world. well, maureen, thank you very much for taking time to explain was the people's convers morning, still co organize the american movement, the peoples called boy, thank you very much. thank you so much, peter. have a great night. you too. christiana administers, have joined protestors in condemning your authorities for their own presidency, invoking of the emergencies over in canada, pasta henry hildebrand folders about how they position the governments to respect the constitutional rights of the demonstrators. i think the latter hopes to achieve afford the prime minister to realize that there is a large, large amount of people out there, not a small french minority that,

that sees that this is very, very dangerous. the path he's on. well, the way he is forcefully crushing this freedom movement and is very, very alarming to many canadians to most canadians and also to the rest of the world . what we could say, this is the end of the beginning. this doesn't end here. even though he has brutally of tried to and this, this peaceful convoy that this is not, this is not what, what he, i mean he's, he's trying to show his power by this. but this is not where it ends. let's cuts away from those canadian truckers protesters with our back to our top store this our people in don barza celebrating russian recognition of the sovereign say you can see them setting off fireworks and waving russian flags we heard from local done yet. residents who gave us their reaction to this event

ah, no with ordering would you want to know with . 2 a c, as of to us, we are not dealing with no, not on the with oh, similarly, when use the button you're

with now we're going to return now to that meeting of the united nations security council, which is currently taking place in new york. let soon and again to hear what the members have to say. peacekeepers, colleagues, the actions russia has chosen to day. we'll have severe and far reaching consequences. first to human life, an invasion of ukraine unleashes the forces of war, death, and destruction on the people of ukraine. the humanitarian impact will be terrible on civilians fleeing the fighting. we know that

women and children will suffer most 2nd to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a un member state which is protected and guaranteed by the un charter. as the sector general said earlier, russia's decisions or a violation of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of ukraine and inconsistent with the principles of the un charter 3rd to international law. the actions taken to day make mockery of the commitments. russia has made through the beauty pest memorandum and the minsk agreements endorsed by security council

resolution 22 o 2 in seeking to redraw borders by force. rushes actions show blatant contempt for international law. the united kingdom will be announcing new sanctions on russia. in response to its breach of international law and attack on ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity, there will be severe economic consequences to its actions. colleagues, now more than ever, the council must shoulder its responsibilities for peace and security and defend the principles of the international. the un charter,

the council must be united in calling on russia to deescalate, immediately in condemning aggression against a sovereign nation and defending the territorial integrity of ukraine. in calling on russia to respect its obligations under the charter to the peaceful resolution of disputes. russia has brought us to the brink. we urge russia to step back. i think you have over there who i thank the representative of the united kingdom for his statement now because of law to the representative of mexico senior grants. he didn't president flag grateful ability in the briefing by the u. s. g on the current situation and ukraine, you must correspond him. rod garcia brings us the latest on life in the newly

recognised republic of. don't you ask? there is still a lot of tension in his curfew now, the snow without in the streets, but as flat mapleton declares, russia's recognition that russia would recognize the breakaway provinces, regions of the nets. kenlegato, there were fireworks here which, which caused quite a stir. i could say it was the right decision, perhaps, but understandable people were afraid that this was of renewed round of shelling, understandable, given the rumble of artillery shelling, mortar rounds, falling on vignettes can and the outskirts over the past few days, especially which is where the most when the most dramatic escalation occurred at some points that was seconds between blocks that you could hear for coming from different directions we, we saw this ourselves today when we went just the little had

a half hour drive from the nearest west to woods. the front lines to report and to film the consequences and aftermath of the fatal shelling there. ah. recently incident tragic, happened here. just west of daniella city to shelves launched from the ukrainian side made ah impact one there, another crater here and everywhere here you'll see bloodied bits of clothing as a zer ha mine his outfit. he was on his way to a mine shaft where he works. this is one of the 2 shelves that landed here again, we aren't going to spend very long here because there are still incoming shelves and exclusions that we, i mean close proximity. this dramatic escalation that we have seen in the near

sc as i will have said, has occurred across the entirety of the front lines in the trenches that snake their way along them. we know that in lieu ganske today, there was said a parrot assassination, attempt to a car bombing, perhaps targeting elegance, official who was responsible for coordination in the seeds fire compliance office monitoring and compliance office. here in the breakaway republics, his cob you up, he was injured. his driver also today, shell struck in logan's cup north i a power station depriving again thousands of for electrical electricity at his home when it is cold. here it's badly needed here in the near it's a water pumping station was also struck the product, tens of thousands of for access to water further south. we've also seen reports of a vicious battles, but there has been this destroy magic escalation. and what,

what was this happened is people were evacuating people who feared the worst. they believed that this escalation is, it is allowed to continue a could result in a bull that is even worse than the one we saw in 2014, 2015. yes is 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, and ready? cleanable hot dogs, an he crane, wasn't ready for war in now it's ready because it's received weapons from here and we'll use them here in the matter of weeks, the situation. he has escalated to the point that we, we had the you when come out today and cool for an immediate cease fire saying that heavy weapons that have been deployed by both sides. and that shouldn't be within the, within the area of the front lines of the conflict. so to pull them back to remove them and to de escalate. i returned to a to allow that. we've seen here over the past few years. nevertheless,

it remains to be seen how russia's announcement that it is recognizing the self proclaimed republics, their independence. a how that will affect the situation. because the situation is such that a huge number of troops along with heavy weapons and on the ukrainian side, deadly precise new weapons delivered to them by nato. they're all still there. they are poised for military action. it means to be seen where the piece here will return, and whether it will be respected. western leaders have been quick to condemn putin signing of the degree to the degree. sorry to recognise the dumbass republics. british fanboys, johnson has dismissed the move as a violation of international law, while french liter manuel micron called on the european block to impose sanctions on russia. artesia, shadier ed was dusty in london and policy in berlin. have more on that european reaction. well, we're getting a lot of reaction. the latest is

a joint statement from the iraq peon commission and the european council. no surprises there. them saying that this is a blatant violation of international law, and at the same time of territorial integrity and immense agreements. the you and its partners and am, am quoting, will react with unity, firmness and determination in solidarity with ukraine and the united states. the nato secretary general has condemned russia's recognition of look guns and the next we hearing from stoughton burg that this undermines settlement if it's in ukraine and that this will be or could be used as a pretext by moscow for an invasion. now all of this coming as we hearing from the latvian prime minister, that beat recognition is a continuation of the attack on ukraine's independence sovereignty and territorial integrity that began in 2014 by to quote, unlawfully changing borders in europe. while we hearing from the latvians is an

urgent to the international community to stop quote russian aggression and offer assistance to ukraine. not latvia has also announced that it will be delivering javelin anti tank missiles to ukraine to be from tomorrow tuesday. at the same time, we are hearing from the ukrainian foreign ministry, they have said that the european union, andrew crane has reached a preliminary deal to conduct military training in ukraine at the same time that you will send inside the experts to ukraine. the e u. we know earlier approved a, an emergency package to the tune of 1200000000 euros in financial assistance for ukraine. now all of this happening as we hear also from the italian foreign minister saying that this recognition by moscow hinders the resolution of the crisis sort of diplomacy. and also that it contradicts lensky agreement. the

president of estonia has said that he will never accept the this illegal decision that moscow is not serious about diplomacy. here in germany, what's happening is the german foreign ministry has said that the recognition is a gross violation of international law. that is also running any kind of diplomatic efforts. the german foreign ministry has urged for the decision to be reversed while to product. quite frankly, the message from london is that this is now a step closer to war. if not a guaranteed move force, johnson has reacted just as expected, calling putins decision and l. o men, a dark signed. this is plainly in breach of international law. it's a violation of flagrant violation of the sovereign to the integrity of the, of ukraine. ah, it is a repudiation of the,

of the minks process in the mix agreements. and i think it's a very ill omen and a very doc sign, it's really being interpreted as a significant escalation in the crisis. a substantial change in moscow's present position, particularly referring to the minutes agreement bought most notably a pretext, paving the way are for russian troops. to cross the border so bars, johnson is seeing this as an illegal act and undermines ukraine. serenity are now in terms of diplomacy. is there any diplomacy? is that an option on the table? for vars johnson, he simply says it cannot be, the significantly narrows or that window of opportunity. and in fact, the feeling here in london is an attack from the east is pretty much set in stone. now already then, in the last few i minutes, really his already reconfirmed the u. k. commitment to supporting ukraine and has said that the u. k. will not, i'll be thinking what more it can do. so what has the u. k. already done?

it's threatened sanctions against russia, including new powers to talk at an individual entity, even in the common today. artie was brought up at that point, links to the russian state. that's the minute a single russian co op and has what seen the ukraine's territory then reiterating that today saying it's become clear, we need to start applying as much of prussia as possible because he really feels the situation is not going to improve. of course, we also know in terms of troop spirits on the ground, that's already been something that you guys being moving towards sending troops to ukraine, also sending weaponry as well. and he always long said that he would be happy to send even more troops and weapons as and when need be, the reaction from the u. k. always been bad. in fact, there was a forest johnson just a few days ago saying that any escalation would be the biggest war since 1945. today, earlier, the government was reiterating such comments saying that there would be

a retaliation if putin didn't retreat. so from the united kingdom, i suspect there's a lot was to come with earlier we discussed the recent events with former united nations weapons inspector, scott ritter, who believes the west is stoking the embers of war and ukraine. the security guarantee for lugens can don't. yes, we're supposed to be mentally makes meant to agreement on that agreement gone, russia made it clear that it has no validity. there. there's nothing those days are over. russia is going to guarantee their security. russia said that ukraine's membership and nato represents and a, an unacceptable risk. if nato continues to pursue this false promise of nato membership, if you train continues to pursue it continues to feed as fantasy by supplying weapons. i'm afraid we might see a, another phase of this conflict, which all nato has to respond with are sanctions which pressure to care less about

. so i'm, i'm very concerned that the west doesn't have a plan to deal with this diplomatically. there will be no one who benefits from this. and, you know, russian president vladimir putin said this over and over again that he doesn't want to invade. i think the russians no fully, well, what the consequences of a military action. ukraine may be a short term military victory, long term. you know, it won't improve the security policy for russia won't improve russia's economic posture, and it will be destabilizing for the globe. nato in the united states don't seem to recognize us. it's almost as if they want to war, and the irony is willing to sacrifice ukraine on the altar of false, you know, the false promise of nato membership. this is the tragedy. no one will benefit from this, but the people that are going to suffer the most of the people of ukraine and they're being sacrificed by nato. we're a point of principle of the principle of open door policy. there is no open door

policy and they will re read article 10 of the, of the nato charter, where talks about letting nations in only if that nations inclusion in nato will improve the security posture of nato. should that invitation be extended? there's no automatic entree. and there's no one that can articulate a case that ukraine's membership and nato would enhance the security of any what all it does is guarantee war. so i don't think russia wants this war. i don't think ukraine doesn't want this war. but, you know, who does nato, because a war over ukraine would give nato in its belief system, a reason to exist. and nato is desperately searching for a reason to exist after the debacle of afghanistan. so i think the responsibility for all of this falls on the shoulders of those diplomats in brussels who are unable to come up with a solution to a problem that russia has been articulating for some time. now we also

told to l rasmussen who's the executive director of the erasure center. he says that the initial us goal was to get close that there was borders while paying no attention to the safety of the people living there. i knew there was not going to be any invasion. i pretty confident that unless something really tragic, happened to drop in and obviously there's been the west has been trying to look for food and into invading and, and, and that's not going to happen. but they are looking for something and i agree with them. they're looking for some reason to put things in that it surprised me to some degree. but at another way, if i didn't, i mean let's face. ready it, i, me, those regions are not ever vote for, for mr. lensky or anyone that's put in place there from the u. s. with there are

not of approval to, to be president. so the, essentially that's the whole. busy mass of millions of electoral votes of election both that would not side with yeah, i think, well, obviously valerie will probably be involved, but that cited and recognize them and then some other countries that, that will as well. china potentially will see are china least not going to be completely against that or at all the u. s. will probably be negative for overall objectives. i've always been to basically move nato closer to the russian and pain rust even more so you know, they really don't care about the people and they really don't care about the ukrainian people. neither the straightforward that it's all about politics and this is, this is just to be another, another mechanism to create hardship in the region and the worst relations get with, with russia. it actually creates

a work environment for economic development for europe, a better economic development for europe would be peace within the area, a strong business relationship with russia and also with those regions. people settlement and ukraine would promote and improved economic opportunity for all of your and, and i do not believe that the us really has that interest and at heart that will create a competitive economic walk and maybe not what we got. reaction from 2020 libertarian us, vice presidential candidates by cohen who believes us involvement and the crises can only exacerbate the situation. that i think that vladimir putin is the head of state of one of the least militarily, one of the largest powers on, on the planet. and of a, one of the, one of the larger economies, former member of the ga and, and i'm, i'm sure this does weigh heavily. i'm not sure that anything that could potentially lead to a hot military conflict,

especially when we're already seeing shelling and things like that. wouldn't weigh heavily on him. i'm sure, honestly, i'm sure this is weighing heavily on everyone on all sides that are having to make these kinds of decisions. which is, i'm hoping that, that weighing heavily in, that desire to try to avoid conflict will lead to you know, the, the tensions receiving from this and from just respecting the rights and autonomy of people to make choices for themselves and their own local governance. whether that will happen or not, totally remains to be seen. europe actually has a history of this, right. there's a history of, you know, things that happen as a result of thousands or hundreds of years of history that often lead to long simmering tensions boiling to the surface. and as an american, again giving an american perspective on this. this is a perfect example of why i don't want our government even remotely involved in this, because this is something that isn't going to end with this. however,

this ends up ending and hopefully it ends peacefully and hopefully it ends with people respecting each other's rights and their sovereignty. but however, this and it isn't going to end with this and having the involvement of a superpower that's clear on the other side of the planet, i don't see how that does anything but, but in flame tensions even further. i suspect that what's going to happen next if he, if he does move forward with, with recognizing the or it sounds like he already has move forward with recognizing these to break away nations or, or break away people for those who don't think a new nation has been form, i think that there is already, there were definitely going to be sanctions coming from europe and apparently from the u. s. and, and probably canada and other countries as well. i hope that this can remain in this realm in the realm of, you know, of saber rattling and political posturing. and i'm not a fan of things i think thinks and separate people with the the 1st thing you want to do if you want to create a war is remove any of the relational or financial incentives that people would

have to not have that war, which is why they always start with sanction, but i hope it's there have to be things and or, or anything like that. it ends with that. and that this doesn't turn into a hot war because not only just the, the lives that are loss anytime that there's any kind of military conflict. but the fact that this is the conflict between multiple nuclear powers. and although i don't think anyone wants to go there, there's always that real risk that if some one or another side feels at that there's an existential threat here, that it could go far past the hot war into a much hotter war. and i hope we can avoid that. that's the route for now. my name is peter scotts and i'll be back again in just a few short minutes to continue with our rolling coverage of russia's recognition of the sovereignty of those dom bus republics. i'll see you very shortly. ah,

it's been years since the soviet union got leather chill on to work upon. so show me your for trust someone paula ukraine was one of the independent states that emerged from the ruins of the superpower. awesome, what would you also get on the greens? come a little, michelle, because she was from a fayette, unless she was wondering if it was a couple of hours that should give up on your watch at the past 3. okay. it's been likely ukraine. eye witnesses went cool, the events, there should be more or less, so do to shoot wilson a deficiency of chipotle. you what i knew the more to know that ownership, i'm not sure, but i've been a bunch for 2 months with motor windows and what other forces were at play. you have to do so to whom you show in shin mushy in those them, you put in the kid. oh,

what it americans to when is it the shows up in was it was of ocean's old. nice. take a look at ukraine 30 years out. the gaining independence door gift for you to promise from us again, unless you me and yet i get it live, but a will it made to provision ok of lush williston holding still problem. ah ah

ah, president periods in makes the choice to immediately recognize the sovereignty of ukraine's don't boss of publics. also signing treaties of friendship, corporation and mutual assistance. president of the russian federation, vladimir putin, is signing the executive decree on recognition. all that don, it's people's republic president of the russian federation is true. latimer poet signing the executive decree on recognition. the le ganske people's republic whose no shelling bought fireworks in the dom.
