[000:00:00;00] ah, russian law makers approved the deployments of troops abroad on the president's request for vladimir putin says he has no immediate plans to use that authorization in the newly recognized dom bus republics. this comes after president putin recognized the independence of the done, yet scuttle guns republics, pledging to ensure peace in the region. i am certain we haven't been abandoned and that we have a future. we greeted the knees with tears and we are happy. at least there will now be order. the bombings will stop and people will be able to lead normal lives was told, it's better to put on a professor before stop working. or we are now waiting for the red cross to who are

going to deliver water. and thanks for the people here. all corresponded reports from the don bus as 8 workers delivered much needed supplies. amid reports of si, fi violation from both sides of the border. the u. s. secretary of states cancels a meeting with russian foreign minister said a gay lover of running in useless and accuse as russia of already starting an invasion in ukraine. with coming to you lie for my headquarters here in moscow. you're watching ok. see international. my name is peter scott, on here are the top stories this hour. the opera house rushes parliament has approved the president's request to deploy the armed forces abroad. thus after the lower house ratified treaties of cooperation with a newly recognized done yet lou ganske republics. earlier artillio patrol consorts

. daniel hawkins through those developments, everything that's been said doesn't mean at the moment that the russian troops are marching across the border that the russian army hardware is currently being sent over to the republics of don bass. mr. poo pretty much said, well, for now we'll have to look at the situation. we'll have to see where this goes and if there is a necessity for it, in that case, mr. prudent could actually say, hey, well, now it's time to act. but at least this is something that the russian legal system requires. he's now got the green light from the opera house of the russian parliament to deploy russian troops abroad. again, like i said, if there is the need for that, now, what that means for the locals. what that means for the situation on the ground

perhaps, is that the, the ukrainian army won't be emboldened to further attack these 2 republics that have now been recognized by russia. we've heard from our correspondents on the ground that the night was much more silent. and this is indeed a sigh of relief for the russian speaking population of what used to be east ukraine. what used to be the regions of don, it's and logan's, now something else that was very important that mister putin made clear, was that pretty much as the minsk agreements don't exist any more. but despite what the western leaders are saying, president vladimir putin says that the key of is entirely to blame for it. because if we look at the 1st 2 key elements of the mens agreements, they are giving special status to the donors can lugens credence and also making

changes to the gradient constitution that would give these 2 regions more autonomy and independence from kiev in many decisions. but under petro porsha, ankle, hon dimmers, and n lensky. none of these steps have been made by key of and here's what mr. prudence that exactly about this particular thing. these documents are signed by the hands of the days, republics, and we plan back then we achieved this compromise. and it wasn't an easy thing to do because initially the hands of you make sure that you did in this republics didn't even want to be a part of the main agreement. they didn't want to sign them. but finally, we have breach and compromise with you and me. and it was really making a step towards reaching this fell agreement, resolving the situation by peaceful means. and yesterday,

during the security council meeting, it was sad with the app or itself, the current key authorities. it was all broken down to 0. that's why the main, the grants really it will be the they were destroyed the law long before. and then yesterday's, recognition of the people's republic call don bass, and i'm not biased, not by the representative solution. we can use all this republics, but by the way, you're acting, the key of authority is and yesterday's recognition of this republics was dictated by the fact that public li, the leadership was ukraine. and that was music. he started saying that they had no plan of implementing the agreements cuz they didn't want to. so what else was left to said mister proven?

went on to talk about how important these decisions are in the context of the actual will of the low holes. and he went back to talk about how the referendum in crimea happened when overwhelmingly the population there voted to join russia. we remember that to about to 7 years ago, the peoples of don ed skin lugens, these 2 don bass republics, voted to be separated from ukraine. so mister putin reminded the west of how important it is to listen to these people and called it the highest form of democracy. referring to these referendums suddenly, kiera doesn't want to know should happen from both sides from, from keith. so that we considered through the situation saddled women in long term perspective. useless. so that now got you the situation. calm down and we wouldn't talk about any conflicts, especially aren't conflict. so i don't think it,

sir. secret the truth. there is nothing secret about that. the 1st thing that must be done by every one is to recognise the will of the people who leave and save us topple and crimea. i'm no good as it with you can. i have said that on met which with many times. cool. so how different is this, when you cham, has these referendum wives and costs with this will be expressing this will. how different is it from what happened kosovo? because there was a referendum there, and i would like to reiterate one more time to switch to crime. you did you no one did that, but i thought you had gone point, no one for them to go to the voting stations. they did it voluntarily, and they made that decision to joined roger and we should respect their decision, of course. so the announcements that have been made by the most senior russian officials to day are very important. but like i said,

what will be more important is the final decision by the kremlin to at physically send the troops and the hardware over to don bass. like i said, mister putin has the green light to do that, but the decision is not yet been made when it happens. that will definitely be breaking news, as well as some proper reaction from the likes of joe biden, who still hasn't announced his full reaction to everything that we heard from the kremlin and other senior russian officials to day and the day before russia is evacuating his embassy stuff from care of after numerous threats to their safety. the foreign ministry has accused ukraine of failing to meet his obligations under the vienna convention. those are to protect diplomats on its territory. meanwhile, ukrainian foreign minister is in washington accusing boots in overnights of aggression against ukraine. he called on the west to impose sanctions on russia and

rumpled pressure on its economy. your u. s. officials seems to agree with that request. as we heard joe biden announced new sanctions anson more troops to nato member countries in eastern europe. moreover, state secretary of blink and has cancelled his meeting with his russian counterparts that are gay lover of saying he sees no points in it. after russia recognized the dumbass republics, archie correspondent killed morphine as more we heard from antony blanca, speaking along with the foreign minister of ukraine. from there, they made all kinds of drastic statements about pushing russia off of the global economy. they talked of new sanctions and went into detail about new sanctions that are being imposed on russia in response to russia's recognition of the dawn, ask republic and the lugens republic. and they are essentially talking about how this is just the beginning. and if russia proceeds, are they what they referred to as a further invasion of ukraine?

there will be harsher consequences. and they made some very harsh allegations against russia, saying that russia does not recognize the sovereignty of the ukraine and ukraine's right to exist as a country. this is never been about the ukrainian nato. it's about reconstituting the russian empire or short of that a sphere of influence, ukraine and nato is really been an argument, an excuse to mask the fact that what this is about is present to you that ukraine is not a sovereign country. now this is the narrative we've been hearing from us leaders for quite some time that somehow this is about russia seeking to violate the territorial integrity of ukraine, not wrecking ukraine, recognizing ukraine as a country, not they are not touching on the fact that nato's expansion has indeed, been a threat to russia and they have not also touched on the fact that the minsk agreements

have not been implemented. and that, that moscow waited quite some time, 7 years before recognizing these republics that were declared in 2014. now it's important to know that much of what we heard from lincoln was actually what we heard earlier from us. president joe biden and biden said that, in addition to sanctions that are being imposed on russia now, which will make it harder for russian to trade on the global economy. and we'll target certain specific individuals in russia as well as their family members. that biden's said that while troops are being deployed, additional military forces from the united states are being deployed to europe. they don't want to directly have a confrontation with russia. they're not looking to fight with russia. we have no intention of fighting russia. we want to send an unmistakable message though. the united states, together with our allies, will defend every inch of nato territory. now,

later we heard from jen saki the white house spokesperson. and when she spoke, she was pressed on issues such as the possibility of the swift banking system and throwing russia out of the international banking system. now apparently this is not in the sanctions that are currently being considered on russia. so it seems like the white house is kind of scrambling to save face mid this moment as russia has gone ahead and recognised the dawn at the people's republic as well as the gods people's republic. and biden, the biden administration is trying to take action to the contrary and saying that if russia were to move ahead with what they call a further invasion of ukraine, there will be further consequences. so, not exactly clear messages coming from the biden administration about what their next moves might be. there are sanctions in the works. others certainly have a condemnation being directed at russia. no question about that. where we spoke with a journalist, an analyst keats's mansfield,

who says the biden has conceded the sanctions against russia will also have an impact on the american people. well, we were expecting, at least i was expecting to see perhaps some more fire and brimstone rhetoric from by wanting to really drive home that the u. s. was ready and willing to fight russia. thank goodness that wasn't said, but actions are going to speak louder than words, but biting. did portray this as an invasion. the problem with that kind of rhetoric that what has happened is an invasion of ukraine is you cannot invade a country that you are welcomed into by the people and the government. the government of the don bass region has been asking russia to recognise them since the euro maiden qu, that put in the anti russians lensky, government, ukraine, and don bass declared itself sovereign. they'd been asking for russia to recognise them as independence and russia did today. and is now the following through with

that or did yesterday. and now the following through with that recognition is not invasion. it's a peacekeeping mission if severe sanctions go through, you know, biden, in his address. his very short address that he gave today said that he wants to minimize, the pain felt by the, by the sanctions on the american people. so he's already admitted on live international television. that these sanctions are going to hurt the american people. and in my opinion, that is just going to further turn the american people, his constituents that have elected to, into office against him. because nobody least of all americans who have already been suffering from social services being cut and roads falling apart once to feel more pain and more of a boot because of economic hardship placed on them over some dispute, thousands and thousands of miles away from their homes. in the us, well,

russia's recognition of the dumbass republics has been welcomed by people in those regions. here is the reaction from locals on some of those who have fled to russia . we presently does not. ac follows region 14, i will die. i stay up with an over this, didn't you send it with you? shot it with nothing you would look like if i knew it was low,

has got messed up with no more than a hood. what other movie do stone? one beach who to do or to and all got diarrhea. i, she, she knew there were certain opinions. this is sheila, this sheila, according to the signed agreements, russia will help saying show the defense of the 2 republics. and that includes protecting their board as it allows the participants to create and use military bases on each of this territory. they will also recognise official documents, including passports. russia will provide supports for financial and banking systems in the 2 republics. and the treaties will last for 10 years, but can also be prolonged automatically. russia's recognition follows 8 years of conflicts in the don boss and more than 13000 people have been killed. that since early 2014, many of them civilians,

more than 23000 have been injured. and more than 1000000 displaced or massive explosion is reported to have happened in the center of don. yet a building belonging to a local television center is said, the been badly damaged, but no casualties are reported. but now several regions in da boss have been cut off from the water supply due to heavy shelling. all correspondence, romano call sort of is near don. yet with this old dates we are in the village of sy, glen of car, right outside the city of damascus. this place is a home to about 8000 people and it's so if a major major quite the last few days, i was told it's better to put on a bullet proof vest before thought working. oh, we are now waiting for the red cross who are going to deliver water and thanks for the people here because as a result of shelling, water supply was cut off to the people here and to nearby towns as well. oh and all about, well,

more than 20000 people have no access to drinking water. the moment we are riding along with the red cross delivering water tanks to the people here, we're driving right along the front line. the ukraine positions are merely just basically hundreds, all 5 meters away. but this, despite that, the, the red cross nice to deliver water tanks to a residence and they deliver to these a water tank for to 5 different locations in the village. this is for so told and secondly called water. they have also delivered a bottled water for those residents that say needed be international committee of that i cross is very concerned about the developments we have witnessed in the don bus over the past few days and times of conflict and violence. it is essential that all sides ensure the continuous supply of

a sufficient quantity of drinking water as well as other essential basic supplies to meet the daily needs of the civilian population on both sides of the line of contact. unfortunately, the recent intensification of the fighting has again put certain keys central services at risk of coming to a full stop. the ice r c would like to stress that we vowed urgent action to protect essential services . in areas where the hostilities take place. we might face humanitarian implications at the large scale. much of steel, illness was in the shelling over the last 2 weeks has become very frequent. people were evacuated from their homes and we were left without water. the red cross is bringing us water supplies for 8 years. we have been waiting for the republic to be recognized and now it's happened. so we won over in canada, the occupation of dance on also led by the truck. a convoy has now ended processes . we're taking

a stand against cove it mandates brought in by the government boats p. m, just intruder, broadside the big guns to disperse them. introducing the emergency sites for the 1st time in the country's history ortiz, pita oliver picks up that story in peace, half approved prime minister, just untrue those decision to invoke the emergencies act. here in canada, last monday, it passed through the house of commons, 185 to 151 votes. it always was thought that it would go through that was because true, those liberal party had a tentative alliance with the new democratic party on this particular issue. the greens also saying that they would vote in favor for the the, the putting in place of these measures against were the conservatives and the block cubic corps. and what we heard from the, the liberal party was them saying that this measures,

these measures that were put in place were needed in order to try and get the protestors who were all around here where i am in central or to were just a week ago in fact, they were all here up until saturday when they were forcefully removed from this area. you may be able to see just behind me as a fence that leads up to the, the parliament building. that fence is to not only keep protesters out but to keep everybody out apart from the m p. 's right now. and what we heard from them is saying that if it wasn't for those measures, they wouldn't be able to do this. that was strongly contested in a mammoth debate by the concert is unblock cubic core. and this, and i say, man as debate, i really mean it. it started at 7 o'clock and run through until midnight on saturday and sunday on monday. it started at 7 in the morning and ran through until 7 in the evening. and the liberal party also saying that they needed this. and these measures to be put in places that allowed them in order to be able to press

gang tow truck drivers into service so that they could tow away some of the trucks and their other vehicles that had been part of the, the protest part of the blockade that had been here in central or to where they also used the new measures that were in the emergencies act to freeze bank accounts of those that had been involved in organizing and financing all pro testers. now that has come in for a lots of criticism, a lot of scrutiny, saying that they basically isn't enough transparency of a what's being done when it comes to whose bank accounts are being frozen and how long those bank accounts are going to be frozen for the conservatives essentially saying that these measures were a little bit late using a sledge hammer to crack and nuts at the prime minister just and trudeau. though it stuck to his guns and said that he didn't want to introduce the emergencies act, but it was needed. and that's why he did it. we didn't want to use the emergencies

act. it's never something to turn to without serious consideration. but after weeks of dangerous and unlawful activities, after evidence of increased ideologically motivated, violent extremism activity across the country. after a flood of misinformation and disinformation washed over canada, including from foreign sources. after these illegal blockades and occupations received disturbing amounts of foreign funding to destabilize canada's democracy. it became clear that local and provincial authorities needed more tools to restore order and keep people safe. this vote isn't going to see any hatchet buried between the various parties here in canada that agree or disagree with the emergencies act. following the vote, we heard from m. p. 's from various different parties who still very much towed

their particular lines. i say this to all canadians that conservatives will continue to use every tool at our disposal and ministers, employer general murder mystery can even appoint a modern and then is also the protestors who were driven out of central author over the weekend. they were never going to expect much to be given to them by the politicians. they are saying know that they will continue to protest in some form. we waiting to see what form that will take, you know, the emergencies. i gives canadian police additional powers that enables banks to free the counts of people associated with the protest. conservatives on the block could require argue to the emergency sites was not even necessary in the 1st place . they accused the government of a power grabbed to force a majority votes on extending the measures, the emergency i replaced the war,

measures out in 1988. now the convoy received a global support and u. s. truckers have also now jumped on board at least $1000.00 american activists naming themselves the people's convoy ain't across the country in support of the canadian protesters. the demonstrators have published their own declaration urging the canadian government to lift the emergencies i've. we spoke with the co organizer of the people's convoy maureen steele, and she says the processor all about people getting their freedoms bite. i'm. that was the 1st time in history that to 2 neighboring nations join forces like that to protest their respective governments. anyway, after that the convoy started to form and so i jumped on board to help the truckers organize and hands. now we have the people's conway that it's not just the truckers, it is doctors, pilots, teachers, nurses, it's everybody. it was never about the mandates and restrictions, even in the deck, or in the,

in the truck or declaration it was about getting our meetings that are bad. the only way they can in, you know, implement that and trample the constitution is they have this emergency order in place and that needs to be lifted. the emergency is over. i think people are fed up with a lot more than just coded. they're fed up with cancel culture, they're fed up with the political, correct police. they're just fed up with the government overreach in general and cope it just put everyone over the edge. i mean, this has crippled the entire world. not that's just the united state. well, that's how the world is. look in odds. full 26 am moscow time. my name is peter scott, and i'll be back again with another look at today's biggest stories in just over half an hour. ah ah,

ah. with bring you the very latest every out the day this is all national fun. everyone had with hello driven by dreamer shaped by thinker. so those with

who dares thinks we dare to ask a mm hm. hello, welcome to world apart. more than 700 years ago, the great sophie boy, roomy, and one of the most enduring commentaries on the state of the world, comparing it to a really drunken body. and saying that the caravan of civilization has been ambushed with fools in cherish everywhere. he called untrue leaders to stand up and beat the captains that ships. well,

what does it take to navigate the dire straits of life 1st as a world class athlete them down as a world leader ought to discuss it. i'm now joined by prime minister of pakistan. even upon prime minister, chris, you see you great to talk to thank you very much for your time. my pleasure. now i begin with this somewhat their bows introduction 1st because i know of your interest. and so, and more importantly, because i think your whole life in politics and before that is a very colorful and i think very authentic illustration of following your heart desires, reach, forced air, essential tear room stations, and the teachings of other air mistakes. you're going to turn 17 year this year. what keeps you powered? well, let me say one thing i look as when i, when a human is born it within him, he's trying to look for god. and this is a constant journey towards god. lot of people,

unfortunately never ask the 2 questions. they never asked themselves, what is the purpose of existence and what happens to be after i die? but whenever they ask these questions, it takes them towards god. the only way you can on have the quest answer to this question, the purpose of existence, what happens to us when we die isn't religion. and all religions answer that western science doesn't. so that the 2 ways of existence. one is the spiritual and the other is the material. and for me, if you are on the spiritual a road, then you will always be looking for how you can a face, your god, after you die, that you have fulfill your responsibility as a human being. and are responsible as, as a human being is the more god gives us the more responsibility we have to

lift to help other human beings. well,
